2005 – 2006 TRIUMPH DAYTONA 650
WORDS: JON URRY IMAGES: FB ARCHIVE
To many, Fast Bikes included, there’s a certain quirky charm to Triumph’s often overlooked inline four Daytona models. These bikes not only helped the British manufacturer recover some supersport credibility after the débâcle that was the firm’s first effort, the TT600, but these machines also broke Triumph’s TT drought, took a British supersport race win, made the Japanese sit up and pay attention and even tempted a future king to part with his cash – now there’s a seal of approval. That’s not bad going at all when you think about it.
