Triumph Daytona 675R Review

A short video review of the 2015 Triumph Daytona 675R on the twisty back roads near San Diego, CA. This is my first time doing a video talking to the camera so my apologies for not being great at it, feel free to mute the middle part of the video. ;)

This video was amazing. The quality of the content is great. Very well put together my man

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you! Lots more coming soon, and always looking to improve!

[@Marksman2oo7]

I can tell you know that road well, man. Nice riding!

[@AsifShaikh-jm6zy]

A lot of professional reviewers find it difficult to keep the flow of the content natural and relevant. You have a knack for it. Enjoyed watching your videos. Subscribing to your channel!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you! It is pretty difficult to ride at a brisk pace and still talk without it turning to absolute gibberish. ;)

[@balanceofperfection]

Your chanell will grow exponentially with this content, It's so professionally done. Great job my man!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you!

[@Dygear]

Hands down one of the best videos I've seen on KZbin. The sense of speed you nailed, the colors are vivid and amazing, feels like I'm rocking a tinted visor and going balls out. The way you explained the bike and still kept going is impressive. Top notch work dude.

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you!!

[@whowhatwuh]

Just like the comment below me said, great review and commentary, as well as editing skills! Subbed!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thanks!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

+jjdd ishere It would really depend on the skill of the rider. Any 1000 is going to have a big power advantage in a straight line, the BMW has easily 60-70hp more than the 675R. The Daytona is certainly lighter and more agile in tight corners than a 1000 though. At track days, skilled riders on 600s are often faster than other less skilled riders on 1000s.

[@DocUltimate]

I watched, subscribed, liked and put it in my playlist the first time i saw it. This is an excellent, straight to the point video review. Awesome!

[@casey360360]

The 2017 has 128bph, which gives it (dry) a better weight-to-power ratio than a: Bugatti Veyron, Pagani Zonda, or a ZX-14R.

[@arjunrathnakaran5877]

superb

[@kolokolok]

Probably the best motovlogging review on any bike out there! If you'll be doing more videos with this excellent level of technical explanations, this channel will really flourish. Keep the reviews raining!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thanks for the kind words. More reviews in the works, videos coming soon!

[@gwwayner]

My 2010 Triumph STR has been modded over the years with a SuperSprox 520 conversion with +2 rear sprocket, Arrow 3-1 full exhaust and tune, Sargent seat, QuickShifter, KyleUsa linear rear linkage with Ohlin's TR805 shock, and various cf bling. On the 50 mph twisty back-roads around here it pulls so hard in top gear, easily hitting 100-110 mph just rolling on the throttle, that lower gears are optional. It barely weighs 400 lbs gassed up and the handling, especially with the linear linkage, is effortless and telepathic with never a hint of instability on fast bumpy corners. It even rides smoother over the bigger bumps with the linear linkage (which was developed for the Daytona). I have hit a speedo-corrected 142 mph on level highway which is not bad for a naked middleweight bike. Although I can afford a 1000cc sport-bike if I want one, I agree with you that more is not necessarily better for riding on public roads. I have enough trouble avoiding jail on this bike!

[@jbdoggy]

Thanks for the review Its my dream bike! Still a little less then a year before i can enrol for lessons for the open category license tho. Just obtained my mid tier license last month.

[@georgecarter58]

Finally! A good review with fast, noisy, fun to watch footage, usually it's a little bit of spirited riding with no commentary, and then all the facts and commentary whilst cruising around boring roads, you've hit the nail on the head, subbed

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@stanleygardiner1780]

I've just purchased a 675r and your right it's a cracking bike but the knee thing on the tank is so correct, I'm 5'9 and have the same problem. But hey it's one of the best bikes I've ever ridden 👊

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Absolutely, compared to how good the rest of the bike is the tank shape issue is a small complaint. Plus it would be remedied relatively easily with a couple additional pieces of tank grip material to go on the plastic fill panels.

[@Brayker19]

I have the 675r and i dont have that problem at all... maybe my legs are longer or shorter but it fits me perfectly and im 6'0. Perhaps it's just a body dimensions issue.

[@stanleygardiner1780]

+Evan Smith I've done a 1000miles on it now and don't notice it! Maybe I just needed to get use to the riding position. I still think it's better than the 2012 fireblade I had 👊

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Yeah I actually had meant to say that in the video, that riders with longer legs than mine might find it perfect. In reality it's a small issue that is easily fixed by adding a couple small additional pieces of tank grip material. Such a great bike in every other way!

