In case you didn’t know, the engines that Triumph provide the Moto2 teams are all race-tuned 765cc triples, based on the Street Triple RS engine. They’ve been faffed about with to allow them to breathe a bit more freely, rev harder and deliver 17% more power compared to the production engine. But what does it mean for us? Well, if you ask me, Triumph extending their ‘Race Program’ for another three years can mean only one thing… that we’re going to see a proper Triumph sportsbike, and hopefully soon. Or is that just wishful thinking? I know they teased us with the Daytona Moto2 765, but they were only really teasing us with it, weren’t they? It was a limited edition and they all sold out within a few weeks. So come on Triumph, sort it out. Let’s have another Triumph sportsbike for the masses.In case you didn’t know, the engines that Triumph provide the Moto2 teams are all race-tuned 765cc triples, based on the Street Triple RS engine.
