This carbon-clad Street Triple 765 looks like a supersport weapon
The bike is the result of a collaboration between Sunoco, Factory M Carbon Works and a Koreon bike website.
The current rules in the Supersport class have opened the door to a number of weird and wonderful machines. One of those bikes is the normally naked Street Triple 765 RS, which has been reimagined here in all its carbon-fibre glory.

The bike you can see here is the result of a collaboration between the American oil brand Sunoco, the carbon fibre manufacturer Factory M Carbon Works, and Motorbike magazine - the latter two participants hailing from Korea.
Beneath the aerodynamics and paintwork lies Triumph’s all-conquering mid-weight naked, although as with any track special, it’s been left far from stock.
Factory M, one of the main protagonists in the project, specialises in carbon fibre wizardry, and for this bike, the team took their cues straight from MotoGP - with a bit of KTM RC 8C thrown in for good measure. With Triumph building engines for Moto2 but not running a premier-class bike, the aero inspiration apparently came courtesy of KTM’s RC16 MotoGP machine. The result is a Street Triple dripping with carbon and shaped by simulation, rather than guesswork.
No racebike is complete without a striking set of clothes, and this one wears its influences on its fairing. The design pulls from the blue and yellow of the Sunoko logo, complete with arrow motifs. To keep the carbon fibre on show, Factory M minimised the painted areas – a move that makes the weave pop all the more and makes it look every inch the factory racer it's trying to be. The finishing touches come from Dabrabbit Graphics, which supplied the decals for the machine’s partner companies.
Performance isn’t just about what’s under the tank, and aero scoops and elements have been grafted onto the braking system, helping cool the front calipers and discs while adding downforce. More pressure on the tyre means more cornering confidence. The front mudguard is also a multi-purpose Factory M special, giving the Street Triple a proper race-ready look.
Of course, no racer worth its salt leaves the engine untouched. The Triumph gains an Arrow Racing full system and a BMC filter, all based on the Street Triple platform, to unlock more shove. The man tasked with putting it all to good use is Yeonsoo Kim of Monthly Motorbike (the Korean magazine), who threw a leg over it for Triumph Korea in the Korean Superbike 2025 One Super Race round.
Carbon fibre, MotoGP aero inspiration, and a throaty Arrow pipe – it looks like Factory M’s Street Triple is ready to ruffle some feathers.
