Guess who’s back, back again, lalis back, tell a friend

Interesting review, thanks for posting! I watched the Japanese lady reviewer (Ruriko 675) who posted a video a few days ago from the same test on the same bike at the same media event. Her review was in line with what you say. It's comforting to know that your review was a "Measured" look at this new bike and you experience was properly representative. 👍🏍👍. BTW You were a LOT easier to understand as my Japanese is very limited! 🤣🤣.

I love how they have different riding modes. An experienced rider might stay in one mode majority of the time, but for a new rider, the more tame modes would be great while they get comfortable with the bike/riding altogether. I feel like this helps those who want a bike to grow into since it's a throttle that won't constantly punish them during a learning period. Definitely still a bike to be respected, but I really like that more manufacturers are adding multiple riding modes. Gorgeous scenery. Thanks for sharing Lali! :D

The best first impressions video on the Daytona 660 I've watched. Plenty of info, and comparable opinions. Well done.

It’s a pretty cool bike. I’m glad we live in a world where fun sport bike style motorcycles are available and affordable.

Wooh another Lali vid! 💯 To my opinion if you have discipline and the other perks you mentioned you can start on any bike, modes or no modes. If you have self control and want to learn to ride proper, you'll ease into any power level of a motorcycle and adapt to it while growing with the bike. But to people who don't have that obviously don't get a bigger bike. EU's licensing system is a solid system but for one who has the discipline it's a hassle as well I can imagine. Area looked awesome, seemed awesome to ride. Really looking forward to nicer weather with more sun as well.

Thank you very much for your review on this beautiful Triumph Daytona 660 . A long time ago in the 80’s I went from a Honda 450 Hawk to a Ninja 600 in 1986 I was 19 years old and my height is 5’6. Never felt at ease on the Ninja and now that I watch your video I’m going back to riding bike 38 years after . I rode horses but I guess it doesn’t count 😜

I still got the OG 675, and its crazy to see what a different bike this new daytona is, in my opinion they should not have used the same name. That said i do think this new one is a fantastic beginner one, and you will not be exhausted after a 50 min commute like with the 675.

A new video from Lali is like when you get together with a good friend you havent seen in a while. You get a bit nervous that it may feel awkward. Then you're together for 30 seconds and all is right with the world. Lol. Great vid! Would love to see you do ancomparison between this and the Aprilia RS660.

finally someone who let me hear the sound of the bike while riding been searching for that for 3 weeksnow xD thy keep up the good work

Missed you Lali!

So glad I found your channel! I’m 5’2. Your videos have been so helpful, I’ll be taking the riding course this summer! Much love 💕

Great video! Always wonder how much beautiful weather and gorgeous surroundings affect bike reviews!!😊

Triumph build great bikes, i've had a few over the years from from Daytona 955i to 1050 Speed Triple and last summer i borrowed the Trident 660 and damn that was a smiles per miles bike! I even asked her if she wanted to trade it for my ZH2 Ninja, i never the ZH2 but damn the Trident is a fun bike, and i can imagine the new Daytona is just as good. Which make me think perhaps i should trade my ZH 2 for a Speed Triple 1200 RR 🤔 Anyway brilliant video as always 👍

You can't really compare the Daytona 660 to a 600cc sport bike, because it isn't one. It's better comparable to a Ninja 650, CBR 650 R, GSX-8R or R7 in terms of performance. All of these bikes have about two thirds the power of a 'true' 600 and are less track focused since they share many components, including engine, frame and suspension with a corresponding naked bike. So basically they're all just versions of their respective naked bike but with fairings and a slightly more tucked riding position. And the Daytona 660 is perfect for a beginner rider in Europe, where I suspect this bike's key market will be. As a beginner rider in Europe you have either the restricted A2 license, like you said, or started out on a full A license if you're 24 or older. Most countries in Europe have far more intense training than the US in order to acquire a motorcycle license and you have to do your training on a bike that fits the class of license you're doing. So most of the new riders on a class A license have done their training on a bike similar to the Daytona 660 in terms of performance.

Miss my 675. I ride for pleasure now I am retired. Don’t need comfy. Great review. Thanks.

5:05 duuude! this was exactly my experience with the gsxr750 - the pegs were directly in line with where my legswould be when standing feet down at the lights so i am basically stradling the pegs as well haha

this popped up on my feed because big-brother is listening and do be knowing this my dream bike. . . .. awesome video. . ....!

The segment is looking really impressive, with the entry of Daytona 660, GSX 8R, and Ninja 650. That inline triple engine sound just is music to years. Hope we could have these machines easily accessible in my country. Great video. Liked the casual approach to review, and not like other videos where people scream over their lungs.

Lali nice to see you content again

Good seeing you again Lali. Great review.

As a cruiser rider here in Texas, this is super neat! Looks beautiful there and that's an awesome bike. Great video!

Very nice, congrats on getting to do this! Exhaust note is cool, that's one of the things I love most about my Daytona (a 955, aftermarket exhaust, a modified Arrow system from Wilcox Engines in the UK, they helped Triumph develop the motor).

