I saw one in person this past weekend at the Moto GP race and I was surprised by how much carbon they put on this motorcycle, really beautiful looking bike!
It may be that we are seeing the bike in a smaller screen but I think it’s gorgeous. I’ve always loved the Triumph brand. My second was a Cub 250 in 63. Almost a dirt bike but perfect for a 16 year old living in Guam where the limit was 45mph. I’ve always thought of Triumph as a prestige brand
They could have done so much better with the colour options on the modern triumphs. It seems they want to either matt paint things or use union jack decals. What happened to all the pretty gloss paints of yesterday?
@@mygreatbigfoot1679 My enfield was gloss painted and hand coachlined in india. Don't see why they can't give us decent colour options in thailand for three times the price!
An absolutely beautiful bike, yes a few small faults (as underneath it’s a bit confused if it’s a Street or Daytona) but I would love to have one in my garage to ride.
You're right, summer 2021 was a total write-off. Barely managed 3,000 miles, and that included those times I went to work on it. Suddenly southern Spain seems very appealing....
Great work as always, saving us the bother of going out and riding these bikes or removing them from shortlists without testing ;-). But seriously the issue with using 'stock' components feels very British Leyland to me. Remember those Marina door handles on Range Rovers!
I find it interesting that they only made this as a limited edition, it was easy for them to sell a limited run to existing Triumph owners but I guess they didn’t feel confident that they could take on the smaller engined sports bikes (V2, R6, etc) in the market full time / bigger volumes ? I used to own a street triple and changed as I wanted a faired bike, I wasn’t going to spend £15 k on the Daytona so they lost me as a customer to Ducati
As you said about the Panegali, the looks are amazing, Triumph should do an exact copy of a full current Moto2 bike, keeping that styling is a bit, lame.
I had a Daytona 675R with exhaust and map and my brother had a stock Panigale 899. The Daytona was more comfortable, slightly more agile and equally fast (dead even). Both bikes are awesome but very different flavors.
Thanks Mr Flyer, the bike looks and goes so good, I'm just a bit miffed that no faired Street Triple was provided. The Panigale really looks class but imho not too different to the Daytona Special. :>)
The Triumph is good looking but you are right that they missed a trick with the styling, the engine sound, wonderful, all in all a nice bike if a bit expensive. Then came the comparison....that Panigale is in a different league and it's clear that you enjoyed it so much more.
Yes I was getting lulled over by the Trumpet then the Panigale reminded me just how good that bike is - harder to ride but utimately for me better.....
Great advice on the Triumph Draytona, always enjoy watching your videos I remember my dad having a Triumph Bonneville T120, 1963 Reg. When I was 16. So a lovely Yamaha R1 2018 Race. I am getting into motorbike thanks to you Mr M
U need to compare with v2 i have had r1 blades sp1 blackbirds but lusted after a pani when one went past 4 years ago It scares me how quick the handling is but it is more beautiful than triumph and akra exhausts heavenly on full chat
You can adjust the angle of the TFT slightly, its a bit tricky, but the rotating mount is reachable with your right hand behind the screen. It is on mine anyway, try and fiddle with it 😊
If you're into track days it would be worth its weight, but as a road bike I don't really think it's worth the money. You could have two nice bikes for that sort of cash
i got mine this june. it was on sale 13990 canadian + doc. couldnt' be happier. people are crashing them already, they're not going to be around much longer. a panigale. looks the same as any other v2, v4.
I know iv said in the past I tried to get one but I'm now glad iv got a v2tb. Probably not when I'm ready to sell it but I tryed. Plus like you said triumph should have made it better an finished. But if they do make a new one I'll definitely have one. New daytona please triumph
What a great looking bike maybe not so much the front but i can live with that but not the price. Please Triumph build a cheaper bike like this and compete with the honda cbr 650 and maybe aprilia 660rs. Its a miss that triumph dont have a sportier bike in that segment. Hit for that market you never gonna win against ducati anyway. Thanks for a great video
That’s expensive would look better with a sharper front end different more modern headlight maybe but them front forks are to die for , even in lock down Melbourne don’t miss the English weather
Its nice but £15,765 for a 3/4 litre? That's a lot, I know there's acres of carbon but carbon isn't that special anymore. I have to agree its a bit parts bin jobby. Positives, sound, quality in the right areas. Are triumph attempting to sell a brand much like harley, classic motorcycling. I think so. Maybe they'll sell it as a lifestyle next.
Could not agree more. I love the original Daytona looks. It still looks brilliant and will be a classic. This one despite being covered in carbon looks like nothing special. I think triumph lost their design way except of their heritage range. The new speed rr front is botched as well by the chamfered edges to rather nice from fairing and oddly mounted light. It was so close to be brilliant. Superveloce quality of design it ain’t.
yes , the 899 looks smart ,, the rushed together wiring and dash on the 765 is rubbish , keep the 899 and just buy the tiger 850 at a bargain compered to the 765 ;;;
I have a flashed 899 currently, but am going Thursday to look at a slightly used 765 moto2. I can't decide whether it's worth trading in, is the power really that much less on the moto2? I know there Is more torque on our ducatis. Thanks
Spoiler Alert.. This summer was disastrous... thankfully the indian Summer (September) was way better (especially in our beautiful mountains in Switzerland). As always 👏👏
I would far rather have a non Moto2 version and save a huge amount of money over this "limited edition" version thanks. It's just not worth it. It looks old and IS old compared to even an Aprilia RS660. One of the very few Triumphs I would not rush to buy I'm afraid.
@@TheMissendenFlyer Thanks - not sure I saw all the description on my tablet - can see it all now though. Off to Gran Canaria soon and will be following your route with CMT. Just re-watched your tour video - "epic"!
Triumph are having a laugh ,for 15 grand it should be perfect & have a proper substantial seat & rear end & neater cables & such .The more carbon fibre tat I see on a motorcycle the less I want to look at it ,the material must be cheap as chips by now .Also never seen the point of an overpowered race type looking bike for public roads that have max speed limit 70 mph shared also by homicidal cage & wagon drivers . These motorcycles are expensive toys for those bikers who imagine they are some Moto GP ace or enjoy track days ,or Mr Flyer who has a passion for this genre .They are not for me ,I would require oxygen these days to ride at reckless speeds approaching 70 mph that these bikes can doubly exceed .Good honest review 👍
@@TheMissendenFlyer Yes I reckon you could say that ,although no doubt some Triumph fans will rally to the cause take pity & give one or two a home in their garages 👍
It's a lovely little bike and the cost you are complaining about probably has a lot to do with the carbon that you so like ... (wouldn't want to drop the bike too much). What I don't get is the point of Triumph indicating the bike's dry weight, I mean who rides around on a dry bike?
To be fair you bought your Ducati largely on it's looks. You admit you don't ride Ducati much because of the heat, harsh suspension and general poor ergonomics if I remember correctly Logically I would NOT expect you to pick the Triumph or most any other brand or model over the spot you have for the Ducati given you stated positives, negatives expressed and previous preferences. I could see maybe 2 or 3 people out of 10 selecting the Triumph because of it's positives. I guess it comes down to the weight the individual gives to what they prefer as much as it does to strictly objective criteria. I have noticed my selections often don't necessarily follow a strict objective criteria.
This or 9K for a five year old standard 899 Panigale? As you said, you pays your money and takes your choice but I'd buy the Ducati any day of the week -- brio wins every time, plus I'm a tight barsteward ;-)
Just looks dated Andy, also that front end is ugly. The yoke special edition number is a nice touch, my Ducati 749 R also has the same. Sadly, Ducati dropped the numbering
I've never known there been so many ugly bikes, most of the modern ones look like the plastic toys you used to get in cereal boxes. The Triumph doesn't look too bad. Lots of bikes have transformer looking front ends which look terrible . The retro bikes are a saving grace I suppose like the Kawasaki z900 and Honda Cbx 1100 etc but the 70's z900 was smarter than the new one and the old 70's cb 750 was actually faster on the top end than the current Cox 1100!
I'm not buying a triumph until this is a standard bike in the stable, and they adjust the ergonomics to match a Ducati Supersport 950S (a perfect road bike).
Apart from Triumph's modern retros, which are all IMO really good looking bkes. The triples all look as though the headlights are stuck on the front as an afterthought. They're too far in front and just look weird. The Daytona fairing is too pointy and so is the new 660 sports tourer. They seem to run out of imagination at the point where people most look at the bikes (after the tank). I don't think any of the light arrangements on the Street or Speed Triples are particularly bad, they just don't seem part of the bikes becaues they stick out too far. Very strange to me. I'd never buy any of the fast ones due to the appearance. Everything else on them appears top spec and lovely.
I’ve been trying to avoid TH-cam cos I watch it way too much.
OMG TRIUMPHS NEW DAYTONA!!!! 😍😍😍
'Limited Edition' usually means a sales pitch for an old, dated bike. A marketing ploy for the gullible.
And Triumph really do tear the arse out of this across their range.
Must be a design fault, that makes the speedometer go blurry under hard acceleration.
😂