[@nigelpstreet]

Great review! I have the Street Triple, and you highlighted the differences nicely, nice riding too - great to see a supersports ridden hard vs. a litre bike ridden well within its limits.

[@nate5388]

Wow dude. I watch a ton of bike videos for fun...and this was fantastic. Good work!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you! Life and work has been getting in the way but I have more videos coming soon!

[@ezridr1234]

I agree with the one under me, I know this is old but your style of reviewing is refreshing dawg! I watched a million videos recently and none compare. Thumbs up bro, ride hard!

[@Crouchy92]

Great video. You are higher quality content that some of the most popular KZbinrs. Keep it up and thanks for the amazing review. I'm looking to get one of these in the next few months and this just persuaded me even more!

[@MikeOnBike360]

Up to now I watched two of your videos (the r1 is the other one) and I really like them. You have a great way of telling a story. *subscribed*

[@christophersmith8850]

Nice review on the 675r. I find if I sit back on the seat my knees line up good with the tank cut outs and tech spec grips. Especially in full tuck position. These are great motorcycles and he nailed pretty much all the key points of this model. I wouldn't borrow anyone's bike though, but I had to learn the hard way with that....:/

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

you should really consider applying at one of the major networks, hands down best review I've ever watched very fluid riding with very good explanation of why the bike does what it does, seriously i want a 675r now and I've been looking at a used 2014 zx10r, definitely subbed now!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you!!

[@aurorajones8481]

Who are these ppl lending their bikes out? I barely am ok w/ giving it to the mechanic. No one touches my bike. 17 Daytona 675R White. Ive laid the smack down on 1000's on the street and the track with it. Love it dearly.

[@gomongoose]

Excellent ride-on video and great quality as always. Oh and I remember the turn at 7:00 where u met a van/pickup truck reversing down the road in another of your video. I hope u gets more Subs. Keep it up!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you! Good eye on the corner from the other video. I'm a bit gun shy there now with the driveways and such, but to be honest the whole road is littered with driveways and requires a bit of extra caution.

[@MorningMindfulness]

Woah, first video of yours I love seen, and the editing looks beautiful, man! Nicely tuned and the vignette adds a nice touch, maybe lower it a bit so it's more subtle, but still better looking than any other motovlogger! Don't stop making content brother, just subscribed haha

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you! Lots more content coming soon! I have a bunch of videos in the works right now.

[@jtkent28]

I have a '12 675R. Much prefer the looks of the '06-'12 with the high tail exhaust and like the logo style they used on my R. As for riding it's THE BEST handling and LEAST comfortable bike I've ever ridden. My wrists kill after only 20-30 mins but I love it anyway. Excited to get it out on the track this season!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

I'm absolutely with you! I keep throwing around the idea of picking up a '12 R for a track bike. The old school in me likes undertail or high mount exhausts way better than the new "lowboy" style.

[@PeterDad60]

