Ever since its inception in the early 2000s, the Triumph Street Triple instantly became a cult classic. With twin circular headlamps and the iconic Daytona 675 engine, the Street Triple has always been a middleweight naked to reckon with. The 2020 Triumph Street Triple 765 range was already amongst our favourite naked bikes and for 2023, Triumph has taken this tested formula, polished and sharpened it and given birth to the new Street Triple 765 R and RS. There’s no longer an S variant. The changes to the bike include minor design changes, tweaks to the riding geometry, engine updates and a comprehensive electronics package upgrade. To see if all this amounts to a significantly better bike, Triumph took us to sunny Spain to have a go at no less than the fabled Circuito de Jerez, even letting us loose on the R and the RS in the beautiful twisties of Jerez and Seville.
On the design front, the changes aren’t radical. The Triumph’s overall silhouette remains largely unchanged, a good thing, because the bug-eyed headlamps and that aggressive, compact stance have always been a big hit with me. The changes, though minor, do contribute to making a sharper bike. You get a sharper fuel-tank with new recesses, and this allowed me to grip the bike so much better. Add tank grips and you’re golden. This design change does however come with a capacity dip, the new tank holding 15 litres of dino juice instead of 17.4 litres before. There are also sharper body panels.

BABY ROVER
The Range Rover Evoque has always been one good-looking car. It is compact and sharp, and manages to capture the essence of the big Rangie but in a smaller size. Now, for 2024, there's a bit of a makeover. The usual stuff- a style update and a spruced-up interior. What caught my eye is the new Autobiography trim, taking cues from its inspiration. But the one we're cruising in is the Dynamic SE, which turns things a bit more sporty.
