Triumph Motorcycle has today announced it will produce a limited edition run of 765cc Daytona models for the street in the Triumph Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition, calling them “closest you can get to a genuine Moto2TM factory ride for the road.”
The new machine—the first-ever official Moto2 Dorna Sports.SL licensed motorcycle—will be limited to 765 editions for Europe and Asia, and 765 models for the U.S. and Canada.
Details on the new Triumph are sketchy at this stage, with the Hinckley, UK, manufacturer due to release the machine in a special ceremony at the upcoming British MotoGP. The chassis will be based off the British championship-winning Daytona 675 R, although final engine specification, suspension, and electronic details are yet to be confirmed.
“Reflecting Triumph’s position as the exclusive engine supplier to the Moto2 class of the FIM MotoGP World Championship, and sharing some of the key developments from the race engine program, both models (U.S/Canada and Europe/Asia) will be revealed at a special press event on Friday, August 23 at Silverstone, where full specifications and details will be revealed,” a statement from Triumph revealed. “Both bikes will also be showcased in a spectacular parade lap over the race weekend, ridden by two former motorcycle world champions.”
Price and full specifications for the Triumph Daytona Moto2 Limited Edition will be released on August 23.
