I have been riding my 09 Street Triple R since early 2012. I dont do a lot of k's in any given year but all the ones I do are purely for pleasure.... even the commute ones.
I have considered "upgrading" mine every time there's been a tweak from Triumph and I can say that I have ridden every iteration of the 675 motor. I came fairly close to getting the last of the RS 675's but in the end had no free cash to buy a bike with - so it didnt happen.
Basically every time I did the cost benefit analysis there wasn't enough of a difference between what I had (which has been quite extensively tarted up since new) and the new model.
The 765 might be a different thing though because it is bigger, the RS has quite a lot of fruit, it is light, and it has all the electronic whizz bangs that my bike does not have. Plus 120hp at the wheel according to a dyno chart I saw.
My bike is now worth fuck all - probably $7k if that so the upgrade cost is quite steep.
I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave
