Triumph Daytona 765 Review

Used Buyer Review

The Daytona 765 is basically Triumph's farewell letter to the supersport class, and it's a bloody good one. That Moto2-derived triple pulls hard from 6,000rpm and absolutely screams past 10,000 — it's genuinely addictive in a way most four-cylinder rivals simply aren't. The chassis is planted without being nervous, and the Brembo brakes give you real confidence on corner entry. Used examples are starting to make serious sense financially right now. That said, go in with eyes open. Fairings are expensive and fragile — inspect every panel edge carefully because previous owners often lowsided these and had a go at gluing things back together. Check the quickshifter works cleanly in both directions; early units could be hesitant on downshifts. Also worth knowing the seat is properly awful for anything over 90 minutes, so factor in an aftermarket unit if you're not a pure track-day buyer. Parts availability is fine through Triumph dealers but not cheap, and insurance can sting younger riders hard. Get a pre-purchase inspection without question.
