Triumph 765 Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition

[Kwacky]

Not for a bin part special, no

[Blade]

So mines got up in value by nature of being pre parts bin special

[Kwacky]

Triumph are buying old 675s to convert them into 765s. I reckon you'll get about £10k for yours.

[Blade]

Haha, I just spat my drink out in laughter

Awesome

Due to be sen at Silverstone tomorrow for the first time. Think Hickman is doing a few laps on it.

[Blade]

Today's the day. But nothing released yet.

[D41]

Reg/rec maybe???

[Blade]

Launch is tonight according to Triumph’s twitter feed.

[Blade]

I did read the other day it was scheduled for 730pm but assumed that was a typo as strange time to launch a bike at a motogp event. I.e. after everyone has left and the tv coverage finished for the day but maybe it was correct.

[Blade]

If you had a deposit on one it would be like Christmas day and only being allowed to see your presents at 730pm

[Kwacky]

I think it's later so people with invites can get in after work and can get in w/o having to buy a day pass for the MotoGP.

[Blade]

I've never been this interested in a parts bin special before

[duke63]

I’m reckoning it will be something special. I’m not convinced there will be a road bike included in the range as a result.

[Blade]

£15,765

Looks too much like the bastard child of a Daytona 675 and the old zx6r with that colour scheme

[Blade]

I'm going to say it, my initial reaction is disappointment I did have a little wobble and thought about getting one briefly but tbh at the moment I'm really glad I didnt.

Doesn't look different or anymore special than the outgoing 675R and it's going to have to ride amazingly to justify that price tag imo, as you can get a mint low mile 675r for half that money and there wont be much difference in power if there quoting 130bhp.

Hope I'm very wrong as I wanted this to be special and joking aside it's a parts bin special. Hope the press is kinder than me as Triumph deserve this to be a success.

[duke63]

Mmmmm. IT doesn't grab me particularly. And only 6bhp more then mine and the same torque.

The components on the bike are high spec for the price but I was expecting more of a change in looks. I'll reserve judgement til I see it in Sunday.
