Makes sense, but I wouldn’t think that oil viscosity would play a huge role in horsepower gains; I’ve done several break-ins, rebuilt some motors, etc. and haven’t noticed it like that before.

Interesting review. With respect I think maybe you're just not used to twins & more specifically parallel twins with 270 degree cranks? It can feel like you're abusing the engine & it's somewhat reluctant but that's because of the big pistons & the inertia etc. You have to embrace the vibes & use the low down & midrange grunt. Twins have a lot of engine breaking & this engine feels more like a V-twin than any other parallel twin I've come across before. It's also a very smooth one for what it is but above 8k it's not worth bothering as no hit in the power band, just more noise & vibes. QS is clunky & not the best but it does loosen up & you need to be firm & positive with it. The Daytona 660 engine is more powerful, more interesting & definitely smoother. However, I wouldn't say it pulls harder at low to mid revs but at higher rpm the 660 really takes off & is miles better. I personally love twins but totally get why you wouldn't if you have a triple as they're very different & can feel agricultural. I personally love the character of twins for road riding & you can just surf the torque with minimal gear box use. Although as you say, no right or wrong, just a matter of taste, preference & opinion.
@motomaverickusa5 ай бұрын
You’re probably right; since I don’t have much experience with the parallel twins, I did some pulls at various rev ranges to try to figure out where it wanted to be; I found the best acceleration was starting at about 4k RPM up to about 7k. Some of the lower end pulls had a bogged down feeling and just didn’t want to “go”. I feel like the triple motors can pretty much pull anywhere in the rev range, so maybe that’s just what I’m used to. I’m looking forward to riding more parallel twins, as there are a LOT offered by various brands. Hopefully I can learn more about the motor with a larger sample size, but also talk to someone who rides one daily to figure out where it’s happy. I’m enjoying riding different bikes and learning something every ride, so I appreciate your thoughts! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
@ragerider62835 ай бұрын
@@motomaverickusa No worries. You're right about the revs on the 8R, it's sweet spot is between 3-4 & 7-8. There's also a mis-conception with the twins that because they're torquey that they pull well in high gears from low revs, they don't. They labour, clatter, chug & protest due to the big pistons so you want to be in a mid gear for a good pull ideally. I'd say from 30mph - 40mph, 3rd or 4th gear is good so you're not changing up too soon & shifting by 8k. As for triples, I do like them & need to spend more time getting to know them as never owned one. I didn't used to be too interested in them tbh but I've more recently seen the light! The Triumph 765cc & Yamaha 889cc engines are amongst the best out there currently imo.

@@ragerider6283 every motor has its quirks, it’s all about getting to know your machine and how to maximize what you get out of it. The Triumph 765 is an iconic engine; check out some of the track times from Moto2 after Triumph became the sole engine provider for that class, it’s pretty impressive. Of course it’s nothing live the V4’s but that’s something else entirely. 😂

@@motomaverickusa Agreed. The 765 is an absolute peach of an engine. They sound & go so well. It's on my list for a possible next bike when the time comes for sure. I don't need 200bhp rocket ship so it'd be more than enough. I'm also keen to see what else they put that engine in too. Although, performance wise, the 660 is enough for me but ideally I'd like a higher spec chassis with more suspension adjustability & better brakes. Don't really care either way about the dash or electronics tbh.

@@ragerider6283check out the Aprilia 660’s. There’s the Tuono for more of a faired naked feel, and the RS660 for the full on sport bike. I’ve heard great things about both, but you’ll pay a premium. I’m wanting to swing a leg over these bikes soon, but I have to drive a ways to get to an Aprilia dealership.

Price isn’t just under $10k USD. It’s $9,195.

Yes, about 35 seconds in, I put that price up on the screen.

Appreciate your comments on clutch lever feel... Did not like the feeling on my Honda CB650R, too light. Love the feel of the and clutch pull of my Suzuki GSX-S1000

Never been on a S1000, but I imagine the Suzuki’s all have a similar feel; just got off a new 8R. Add an adjustable clutch lever, and I’m sure it would be golden.

It's fuel injected it just looks a little like it has carbs. It does have ABS.

Yes, I realized that after the fact. Triumph does something similar with the Bonneville line.
