What Buyers Should Know
Moto2-Derived Engine
The 765cc triple shares its DNA with the official Moto2 championship engine, giving it a uniquely crisp, high-revving character rare in street bikes. This motorsport connection also means the engine design has been extensively stress-tested at the highest level.
Watch the Throttle Bodies
Some owners report occasional rough idle and hesitation issues linked to throttle body synchronization drifting over time — a relatively easy dealer fix but worth checking on used examples. Also inspect for any recalls related to the gear position sensor on pre-2020 models.
Strong Resale Value
The Street Triple 765 RS holds its value exceptionally well compared to Japanese competitors, typically retaining 70-75% of its value after two years. Its strong brand reputation and limited depreciation make it one of the smarter buys in the middleweight naked segment.

Used Buyer Review
"The middleweight naked benchmark — buy one before prices climb further."
$8,500-$12,500 usedThe 765 RS is genuinely one of the best middleweight nakeds ever built, and the used market has made it properly attainable. That triple engine is the real deal — 113bhp delivered with a linear, addictive spread of power that makes you faster than you realise. The Öhlins suspension front and rear transforms the chassis into something genuinely telepathic, and the Brembo Stylema brakes are stadium-grade stoppers on a street bike. Buying used, check the throttle bodies for corrosion if it's been stored wet — early examples occasionally had fuelling niggles that a dealer flash sorted. Look at chain and sprocket wear, because riders who love this engine tend to use it hard. The quickshifter on pre-2020 bikes can feel notchy downshifting under load; post-2020 revisions cleaned that up considerably. Serviceability is reasonable for a Triumph, but factor in dealer costs — independent specialists who know the triple exist and charge sensibly. This isn't a cheap bike to run, but it's worth every penny if you actually ride.
