2017 Yamaha R6 vs Triumph Daytona 675R | Track Day SMACKDOWN!

[@ArkansaDave1]

When passing you want to consider the trajectory of the person you are passing and how your trajectory will line up with them. On most of your outside passes you are doing it on the apex where both of your trajectories come together at the edge of the track. Instead try turning in a little later, squaring off the corner diving up the inside on corner exit. Then your trajectories are going away from each other. Conversely if you try passing on corner entry you need to either get it done early or pass on the outside. An inside pass late on corner entry will have you both fighting for the apex and your trajectories will intersect.

[@ApeRiderr]

Awesome comment, good constructive criticism while remaining polite

[@izaizkandar]

Thanks man!!

[@Obee270]

Only 5 mins in and I can tell you're far more comfortable on your 675 than any of your liter bikes! Keep putting in work ib you're getting a lot better!

[@vaguewaffleman]

Triumph all day long for me. More power, more torque, and it revs higher. The breaks probably feel better as the bike is newer and the system fresher.

[@BlackMaleASMR]

The Yamaha revs higher, but you're right about everything else.

[@mtwk3240]

Just turn off the abs on the triumph, then she brakes better. In contrast to the R6, the Daytona has Brembo Monoblocks which are one of the best brakes you can get. Im sure if he renew the brakefluid, it would change the game ☝

[@edsonm7180]

Oh don't crash into a Porsche now

[@zollieh]

Edson M that took longer to find than expected

[@warlock111395]

Perfect video at the perfect time! I am trying to decide between the R6 and the 675R right now, there weren't any good videos comparing the two, and your video came up the day before i decided on the bike. Even though you recommended the R6 as the better track weapon, I have decided on the 675R as my daily rider and weekend track day bike. I am upgrading from a Honda CBR500R. Thanks for the great video, keep up the awesome work.

[@e_skie2685]

warlock111395 I did the same, so happy that upgraded. ib has great videos so I can see why r6 has the potential. but the torque on the 675 makes more round for every day use.

[@Octane_Karnige]

Wow. That was a spectacular track day. Probably one of the few videos on the net where I could see the differences between the R6 and the 675R. Both are amazing machines and are even better with you on them. Loved the video brother. Cheers! 😊

[@razzgreez3526]

Loving the daytona sound so much, Love the channel as well :) keep it up

[@elvisgonzalez7YT]

I hope you keep the R6 and get it all modded up

[@JohnBrookes6128]

I finally bought a Triumph Daytona 675 2016 model after having the 1st generation 675 2006 model also a Suzuki Gsxr 750 in between and can say my new Triumph is by far the best motorcycle I have ridden out of all 3. Here's to happy miles with smiles 🏍️🏍️ all thanks to your videos 650ib. Keep up the good fun with these videos 🏍️🏍️

[@650ib]

I'm glad you ❤️ your 675R John 💯

[@bchant19]

just 1 tip for you Ib try not to get on the gas until you can see the exit of the corner. It seems like especially on the r6 you're too eager to get on the throttle and keep giving a bit then backing off and giving and backing off then after you get the bike turned and are at the apex you apply the correct amount of throttle to make the exit. This upsets the bike's chassis and can make it unstable. Try using a bit more corner speed going in and flow the bike around the bend rather than using a litre bike style of getting it stopped hard, turn in and blast out of the apex squaring the corners off. I know it must be hard seen as most of your bikes are 200 hp litre bikes and require to be ridden that way but you will gain time by being smoother and more flowing on the 600cc bikes (i.e go wide on entry and carry the speed around the bends more, then smoothly apply the power progressively until you reach full throttle.)

[@650ib]

bchant19 Thanks so much for the advice! I will try it next month at our track day.

[@timpeeters1147]

650ib you have nice motocyles im a dutch person so my engelis is really bad

[@bchant19]

you'll knock some serious time off your laps for sure.

[@teamcs2741]

I can't stand when people type so much I try to read it but damn

[@bchant19]

Motovloggers got no life don't read it then buddy if you haven't got time

[@TimHPop776]

I really appreciate the info on exhaust and flash upgrades for the 2017 R6.I did slot of that on the Harley's I owned over the years and it just makes all the difference. Thank you!

