The people that moan about it not being a 'proper Daytona' seem to forget that the 675 was only one of many bikes Triumph called a Daytona from the 60s cruisers to the 1990s 750, 955 and 1200 to the 2000s 600 and 650... I may have missed a few. The 660 is just the latest iteration and a great bike at a keen price that's right in the middle of a current popular sector.

I've got a 2009 daytona that has helibars and it's actually quite comfortable. Much more torque than other 600's so great in traffic. I've got a few mods on it so it weighs 399 pounds wet. Very flickable compared to most modern bikes.
@neillambton40654 ай бұрын
Totally aggree, i road tested the Destination Triumph Christchurch demonstrator on Saturday. What i found really surprising, was the amount of torque the engine has. While riding along at about 50 in 6th gear, you just twist the throttle, and it pulls like a train. It really is an amazing bike, and i do think, it`s the perfect sports bike for British roads. Just the right amount of power, comfortable, excellent brakes, and no fancy suspension to lose your mind with. Great vid, thanks for posting it.

But this looks like it would be a great all arounder. And again, 95HP, is another good number for me. I would prefer to have power I can have fun with over power I can never (legally) access.

I like that we are similar heights and weights and that you're an older rider too. Your tests resonate with me far more than some kid complaining about whether the bike has multi axis ABS or whatever.

Thanks to Triumph for coming out with this bike that checked so many of the boxes I wanted in a bike. ~100hp, fairings, not upright but not supersport riding position and not a p-twin.

Great video mate, well done, I just stumbled upon your channel - subscribed! On the new Daytona... Yeah, look, the bike itself is nice and all, but... it epitomises this new era of sportbikes that just doesn't resonate with me. I know that I am in the minority, but some of us are still dedicated. If people don't feel like riding a sportbike because it's too much work or whatever, they should get an MT-07 or something; they are great fun. Personally, I'd get the new baby blade over this everytime, anytime.
