More importantly, there are significant changes to the 765 cc in-line three-cylinder engine, which now makes 9 per cent more mid-range power, but peak power in numbers remains the same 121 bhp at 11,750 rpm, while peak torque is rated at 79 Nm at 9,350 rpm, with higher mid-range torque. With an improved and wider mid-range, the new Street Triple RS is expected to be even more engaging to ride, as well as pack significant punch in the mid-range to make it an entertaining performer, on the road, and on the track. The throttle has been made more responsive, and the redesigned exhaust system and revised exhaust cam timing has contributed to increase peak and mid-range torque.