[@Prophet86]

Good ride 650ib but everytime you downshift a mechanic in Japan dies. Get that throttle blipping like savage mate! You'll feel the difference! ;-)

[@SMU_3L]

Love these trackday videos :D You're a pretty damn good rider on track aswell as laying down the smackdowns on the highway ;)

[@yamaBLUE]

LOVE the channel, the material you share is unlike any I have seen. Keep it up 650ib

[@96t5wagon]

ib...I must say that i love seeing the track day videos just as much if not more than the street smackith downs. great job!

[@armydog1002]

You should think about turning one of those bikes into a dedicated track bike. I dig your channel, and would like to see more of your R1M, or your Ducati.

[@LockieNZ]

"Wow, looks great.... Looks really good....." You still talking about the paint? ;)

[@obsessionfraque2626]

You are fucking pervert elxoahhajahahahaha

[@Boomboom-ox9hn]

650Ib...If you like the way the all new R6 or Triumphs 675R for the way they ride on track....You then need to try out Suzuki's cheap GSX-R 750, the 2004/2005 or 2011 model for the track, I'd recommend to you also, you try out Yamaha's YZF R7 but at $23,994 "Starting Price" with them now being very collectable bikes. You'd be lucky to see one, let alone ride one,......But definitely would recommend to you, Suzuki's GSX -R750 for its nimbleness, power to weight ratio, renowned track manners....making it a real steal "cheap" to be owned/used as a track bike weapon. Great vid btw!.....ride safe!

[@Dabkilla]

heck yea.. awsome vid ib! so glad to weren't scared of spooking that dude again! and you put that smack down on em!! love track day videos !!!

[@EnjoyTheRideMC]

I was going to say something a little different, kind of opposite actually of what someone else said. I was going to say to start adding throttle earlier, but turn the throttle more slowly and continuously through the turn(don't ask for power all at once, like you are doing all over the place in the video). As soon as your bike's lean angle is set for the corner, that's your moment to start turning the throttle. Give up a little bit of speed on the entry so you are not scaring yourself by charging in too fast. Cuz everything after that is just a helmet fire of confusion and a mess of reactions to survive the corner. You are using a bunch of energy, and you're going slower to boot. The track is coming at you, rather than you riding the track. The old proverb holds true, "Go Slow to Go Fast." because going slow, means you are smooth, and smooth is safe, and a side effect of all that is... you guessed it.... you are also fast. So again, You'll be smoother and more settled, and also faster through the corner and exit, meaning you'll also have a higher speed on the straights as a result too. 1 final tip, if you are going through a bumpy section and it is effecting your throttle input, try might try to get some stability by resting your index finger on your brake lever. Its a lot harder for bumps to jerk your throttle input around that way. Not everyone does it, but its helped me over the years. Listen to that lady's bike as she rides... she's not jumping on and off the throttle nearly as much, and she just drives away from you through the corner exit and beyond. Its not about the horsepower when the road isn't a long straight. Love track days too. Nobody ever just arrives, its a lifetime of learning to ride better. Enjoy the journey! Remember, its a track day, not a race day, as we all have to go to work in the morning. We are responsible for the safety of the person in front of us, especially if we are setting up to pass them. ETR

[@650ib]

EnjoyTheRideNH Thank you for the amazing advice. I will try it out on the next track day.

[@EnjoyTheRideMC]

Sweet bro! Can't wait to see more track videos! Looks like you've got great opportunities to ride a lot of the newer machines. Totally cool!

[@erikaingr7599]

3:50 had him in your crosshairs, but then shot a blank...hahaha !

[@2m173]

Good comparison! You can see the different characteristics of the two bikes while you're riding. I'm issuing an official challenge for your R6 vs my Daytona at an upcoming track day soon.

[@XxDiogoxX100]

Much better riding than those past trackdays.. if anything I would point out it would be early upshifts sometimes and rough downshifts

[@nirjyotigogoi5532]

DiogoStar that is why he is in the track and you're watching his videos cause you know better shifting than him sir. 🙏

[@chrisp.5272]

Getting an FZ6 for the street, and an R6 for the track. Still love my tuned 47HP R3 on the street, and can’t wait to rip around the track on it. My buddies have clapped out 600’s and always talk about how fast they are, only in the straights, I keep up with em on an R3 in the corners.

[@erikaingr7599]

10:33 MAX WRIST moment...hahaha 😆

[@jorjorbinks89]

Got'em Got'em ... WHOOAA!

[@terrorbear7]

"You're lucky, I'll teach you a lesson for buzzing me" This dude is cringe.

