If straight-line speed is your priority, the Street Triple 765 RS takes the lead. With 46 HP more than the GSX-8S, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Street Triple 765 RS has a clear advantage. Weighing in 14kg less than the GSX-8S, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the GSX-8S. Its seat height is 26mm lower than the Street Triple 765 RS, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the street-triple765 offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