I'm 67 now. But when I was younger I raced a bone stock 1976 Triumph T140V Bonneville in what we called cafe style back road races. I admit to removing the huge, heavy mufflers and also the seat cushion. I also installed drag bars becaus eClip-ons were to rare. She won every race from January 10th 1977 till when I parked her in September 1986 to get married and raise a family. I ended up bringing her out again in 1992 she was 17 years old and a little clapped out. Low compression due to worn rings and leaking valve seats. I raced and won against gentlemen wearing full professional race suits while riding the new Kawasaki Ninja 1100 fuel injected bike that was speed limited to 179 mph. Accelerating up to that limiter she was a beast. But she lost to the handling on my Bonneville. Also a Honda V1000 Interceptor fell to my Triumph. I still have my Triumph and she is 20 feet from me as I type this. I still ride. In fact I am riding my cruisers cafe style as in left hand on the front downtube and crouching under the wind and removing the seat to sit lower. They handle twice as good but are 300-450 lbs to heavy for the job at hand. Which is back raoa corner carving with short straights. I am interested in the Daytona 675R mostly because of its weight, and handling. I have a question. At speeds between 35 and 45 mph does she have enough torque to steer with the throttle in the curves? That's my method. I close the throttle to drop into the curve and if I over do it I just roll on the throttle to pick her up again. I don't move a muscle. I sit still and steer with the throttle. Well I am already hanging off a bit. My 750 cc Twin had enough torque to do this and along with the factory 4030 chromoly frame that never flexed -she never lost. I practiced all the time. I never cut anyone off. My belief is if you can win against her and me then I must allow that. It is irresponsibly poor sportsmanship to do nasty things just to claim a victory. No one ever won. They all got to read the "Triumph" logo printed in gold on the back of the seat cover. I only removed the cushion. So what do you think, does the 675R have enough torque at those speeds? BTW my T140V was 395 lbs stock and after I removed the huge exhaust canisters and blinkers and seat she was around 365 lbs wet. I would go with the new Thruxton but they are around 438 lbs wet. Too heavy in my opinion. But it would have the ooomph to throttle steer. Don't make me take out my 1976 Bonneville again. It would entail hours of work to get the compression up. I can do that. But I accept the possibility that the 2017/2018 motorcycles should be faster on a back road. Not 100% convinced though. So maybe I will need to work on my engine and bring her out in the sunshine and let her breath deep and run for the win. In truth I would need to replace every rubber grommet on the shocks because they are all dry rotted. Yes, of course I have new replacement parts in 3 boxes and a workshop manual and many tools. I forgot to purchase rings and valves and valve springs cause I though what I had would last forever. BTW I beat the fuck out of her when racing. It was always do or die. No holding back. She never blew up. I stopped raing her because the nigh she beat that Kaw 1100 Ninja and he was overheard to say he hit 179 mph in our race, well him and a few fucks decided to mess with my Bonneville. They loosened a nut on the long bolt under the engine that held it in place. That allowed the engine to shift around while racing and I broke a frame triangular gusset going home that night. Also the loose rear footpeg vibrated off and caught inside the chain and rear sprocket breaking a tooth. That's what made the engine twist in the frame enough to crack the engine mounting plate in half. The frame plate is chrome moly so I did not trust anyone to weld her up. I can purchase that gusset/frame/plate for around $75. That is the real problem, if I replace that she is good to go without any engine work (just won't be as fast as she was). Lastly I broke my hips (again) in a Honda Aero crash and broke my right tibia and fibula in 8 places so I have a rod and 5 bolts in that leg. I am kind of afraid to kick start my Bonneville. Once (and only once) in all her years she kicked back. But Once is enough, if she ever did that and with my leg the way it is. Well I would not want to be me if that happened. What happened was my boot slipped off the kick starter and that's how I got hurt (for 10 min of pain). But if that happened now I will say again "I would not want to be me". I could use my left leg to kick start her. She is kick start only. So there is indeed a work around for every problem she has. Still a grey bearded man racing kids on a 41 year old motorcycle just looks so stupid! -Peter

[@PeterDad60]

I always enjoyed talking to other riders who spent good amounts of money to hop up their bike and still lost to my Triumph which I did not spend a penny on parts. Wait I'm wrong, the drag bars cost me $20. Oh, forgot those same fucks loosened the bolts that held the drag bars in place. When I got home most of them were missing! I used black electricians tape to firmly attach the bars. The tape is still holding them on. Never bothered to purchase new nuts and bolts for the bars. Because with my style I do not use that much leverage on the bars anyway. I hang off and push with my knee on the gas tank toward the direction I want the bike to go. I do a lot of dancing on the pegs! My method is a sure way not to ever have a head shake or speed wobble. When you counter steer using the bars you are torquing the front wheel a little. If you hit a bump with the wheels out of true, that's going to shake the entire machine at speed. I always kept the width of my front tire as my line in a curve. That's why she never lost.

[@timothy9596]

You deserve waaaaaay more sub's. Amazing riding. Which road is this? Headed to Julian?

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you! It's a mix of roads, but yeah heading towards/around Julian. Highland Valley Rd, Old Julian Hwy, Sunrise Hwy, etc.

[@Foiki]

this Video gave me multiple eargasms. What a great Sound this Bike has!!

