Triumph Motorcycles India has finally launched the 2023 Street Triple 765 RS and Street Triple 765 R. The 2023 Triumph Street Triple R is priced at ¥1.017 million, while the Street Triple RS is priced at ¥1.181 million. All prices are ex-showroom prices in India. Triumph will not be bringing the top Street Triple Moto2 variant sold internationally to India. The middleweight Street Fighter gets a host of upgrades for better performance and a fresh new look.
The 2023 Street Triple 765 Series now has a sharper look. New twin-pod LED headlamps with LED DRLs are inspired by the larger Street Triple 1200 RS. The motorcycle also received revised bodywork for a more aggressive new look, while housing a larger 15-litre fuel tank, a gull-wing swingarm and new radiator fairings. The Street Triple RS further differentiates itself with body-coloured webs, a seat cover above the rear seat and a lower chain guard.
