Triumph Daytona 675

I happened to see one at a bike shop yesterday.. Sweet looking bike.
Does anyone here know anything about these bikes or anyone happen to ride one?

 

I had the privelage of riding my uncles 675. The motor has loads of character (the good kind) and loves to be revved out. The standout feature is the handleing. Think exacto knife, yeah it's that good! The ergro's are on the racy side, but for what the bike is built for, they are perfectly acceptable. To sum it up, if I had the budget to have my Viffer and another bike, it would be a 675, wouldn't want anything else!

Good Luck,
Adam

 

Oh baby!
Now you are talking MY language! (I started a thread on this recently...just use the Search function or perhaps some nice tech-saavy user will post the link.)
It is just like AtomAnt describes...like riding a scalpel. So light, so slender, so powerful. Gobs of torque and fun in any gear. It is alot more sporty in the rider position. Your butt is up in the air. It handles like a dream. What a tremendous SOUND from this beast...even better than the VIFFER in my opinion. Gets GREAT reviews. IMHO it is the perfect second bike to a VFR when one wants something more sporty.
I am still hoping to make it happen so stay tuned...I'll review it if I can sell a kidney or something.

 

Obviously I haven't ridden one yet, I'm 6'1" and am a little concerned with the riding position.. I will never sell my VFR, so like you, I'm looking for a fun second bike..
I guess the thing that I like about it is the same as the VFR.. Not everyone has one!! I just can't picture me on a GSXR or CBR. I'm a little too old I think. hahaha

 

You might check out triumphrat.net. I ride with a few people who have Daytonas, and I, too, would love to have one as a second bike. Unfortunately, I'm retired and $$$ preclude a second ride as of now. Ride safe.

 

Yes, a bike you won't see everywhere. And it is a looker...very attractive styling. I am just a 1/2" under 6 feet and the bike felt fine to me. I believe one tester for a magazine was 6' 2" and felt it was fine. It has some great attributes of a twin and some of a in-line 4...it is the perfect in-between with three cylinders. The sound of that engine and the punch is something you need to experience. Waaaaaay fun. :thumbsup:

 

I'm 6'1" too and the 675 is a racy ride fo sho!

Great bike, not a great commuter all the time IMO.

This is blasphemy……..you better wash your mouth out!

 

I can taste that Ivory soap now!

(They are both amazing sounds...quite different...BOTH are wonderful...
how's that?)
