Re: Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition
I imagine Triumph are tracking the forums to see how much people are prepared to pay also.
I wouldn't give them a penny more than £12k

Re: Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition
Rang Youles and they say £18-19k and they have 10 deposits put down today between their 2 stores and reckons it will be sold out by the end of this week.
He said the Rocket TFC sold out in 3 days and people are now offering over book price to get hold of one.

Re: Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition
Honda didn't sell a Moto2 special because they already had the cbr600rr and that was selling pretty well.
Until now there wasn't a Daytona 765

Re: Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition
I kinda figure if Honda were to sell a Moto2 mid-middleweight (or whatever you want to call it) bike it would just take away from either their 600 or 1000 sales. What does Honda sell per year...15 or 20 million bikes?? - Some insane numbers.
They'd be selling the horse to buy a saddle.

What I mean is hats off to Triumph for such a good marketing department and capitalising on their moto2 involvement

Re: Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition
It's going have to be very special imo as 18.5k buys alot of motorcycle.

Re: Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition
It's a collector's item. I don't think Triumph are worried about the price of a used production bike. They know it'll still regardless because their buyers aren't Fast Bike readers buying the latest jap missile to win this week's group test ride.

Re: Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition
I get that but if I was looking to shell 18k I would be looking at the whole market and what my 18k could get me.
Granted plenty of Triumph fans and collectors will jump in, but imo for people wanting the pinnacle of sportsbikes to own they will always look at the competition too, so it has to be very good is all imms saying.

Re: Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition
Dont get me wrong it's going to be awesome and will sell out I'm sure and yes I do want one, but and it's a big but, do I want to put my Daytona 675 and 14k in, No
Just my opinion and if it was more like 14k I may think differently.

Re: Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition
The person who buys special edition bikes isn't always buying for the reasons you and I would.
I suspect they will end up as collectors items in the main.
I don't think I have ever seen an RCV road bike other than at a show.

Re: Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition
Totally get what you and Kwacky are saying Duke and I agree.
My comments are solely based around my opinion and decision to buy or not.

Re: Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition
The moto2 test mule was a 765 engine in a Daytona chassis with the same brakes and suspension as on my 5k Daytona.
To me its going to be a great bike but not worth 14k to upgrade for me in my position. Collectors will love it but as a rider and not a collector it just hasn't got the value in it for me.

Re: Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition
An MV F3 RC is about £15k , so an extra £3k for moto2 heritage and branding and the opportunity to own a bit of British biking history doesn't seem too bad to me , I don't think it has to prove itself to be significantly better than its opposition in order to justify the price

We really don't know what they're offering other than a new Daytona with a 765cc engine. It might have ISR or Beringer custom master cylinders, discs, calipers etc with carbon wheels, Harris rearsets, and specially designed tyres. The body work could be carbon. You might get a free day at a suspension specialist, your own tracker for lap times. Or it could be an old 675 Daytona.

Re: Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition
Fair shout kwacky good point
Maybe if they did tell us what it is exactly I would be tempted, but I have a feeling by time they do, they will all be sold

Re: Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition
The rocket and thruxton limited editions went in no time. Nice paint jobs and some bling is all it takes for some people.
I guess the Daytona buyers know they'll be able to sell their bikes if they don't like them.

Re: Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition
I wonder what kind of deal Triumph had to strike with Dorna in order to get the moto2 branding , that may well be a factor in the pricing .

Triumph seem very shrewd I suspect they made it part of their deal to Dorna to supply engines and Dorna owe Triumph
