2021 TRIUMPH DAYTONA MOTO2 765 LIMITED EDITION
RIDE REVIEW
P74
T
he supersport segment is morphing
into one that properly represents what's
going on in the market. The 600cc fours
are as good as dead, and the new machines
coming in, such as the Ducati Panigale V2 or
the Triumph Daytona Moto2 765 Limited Edi-
tion, will make up supersport grids in years to
come. And it can't happen soon enough.
That's my first thought as I rip up Ortega
Highway in Southern California on the only
American press unit of the 2021 Triumph Day-
tona Moto2 765 Limited Edition. At $17,500
MSRP, this is the first motorcycle to be li-
censed by MotoGP commercial rights holders
Dorna and limited to 765 units for the North
American market (including Canada), along
with 765 units for the rest of the world.
Weighing a measured 409 pounds with a full
tank of gas, the 765 is a visually stunning ma-
chine, one that has a lure to it you simply can-
not deny. There's carbon fiber everywhere—
seat unit, fairing, front and rear wheel guards,
even in the cockpit where the woven black
material covers the back of the light assembly,
flanking either side of the TFT dash.
