7..6..5..The New ..3..2..1 & Go!
xBhp|April-May'2017

When you have a motorcycle which makes every tunnel sound like a darn opera house, you know you have to rev it harder and push it further to enjoy the music even better. I am talking about the new Street Triple 765 RS, the latest offering from Triumph Motorcycles.

​Let’s talk business. My job is to tell you how a motorcycle is, so you can put in your hard earned money on the motorcycle which will bring the widest grin on your face. It’s a big responsibility when I can influence your decisions and ask you to put your faith in a product. There are so many factors which make it difficult.

Use your common sense before you decide to buy any motorcycle. There are plenty of motorcycles available in India which specialise in different applications - long distance touring, track, adventure touring, cruising or hyperbikes which maximise narcissism! To be frank, every modern motorcycle has been well researched with inputs from many people, with years of combined experience. Besides the odd mechanical issue, they are perfect for their application.

What we ‘reviewers’ can do is share our experience, which can be subjective. I strongly believe in WYFIWYR (What You Feel Is What You Ride). I’ll base this ‘review’ on the premise that you have something in common with me - I earn my money the hard way and I like my bikes to be fast and precise when I want them to and sound like a million bucks. I also take my bikes on long hauls and on the track. So let’s do this.

Looks 

Let’s be honest. For most of us looks do matter. There is a saying that if you do not look back once at your parked motorcycle, you haven’t got the right one! All the motorcycles that I own pass this test with flying colours. I want to look at them when parked at a gas station. I want it to beckon me to click a photo of it in exotic places and make beautiful photos and memories. I want it to look beautiful, yes.
