The year was 2007. I picked up an issue of MCN and, within 20 minutes, I fell in love with the Triumph Street Triple years before I could legally ride one. I made a promise to myself that year that when I could afford a Street Triple, I’d buy one.
It took an embarrassingly long time, but I kept my promise. And to this day, it was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. I couldn’t have asked more from a motorcycle. So when I saw Triumph was making a limited-edition Street Triple 765 RX, I did a double take.
