Triumph Expands Racing Partners Program, Includes 2016 Daytona 675R

Triumph Motorcycles America is expanding the Racing Partners Purchase Program to now include model year 2016 Daytona 675Rs, now available for purchase at a reduced price for participation in any national amateur or professionally sanctioned race series.

The Triumph Daytona 675R, with its powerful triple motor, is the ultimate showroom to track motorcycle. The Öhlins TTX rear suspension and NIX30 fork cartridges, paired with Brembo Monobloc calipers and a Triumph quick-shifter standard, create a bike that’s ready to take on the fiercest competition on the track with minimal changes needed.

The expanded Racing Partners Purchase Program will now offer model year 2016 Daytona 675Rs for $10,750. With the purchase of a motorcycle through this program, Triumph parts will be offered at special pricing of 50% off retail.

Triumph’s Performance Bonus Fund will still be available to the top performing Triumph riders. Racers accepted into the Triumph Racing Partners Purchase Program and competing in MotoAmerica or any Amateur National Series will be eligible to receive the following contingency bonus:

MotoAmerica – 1st = $10,000 / 2nd = $3,000 / 3rd = $1,500

Amateur National Series – 1st = $125 / 2nd = $75 / 3rd = $50

Pole Position – $1,000

Race Start – $400

With the purchase of a Triumph Daytona 675R through this program, competitors will also be eligible to ‘Race for Free’. Racers competing in any Amateur National Road Racing series will receive reimbursement of their race entries during the 2016 season.

As a stipulation of the expanded program, a purchase of a Triumph Daytona 675R will be required for acceptance. To be considered, please send a racing resume to [email protected]. The application period for this program will end September 30, 2016.
