I got one and they are amazing! Everyone that rides needs one.

[@kjhasjd]

I recently just passed my MSF course with Harley (Palm Bay) in FL. After passing my test, watching this video has given me way more understanding as to everything that goes into riding and more. In the city riding portion, I noticed your hand never grabbed the front back, aside from the fast stop example. Are you primarily stopping with the rear brake all the time? I'm a beginner rider who will be purchasing his first sport bike. I had to learn on a Harley short boy, as the call it, so I know how it's going to feel going from a a Harley to a sport bike. Thank you in advance.

[@johnbielanski4771]

Another great video. Bought the Fanttik thanks for the code !

[@adecentgamer3154]

Def getting one

[@AahanBagdaiaahansolo]

Triumph should make 765 version as well. People have been wanting it for a long time.

[@FerXYZ01]

They will

[@azn_1050]

You mean the Daytona 765? They already have made it. It's a limited edition release though.

[@billlangly7806]

These things are way prettier in person, cool to see a review finally! How would you say it stacks up to an RS 660?

[@pmwaffle9348]

True but the older daytonas and the rs660 still look better imo

[@ridernotrunner]

Way cheaper I bet

[@championsgaming1]

they are wayyyyy better looking in person. I thought they were ugly in pictures, went in person and i was like ready to buy it.

[@donbourbon]

Visually there's a lot of CBR650 vibes here. Noice! OC!

[@rightwingsafetysquad9872]

This is a good formula. But do it with the 765 and make it more premium. Adjustable suspension, cruise control, better dash (hopefully with an analog tac). Keep the ergos semi-relaxed like this 660.

[@3TOAO3]

Exactly what I want

[@chaseontwowheels]

I second this. That 765 out of the street is top tier

[@FerXYZ01]

They will do it. But of course not at this price point. Price point is important for this model

[@newbierides]

I like that feature that it changes color from red to gray.

[@iodineclip]

why are the headlights are still separated low beam/high beam? cant we have both lights on at the same time for both low and high beam?

[@phantomnus]

How does this compare to Honda’s CBR 650?

[@maguslascivious4980]

using plastic covers to make it look lie an older bike... is lame AF.. Tube frame looks fine. Modern SV race bikes look amazing and old Ducati monsters were always sexy.

[@TheLastCrankers]

I was super hyped up about this bike, but the more I think about it the more it feels budget to me. Sure it's premium made and feeling, but no quickshifter as standard? For the price I kinda would like one. Better dash? Same story, it's not bad, but for the price... It's this lack of things that really detracts from this bike for me, it feels like it was made from parts laying around - all the budget probably went for the engine. Will still give it a ride, but for this price, I am probably not gonna get it and go with something else. Hell, the street tripple R, which is a MUCH better bike, is just a couple hundred more. Edit: and yes, white is the best color!

[@nathanyoung3078]

Funny enough, the Street Triple R is a few hundred dollars more, and the Daytona 660 uses the same exact dash as the Street Triple R.

[@TheLastCrankers]

@@nathanyoung3078 It does. And it's not a good thing either

[@marcustaylor3528]

That's nice... still waiting for the 675SS tho 😅

[@beefyboi64]

I'm a fan of stiff suspensions, I wanna be able to have as intuitive an understanding of my bike's grip as possible. If I wanna be comfortable I'll hop back on my char with the soft seats and the AC xD

[@nickhughes6883]

OC 34:41 ❤ Q1) what do you think long distances with that vibration you mentioned? Q2) as the bike is less agile than a naked, does the bike fatigue you after a while? Q3) is this for a tall rider as the seat is so low? (6ft+)

[@Mediarahan003]

I sat on one. Then I sat on a street triple. I just couldn't make it make sense. I just don't understand how this segment is better than a naked bike with a windscreen. I feel like the passion and drama of a supersport is totally lost. I feel like the comfort of a naked bike is compromised. I don't think it has anywhere near the versatility of a sport touring bike. I just don't get it.

[@spartanx169x]

Any naked bike even with a windscreen offers no wind protection. This Daytona will definitely have that. It will be miles better in colder riding conditions compared to your average naked bike. It makes perfect sense to me. This is a good step up from a beginner bike without having to get the Supersport 600 inline 4s pushing 125 HP and are uncomfortable for riding more than 45 minutes. I would love to have the Supersports but riding them is just crap because of how aggressive they are. This Daytona fixes that problem. Sporty but not too aggressive.

[@jordandavid2326]

for an expensive bike that dash looks outdated

[@BrandoMoto]

what is the 1 square inch tft not good enough for you lol

[@NicePantsLance]

Lmao since when is a sub-$10k sport bike expensive?! If anything, its fairly loaded for its price and class

[@ishan4269]

Finally, someone pointed it out...

