International motorcycle of the year 2006
When 15 of the world’s leading motorcycle publications vote a motorcycle the finest new bike of the year by an outstanding margin the maker must be doing something right.
The Triumph Daytona 675 was crowned 2006 International Bike of the Year with 26 votes - more than double the 11 scored by the second-placed Yamaha R6.
Six magazines – Motorcycle News (Australia), Motorwereld (Belgium) Cycle Canada, Kicxstart (Holland), Moto Motorcycle (Russia) and Cycle World (USA) each awarded the Triumph 675 Daytona the maximum three votes in the recent International Bike of the Year competition and 10 of the 15 magazines involved in the judging each gave the Triumph triple at least one vote.
The 675 Daytona has won Bike of the Year awards in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Greece, the Netherlands, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland and the United States.
- Hinckley’s middleweight sportster also recently came out top of the Supersport class in the annual Masterbike Shootout in Spain where motorcycle journalists compared the world’s finest sportbikes on the racetrack, scoring 27 votes against the seven picked up by the second-placed Suzuki GSX-R750.
