More big Triumph Daytona rumours again...

Good question there. Kawasaki could claim homage to the triples of years gone by.

Yammy ran 4 stroke triples too in the 80's so they could make some.


Nice sounding motors that's for sure.

Yep, the Japanese have been there and done that eh..

No, as it would effectively be an overweight 955i!

Nasty! But true actually Albeit so much better looking overweight 955i Don't tell 86 I said that though..

Triumph's marketing has been very clever upto now by not competing directly in the toughest classes.

But now expectations are high and they may start to lose out on sales because of the long wait.

Apparently it won't be a 1050, but a new engine instead?

Yeah I read somewhere that the 1050 is'nt that great or able to extract the hp, approx 180 out of like the equivalent Jap litres.
Thats according to Triumph engineers.
But I imagine someone in the world would of dispelled that.

The other thing I heard was that the 675 unit can safely move the red line up by 4k AND that's therefore the engine to base the new unit upon.

A Triumph Daytona 875 wouldn't be a surprise.

Last time I spoke to anyone senior from the factory they were keen to stick to 'niche' configurations.

That was before a few years of success with the 675 though.

You can cover a dog in cat stickers, but it will always be a dog!

He'll see it I'm sure!
