Reportedly, it has been found that the Indian arm of the British largest motorcycle manufacturer, Triumph has started accepting bookings for its best selling middleweight- naked motorcycle, 2017 Triumph Street Triple across the country. As the motorcycle is expected to reach dealerships as early as the second week of June, desirables can book for the new Street Triple at the nearest Triumph dealership, at the token amount ranging from Rs 1 Lakh to Rs 2 lakh, varying across dealerships. The deliveries against bookings are expected to take place by the end of June 2017.
Globally, the British premium bike maker offers this Street Triple model in three variants of the Street Triple S, the Street Triple R and the Street Triple RS. Out of which, the Indian motoring market is firstly going to witness the arrival of the base Street Triple S model, while the top end variant the Street Triple RS will join its sibling by the end of this year.
Look wise, you will not find much difference in the new Street Triple from the outgoing one, but it has got some revisions at the aesthetic end, to add an appealing element to the motorcycle.

However, the noticed major changes are underneath the skin, as the new bike is much lighter than the older one, with the 2kgs reduction in overall weight. The bike now comes with better mass centralisation, which has been received by the repositioning of the exhaust closer to the engine. The seat has been uplifted by 10mm to placed it at the new position of 810mm. The suspension setup has also been upgraded from KYB to Showa, now it gets fully adjustable 41mm upside down separate function forks at the front and a semi-adjustable mono-shock at the rear. While the braking will continue to come from the same twin 310mm disc anchored to Nissin 2-piston calipers and a single 220mm disc integrated with a Brembo single piston caliper at the front and rear wheel respectively.
Mechanically, the 2017 Street Triple has gone through a major transformation, as the motorcycle will now get propelling power from a larger 765cc, in-line 3-cylinder engine inherited from the Daytona 675R. The new motor is capable of churning out 113 PS of maximum power at 11,250rpm from the mated gearbox transmission.
According to the Triumph India officials, the new 2017 Street Triple S will be a full-fledged version in the country as available on international grounds. Lately, the prices for the new Street Triple 765 has not been disclosed yet, but it is expected that the motorcycle will carry a price tag with a premium extra ranging from Rs 25,000 to Rs 50,000 over the outgoing Street Triple price. Currently, the ongoing Street Triple 675 is available at Rs 8.8 lakh on-road Delhi.