[@char.9101]

Daytona 660 is one of the cheapest in its class

[@2006Whippet]

I have the Tiger Sport 660 with the same dash. Does it look outdated? Yes. Does it provide all of the info you need? Also, yes. The tech nerd in me does want a nice TFT, though. 😊

[@joek81981]

That dash is unforgivable to me. Good grief, the 900 Tiger dash is right over there, fellas. Bung that one in there. The OC Wednesdays at 7pm on FOX

[@rileylofin7653]

I have a few options of my first bike I’m pretty athletic so physical stuff I guess wouldn’t matter but I’m not a expert so I wouldn’t know my options are r7 and cbr650r and gxsr8r and the Daytona 660 what should I get I’m 6 foot 4 and 220 just in case if matters

[@walidr8773]

for 40-80 pull you guys should have a leaderboard to compare figures between bikes in the same segment

[@ragerider6283]

Nice vid. It's a good bike, looks pretty nice & has a decent engine for the class. However, I don't like the cockpit (not a deal breaker though) & the suspension & handling are a bit disappointing. I looked in to this & the GSX8R & bought the 8R in the end. The 660 looks better overall, including the bars, but they are less comfortable. I also think the Triumph has a better / more exciting engine, but the 8R's engine is still very good & the low down & midrange torque makes it more useable at legal speeds. It also has a QS as standard. Whereas the best part of the Triumph's engine is when you rev it out & then you're looking at jail time. Also while they aren't bad on the Daytona, the build quality, comfort, suspension & handling are all better on the 8R. Brakes are very good on both bikes. If Triumph upgraded the suspension & dash it would easily be the class leader imo.

[@xCr0nus]

Hey Chase. I’ve got a 2024 BMW K1600B that I just purchased, and I’d be happy to lend it to you for a review if you’re interested. Not sure where you’re located, but I’m in Southern California. Let me know! Great review as always. Tommy

[@leagull_]

Chase thanks for that discount on the tire inflator. Oh and the video is excellent. Keep up the good work.

[@rahulmaurya3842]

Bro having such a good time he forgot what year it is.

[@infernalsaxon]

Tried a Tiger 660 recently. Love the engine and feel of it. Ended up on a used Versys 1000 because i got a really good deal. May end up on a triumph in the future.

[@JCrozier1]

I rode all three 660's back to back last month. I like the tiger comfort, the trident engine braking, and the top end of the daytona. I hopped on the tiger 900 next and it solved all the differences I had with the 660s. except for its about $5k more dollars.

[@Bluecollarguy87]

What’s up with all that space in the cockpit?! That could have filled that in with some plastics or something. Triumph please just alil better. Gsx8r seems to be more premium then this Daytona.

[@paulconnell1309]

Great review Chase! Reasonably tame corners, I would love to see this bike in the twisties. Based on your comments it might not be as good as the R7 and the R8. The power plant is changed from the other 660s, more RPM and power, triple throttle bodies etc. Finally, don't agree with you on the dash. It is a pile of rubbish, even the tame Ninja has a better dash, the R7 is fine for an LCD and the GSX is the best in class. Triumph needs to up its act. And a free quick shifter too! Watched to the end, always Chase.

[@rest1289]

I fucking love mine haha put it in sport mode and it wheelies first gear all day longgg you can pop em up in 2nd too and it accerlates super super good too

[@FreddyPaine]

Technically, mechanically, it must be a much better machine than my '72 TR6. But where's the style, the charm? Ah well, you do you and have fun. Keep the rubber on the road. 👍

[@bradymcrae7351]

Just bought a 24 mt09 but if they come out with a new 765 Daytona I will buy one

[@reggieh6038]

if the tail was a bit longer it would be perfect. r6 has the best looking tail of a bike imo.

[@c.j.carson6927]

I feel like this bike is a generation behind. There's nothing bad about this bike per se for me, but for the cost there's also nothing that stands out either. The only selling point is that it's a 3-cyl sport bike.

[@hua.g]

I've recently tested this and had the same reaction. Thinking of getting one tbh.

[@sicknote2236]

Is the cardo worth it when I have a ruroc with the integrated sound an mic, we tend to group call as no headset has enough range as we tend to split up often but stay on call till whoever split of from us gets to where they're going or we all meet back up and stop

[@rodrigoconstantino]

I rode this bike twice! It’s really good. Regarding the steering I can feel it not so focus as a super sport but it’s marginal, it’s not something detrimental to the bike.

[@rileylofin7653]

Is it good as a first bike I’m 6’3 and 205 and I’m 18

[@Hallack0]

A few youtubers that were in the spain event said that the brakes were developed by J.Juan and then branded Triumph. It was said on their videos that they were told this on some sort of press conference before the ride. The time spam between the videos is short, probably they were in the same room when this was said. But I didn't see this in any other video and there's no confirmation anywhere.

[@Slayer66037]

I own a Daytona 660 and can confirm the brakes are J-Juan it says it on the brake pads lol

[@drmitofit2673]

Does this model have Triumph's dreaded dealer only service indicator reset? If so, that is a deal breaker.

