I was at Cadwell in (2012 I think) & I passed a Repsol CBR on the inside of Chris' curve. He was clearly "impressed", and stuck to me out of Cris's 2 & Goosneck.

Re: Daytona 765
I think i would struggle to bend enough to fit on one now.
I do remember how extreme they felt when i test rode one. Very similar to my 748 at the time.

Re: Daytona 765
I've never come across a bike on circuit and been mega impressed by it. I did see an 1199s go for it down the straights when my group was waiting and that was impressive... pissed past every other bike out on circuit

Succinctly put Duke, that was my memory as well. I fell in love sat on it for less than 10sec at the NEC, the order went in next day. Still love it now.duke63 wrote:I do remember how extreme they felt when i test rode one.

Don't believe it does really Kwacky, except that every time your old Repsol CBR is brought up my memory takes me back to that moment.Kwacky wrote:....... I'm not sure how it relates to my post

Re: Daytona 765
Ah ok.
To be clear I was talking about my Daytona 600. It was tricked up. The cbr600rr came later on.

Re: Daytona 765
Used to think that keeping as fit as possible would still enable me to do everything I wanted to do. Now realise that regardless of how fit you keep yourself, you cannot prevent the ageing process, only slow it down a bit.D6Nutz wrote:duke63 wrote:I think i would struggle to bend enough to fit on one now.

Re: Daytona 765
Wouldn't it be nice to see Triumph go down the Mercedes / AMG route...
You have your regular Daytona 765 then your "AMG" 765 with all the trick bits for the people who want it. If they do it right they'll be able to attract the big price tag similar to how AMG's are approx. 170% more expensive than a standard Mercedes

That's a great idea....you should be in marketing.

Re: Daytona 765
It seems the Custom Shop is Triumph's own take on this.
I don't think they will be making a 765 Daytona in any great numbers.
The 675 was a poor seller in the end.

Re: Daytona 765
I agree Duke. I think it will be a low volume special marketed as a TCS limited edition and quite possibly a track only bike I've heard.

Re: Daytona 765
You want them to open a whole tuning division?? For a few hundred bikes...maybe a thousand??
Do you have any examples of bikes, rather than cars?? Ducati, maybe?