Loving my Street Triple… Triumph just knows what they’re doing. And as a 5’2” female, it’s still comfortable for me as far as height goes. I live in your area Lali, if you want to test it out!! 🏍️

I think the peg positioning is one of the bigger gripes I currently have with my MT-07. I've learned to avoid them at stops, but makes it so awkward to move forward or backward while sitting on it. Have to really waddle your legs wide to avoid the pegs.

The exaust sound difference between r7 and the triumph is engine layout. Bigger pistons and one less.

Gotta love the more upright style bikes. So much nicer to our bodies. Had my first ride of the year today. 62° in western Pa. Hope ya got to take advantage of it too!

Definitely a road bike, not a track bike, great engine, good value for the money. I have a trident 660, which is a great little scratcher, i like nakeds, so, am kinda hoping they put this engine and brakes into a series two trident, that would be ideal. Thanks for the video

I don't think a beginner will 'just keep it in rain mode' somehow😂 plus yeah this is a 650 class bike which is typically under 80hp, a 600 class 'sportbike' is usually well over 100hp my 600 is 130hp and definitely not a beginner bike

I swear you just passed me in my lorry on a silver Suzuki 8R on the A1 roundabout M25. You have a lookalike out there!

Nice work, and excellent perspective. Agree regarding the front end looks, but i think its a great lil Moto and i bet there wll be an RS version at some point with better suspension etc

you're right about this being a higher frequency sounding engine than the R7; this is 3 cylinders firing evenly, so it'll have a tone of 3/2*RPM, while the R7's uneven 2 cylinders make the frequency you hear more like 1/2*RPM

Ladies and gentlemen, the incomparable Lali is back in the house!

Awesome!! Didn’t expect you to do one on this bike but so glad you did! I’m selling my ‘22 R7 for this bike for all the reasons you mentioned

Great information as always!

I started out on an RS660. I left it in low power mode for the first few months. No problems. I slowly turned the power up, and modded the bike. I have no regrets. Then after a year I bought something........a little bigger

great Review Bike looks amazing and your info was so helpful. My 09 FZ6r is still running great but wow thinking abut the Triumph. Thanks Lali

Foarte tare journey-ul! Am ales totusi R7 vs 660 pt ca arata mai bine, imo si este foarte foarte light. :) Drumuri faine!

Even though I'm a beginner rider (35 finally able to afford and got ome this year) i always believe you should just get the bike you want 😊. You just have to have a good mindset. No matter if its a 250 or 1000, if you can control yourself, respect the power, and stay calm you should be fine. My bike is a 2024 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT (hoping to get a 2024 Suzuki Katana if I can find one!), and its such a smooth ride! I don't really have the experience to give advice, but if you are one of those people that just want to rev up and gun, you probably should stick to a lower cc bike.

they did the daytona name dirty with this sports tourer

one of your best vids, thanks!!

Very good review, your recommendations on using rain mode is interesting, new riders, especially younger guys would need some discipline and resist peer pressure from more experienced riders. I know I used to be one….But at least now they the option to vary throttle response.

Nice Video Lali! really love your video quality

Great video Lali !!

as a beginner that just bought one, I found that rain mode made it hard to use the clutch with the reduced bottom end I found myself stalling a lot

Triumph is always triumph..no disappointment

Super nice review. Maybe I'll have the chance to go for a test ride myself or on something similar, like the triumph tiger 660, I'd love to see how it feels and handles.

Seems like a good 600 starter bike. Seems a lot tamer than the typical inline 4, more of a sports touring bike. It’s a good looking bike.

As a hot headed 21 yo guy I’m buying this bike

This is great, I was looking into getting this as my next bike. Think I'm pretty close to my decision

Good review, thanks Lali. 👍

For motorheads, the word "clunky" or "clunkier" means you're talking about an old piece of junk. The difference between a triple and a twin is varied. Twins have about 5 different sounds and feels, depending on engine configuration. They produce throbbing and pulsing, a thudding feel/sound, it's part of the nature of a twin and it's endearing and fun, it produces a coarse beefy torque at low revs. A lot of people love that. Triple and fours are even-firing and produce power that is quite smooth (closely placed engine pulses) in torque delivery. The higher the cylinder count, the smoother the engine feels. Smooth engines can feel disconnected and dull to some people. Other people prefer it. Neither configuration is "better", it's just different.

I preordered the Daytona 660 with the shorter seat I'm 5'6 with a 31inch inseam on a good day lol I can't wait to get on it

Good review! Seems like the CBR650R, comfy enough but sporty enough

This bike kinda reminds me of the Ninja 650 (do they still make those). It wasn't a 600 supersport. Was sporty looking, but a little more upright in riding position and tuned down a bit. Not so twitchy. Definitely more suitable for a beginner than the ZX6. This seems to be Triumph's comparable bike in size and target audience. Seems like a good bike. The thing about a bike in that displacement range over starting on a 250, 300 or 400 is you're way less likely to feel like you want to upgrade to more power after a year of riding. 600+ will work for you for years.

good content glad your back more often

Haven't yet read all the comments, but I can't be the only rider who gets Ninja 650 vibes from the new Daytona.

Thanks

Missed you Lali!!!

