Triumph Daytona Returns! - But is it a REAL Daytona??
Рет қаралды 22,179
Күн бұрынTriumph have answered our prayers and are bringing us a brand new Triumph Daytona!!! But hang on though, this is based on the dumbed down 660 triple platform not the raucous 765 from the Street Triple? Is this the REAL thing??? Stay tuned to find out!

I guess Triumph could do what they do with the Speed Twin . Now they have the 1200 released in 2019 , and the street twin is now a Speed Twin 900. i.e. they could release a Daytona 765 , call this one the Daytona 660. The Speed Triple RR, with fairing and drop handle bars could be called a Daytona 1200 ! Mind you this could end up a bit like Kawasaki calling lots of their bikes a ninja !!!! I am sort of with you, the Daytona name should have been reserved to a top spec middle weight sports bike.

If TRIUMPH is going to do this, why not use the their capital to build a large bore 1255cc Daytona .. using the bones of th Speed Trip 1200, new nose, fairngs . offer a ton of accessories .. how hard could it be. The diff bewteen the Daytona 955 fairied and Speed Triple 1050 are simple brackets to attach fairings.. Triumph builds enough beginner bikes.. they should have offered a fairinbg kit for the Trident and called it a day....poor investment..

From all the reviews I've read so far this has been well received, congratulations to Triumph on this and the price point too. Given Triumph's expansion into a newer segment, I was chatting to a friend in the industry & asked if they thought Triumph might deliver us a brother for the Tiger 660 with a 1200 engine and maybe with a fairing for touring. He thought not as the Tiger 900/1200 delivered for the touring segment, but these are adventure bikes surely not sports tourers? Surely the sports touring market is larger than sports bikes? Is it not an open goal therefore to develop a 1200 Sprint and challenge the success enjoyed by Ninja z1000sx and Suzuki gsx-s1000? It won't appeal to young riders and older riders are a declining population - yet look at the popularity in Kawasaki & Suzuki tourers!

Proof will be in the pudding when reviewers get a go on them, but I feel like it's in a bit of a tight spot when there's the street triple and the 2000s Daytonas still knocking around for very cheap on the used market. Realistically I'm probably just biased by the fact I used to fantasize about the olde bike when I was in secondry school, and still do, and this isn't that. :)

Mid range sportsbikes died in the UK years ago. I remember people complaining about Suzuki dropping the GSXR600, I think they sold about 13 bikes in the UK the previous year! The same for the ZXR6. They are probably better bikes for the road than the 1000cc sportsbikes, (personally I find small 4cyl bikes pretty gutless with all the power in the wrong place for the road) but in the UK macho bragging rights still rule, so big bike outsell smaller bikes.

I'm considering a middleweight sports bike in a year or so. The Suzuki GSX-8R doesn't look bad, but nowhere near as good as this and it's gonna have a buzzy parallel twin, not as much power as this bike. The Honda CBR650R looks great as well, but that four cylinder needs to be revved to the moon to get the power and it's somewhat heavy in its class. This feels like the ideal child of the class from looks, price, power, characteristics, and approachability. Really looking forward to seeing them in the U.S.!

Eh, I do not like this at all. Less HP & power than the 675 Street Triple R that I am used to (and the long lamented Daytona 675 R at over 120BHP, meaning this 660 is a huge drop in performance). Doesn't look like a proper Daytona. Your comment on it being a "real world Daytona" is something I disagree with. Sports bikes aren't meant to be comfy or "real world". They're meant to be fun, hooligan weapons with screeching exhaust/engine notes that make you question whether sex is all it's cracked up to be (crude but it gets my point across, hah!) Were I in the market, I'd much prefer the returning Honda CBR 600 RR. Undertail exhaust, 120BHP at an insane 14,000RPM and looks that make me feel gooey inside. All that being said, fab video as always Mr TMF! Hope you get a go of one!

Add to that the orgasmic induction howl and it feels like you've got an old school V10 F1 car engine. The 675R motor was a work of art.

I love the looks. Curious how the gearbox is setup can you really use that engine with good RPM drops between gears. Look forward to your ride review !

As for the design of it, to me its a bit safe looking, like the other bikes in this new style. Its just, kind of nice really, nothing to stop me and want to look closer. Its no Monjuic or Darmah that`s for sure. The best of road bikes is behind us now, so this looks like the future. Not sure if I like NICE bikes...

I love that manufacturers are trying to bring sportbikes back (so to speak), making them friendlier, affordable and more practical. This sort of bike, however, is not what I personally look for in a sportbike. Give me a ZX-6R or a CBR600R any day of the week...

Aprilia RSS660, other than the 43 pound (18 Kg) handicap. Would certainly be on the very short list. As long as it handles well- I'm sure it does- it would shake off the Trident start point!

Let’s wait and see if the sound is as good as a Rob North Triple from the 70’s. The ones I rode on track were magnificent. Be it they were replicas and this was in the 80’s.
@TheMissendenFlyer 7 ай бұрын
Yes I imagine these are going to sound pretty good - all the Triumph triples do and if they have paid attention to the airbox as they seemed to say they have then it should be a nice wail.....

Not the game changer Triumph promised but they will sell loads at this price and im sure it will make a fantastic road bike that you can actually use every day. Would like to try one.

Styling wise it looks fantastic, so why did Triumph only have one headlight working on dipped beam, it looks like the light on the other side has blown, surely more lights on during the day is safer and would look more complete. Hope your shoulder is on the mend.

Looks interesting, bit small for me but wifey loves her sports bikes. She has a 765 street triple now and I think this would be top of the list for a replacement. But yet another bike with only one dipped headlight working!! Hate that. All the best and hope the shoulder is recovering well.

Looks like a standout machine in the category, I own a Tuono 660 Factory edition and it’s been brilliant, but the price premium over this Daytona is considerable. The Daytona at this price point gives hope to an eventual Tiger Sport 660 receiving comparable power plant attention and electronics including the addition of cruise control; that done, and I’m sold.. I’m just not interested in Triumph’s “adventure” format 800/900 Tiger machines. Though on most fronts they meet the criteria for a lighter sport touring application, the “GS” patterned “look” and 19” front wheels are a bore, and the ridiculous amount of space given up to the exhaust can in lieu of a full sized pannier on both sides of the machine really cuts into travel worthy functionality. Get your finger out of it Triumph.

I don't like the artificial plastic panels which are there to give an impression of a aluminium delta box type frame. The steel frame of the trident hides behind this. They should have been more imaginative and used the original trident frame as a feature. Not hide it with plastic panels. If they did that then it would have lighten the bike by a kg at least. Most probably made it cheaper. The Trident feul tank I think would have been a better shape than the street tripple tank. I like the radial mounted disk brakes at the front though. As for me I will keep to the Trident
