Moto 2: Twitter reacts to Triumph 765 engine

Triumph officially unveiled the final version of the engine which will be used to power a grid of Moto2 bikes in 2019 at their Factory Visitor Experience in Hickley last week, before inviting a lucky few to ride the machine at Silverstone’s Stowe Circuit on Monday August 28.

With a long line of ex-racers, journalists and celebrities all queuing up to have a go, we thought we’d bring you a round-up of what everyone is saying about the prototype on social media.

I’ve always loved Suzuki’s GSXR 750 so I jumped at the chance of a proper good thrash on the new Triumph 765 (moto2) today. It was properly set up, good brakes, suspension & Dunlop moto2 slicks.
It is nothing short of brilliant.

We’ve just spent the afternoon riding this: the @UKTriumph Moto2 test bike. The fuelling, the power, the drive it gives is very impressive. It would make a great production bike… pic.twitter.com/SfmQsfZeOZ
