• New Daytona Moto2TM 765 Limited Edition
• Highest ever power and torque from its new Moto2TM-derived 765cc triple engine
• Highest ever specification and rider technology
• Precision-perfect, championship-winning chassis
• First ever official Moto2TM Dorna Sports.SL licenced motorcycle
• Limited run of individually numbered motorcycles, with only 765 for Europe
and Asia, and 765 for the US and Canada.

The new Daytona Moto2TM 765 Limited Edition will represent both the highest specification of the British racing legend, and a unique partnership with the FIM MotoGPTM World Championship.

Triumph will launch two versions of the eagerly-anticipated new Daytona on 23rd August, one for Europe and Asia, and one for the US and Canada. Both will feature a new Moto2TM derived 765cc triple engine inside a championship-winning sports-focused chassis, delivering the highest power and torque ever from a production 765cc, plus the highest specification of equipment ever, and a limited edition race paint scheme.

Reflecting Triumph’s position as the exclusive engine supplier to the Moto2TM class of the FIM MotoGPTM World Championship, and sharing some of the key developments from the race engine programme, both models will be revealed at a special press event on Friday 23rd August at Silverstone, where full specifications and details will be revealed. Both bikes will also be showcased in a spectacular parade lap over the race weekend, ridden by two former motorcycle world champions.

This will have a vehicle manufacture of Dorna and NOT Triumph by the way this reads... like Team Schirmer make "BMW" M3 24HR race cars for the road and have Team Schirmer as the manfucature.

If this is the case then you aren't looking at a price tag under £20k !!!

I didn't see that bit.

Hmmmm. I hope it looks better than it sounds.

It does look smart in the real world.

[Kwacky]

No mention of a price. I take it you're allowed to put a deposit down and get 100% back if you don't want to go ahead with it once the price is announced.

[C00kiemonster]

Email from French dealer states estimated as 18 to 20 thousand euros, so £16k plus.

2 to 3 allocations per dealer

[Blade]

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

You get out the corner 3 mph quicker due to superior torque of the triple and you carry that advantage all the way down the straight.

Everyone says the Desmosedici is a straight line missile but reality is its about 3-5mph quicker than the Honda. Margins are small.

[duke63]

It is quite surprising how much difference a few mph makes. Often when the car is on cruise control, the difference 2mph makes in passing a car on the motorway is quite enlightening

[Blade]

I play that game too Duke

Makes you realise what a 3-5mph top speed advantage means in reality. No wonder the Desmo can drive past others with ease.

It's not going to be cheap is it. I imagine demand will still be high though.

[Jack]

I imagine they will all be sold before the first one is manufactured , I can see there being no allocation left by the end of next week .

Anyone want to buy an MV F3 and an Adventure Sport?

Anyone want to buy an MV F3 and an Adventure Sport?

Would you seriously go for one Kwacky?

Must admit I'm tempted but throwing 17 large at something you dont even know the spec of makes me wobble.

Also if these sell well which they will I can see, Triumph launching a lower spec model for sale at a much reduced price.

[C00kiemonster]

The way i see it is this:

Triumph only make 765 of them - worth more in 10 years time (if you dont ride it much)
Triumph make 765 of them and then decide to put it into bigger production - not worth the outlay.

I suspect Triumph will make more of them, so i'm out.

[Blade]

Buying one and not using it much would be a crime

[Kwacky]

I am interested but not enough to be drawn into putting down a deposit for a bike I've not seen*








*I realise I've bought bikes blind before but they were existing models

[Blade]

Exactly how I see it mate

[Kwacky]

£1,000 is the required deposit.

[Blade]

£1,000 is the required deposit.

Is it refundable if your not happy with the spec and final price?

[Kwacky]

Is it refundable if your not happy with the spec and final price?

I'm told that you sell your place in the queue for the bike!

[Blade]

Clever move by Triumph see how many people commit before the price is released and then based on how much demand set the price afterwards.

Genius sales and marketing by Triumph you never saw the big H cash in on the use of their cbr6 engine in moto2