Great review I wasn't expecting cable ties on a limited edition Triumph
I'd have the 899 is just beautiful bike 🔥
Nice editing technique on this video, Mr Flyer; flipping between on-bike footage and static commentary. It held this viewer’s attention.
Thanks Paul - somewhat harder to make but I agree the format is better….thanks for watching as ever….
Absolutely summed up the weather this year!
Like yourself I'm a fan of both Triumph and Ducati, but your 899 wins easily for me, thanks Andy.
Daytona and 899 in one video. Heavenly.
Hope you enjoyed such a special machine.
I sure did - loved my time with this beast!
Great news Andy....look forward to a film in it soon....
??
A warts and all commentary on this one Andy. I like it !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Got to say weather up north has been really good this summer ☺️. Think south has had the rain for a change
Yes we have had an awesome summer in north west Lancashire ☀️ 👍
Should have come there!! It's been pants down here....
I like your reviews, The comparison at the end was great.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for staying until the end.....
Its a beautiful thing. Nice work Mr F
An absolutely beautiful bike, yes a few small faults (as underneath it’s a bit confused if it’s a Street or Daytona) but I would love to have one in my garage to ride.
Yes, thank you to Triumph of the UK. Tell it like it is Andy. I am not a sport bike guy, but like watching them go fast.
Really like these slightly shorter and succinct videos 👌👍
Yes I agree - shorter the better....
You're right, summer 2021 was a total write-off. Barely managed 3,000 miles, and that included those times I went to work on it. Suddenly southern Spain seems very appealing....
Great work as always, saving us the bother of going out and riding these bikes or removing them from shortlists without testing ;-).

