Triumph Street Triple 765 Moto2 Review

Used Buyer Review

The Moto2 edition takes an already brilliant Street Triple R and cranks everything up a notch. That 765cc triple sings like nothing else in this class — 130bhp with Triumph's Moto2 tune means it pulls hard everywhere and sounds absolutely savage through the Öhlins-equipped chassis. Used examples are appearing around the $10-12k mark now, and honestly that's where they make most sense. New money felt steep for what's essentially cosmetic and suspension upgrades over the R. Check the Öhlins forks carefully — they can weep seals if the previous owner was careless about storage. The quickshifter is standard and works brilliantly, but inspect the electronics connector behind the headlight cowl; it's a known weak point for corrosion on earlier examples. Bodywork replacement costs are eye-watering given the special livery parts aren't interchangeable with standard Street Triple panels. For sheer riding enjoyment per dollar spent, few middleweight nakeds touch it. Just go in with eyes open on those suspension seals and bodywork costs if you ever drop it.
