675 cleans up supersport comparo

Triumph's Daytona 675 has become the first motorcycle to win the prestigious Supertest trophy three years in a row.

The British-built three-cylinder machine saw off competition from its Supersport-class rivals at the Almeria circuit in southern Spain.

Supertest is an annual event organised by 15 motorcycle magazines from around the world with representation from Europe, Asia and the Americas.

Each publication sends a test rider to the circuit, with each bike being scored on its best lap times and rider feedback.

"Winning the title three years in a row is quite an achievement," commented Triumph's Commercial Director Tue Mantoni. "Our bike has proven itself against two generations of Japanese competition and is a great testament to our design and engineering teams."

And so much prettier in the winning...when compared to the butt ugly competitors. (And I mean that in the most complementary of terms.

)

It won again!

I thought Honda had finally caught up, although Hondas are about as ugly as an old crab in a tank.