Yes exactly!

I used to own a street triple and changed as I wanted a faired bike, I wasn’t going to spend £15 k on the Daytona so they lost me as a customer to Ducati
I think the limited edition, carbon, and weight justify the price. I wanna try it.
don't knock the long cables. It means, once it has been down the road and the fairings are trashed, it can be easily converted to a street fighter
You could call it a street triple. 🤔
Just sold mine still in the crate. #49 here in the US out of 765 total for the Americas.

Really? Certainly not the sunniest or dryest round may way.....

I quite like the sound of that....
Great looking bike not a Triumph fan but must say i like this one Great review
I'd love one but not at that price . Great video
Great review, esp the 899 comparison at the end which is enlightening
Love the sound of the engine. Looks amazing but not sure about the price tag.
Jeepers, that exhaust even looks loud, old school 🔊👌
All Hail the Panigale, not just a garage queen.
Yes it is a great bike to look at, listen too and ride....(in that order)
Thanks Mr Flyer, the bike looks and goes so good, I'm just a bit miffed that no faired Street Triple was provided. The Panigale really looks class but imho not too different to the Daytona Special. :>)
They just announced a partially faired one called the speed triple RR. Concept pictures look good, remains to be seen how it turns out
…..but it’s not a Street Triple is it!
@@TheMissendenFlyerNo, not what I'm looking for unfortunately.

The sound when you twist the throttle reminds me of the tiger 1050 i used to own.
Limited? To as many as they can sell?
I live in Oregon...I recognize the weather.
Nice little vid TMF & I too would also have the middleweight Panigale over the Daytona. It's cooler & sexier imo, a bit like Ferrari vs Porsche maybe.
Yes I concur!
Before I watch the vid. It can't beat the 899 as it simply is on par with older 675 as the 765 is simply too strangled.
That’s expensive would look better with a sharper front end different more modern headlight maybe but them front forks are to die for
, even in lock down Melbourne don’t miss the English weather

Nice review man, this bike sounds suweeet like pastries!
Dam that Triumph is absolutely beautiful!
It is a lovely bike for sure....
Great review and nice bike but I'd rather have an original Trident!!
you can get a used V2 panigale for that money
No contest The Duke all day long 👍👍👍
...I tend to agree (as you may have seen)...
TMF - what brand of Goretex jacket and trousers you wear. Very smart. I don’t recognise the “R” is it Revitt?
Richa
I like Triumphs, but not this one especially at over fifteen grand! Great comparison at end. 👍😀
Thanks for sticking around to the very end Jon!
not all have too long cables to the handlebars. i suspect they had sourcing issues (from GOVDID-19) and used cables for another model

A rare thing a Triumph made in Britain.
