Used Buyer Review

The Street Triple 675 is one of those bikes that ruins you for everything else. That three-cylinder motor is genuinely special — it revs with a urgency that inline-fours can't match at street speeds, and the sound through the standard exhaust is properly addictive. Buy one with an aftermarket can and you'll be grinning every time you blip the throttle. Used examples are everywhere now, which means prices are honest and you can afford to be picky. That said, go in with your eyes open. Check the service history religiously — the engine needs valve clearances checked every 10,000 miles and owners frequently skip it. Inspect the frame sliders situation too; these get dropped in car parks by confident-but-clumsy owners more often than you'd think. Pre-2012 models can have throttle body sync issues causing rough low-speed fueling. The 2013 facelift sorted most of that. For the money, nothing touches it on pure riding enjoyment. It's genuinely fast, handles with real precision, and feels properly premium without the premium running costs. Best used buy in the middleweight class, full stop.
