The power delivery is excellent from the Triumph triple motor . Truly awesome . Smooth and responsive with excellent torque . The 1160cc engine is fun , playful , intuitive , and bloody quick . Also , it is very manageable instilling ease of use and confidence in all levels of rider – it is a gem . The power delivery is such that within 100 meters of jumping on the black RS , the front wheel was lofting , all felt perfectly normal , as if I had been riding it all my life . The loft felt easy , cylinder engine is new , and up 29hp on the previous lump , now peaking at a whopping 177hp at 10,750rpm , while torque has jumped slightly to 125Nm at 9000rpm . Overall bike weight is down 10kg and both bikes now slide in just under 200kg ( RR 199kg vs RS 198kg ) wet . They have six-speed gearboxes , which are particularly sweet shifting via a slick quick-shifter . Both carry around 16 litres of fuel , which is not quite enough in my book , but okay .
