Stripple 765rs vs mt10sp

[StreetDragster]

Hi all

I've just sold my 675r street triple with the full intention of going to a Yamaha mt10sp.

I like the colour scheme and the tft display more than the adjustable suspension, which I'll probably never adjust. I borrowed one whilst another bike was in for a service and it was awesome, loved it.

Now a friend has pointed out that for the price of a two year old mt10sp, I could get a new 765rs stripple.

Has anyone any experience of both bikes, how do they compare and the pros and cons of both. Tank range I expect will be much better on the 765.

Thanks in advance
Matt

The 765 handles better and feels much lighter than the MT10,and it will definitely drink less. But the engine in the MT10 is a real peach. If you're into adding parts to the bike the MT is good as lots of R1 & R1M parts fit. If it were me I'd buy a standard MT10 (as you wont be adjusting the suspension anyways) and spend the extra on a R1M Ohlins TTX rear shock, Ohlins FGK235 cartridge kit, R1 / RCS19 master cylinder and a remap. Lots of good factory luggage options for the Yamaha too, not sure about the 765 as I have only ridden one for a test ride. To be honest though I think it comes down to the kind of riding you want to do, the 765 handles like a dream and is a joy to ride on a tight twisty road or filtering through traffic. The MT10 will egg you on to pull huge wheelies and generally be a hooligan.

Funnily enough I’ve been pondering this for a while, I’ve had a 2016 R1 and a 2017 Street rs, I want the Street when I think about Sunday morning blasts when you’re out attacking the twisties, all other times I want something a bit bigger and more torquey. The Street is a small bike that really likes to rev.

Decided on the MT which I hope to pick up tomorrow.

How about the tuono? That’s got the oomph of the mt with the preciseness of the Street.

Yer they just don't appeal to me, or the ktm to be honest.

Cheers for all replies so far, some interesting views

Thanks

I've ridden both. I do like a triple and the 765 you can rag the crap out of without thinking 'fk' that was fast

As said depends what you want. The Triumph is nicer finished, dash, electronics etc it is however a bit flat in the mid range vs the mt10. If you get the Mt a major thing that goes for it is the engine... And price

I nearly booked a test ride on the 2020 street to see if the increase in torque has made much difference but after having had a few streets now fancied a change.

As for the tuono I was never too fussed on them until I rode my mates 2019 factory the other day. Majorly changed my mind on them, what a bike! Sadly my budget wouldn’t stretch so a mt will have to do for a while. Still haven’t ridden one yet...

I was very underwhelmed by a 765rs which I got after a k4 Gsxr 750.

Only had it a few months, just didn’t make me want to ride it.

I’m currently drawn to a Z900. Mt-10 is a bit too muscle bike compromised for me.

I am thinking about getting either 765RS or SpeedRS.

Basically, MT10SP will be way more powerful, more torque, more weight also. More muscle bike.

765RS, as 44Teeth called it, supersport without fairings, based on Daytona chassis, very polished.
They compared it to 890 KTM.
Thought 765RS was "boring" because it is too polished, well, it is based on supersport and 890 is based on motard chassis.

Personally I like 765RS and Speed RS. I rode them both back to back, but 765RS was the previous version, the latest version has more torque in the midrange.

When I tried 765RS vs SpeedRS I liked Speed more, it felt more substantial, more macho somehow, also heavier, but the muscle bike feel was quite intoxicating as well, to me it was more of an event / weekend ride bike, Street came across as very light and nimble but a bit thin in power department, not that it was not fast enough, it was, but Speed just pulled at any rev and any gear.

So I currently more inclined towards Speed RS, also because the next model will look even more like Street, with similar lights and underside exhaust, the current model is the last classic Speed RS.

If you've jumped off of a 675, you might be a bit disappointed with the later bike. It's probably a 'better' bike than the Yamaha but with a bit of setup the MT10 would be pretty decent and likely more interesting?
