Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition

[Blade]

If its north of 15k it will have to be very very special as the street RS is 10.3k and that is well spec'd. If they just add Ohlins forks and a fairing then they cant justify more than 12k imo.

[Kwacky]

Unless it's a proper race engine? Not all of the extras have to be visible.

[Blade]

Even the moto2 bikes aren't proper race engines. There a mildly tuned street triple.

Apparently Triumph offered more power as they said they were making 135bhp reliably with little effort. Dorna declined as they didnt want moto2 bikes getting to close to full factory prototype GP race bike lap times.

[Kwacky]

My point still stands. If the bike is more than a street triple in a dress then they can afford to call a premium price.

The Street Triple RS is brilliant as is. It won’t take much to make it exceptional, imho.

Corrected for you

I don't think someone looking to buy this Daytona Moto-2 is going to be motivated by price/saving money, etc.
They're going to buy this, or a similar priced Ducati, Aprilia...something like that. Something with a bit of exclusivity....which to my way of thinking is one of it's biggest selling points.

[duke63]

Very much so. I can’t wait til I can use all the Revs. I don’t stick strictly to the Rev limit but it pays to be sensible.

It is without doubt the best handling bike I have ever ridden.

[D6]

What rev limit?

[Cav]

There is not a chance in hell Moto2 bikes are only making 135bhp. You're talking about 150-170bhp to achieve the speeds they're reaching.

A 765RS ST gets over 135bhp with exhaust and tune

[Blade]

Just what I read Cav and what Triumph officially claim.

Speaking to MCN, Steve Sargent, Triumph’s Chief Product Officer revealed, “We needed to get more power and torque and this was done by increasing the revs and reducing inertia. A standard 765 makes 123 bhp (in the Street Triple RS) and we’re pushing this to 135 bhp and about 80 Nm.”

I'm not disputing you mate.. I just don't believe Triumph. I imagine they aren't lying about the road bike if that's the claimed road bike power and torque but that definitely isn't Moto2 power

[Kwacky]

The old CBR600rr Moto2 engines didn't make much, only about 125bhp. 135-140 bhp from a 765cc triple sounds about right

[Cav]

My assumptions about the Moto2 bike come from my knowledge of the current crop of 600s:

Daytona 675 - 130-135bhp with standard mods + tune
R6 & ZX6R - typicaly 125bhp with standard mods + tune
765RS - 135bhp with standard mods + tune

World Supersport ZX6Rs make 145bhp and they're slower than the triples in a straight line which makes me think 150bhp.

The Moto2 bikes are a LOT quicker than the WSS triples so to have 140bhp is just a plain and simple lie. If they have less than 160bhp I would be very surprised but I can understand a conservative 150bhp + mega torque

[Jack]

what about the weight ? Are moto2 bikes not lighter with better brakes and slick tyres whereas WSS use treaded tyres are considerably heavier and have less effective brakes . The moto2 bikes are quicker through the corner and accelerate better because of their low weight and they also brake later this all plays into their top speed down any given straight .

Good points Jack I also imagine the straight line speed of the triple could be down to A, more torque than an il4 600cc bike, letting it accelerating harder out of the corner, so therefore reaching a high speed at the end of the street as the advantage is carried on and B, the triple being slimmer and therefore better aerodynamics on a lighter bike.

[Kwacky]

And Moto2 riders being quicker

[Blade]

In fairness Cav, did start his statement with the word "assumption"

Weight plays a part but unsprung mass is going to be very similar - ultimately acceleration isn't going to be miles apart. I don't know about deceleration though so that is definitely a factor to consider
