British bike maker Triumph Motorcycles Ltd has set the stage to launch the new 2023 Street Triple 765 R and Street Triple 765 RS in India on 15 March, 2023.

2023 Triumph Street Triple 765 R and Street Triple 765 RS: Design
The 2023 Street Triple R and Street Triple RS do not pack a raft of changes but get just a few styling changes. To start with, Triumph has made the Street Triple sportier and more aggressive than its predecessor, thanks to the addition of a new fly screen, a new, smaller, and sculpted fuel tank, raised tail section and reshaped fuel tank extensions. However, the duo retains their signature bug-eye-shaped headlights.
Furthermore, the R and RS are equipped with a new 12mm wider handlebar. Meanwhile, both motorcycles have seat heights of 836mm and 826mm, respectively. The 2023 Street Triple R and Street Triple RS come with new colour schemes. In some western markets, the R is available with Silver Ice and Crystal White, while the RS is available in three paint options: Silver Ice, Carnival Red, and Cosmic Yellow. The India-bound models are also likely to carry the same colours.
