There’s no doubt that the two-cylinder bike configuration already packs plenty of punch, but honestly they’re a bit utilitarian. Of course, the other side of that coin is the four-cylinder engine, which scream with the vigour of a dedicated opera singer, but they are also generally impractical and not at all efficient. 

And so that brings us to the happy medium that are three-cylinder bike benefits. These are the top bikes for living in England and bringing character and flair without killing practicality.

10. Yamaha MT-09

We would be remiss not to mention the bike that all of Yamaha’s three-cylinder bikes are based off of. Its reliable engine introduced a beautiful refinement without an ugly price tag to follow at just over $10,000. Of course, as the influence of greater evolutions, the MT-09 rests at the number ten spot, but it is well-earned nonetheless.

• Power - 117 HP

• Torque - 69 lb-ft

9. Yamaha XSR900

In 2016, Yamaha introduced the XSR900 to the market in the hopes of reinvigorating the delicate balance between classic design and contemporary technology. Six years later, it made a few core updates, including an improved suspension and the addition of the 890cc engine, and the versatile bike is now one of the best on the market.

• Power - 118 HP

• Torque - 68.6 lb-ft

8. Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+

You might be noticing a trend in this list by now, and that’s no accident. Yamaha’s third entry on the list shows how well it has the three-cylinder down to a science. Another versatile bike, the Tracer 9 GT+ uses a semi-active suspension, benefiting from a comfortable chassis to ensure its riders could ride around to all the Biker-friendly pubs in England without a speck of discomfort. No stopping for a drink, though!

• Power - 115 HP

• Torque - 69 lb-ft

7. Triumph Speed Triple  

No stranger to “best of” lists, Triumph’s Speed Triple has always been thought of as one of the best three-cylinder bikes for living in England. Whether you’re taking a short jaunt to a cafe or want to travel across the UK with it, the Speed Triple will turn heads wherever you go. Plus, there are quite a few options to pick from, including the huge 1200 RS.

• Power - 177 HP

• Torque - 92 lb-ft

6. MV Agusta Brutale 800

Some of the nicest looking bikes on the market come from MV Agusta, and the Superveloce, also featured on this list, is living proof of that. Of course, so too is the Brutale 800, which definitely lives up to its name. In fact, the staggering bike is precisely the sort that might make an eager bettor find no verification betting sites on BettingNonGamStop.com and bring his confidence to the track. And, as an added bonus, the Brutale 800 is utterly jam-packed with the best electronics.

• Power - 140 HP

• Torque - 64 lb-ft

5. Triumph Rocket 3

It’s true - like Yamaha, Triumph also dominates the three-cylinder market with a great foundational design under its belt. In fact, there are four bikes from Triumph on this list, but this is definitely one that stands out. Its power is chart-topping, and it’s incredibly heavy, but both of those work in conjunction to remain perfectly nimble, even around corners. 

• Power - 165 HP

• Torque - 163 lb-ft

4. MV Agusta Superveloce 800

Few things compare to the feelings stirred up by a beautiful Italian motorcycle, and there is perhaps no better example of this than MV Agusta’s Superveloce 800. The design simply takes your breath away, and the ride proves that it’s more than just a pretty face. The manufacturer even recently launched an Ago edition to honour world champion Giacomo Agostini, who clinched fourteen titles with MV Agusta’s help.

• Power - 147 HP

• Torque - 65 lb-ft

3. MV Agusta LXP Orioli

It takes a particular rider to consider dropping nearly $30,000 for an adventure bike that wasn’t made by Triumph or BMW, but it seems clear that MV Agusta has its sights on this niche market, aiming to scoop up those who want something a little different from the usual GS and Tiger options. Here, you get crash bars, a sturdy Sachs suspension, and LED auxiliary lights to help navigate the cloudy climate better.

• Power - 124 HP

• Torque - 75.23 lb-ft

2. Triumph Daytona 660

An all-new offering from Triumph, the Daytona 660 does not feel imposing, which benefits new riders hoping to gain more confidence on the throttle. Of course, it’s not just for beginners by any stretch of the imagination. The redline increases to 12,650 RPM from its original Trident iteration, but packages it all up in a chic, reasonably priced chassis.

• Power - 93.7 HP

• Torque - 51 lb-ft

1. Triumph Daytona Moto2 765

Speaking of Daytona, we end the list with the Moto2 765, Triumph’s last word on high-performance triples. It takes what it learned from the Daytona 675, like its sharp handling and on- and off-track capabilities, and kicks it all up to eleven. The result? Precision agility unmatched in Daytona’s history - and the perfect bike to take around England and all of Europe.

• Power - 128 HP

• Torque - 59 lb-ft
