Japanese declare Triumph makes the perfect motorcycle (http://www.motorcycletrader.co.nz/View/Article/Japanese-declare-Triumph-makes-the-perfect-motorcycle/850.aspx)
Japanese magazine Motorcyclist has awarded the Daytona 675 its first ever perfect score in its regular feature ‘Ride with Edge’
Previous, Stop, Play, Next, ZoomRide with Edge has been a monthly feature since January 2001, producing a comprehensive evaluation on a set road route and race track, as well as bench testing the bikes for power and torque. Each month the magazine tests one of the world’s leading performance bikes, but never before has a motorcycle received a perfect 100 out of 100 – until the Daytona 675 appeared in the current issue.
World-class racer Kei Nashimoto who tested the bike said: “The Daytona 675 provides a riding pleasure that cannot be felt in other bikes. The specifications are class-leading and the Daytona 675 has great potential for racing too. The Triumph is king of the middleweight sports bikes.”
The 2009 Triumph Daytona 675 has won plenty of praise recently, including the supersport category at the annual Supertest event, which the Daytona 675 has won every year since its introduction. British weekly newspaper MCN even declared the Daytona 675 as its sportsbike of the year, ahead of even the latest 1000cc superbikes.
Daytonas have also been tearing up the race track in the Supersport World Championship. Last year Daytona 675s won two of the world’s most competitive domestic supersport championships, in Germany and the UK, and earlier this month Australian legend Garry McCoy scored a podium placing at the Supersport World Championship round at Donington Park, in just the company’s second season of world championship competition.
