The new Daytona Moto2™ 765 Limited Edition will represent both the highest specification of the British racing legend, and a unique partnership with the FIM MotoGP™ 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 Moto2™ 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.

Both bikes will also be showcased in a spectacular parade lap over the race weekend, ridden by two former motorcycle world champions.

This new limited edition Daytona delivers the closest you can get to a genuine Moto2™ factory ride for the road.

With a limited run of only 765 being built of each model (Europe/Asia & US/Canada), each one individually numbered, Triumph are anticipating strong demand for this truly unique motorcycle.