[@butternuts842]

Do both headlights come on with high beams? I see only on daytime driving

[@chukaone]

Yes they both come on with high beams. There is just one daytime running light sadly

[@gorillamoto5329]

Love a Triumph, but to use the Daytona moniker and not improve on the previous… I’d consider myself a 675R fanboy, but this is not what I think when I the Daytona. They make such a quality bike, wish they’d have done what they could to keep that name sacred.

[@JSTravis112]

i understand the idea of why companies go this route, but im always disappointed they would just discontinue a supersport model as a whole and rebrand it as this less aggressive road bike. If you buy a supersport style and seating and were expecting it to be comfy all day, you were just uninformed. i think both options should exist. I love my 675R. but i expected it to not be comfy lmao

[@matholthe]

They have successfully made "the peoples" daytona. Triumph can NOW make a 765 moto2 edition with terrible ergonomics for the hardcore guys. 😎😎

[@ausstn879]

OC: I currently have a 2016 ninja 650 and want to upgrade and improve my riding but I can’t decide between the Daytona or the GSX-8R. Any suggestions

[@rbattson7171]

It's a road bike, not a track bike, some folks expecting an update of the old daytona... Its not. I would buy this if it were a naked! I own a trident 660 and love it, but if they upgrade the trident with this engine in the future, i would trade, otherwise i,ll keep blatting around on my trident. 👍Thanks for the video

[@nrj816]

Please do make a Sport video. I have had 2 entry nakeds and I'm thinking about entering the mid sport tier for my next bike but still only ride city and some HWY. Curious what you think about those.

[@tg8150]

Hope they sorted out the crappy throttle from the Trident. Had one, couldn’t sell it fast enough. Went back to the 10-year old class benchmark- FZ-07. It’s just about perfect- still.

[@bikerbeliever8169]

Oc so if you could only buy one which would it bw the 8r or the dayton? I know u said u prefer the motor of the daytona in the vid. I rode the 8r on test ride while back and it was onw of best bikes i had ever ridden, so smooth and just really nice. Hard to imagine this being that good.

[@d3dennis]

Trident 765 by Triumph would be awesome

[@ninji5226]

Nice time to be a rider. Suzuki has the 8R and now Triumph has this. Comfortable bikes with super sport looks and affordable to boot. I dig naked's (I have an FZ1 and really want a 1st gen MT-10) but the fully faired look is my jam. I would like to see bigger displacements in this comfy supersport style though cause once you go liter, it's hard to go back.

[@aircooledsociety76]

A great review, can you tell me which camera you used to take the exterior photos when you drove the red Daytona. The recordings look really good! Thanks

[@kturnerhome]

What up Chase. A year later and you're still keepin me in the loop and nag for motorcycling! Thank you for constantly making quality content when we need it. You always deserve more appreciation. Ride safe! Much love

[@Frank_Torre]

OC: Triumph really knows how to give us a great triple. That linear power band is my favourite kinda power delivery. You get the punch of a parallel twin with the high rev range of a in-line 4. Giving you smooth power delivery thru the revs. I just wish they brought back the 675R triple instead of using the Trident 660 triple. Honestly though the head unit is a lil dated, like you can see they made lil effort to change the front of the bike compared to the 675R and naturally they gave it a budget feeling dash to get it under 10k. I'd say pass because I owned a Daytona 675R and no matter what Triumph do with this new Daytona aside from putting the 675R triple in it and calling it the R spec Daytona I'll always choose the more aggressive riding position of the 675R and more sporty nature. But given the choice between the Daytona 660 and say a Aprilia RS660, I think I'd go RS660 even if it's msrp is higher. The RS660 is a better bike and Aprilia tend to sell below the msrp from what I've experienced.

[@ellwoodwolf]

I don't understand who is buying this when the MUCH better speed triple 765 is so close in price. Also wtf is up with a $370 quick shifter that comes on its competition....

[@Harlin67]

Still find it amazing the highway(?) authorities wherever you are think its safer to sit behind a car on a bike than filter to the lights. Remarkably dumb approach.

[@nothingis3dots]

it looks similar to CBR650R..

[@chorseundgrd]

Honestly, all of Triumphs dashes suck. The top of the line one they use is laggy and pretty ugly. It's not a deal breaker for me but it's weird that they can't seem to figure it out.

[@kentbulic9843]

Did a test ride during my local dealer’s demo event. Bike sits way too high for a sportbike, even for a 660. Feels a lot more of a sport touring bike. Has decent low end torque but at that price it was cheaper and more cost effective to get the 2024 gsxr 600 which I ended up getting.

Looks to me this is a very direct competitor to the cbr650r, which doesn't look as great anymore, same price too I believe. These both are pricier than the r7 of gsx8r. Though to me in this class rs660 stomps.. But its price speaks for itself lmao.

Definitely agree the state of tune/power characteristics of the Daytona are a perfect fit for this style of bike. Yamaha's CP2 and Suzuki's 8 series motors not so much but have to wonder since I know you had the opportunity to ride the European Honda Hornet while tire testing how you feel that motor would compare to the Daytona's triple?
