NO BETTER WAY TO REVIEW A motorcycle than to fully exploit its N potential on a racetrack and that is exactly what we got to do with the 2023 Triumph Street Triple. The first-generation model was launched back in 2007 and has come a long way since then. For 2023, Triumph have taken their learnings from Motoz and drastically improved the potent in-line triple-cylinder motor along with other major updates. To experience the motorcycle, we got to test it for a full day at the Jerez Circuit in Spain, followed by a ride on road the next day.
The bike retains the iconic Street Triple silhouette with some elements that give it a sharper and sportier look. The fuel tank is sculpted more like a sport bike where it is higher and tapers towards the front. It has a capacity of 15 litres, thus making it 2.4 litres smaller than the previous-generation model. The sleek bug eyes with daytime running lights (DRL) give the motorcycle an angrier look and they are placed slightly higher up. There is a sleek panel on top of this headlight set-up as compared to the previous model that sported a tiny windscreen. The RS sports an underbelly cowl which can be fitted as an accessory on the R model. In terms of looks, this is one desirable motorcycle, especially in this Carnival Red paint scheme.
