Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which bike is better between Street Triple or Honda CBR 650 R?
  • Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget, features required, brand preference, etc. The Triumph Street Triple R is a fantastic no-nonsense friendly big bike with great performance, phenomenal intuitive handling, and a top-drawer kit. It does skimp on features and looks a bit bland but it seriously knocks it out of the pack in the VFM department. It has great handling characteristics, phenomenal performance, fantastic value-for-money, and sounds beautiful. On the other hand, Honda CBR650R has become pretty expensive. Scores low on price-to-performance doesn’t have a lot of modern features or electronic rider aids. It looks sporty and aggressive, with inline-four smoothness and exhaust note. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and riding comfort. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
Q. Does it have a waterproof TFT display and which should I go for Kawasaki Z900, Triumph Street Triple or Ducati XDiavel but it should look like sporty bike like Triumph Street triple?
  • These bikes are different segment z900cc is best but maintenance is high and triumph also but ducati too cost bike, maintenance it's cruise segment. My opinion go ahead z900 bcoz its Japanese bikes.
  • If you want a sportive bike choose between z900 and street triple... because Diavel looks bit like a cruise bikeAnd again if you come to choose between z900 and triumph then I suggest you choose between brands not bikes because both the bikes are best with no issues but when it comes to maintainence triumph donot usually have spare parts available at the service center.......... As my personal experience you have to wait for over 2-3 months for any kind of part as the spares come from U.K It took about 4 months for me to just get the triumph logos where as kawasaki has got better service than triumph
Q. Which one to buy Triumph Street Triple RS or MT-09?
  • MT 09
  • Triumph all the way
