2020 TRIUMPH DAYTONA MOTO2 765

Surely one of the most eagerly anticipated bikes of 2020 has to be Triumph’s Moto2 765. Ever since the Hinckley lot got the Moto2 contract we’ve been crying out for a street legal, 765 powered Moto2 machine, and we’ve finally got one. With a chassis from the old 675R Daytona, and a claimed 128bhp from the 765 Street Triple derived motor, this little puppy was always going to be a weapon.

I say “Street Triple derived” but there are plenty of differences inside the lump, like titanium valves, higher compression pistons, longer duration cams etcetera, etcetera, that mean you can have a higher revving, harder pulling engine that, with its taller gearbox ratios, is just downright faster.

Before you even think about climbing aboard the Trumpet, it’s crystal clear that this is one special motorbike, with its full carbon fibre fairing setup and trick-as-you-like Öhlins suspension. It is a true thing of beauty.
