The 2007 Daytona 675 had little change from the previous year. Triumph introduced a new Jet Black colour into the range (often confused with the Daytona 675 SE 2008 model) and a Masterbike Edition which was exclusive to the UK market. The 2007 model was available for sale in the UK September 2007 (57 plate).

With the success of the 2006 model Triumph introduced a Race Kit designed for the racer and track day enthusiast.

Developed in-house and in collaboration with Paul Young Racing, the parts have been designed to give significant improvements in performance for race purposes. This results in the class-leading Daytona 675 being competitive on the racetrack at the highest level.

The race parts include a range of engine internals, such as revised cams, valve springs and valves, which are complemented by a new engine management unit and wiring harness, specifically designed with racing in mind. Also included is a transmission set, race air filter, a slipper clutch and many other track-focused parts.

Glowing press reports, global race victories and serious comparison test triumphs have all added to the ‘must have’ appeal of this truly outstanding motorcycle. Triumph is so proud of the Daytona 675’s achievements that it seems only fair to do something to celebrate.

One of the most prestigious achievements made was the winning of the Masterbike Supersport title for two years running and to commemorate this Triumph produced a Masterbike Limited Edition version of their ground-breaking Daytona 675. Available exclusively in the UK from September 2007 onwards, only 100 of these machines were available to purchase from Triumph dealerships.

The Graphite 675 comes complete with Masterbike ‘Supersport Winner 2006 & 2007’ decals, a certificate of authentication and free carbon fibre accessories, including an exhaust heat shield, front mudguard and hugger, heel guard, chain guard and cockpit infills. The bike was priced at £7,349 OTR.