[@mikej5337]

god i love that 3 cylinder sound.

[@r6mt09]

Dude the bike does not make you fast. YOU make YOU and the bike fast. Glad to see you in the track where your money should be spent instead of bikes. Ride safe always

[@Sugarfoot19]

Ib, that's the most people I have ever seen you pass on the track you are definitely getting better, as usual great vid!

[@JosipMesic]

Nice to finally meet you, we will be back to Mid-Ohio again this year a few times keep in touch.

[@to-yg1tx]

Was curious if you guys would be there Sunday but only saw Bob. Most everybody else I ride with went yesterday. Great couple of days to be at the track though, for sure.

[@mr.bayer88]

+650ib Great video! Got me hyped up with the ista post; rushed home to watch the video after work. Was not disappointed! But that wasn't a zx10r that took down the duck, it was an 09 ZX6R! I miss my zx6r..

[@MrRob913]

Ride you must... skill will prevail young Jedi. 🏆🏆

[@Redline87]

Great vid dude. Cant agree with you on the 675R vs R6 however I'm biased. Lol. Gimme a shout if you ever make it south this winter for a trackday. Barber, Roebling Rd, Road Atl, NC Bike, VIR, all of them driveable with my rig. Keep em planted bro

[@650ib]

+Redline87 Thanks man, will do! I will be in Atlanta sometime this summer.

[@mikes9722]

ib do you feel like your a better rider now for doing track days? ive never done one.... wondering if its worth it.

[@abdelhakym8283]

mike s of they're worth it if you gather as much knowledge as you can and practice it there,if you go there just to have fun the difference won't be that significant

[@furiousgonzo2315]

Man that R6 is beautiful Dude. I really think u should keep it and mod it all the way up. Get race fairings for t and all and just keep that as your designated track bike. The triumph is cool but I think the r6 is better. Anyway great video like always brother.

[@bostontricolore6958]

Hey 650ib was this track day sanctioned and signed off on by R1Kelly? Or was this done on the sneak tip? It appears your putting in some laps for a future track day smack down... I'm digging the R6 over the 675. .. Regards from Boston, goshow1299

[@backfire5449]

Ib there's a trackday at COTA in July, the 1st and 2nd to be exact. You think you could make it out here to Texas once more?

[@zachglines9022]

Awesome video as always, good luck on all your endeavors

[@airtonsoares2664]

@650ib you're such a respectable guy, keep up the awesome work and SMACKDOWNS! 👍👍👌🔥☄️☄️

[@ApriliaRacer14]

Love your vids ib...keep them coming!

[@650ib]

+Ducati Drew Thanks Drew!

[@pistolpete6321]

Great video! Seemed like you had better drive out of the corners on the Triumph but hard to tell for sure just watching a short video. What tires were you using on both bikes and what's your opinion on the tires?

[@bmoorfit]

Another great video! #trackday this is gonna motivate me to get on the track finally

[@fcoa.1363]

Nice rides. Which ECU flash you have on the Daytona.?

[@va804smoke]

Nice! I love your TRACK DAYS!!! lol You've definitely gotten better bro! You're inspiring me to go try it out!!

[@MrRc57]

Great video. Fantastic track,Ive been really curious on why you sold your beautiful rf.I will admit my back hurts sometimes when riding mine and I end up on my gixxer 1000.More street worthy and comfortable. I might be looking at an r6 now,Thanks again 6fitty

[@AdamSVT]

Wow you were really dialed in on the Daytona.. both bikes shift beautifully with the quick shifters

[@MikesMotoMadness]

this is awesome man! I can't wait to track my r1. you went hard today !

[@PhantomRides]

Some great comments here and suggestions :-)

[@andrewcarter4818]

I love the look ok the r6 never gets old

[@joelfradiska3050]

Awesome bikes, awesome video, been a fan for over a year love the smack downs but these track day vids are nice to! Keep it goin! #WannaseemoreoftheR1 lol

[@TripleRiderGr]

The full exhaust on the 675 is not intended to be used without the rest of the race kit from Triumph cause it makes the power delivery worse. Great vid btw...

[@diegosemprun]

You're legit! 650ib MUY IMPRESSIVO 👌🏽

[@650ib]

+Diego Semprun Thank you!

