its the Daytona 675

123 hp (crank) @12,2000 rpm 363 lbs (dry) http://www.motorcycledaily.com/091305daytona675%20top.jpg One of the most eagerly awaited bikes of 2006, the triple-cylinder Daytona 675 Triple in one single stroke redefines just how a middleweight sports bike should perform, packing as it does a large amount of power and torque into a small, nimble package. The first three-cylinder middleweight, the Daytona 675 stands apart immediately with its inimitable, spine-tingling sound and feel. Integral to this is the triple’s inherent advantage of masses of bottom-end torque, linked to a heavy mid-range punch that’s topped with a searing burst of peak power. The strong, torquey three-cylinder, 12-valve unit is extremely compact and narrow, contributing to the overall slimness of the bike, and features a stacked, close ratio, six-speed gearbox, Keihin closed-loop fuel-injection system and a free-flowing exhaust with an underseat silencer. Designed around the Daytona 675’s engine the spars of the fabricated, open-back, aluminium cast frame wrap over the top of the motor, accentuating further the benefits of the narrow three-cylinder design. The USD front forks and piggy-back rear are fully adjustable for spring preload and rebound and compression damping. The front brakes use a radial master cylinder as well as twin radial four-piston calipers, while the new wheels are a lightweight five-spoke design. With the Daytona 675 Triumph aimed to create an exciting bike that owners will never tire of owning and, above all else, riding. It sits within a class of one, delivering an incredible performance with its exciting, powerful engine and intuitive, razor-sharp chassis. It also looks and sounds like nothing else. All quite deliberate and driven by a single, solitary word that underpinned the whole concept; ‘incomparable’. Not many motorcycles are genuinely mould-breaking but the Daytona 675 Triple is definitely one of them.

That is :drool: and maybe the best looking Triumph I've ever seen! :dthumb:

I look down on triumph a little. Their parts are hard to find in OEM and aftermarket and they are very expensive once you do find them. Also after riding gtowntt 's TT600 it wasn't all that and I smoked it with my SV. This bike does look sweet, and I've always liked the style of the Daytona series.

Triumph isnt near the size of the japanese so parts are hard to come by fo sho. triumph dealers are even harder to come by. But the TT600 was a F4 copy in everything but the maping. Triumph has returned to what they do best..... TRIPLES!!!!!! last i checked, Triumph did demo rides so i will try em out. I think i saw a pic of one in black, i'll look around some more.

:drool: I want one

Looks great! :dthumb: Pitty they have to up the capacity to 675 to stay in touch with the Jap 4's - but if it goes as good as it looks ..... ****... who cares!!!?? Anyone know what the retail will be on one of these?? (AUD)

Anyone know what the retail will be on one of these?? (AUD) To compete in the same class, different engine configs get diffrent rules. Like the ducati 749 always mixing it up with pure 600's. Triumph is following the rules and may have found something. i havent found any retail yet (not even on UK boards) but im sure its out there.

Taking on r6 stylings.

Not bad for a Triumph. :dthumb:

Very kick ass bike indeed. Damn I love Triumphs, I have said before if the deal I was gonna get on a speed triple wouldn't have been so crappy then I would be on that instead of my VTR.. Here is another good write up for it, along with some more pics: http://www.cyclenews.com/ShowStory.asp?HeadlineID=8260

I'm with ya Pickle... the speed triples do ROCK!

:dthumb: I think they have step up their game this bike looks really good, I mean really good :drool:

I still don't get the whole three cylinder thing, but to each his own. At least it looks sharp!!! :dthumb:

That sounds almost too good to be true. I guess we'll see.... At the local Triumph dealer, the shop owner and his girlfriend are both buying 675. The owner's been in the bike biz for over 30 yrs. including service & prod. dev. @ Am. Honda, 1st Triumph Rep opening up dealers in 9 western states and Gen. Mgr. of Race Tech. He's an industry Vet, so if he's BUYING one, that tells me something... Another bud of mine is offing his Tiger for a 675. I'm hoping to get a test ride on at least one of 'em! For Triumph's sake, I hope that the 675 is a hit!

There's alot of weight in those stock exhausts...

There's alot of weight in those stock exhausts... Hell yeah! I don't know about dropping 20 pounds though.

:drool: I LOVE that bike. If I had the jack I'd buy one immediately...that is if they were in stock. :cheers: Here's to hoping for a test ride. :moped:

I have been thinking of trading in my speed tripple for one of these.

Triumph still do dealer test rides as policy?

Triumph still do dealer test rides as policy? Last I heard they do.

I read that the daytona 675 out performed all the Jap 600's. But it was in a mag so you never know. Either way.....I think its an awsome bike and its good to see another sport bike out there that's not a Jap.

I have heard great things about this bike but one thing I havent heard is that it OUTperformed the japs. On par with them I've heard though.

Yeah it was in cycle world or some mag like that. The new R6 came in second. I bet it would give that thing a run for the money any day.

I believe a few different mags have now said that it's giving the jap 600's a run for there money. It's cool that it can race with them too because it's got three cylinders. If I where to get a new bike, it would probably be the graphite colored 675.

I'm hearing all good things about the 675.

wow, that bike looks amazing. I have heard so many good things about it. I've seen some on ebay for around 6800, but I am not sure what they retail at. The only downside maybe that parts are hard to find.

What tires are those? Pirelli? Must be brand new. Yeah Pirelli. That was at the Triumph tent.

My bike looks better.

That's just beautiful. If nothing else, you'll have the fact that its different than anything else out there.

Different isn't always the best route to go.

That's just beautiful. If nothing else, you'll have the fact that its different than anything else out there. :iagree: I'd love to have one but it wouldn't be my only sportbike.

I'm sticking with the jap bikes. I test drove the 05 Daytona in Laconia last yr and was not impressed. I seem to recall CW raving about that one as well.

If I was going to buy a 600 sized sportbike... that would be near the top if not the top of my list!
