Dropped It!

+1
If it's just the weight that bothers you give the Street 765 a test. The misses has the 675 and manages to keep up.
(not managed to drop that one for her...... yet)

 

I had a 765rs as a loaner for a couple of days.i thought it may feel like a naked version of my Daytona 675r but it was far from it. I really didn’t get gel with it at all. It just felt like a watered down version of my speed rs (which I guess it is) It doesn’t feel as planted and It lacks torque low down even campoared to the Daytona so I I had to revs the nuts of it to stop it stalling when pulling away which I still did numerous times. The stock sound is also uninspiring and bland. I’m sure it’s quite capable though and the above criticisms can be sorted with a few mods but as stock it isn’t for me.

 

I test rode the RS , loved it but only have 29inch inside leg so VERY much on tip toes .... loved the bike enough to get the Lust racing lowering kit and Triumph low rider seat ... suspension set up properly to maintain rake etc and all has been fine so far Just a thought

 

Moe , it was between that bike and the RS for me and the RS won when I sold my CB1000r ... Beemer is a great bike (as a most these says) but I preferred, for a change, the character of the Triple compared to the 4 cyclinders .... I have short legs so had the Lust Racing lowering kit fitted plus Triumph low rider seat .... with both feet virtually flat on the floor I have total confidence and having had the suspension set up for the lowering it's a great ride ! Beemer is good but the RS does it more for me Let us know what you try if you decide to change All the best mate

Super quick but just as heavy I would have thought

 

Good to hear Moe

 

Worth a try

 

you can get all the bits you need here, £108.9 for end cap i think, may be plus VAT too.I dropped mine on that side too in petrol station, snapped brake leaver too.

 

you need to give them the part number off the back of your can.

 

Ahhh it is so annoying when stuff like this happens, but you can guarantee it will at the end of a long day, when you're tired, hungry, etc. Similar happened to me in my garage with my Fireblade, after a day's worth of spannering on it and putting it back together, dropping it off the (RUBBISH!) warrior stand, it just started to topple away from me. Once it starts to go, that's it. No saving it!

Sorry to hear and glad you are ok - the damage to the bike could have been a lot worse!

 

Hi Mrs fzr had the same top heavy problem with her speed triple. I fitted a lithium battery and a 3 into 1 Leovince found some titanium nuts and bolts left over from my racing days. Result over 10 kilos lighter mainly high up. Transformed the slow manoeuvrability of the bike.

 

Did exactly that with my Speed R and fitted a scorpion low boy carbon can, to try and get the weight lower down. It’s a twat being a short ass but it’s made me more comfortable and given me more confidence riding it.
