Looking at getting one of these three bikes, wondering if anyone has ever owned/ridden all of them who can offer an impartial opinion?

I love the low down useable power of the MT having come from a twin background but have always loved the sound of the triples, but at the same time love the riding style of a IL4 cyclinder…

Will be getting test rides booked eventually but wanted to see if I could rule anything out early.

The Mt is certainly fun but a little too vibrate on longer runs. The four is better for long runs and a little more sporty. The happy medium is the triple.

My latest ride is a sprint st1050. I never get bored of it. The sound, the torque and the sheer exileration of the ride is awesome.

Test them then get the triple.

I've owned a Mt-07 and and have a Tracer 7 now (Mt-07 engine in more touring style frame), I've also test ridden a Street Triple 765.

I loved the engine on the MT-07, its not massive power but more than enough for realistically using on the road. It's quite a small bike but at 5"7 I found it perfect for me but if you're tall it might feel quite small, saying that the street triple felt small as well.

Reliability was fine I had no issues but it does feel like a cheap bike to me.

The Street Triple felt like a naked sportsbike, its so fun to ride. Its got a lot more power than the MT-07 and way better suspension and electronics but then it's a bike that's a couple of grand more. The build of it feels so much better than the Mt-07 as well. I found that I just wanted to thrash it all the time and that wasn't what I wanted from a bike, I have a track bike for that.

I ended going for the Tracer 7 as its so comfy for all day riding and has the MT-07 engine, I'll can live with the cheaper build quality.

If you are after a toy for playing at the weekends Triumph all day long.

This! All of this!

Mt07, is a smaller cheaper street triple. Go triumph every time between the two.

Butnif you want the cheaper smaller bike the tracer blows the mt out the water every time.
