Honda CB 650 R vs Triumph Street Triple 765 Comparison

The Honda CB650R has a superb inline four-cylinder engine which is tractable and will hold low speeds in a high gear. At higher revs there's enough performance to keep you entertained, although the lack of features and electronics is a let down. With a steep price tag, the Honda CB650R though fails to make for a convincing case.

The Triumph Street Triple is offered in two variants on sale in India, the Street Triple R and the more performance-oriented Street Triple RS. A combination of very good performance, sharp dynamics, and kitted out with good electronics, makes it a very good sporty roadster in its segment. While the R variant does miss out on the top-spec components and more performance of the RS, it's the Street Triple RS which offers one of the best roadsters on sale right now in India.