[@speeder675]

Wonderful overtake at 10:30

[@catcall569]

Looks like you had a bit of a challenge getting around the bigger bikes lol... you got him and he quickly got you back... awesome video

[@ladieman212]

best intro music 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@AJTalks]

and outro, ib's on point

[@SHUJINCELL]

You kept shifting before the Yamaha's power band initiated. As someone who rides Kawasaki, this is what I like a their engine because it rewards skilled riders. Crazy part about it is, many people buy Yamaha for street and aren't "racers" which almost defeats the purpose of selecting the bike to begin with. Another thing thats crazy to me is the fact many Yamaha riders don't understand how the engine produces it's power. Especially when it comes how harnessing it. Perhaps it's an "american" thing or something. Ninja 636 running both of those bikes all day. However, if you get the R6 please get it in blue.

[@JStieloSoloPhysique1987]

love this type of video tho.. engaging track video. not just music or just racing

[@windyrun7979]

Nice video - thanks for posting. Question: which would you buy -- considering a 2018 r6 (no quick shifter) or a 2019 zx 636 (with quick shifter stock)? Test rides hard to get so appreciate your thoughts. Note: use would be primarily track days. Have an s1000r for street and used to own a daytona 675r.

[@650ib]

I'd go with the R3 and have a quick shift/auto blipper installed from Superbike Unlimited.

[@elevatedboost7444]

I had a ninja 400 for a bit then just upgraded to the new r6 love it

[@silvercheck4]

Hi how are you doing i have a 2014 675R i see you have riden 765Rs speed triple can i have your opinion before i PX my Daytona for the rs as i love the Daytona and don't want to make a mistake thanks Kev in the UK (love your vids)

[@thedriverofallthings]

Absolutely awesome video and great riding

[@JK-qj9qp]

Try changing out your sprockets/chain on the R6 if you decide to keep it as a dedicated track bike. You might like it!

[@citizensauto]

Hey 650ib, when is the tire review coming? Very interested in your thoughts on how the tires felt. Thanks

[@650ib]

citizensauto Hey! Although the 675R had Pirelli Diablo Super Corsa SP2 and the R6 had Bridgestone S21's.... I honestly couldn't tell the difference on the track that day. I will evaluate them again and I'm making a video soon with a Bridgestone tire engineer.

[@jakessmallengines]

Good riding 650 this is. a great video. no cars lots of work but really interesting ! I noticed your H 2 on videos sounds super and notice getting broke in .running stronger !

[@dj0100]

650ib did you ever end up getting a full exhaust and ECU for the R6? If so do you like it better than your 675r with same mods?

[@petahptr]

I'm usually really into the Japanese bikes but that Triumph is some savage shit man!

[@gert-janreinders1409]

650ib you should put on a white seat on the R6 that should look realy good nice video as always greetz from the netherlands

[@dereckrodriguez9688]

I love how you own almost every bike I’ve ever wanted!!!!

[@timjacobsmedia]

Awesome video! Quick question: I want to get a full exhaust for my R6. Can I just get an ECU flash to get the correct tune for the new exhaust or do I need a power commander unit as well? Thanks!

[@komonology]

Tim i wanna go with not having to have a power commander if so but i would wanna know if that is really the case ?

[@komonology]

Tim i wanna go with not having to have a power commander if so but i would wanna know if that is really the case ?

[@nathanninja2]

Great vid ib, could definitely tell you were more comfortable on that R6 on this track.

[@ThePetalesharo]

Hey ib, love the videos! I was wondering how you afford your bikes? I've been looking to get a sport bike like a 600 for my first real bike, but not sure I can afford one until I get a better job. Is financing a good option and what should I look for if I go that route? I also know I have to have full coverage on whatever I get if I finance it, and not sure that's going to be great for a 19yo, would you know any companies that have good rates out of the gate especially paired with a car? Let me know any tips you have, really appreciate it and keep up the good work!

[@adamstratford6740]

Bro that R6 must be a real good track bike to beat the 675R much respect 👊

[@ASHOKKUMAR-zu5gn]

That was crazy man...that panigale guy just shocked.

[@tyb7866]

Now that was a great track video bro keep up the good work !

[@cobratoxic]

650ib can you make a update video of the CFB? What happen to uncle Ben the guy that bought your H2 and donny brasco, the guy that have the accident?

[@LifeOnTwoWheels]

just a go a little wide before entering the corner, you can carry higher corner speed

[@erikphillips9989]

that r6 tho..wow. awesome vid man, as always. looks fun =)

[@aegg9915]

Was that Hail Mary as the intro music ? Sounds familiar. Great choice.

