Triumph’s ground breaking Daytona 675 continues its award collecting route as it scoops both the Supertest and Masterbike awards for the second year running. This is a true testament to the motorcycle as the 2007 bike remains unchanged since its launch in 2006, yet still it saw off all the competition. The last week in March saw the Daytona 675 maintain the Supertest crown as King of Supersport bikes. The Supertest competition, held at the Almeria track in Spain, was judged by 15 journalists from publications all around the globe. The competition runs back-to-back tests for sports bikes from all the major motorcycle manufacturers. The Triumph Daytona 675 stormed into the top place in the engine flexibility, throttle response, chassis handling, chassis brakes, equipment and price categories, making it the overall winner for the second year on the run.
