"We took advantage of the refined styling of the DAYTONA 660 and created a machine worthy of the name of a racer. We have officially tied up with "Ace Cafe", which is familiar to Triumph users, to elevate it to a cafe racer machine that is one of a kind in the world. The body paint is a special paint using special techniques by Nishimura Coat Grizzly. It is a finish that is different from normal orders and is a masterpiece. It is a machine that will attract viewers on the circuit and on the street, and is one of our pride and joys. In terms of equipment, it enhances the racing performance while also providing comfort on the street. In order to achieve a high level of balance between design and performance, we used GALE SPEED parts that are used in top races around the world, including the All Japan Road Race. The brake calipers, radial mount master cylinder, clutch holder, etc. have been replaced with the optimal lineup, improving performance while blending in with the style of the DAYTONA 660. In addition, we chose Sunstar 5mm discs from Kunimi Commerce for the brake discs. The specially designed inner rotor features a striking red floating pin, and when combined with the GALE SPEED caliper, the braking power has been improved. In addition, the bike has been detailed down to the last detail, with Baby Face rearsets, Magical Racing carbon mirrors, and a carbon leather custom seat. While inheriting the image of modern Triumph and the DAYTONA 675R, the racer design has been elevated. This is a one-of-a-kind motorcycle that will captivate anyone who sees it. While inheriting the image of modern Triumph and the DAYTONA 675R, we have officially tied up with AceCafe. The racer design has been elevated to create a bike that is full of appeal that will delight anyone who sees it.

Coming in second with 253 votes was the "DAYTONA 660 GP Carbon" made by Triumph Saitama Minami.
"Based on the themes of racing style x luxury x power, we aimed to create a DAYTONA 660 that would attract people's attention not only when it is in motion, but also when it is parked. The use of carbon sheet on the exterior creates a sense of luxury. The gold lines are designed to make the Daytona style stand out from any angle. The fuel tank is decorated with the Union Jack, as is typical of British cars. The carbon wing attached to the front is an original production. The specially designed box-shaped wing is a press type with carbon fitted to the underside as well. It creates a powerful look around the front. Around the rear, the pillion seat was replaced with an optional seat cowl. By installing a fenderless kit and removing the pillion footpeg, the seat cowl becomes slimmer and gives the impression of a raised racer. The volume around the rear was a little lacking, so an original carbon inner fender was made and installed. It is longer and wider than the standard model, which makes the carbon stand out. The presence of the fender balances the overall look. Other features included are carbon fork guards (original production), wheel decals, optional rear turn signals, aftermarket front LED turn signals (compliant with vehicle inspections), billet levers, racing hooks, etc."

Coming in third with 104 votes was the "Enjoy DAYTONA 660" made by Triumph Fukuoka.
"For this customization, we focused on both operability and design. The brakes are equipped with Nissin radial masters to improve braking power and controllability. In addition, by combining them with BREMBO Super Sport floating discs (5.5mm), we have achieved stable braking performance. The exhaust system is equipped with an SC Project full exhaust, which not only reduces weight but also adds a powerful sound. The suspension is equipped with a BABY FACE performance step kit, which increases the freedom of riding position. The exterior is custom painted, and the carbon headlight cover enhances the sporty impression. In addition, the front turn signals have been relocated and smoothed to create a more refined front view. Bar end mirrors and lever guards are installed around the handlebars to improve operability and safety. A fenderless kit is installed around the rear to create a sleek silhouette. In addition, the single seat cowl and seat processing enable sporty and comfortable riding."