[@bbqbecky5559]

hah, nice throw off ib ! nice paint job....you were checking her out 😂👊

[@taylormaderepsol1k875]

Nice track day fun! I've been wondering though if you're Canadian & why do you call a ZX10R a "Zed" X10?

[@rcarson15]

nice avatar

[@DaytonaDays]

Daytona is a weapon on track, the power you can put down out of the corners is insane.

[@650ib]

+Dubble D I agree!

[@DaytonaDays]

Got a couple of my own videos on track - out of the corners it has the pull on a lot of bigger bikes! Great video dude

[@ihavenonamek733]

No joke!! She behaves like a 400cc in handling. You just have to get use to the aggressive stance.

[@junito121486]

You were beasting on the track bro good shit man!

[@LadySpindriftVlogs]

Lovin the footage as always, Ib! I'm curious on who's the girl on the GSXR750! She's absolutely an inspiration for me and many other female riders!

[@650ib]

+LadySpindrift Hey there! I forgot her name but she's married to one of the control riders/coaches at Mid Ohio Sports Car Course. He trained her to be a beast on the track. They're cute together.

[@93broome]

that is awesome mate! wish that kind of track day stuff existed here in Aus. would be awesome to get out there and ride as crazy and fast as you can to test your bike.

[@farihardan4608]

hey ib.. why you never use your H2 and Ducati on the track?

[@MrRedex88]

He buzzed you good. Ha Looks like you guys had fun!

[@Strigity]

Great video Ib, gives good perspective! You think your going to hang on to the R6??

[@davidbonnet9614]

Great vid 650ib! Sounds like someone might be switching to the R1's little sister :)

[@TheAstraios]

You are talking up the yamaha. But you seemed a lot more confident on the triumph i.e. were riding it harder. But also more than that if you listen to the engine your throttle use on the 675 was a lot cleaner. The R6 was very jerky in comparison. Your braking for a number of the turn is very early which is why those marshals went past you so quickly. Not so much to do with the extra power. Though it obviously helped them on the straights :D. Either way, love seeing you promote track days. I worry more and more bikers will turn into highway racers and will fall victim to its dangers.

[@VeeFour]

if it can't be done on power, then get it done on brakes 👍🏁

[@carinyo123]

VeeFour absolutely

[@ththangboi2374]

Which one of the Bike does better?? The 2017 R6 or Daytona 675??

[@chrispbacon7568]

Ib, I've recently started watching. (enjoying your content!) With that said, I haven't watched all your videos.. Are you from Ohio??!

[@650ib]

+erik bermel Yes, I live in filthy Cleveland, Ohio.

[@chrispbacon7568]

Awesome! Columbus here, hope to meet up sometime!

[@alessandrobajona1701]

Which one would you choose for the streets I'm interested in both I don't know witch one to get witch you recommend?

[@frankeichhorn7979]

Alessandro Bajona I would recommend the 675R because it has more low/mid torque.

[@williamduckworth305]

Would I be happy on a 600 or the Daytona a 6 foot 2

[@650ib]

Yes

[@keithdraper7826]

That's is the best riding I have seen from you! Very nice big improvements, you should be more aggressive more often you ride better.

[@jacobhawkins9144]

You did an ECU flash on the Daytona? How? I was under the impression that the 3rd gens weren't unlocked yet. I did a PCV and Ignition Module on my '14 675R but would have preferred something other than a piggyback system. Hope to see you at Mid-O soon man, gonna be a great season once this weather breaks. Spent all day watching track day vids...

[@650ib]

+Jacob Hawkins I had the Triumph ecu flash.

[@jacobhawkins9144]

650ib oh, for the arrow exhaust tune?

[@650ib]

Jacob Hawkins Yes, Triumph offers an ecu flash for the full Arrow exhaust.

[@Reaper28Star]

I read something in forums daytona 675r has a overheating problem. Is it true?

[@JahidHasan-lp9vy]

Gsxr600r vs Zx6r vs Cbr600rr vs R6 which one is better??

[@robridesbikes5433]

Was nice to see you on a less powerful bike and focusing on your technique throttle and lines

[@FJ55ironpig]

This was a fun video. You had a great time

[@ΘοδωρηςΘεοδωρογλου]

Need to check your throtle control mate! Nice vids :)
