TRIUMPH 675 DAYTONA

[sneakypete]

now i know we all basically would cheer ourselves hoarse for any Kwaka racer/bike, but i'm afraid i will be jumping ship for one class in the ASC this year in supersport/superstock class.

the new Triumph Daytona 675 triple.
it has received approval to race in the supersport series normally dominated by 4 cylinder 600cc machines, and i reckon it can give 'em a run
CHECK IT OUT AT: http://www.triumph675.net/pic/Triumph%2 ... ple%20675/

i have to say that i absolutely love this bike, and love the fact that it produces comparable HP to 4 cylinder machines, but it has more torque.
in the right hands i think it could really put some of the 600cc machines in their place.

looks like i have to speak to the financial controller and get permission to put a deposit on one.... hello superstock!!!

yea..and it doesnt look half bad either!!

i love the speed triple...if it wasnt for the fact theres no1 here to look after it (i hate peter stevens)...id think abt one...

[hidepenny]

it shares so much similarity with the 05 zx6r, i still prefer it to be green

read the review in Two Wheels magazine this afternoon... They reckon its really very good and that one shouldnt let the lack of certain trick bits (such as a slipper clutch) keep you away from the bike. Also, they are looking to get it accepted into the supersport class as its a tripple, much the same way as the 749 is allowed to race.

Yep nice one Triumph

I also think they've ripped off a ZX6, oh well imitation is flattery and all that Jazz.

Only thing I don't really like are the front indicators, they'd look better in either the mirrors or integrated with the bodywork (aka ZX10R).

Now all they need to do is replace that dinosaur of a Daytona 955i with a 1100 triple in a similar vein and they'll be sorted.

Good luck with racing it.

Defiantely a tidy looking machine.

It's just not a Kawasaki.

[hoffy]

Petty tidy, and good power and torque figures for a little un'.

[SocialSecurity]

Nice

wonder if being a 3 cylinder will transfer to real world advantages in traction...


but then, are I4 600 super sport race bikes all that slippery on the track?

[ninja9]

I'd give it room in the garage - after the 06 ZX10 & ZZR14.

[HemiDuty]

Yeah I like the thing. However I do think it will take some time to be competitive in supersport/stock.

[Plaz]

Nice bike, but that grey colour messes with my head.....like looking at a black and white pic but with coloured bits....lol

[Barrabob]

Well the forks and brakes look like the same kyb jobbies off the 04 zx6r supose that would save the factory a few bucks rake trail numbers look the same as a 03/04 6r as well and i see it comes with a adjustable swing arm pivot which came with the 6rr, the engine being a triple obviously is a triumph unit and lookes to have a bit of extra tourqe which is also a good thing......do they come in green?? maybe not but would still be a nice thing dont know what parts for them would be like maybe you whould have to wait for the boat.

Lets see how similar it is when painted green....

I think they have taken some styling from various different bikes... Including the CBR600RR....

But yes, I see a bit of 03/04 and a bit of 05 in there awell...
