I went out to Blade Triumph yesterday and had a good look at the Speed Triple 765 RS with the intent of laying some ready's on it.
just one thing bothered me and thats the 1980's Midi HiFi graphic equalizer lookalike dash layout, its not a patch on the older RS dash which is nice and clean.
its not gonna be a deal breaker but i much prefer the "older" layout

What do you guy's reckon..your thoughts ?

Don’t look at the dash Trev, there’s nothing interesting going on there any way :rolleyes:.

That bike is a tool and a half , any review you watch will back that up , and it's superior to most other things out there in it's class . To possibly write it off because it doesn't have a double usb charging port is a little bit silly . :)

How much time do you actually spend looking at the dash? Granted Don has an original Street triple but he seems to always be looking at the road and grinning from ear to ear like a loon!

valid points, but when i do occasionally glance at the dash i do like to see whats going on, as i said the dash is not a deal breaker.

here's the dash pics, the 1st is the older 2018 version and the second is the 2020 version i know you can select different modes but they are all much the same. i'm not keen on the split rpm display that shows the same revs on both sides just looks a bit playstation for me but then maybe its an age thing :D

Second picture does not seem as clear and can't see the whole dash, but like you said not a deal breaker and ma sure you will get used to it. Happy decision making and roll on the good warm weather again.

I had a ride of bruv’s today.
Just a real quick dart up the road, but even from that short blat, by feck it’s a nice bit of kit.

Yeah, a great bike but the
675 motor was a horrible buzzy affair. It felt like it was revving flat out at tick over, yuk.
This bigger motor is much nicer :cool:

Looks awesome. I guess the Rev counters a bit of a gimick but at least they’re doing something different than just show a normal dial. It wouldn’t put me off either. Looks good in the black/grey.

TBH i do prefer the silver, not to ken on the matt black style finish
