Triumph 765?

I see that Triumph are increasing the Street Triple displacement from 675cc to 765cc for 2018. Anyone know if the Daytona will see a similar bump?

The Street Triple RS is really speaking to me as a street/track day/novice coaching tool. Lots of upgrades on that one.

 

There won't be a Daytona anymore, 2017 is the last year they are offering it.

 

This appears to be the case. Although a Daytona 765R would be SICK!

Maybe the 765cc engine from the Street Triple will fit in the Daytona?

 

Probably easier just to put Daytona fairings on the Streety.

Well sh!t, I hadn't heard that.

 

I was hoping they would punch it out to match the MV and create a Daytona 800R.

Love the power delivery, light weight, etc of the 675 and the Triple motor. I've always thought a Daytona 800R would be like the perfect bike.

That is why I keep thinking about going with an MVF3 800. But parts/data/etc is essentially non-existent for them.

 

will Triumph make any more sportbikes?

 

Nope. They are out of the Sportsbike segment for now.

 

*clears throat*

As the owner of a Street Triple and on my second track-only Daytona, I can say with conviction that the Street Triple is undoubtedly a sport bike. It's naked, but it's sporty as fuck and isn't much slower around a track than a Daytona.

 

when you measure your lap times in hours instead of minutes and seconds, I guess yeah, they'll be around the same time

 

Yep. Lots of guys on the Triumph forum have matched their Daytona lap times on their track prepped Street Triple.

 

i cant imagine they will stay out of the sportbike segment given that they are supplying the new Moto2 engine.

i guess we just gotta wait and see.

 

Having your new engine in Moto2 actually seems like a good move to support the brand. Sport bikes are not the same as the Moto2 bikes, but you get to promote that your engine is what powers it.

 

Make one.

 

Fixed.

 

Nothing a set of Carillo Rods can't fix

Not holding my breath, but umm yeah that'd be pretty sweet. Give it current electronics, and put some trail in the OEM triples and let her rip. ( I guess the "B" classes and HWT )

 

There just going to burn threw a lot of cash for the Moto 2 engines and build no street bikes !! First they need to be reliable as the Honda moto2 engines give them a few years to get that right . Let’s start a pole to see who can guess the number of engine failures during the 1st race and every race after that and the total all year !!!
