Cookie's Street Triple 765 R

[duke63]

I bet he's already sat outside the dealers, waiting for them to open.

He's a bit restless this morning.

Is it time yet? Is it time yet?

[Kwacky]

You going with him Duke?

I feel sorry for your wife today

Are you going to do a 200 mile trip back home to bed it in?

Mrs Cookie is probably going to come with me, she's got a bad shoulder so depends on how the leathers go on.

I'm going to come back home with it, have a play and fit the rad guard and tank pads (then go out again for a play)

Enjoy it Cookie pleased for you pal

[C00kiemonster]

Got it

Very pleased. Now a whole 47km into it's life.

Revs limit me to about 65mph for the first little while

Photo's later as i'm off out again in a min...

Are you told that you're limited or is the bike ECU doing it so you're limited?

[Stonesie]

With my '13 STR the instructions were
Up to 3/4 max rpm (9k with its 13k redline)
No full throttle starts
No prolonged operation at constant revs.


Quite a fun break in procedure, hopefully they havent changed it too much. It didn't do it any harm with track days being the only thing to make it burn any oil.

The guy at Triumph told me pretty much the same thing, as well as don't labour the engine.

[Deegee]

Labouring the engine is the biggest no-no of the lot with new engines, let the engine spin, but don't be daft is the plain English version of nearly all running in instructions imho.

Hope you're having a great new bike day Cookie!

Are you told that you're limited or is the bike ECU doing it so you're limited?

No - the bike redlines at 5k but you can still take it to 13 if you want ; You can set the redline in the clever dash menu thingie.

It's been to 8k a couple of times today but nothing silly. 160kms now and bedding in nicely.

[Kwacky]

I changed the red light settings on mine when I got it home

A couple of pics, more later as it's food time...:

[Kwacky]

Very smart indeed

Triumph have done a good job with details, like the red piping and the reservoir pots

Done 160kms now.

Initial impressions of the bike are good. It was a good purchase.

I was trying to think of some clever things to say about this bike, its the engine that makes the bike, but it's not. It's all of it.

It's a very naughty bike this. Even with a 5k (most of the time) rev limit to run it in, it's a very naughty bike that make you look better than your ability.

The whole thing has a quality feel to it and every element works extremely well. The brakes are good now - maybe could do with a bit more bite, but they stop very well. I suspect ABS based brakes have a different feel - too early to tell and may just need pads that are more bitey at some point but very good.

The clutch is excellent, so very light and the gearbox is like butter.

Engine just wants to rev. I had to put the bike in rain mode to slow it up a little to stick around the rev limits. I put it in 'rider mode' for a few minutes and its very eager (too eager for early running in.

I'm most impressed with the way it holds a line in the corner. Pick a point and it will go to it. By far the best handling bike i've ridden or owned.

Tyres (Rosso Corsa III) are excellent in the dry, impressive tyres - warm up very quickly and the rear is fairly close to the edge already.

Triumph have certainly raised their game since i last owned one.

Early days, but a great bike. I'll put all my bits on it tomorrow and get some more kms on it.

I have to say since I took one on a test ride I could not find anything I did not like, a great machine for lots of fun.
Happy days

Don't pussyfoot around too much with running it in, give it some stick from time to time.
