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

[@E_8519]

You know a manual pressure gauge is faster

[@newbierides]

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

[@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.

[@Lost-si5ht]

​@@azn_1050bit too sporty for me 🥹

[@rollerswithkaleb]

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

[@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

[@donbourbon]

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

[@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.

[@Cook9698]

the rs 660 has more power , is much lighter, more electronics and better suspension and brakes i believe, also quite the big price difference (rs660 being 2-3k more).

[@rbattson7171]

Thanks

[@JoaquimGonsalves]

Opening soundtrack was kick-ass!

[@c.r.chandler5905]

Yeah that track was epic

[@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.

[@4LowRocks]

I'm a 60+ year old rider and am really digging this bike. I do love your first ride style, Chase. OC!

[@thepinoybummer]

This made me seriously consider getting this bike. I've done a couple of test rides and might actually get it next year. Guys, the engine is a gem. Docile around the lower RPM's, perfect for around town. No jerky movements when going on-off throttle but boy does it wake up in the midrange and asks for you to rev it.

[@RedRapid]

how is it on the top end?

[@EchoMikeT]

I own one of these bikes and recently finished a 1000 mile 3 day trip. Got home with little to no pain to speak of. Aside from a right wrist cramp from the lack of cruise control the bike handled the entire trip perfectly and I'd have no problem taking it on a longer trip

[@walidr8773]

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

[@michaelfoster2426]

I’ve had my Daytona 660 for 2 weeks now and it’s so much fun to ride I’ve already done 2000 kilometres on it. I might be addicted to it and need therapy. I live in Sydney Australia and we have a great variety of freeways and twisty roads on the southern coast and hills. This bike handles all of it with its sure footed upside down forks, grippy Michelin power 6 tyres and excellent brakes. The power plant is awesome and an absolute torque hound. It gives instant power anywhere in the rev range and the acceleration is stronger than the Honda CB1300 I used to have. I’m going to ride it from Sydney to my home town Adelaide in South Australia across the Hay plains for the Christmas holidays and come back via the Great Ocean road in Victoria. I already have confidence in this bike’s ability to handle the 1400 kilometres there and 1700 kilometres back.

[@Lost-si5ht]

Is cruise control really necessary on this bike? I wanna buy this bike as my first bike and i am still confused on this 😐

[@ezekielsio-kapa9950]

Have you had any problems with it almost sold on getting it I just wonder how reliable it is

[@Carlisho]

Those 90 degree valve stems should be standard on any motorcycle to ever be sold, no question.

[@Fittednocap]

How come?

[@2m7b5]

@@Fittednocap It's a pain in the ass to get some pressure gauges around the rotors.

[@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.

[@fredmaldonado9204]

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

[@Houdinimancer]

I had a chance to ride this at the Triumph Demo Day event. Very fun bike!

[@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?

[@roshandsouza6415]

It was your review that made me buy the tiger sport 660 and I am very happy with the purchase...

[@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+)

[@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

[@deshyyt.7995]

Oc!! Also im loving this bike. I wish we could have seen you on the white one. Ive always loved the 675r but this looks awesome. I want one!

[@PrinceVoid7]

I love the Daytona series the 675R is my favorite motorcycle

[@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

Same here

[@MrVincinzo]

I'm 30in and I can flat foot bike no problem😅...

[@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.

[@Syphertek]

Am I seeing things or at around 5:50 the bike goes from black to red as he is pulling out onto the street? Love your videos Chase and thank you for reviewing this bike it is one on my list of potential next bikes.

[@TrizerFlame]

Seen the white up close, looks amazing oc!

[@LeoBlitz999]

Is this bike ergonomics suitable for long journeys? For example: 2-3 hours on the road. Any thoughts?

[@shalokshalom]

Most people say 6 hours plus is good too.

[@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

[@marcustaylor3528]

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

[@Not2Day117]

OC! Deciding between this and the Trident 660 as my first bike. I'm leaning toward this just because I love the looks 😍

[@shanebroomhall]

Hey Chase OC, loved the video, I havent watched many since your Daytona 675 ones. How does it compare to the 675 ?

[@_Cheeba]

nice, ive been looking for a portable pump for a long time and never trusted any reviews so nice to see one from a trusted source. How much have you used it and how good does it work?

oc. as someone with a destroyed back, any recommendations for first bikes? sitting straight up is terrible

[@mako7998]

9:40 did your camera car enjoy the Shelby? I know I did

[@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.

[@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

[@phantomnus]

How does this compare to Honda’s CBR 650?

[@sans_1993]

Can't wait to see your review of the new Shotgun650! Cheers !

[@ConQuefdedor]

I really want to see how @chaseontwowheels likes the Triumph Bonneville Bobber. Seems like its mad comfy but has plenty of torque to get you where you need to go.

[@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.

[@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

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

[@radiantmind8729]

Is there a remedy for the buzzing you talked about? Could it work itself out as the bike continues to break in?

[@richardwarsinske7064]

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?

[@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.

[@rajeshrameswaran]

Oc, probably picking it up on Thursday 😁

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@TheUnclejulian]

@chaseontwowheels I'm not too familiar with that style of handle bar/clip on unit. Is it at all possible to raise or lower it on the front forks? Is it possible to adjust your riding position slightly by doing this?

[@user-vf7gp1hr9c]

If it won't flick, I doubt it's the bike's fault. Probably need to check your rear pre-load to raise the rear end (which you probably didn't adjust) so it will flick left to right. Had same problem on my 765 which everyone says is the most agile. Once I did that, it was amazing.

[@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

[@shalokshalom]

The 660 is A2 compatible for EU and UK markets, that makes it more valuable there compares to the Street Triple 765.

[@TheLastCrankers]

@@shalokshalom yes, I know it's A2 compatible, and no, it doesn't make it valuable, it's an afterthought. It simply feels cheap, like it was an afterthought to make it nice (like a premium brand like Triumph should be). And guess what, there now exists a version of ST765R which IS A2 compatible ;)

[@MrUrrl]

[@rns6889]

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.

I had the same dilemma, test rode both, and bought the Daytona. The Suzuki is more upright and has a quickshifter, but other than that, the Daytona is much smoother in every aspect.

[@TheGolfCellar]

This is my current dilemma. Surprisingly, the dealers aren't allowing test rides. They are leaving the door as soon as they get in.

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

[@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.

Is this riding position more or less aggressive than a thruxton?

[@cviands]

OC alright chase if you could only have one Daytona 660 or Tuono 660?

[@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. 👍

Trident 765 by Triumph would be awesome

[@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.

[@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.
