Bike of the day: Martin Jessopp’s Triumph Daytona 675R Race
Get your hands on some road racing heritage
TODAY’S bike of the day is none other than Martin Jessopp's North West 200 race winning Triumph Daytona 675R.

What we think:
‘This is a deliciously kitted out bike, with everything you need to make your mark on track. With a price tag of almost £20,000, it’s arguably at the expensive end of the track bike spectrum, but if you have the money then it’s a great investment. Or, if you’re looking for a ready-made race bike then here’s your chance.
‘If you were to buy the bike and kit it out yourself, you’ll end up spending a lot more!
‘While it’s only covered 535 miles, you don’t need to worry about it having been run in – Jessop’s NW200 race win is testament to that!’