I loved my 07 r6 road it from nebraska to Arkansas it was hell but great at the same time

oh dat, engine and exhaust sound of daytona ❤

Thanks Lali, great video. I would love to see you test ride the Aprilia RS660 and compare the Daytona 660.

I always advise a cheap used dirt bike for a zero experience rider so they can get seat time in the dirt B4 going in the street.

In some Countries in Europe they cut the Power way back for beginner riders and riders under 21 years old.. I think they call it A-2 or something. They don't have all of those restrictions in the USA.

Great video as usual❤

I'm thinking about upgrading from a ninja 400 to a dayotna 660. Can't wait to get a look at them when they start popping up at dealers.

Lali-Pop, its time for you to Host a MotoSTREAM.! That 660 Triple is a DREAM BIKE for Me.! 🏍😜

Hey Lali, I am watching your biography in "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" Btw, I started on an 800, and I don't think it was ever scarier than what any lower cc bike would be. At speed, any cc can get scary really fast. That said, I totally agree with what you said: nowadays bikes are mostly pretty manageable with all the electronic configurations and whatnot. Great vid. Keep it up.

I think most beginners who would be buying a 600 sport bike don’t fall into the bracket of “I’m gonna put and keep this in rain mode” that selling point is lost on me! Either you trust the rider to manage their impulses or you don’t, modes aren’t the answer, mentality and education is!

Great video! I kinda like the dated look of the front. But the tail on the back has to go.

idk it seems similar to a ninja 650, or Kawasaki z650, cause that bike would seem to be much slower than a 600 cc, mainly because of the seating position, i still dont recommend 600 cc bikes to any beginner, but this bike seems dope and very tame with the throttle, i have been riding awhile, but then went a long time without riding so i bought an mt 03, i should have bought something bigger, but i still love my mt 03, still plenty of power on highway

New subscriber here! Thanks for the great helpful video!

Lali your so Kool Great videos with style 👍😊

Thought you were in UK just for a sec when I saw the uk registration plates.

Love the bike!

Yay the MT07 girl is back! 🎉

Is love random or are we chosen?! After riding an R7 I can’t seem to get over the experience. Daytona looks like a winner. Cheers

Great review

Honestly these are not the traditional 600cc sportbikes these modern bikes are twin cylinders sit more upright more torque less power... man i miss the og 600cc sportbikes

Very good quality vids 👍✨💯

Thank you!!! Best review for this bike I've seen.

Im buying one tomorrow! going from an R6 to this im curious to see how much of a power loss it is

❤ It's great video... you are so happy ❤

Hey Lali! Greetings from 🇷🇴 😊 Really loved the video 🙂 but I’m just curious, how does your back feels after riding it? Keep up the good work 💪and Asfalt Uscat😊

Not short, perfectly petite

I've been a Kawi boy my whole life. What is this "clicking quietly into 1st gear" that you speak of???

Honda cbr650r vs triumph Daytona 660 which one is better??

Did you ever exceed the 60km/h? From the videos it makes me feel like you didn't go past 100km/h? Would be interested about your feels in the 100+ range. Skipped a stop sign at 9min 😬🤫 Thanks for the review, enjoyed watching you ride again 🤠

Have anyone noticed, she looks like Daughter of Damon Fryer from Daily Driven Exotics, Presley, a lot grown up version

nice Video Lali... we have too many rules & rider hoops to jump thru' in UK, unlike you guys across the pond jumping on any bike from the get go.

great content and informative.. drive safe.....

15cc from greatness

31.9 inch --> 81cm / 5'4" --> 165cm / 32.9 inch --> 83.6 cm / 31.9 inch --> 81cm / 30km/h --> 18.6mph / 40km/h --> 24.8mph / 50km/h --> 30mph / 60km/h --> 37mph / 70km/h --> 43.5mph

Wow and I thought the FZ-07 MT-07 Shifter was buttery smooth .. I guess you never rode say a 1971 Honda SL-125? I put a bored and stroked 160 CC Honda SL-125 Motor in a 1977 Honda CR-125 frame .. it's a fun trail bike with a seat a lot lower than a modern Motocross bike has.. If you want to see something that has Clunky shifting Try any Air Cooled Harley Davidson.. I wonder if you Clutch is not out of Adjustment on your MT-07 I tired Warning Doodle through Comments that she was slipping her clutch like Crazy on Triumph Street Triple every time she upshifted.. Finally it got so bad that he clutch started slipping when her hand was not on the clutch lever and she had to take it to a mechanic to get it adjusted before she fried her clutch..

How was the comfort level riding for that long? Looking to get this bike just want something sporty and comfortable

I have a street triple 675

When is this bike supposed to release? I’m about to pick up the street triple rs

Comparing the engine sounds, the R7 is more thuddy while the Triumph is more whirly precision machine like.😅

What about someone like me where this is my second bike (coming from an SV650)? Am I going to find it much of a likeness or is that extra HP and torque going to make it just a bit more of a zesty ride? Looking to move away from nakeds to something with plastics.

do you like the sound of the 3 cylinder? does it look more like a screamer (4 cylinder) or is it more deep like a 2 cylinder?