[@kineticfps9836]

Fantastic review mate, you deserve way more subs than you have now with reviews like that. Keep up the good work :)

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@greyanaroth]

OMG finally someone talks about the 3-4.5k rpm triumph power dip. It was there on my speed triple and is there in my 765 rs as well. I DID manage to dial it out using tune ecu. Apparently its an emissions thing with the stock maps. Can't do anything on the RS since the ecu is locked out and I'm not getting a pcv because the bike is epic otherwise. Sport mode does take it away, but its super noticeable in road mode. Thanks. I used to think I'm crazy or cursed with weird bikes

[@nuklear41]

Just bought a 2016 yesterday. I'm 6'4".....It's a bit cramped but still not terrible. I love this bike.

[@ClayAllred]

Thank you for having experience and not being a brand new preachy rider. Good insight. Well done.

[@oshkoshbjosh986]

Aw man this video takes me back used to live around there and ride those roads too!

[@0BuLLeT01]

Great vid! I really enjoyed the sense of humor and your style of editing. Nice riding as well, like others have said, you clearly know those roads and was able to put the bike through it's paces nicely. I've decided on a Triumph as my next bike, but have not had an opportunity to ride a post 2012 Daytona yet. A friend of mine has a 2013 Street Triple which I enjoy riding immensely. My draw to the Daytona is the narrow body which I think will be superior for traffic. Soooo... Gun to your head: As an every day bike, commuting and weekender, would you choose this Daytona or your wife's Street Triple? (Both would be 2013 - current model)

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thanks for the comments! Oh man that is such a hard choice. You're absolutely right that the Daytona is better for splitting lanes, because it's narrower. The wider bars on the Street Triple tend to align with car mirrors so you can't easily get through gaps that the Daytona would sneak through. I would lean ever so slightly towards the Street Triple, since it's more versatile. My wife rode a 1400 mile road trip on the Street Triple, I don't think I'd attempt such a feat on a Daytona (maybe when I was younger). I really want to build the best of both worlds... take a Street Triple and buy a crashed 675R and swap the engine and suspension onto the Street Triple. ;)

[@yzfkid2538]

Here befor your youtube channel blows up

[@zr9115]

Nice work! Great scenery, bike, commentary, video... subbed.

[@BTrain-is8ch]

The tank is probably designed that way for racing. Once you put on raised, aftermarket rearsets you can get everything lined up properly. Dunno why the ST3 would get designed the same way though.

[@zachknuckleheadwaller2067]

first video i have seen of urs and gotta say i am now a new subscriber really like the way u vlog u keeo it interesting

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thanks! Lots more videos coming soon!

[@JQiRamos]

Do you add any post processing to your videos by any chance? the colors look so rich, it's almost cinematic. Tremendous video. Subbed!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thanks for the comments! I did a little bit of color grading in post, mostly on the GoPro clips in the intro. Everything else was just a quick levels adjustment and minor color correction in Adobe Premiere.

[@Peskarik]

SUPER video, especially the beginning! What camera and mike do you use, I cannot get that clean sound on my Drift Ghost-S is crap. BTW, I own 2014 Daytona non-R (amongst others, I have superbike as well) but with quickshifter and I love it. I only ride it in alpine hairpins (I am based in Switzerland). :-) Is that your wife at the end of the video riding passenger on the back of Daytona? :-) She is fun!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thanks! ;) For the on-board video portions I'm using a GoPro Hero 4 Black with my Sena 20S helmet communicator and Sena GoPro Bluetooth backpack. That is my wife at the end of the video ahead of me on her Street Triple. With the Sena GoPro setup you can record the voices of anyone the helmet communicator is connected to as well. Enjoy the bike and those amazing alpine roads!!

[@Peskarik]

Thank you. I gotta get me that Sena 20S. Though I do not know who I would talk to, my girl, unfortunately, decided to give up biking. :-( Women on bikes = awesome, congratulations! I enjoy all my bikes, even my 2002 CBR600F, after gearing change and suspension upgrade it still has it. Daytona is just so much more modern. The 1000cc machines are great as well, I have those as well, and tried most of them (S1000RR, RSV4 Factory, new R1, 1299S Panigale, etc, also F3 800, 899 Panigale, CBR1000RR with full Bazzaz) but the supersports are still the most fun to ride in the twisties, because they are easier, and, as you said, one can use the rev range so much more. Therefore, I found you video the best so far, the riding is good, the scenery is breathtaking, the sound is crisp, the bike is magnificent, what you say agrees with my experience, the woman on a bike is awesome...I put this video on my personal blog. Best Wishes!

[@sparklife3937]

Great review. Great audio, clean video and informative. Subbed. :)

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you!

[@christophersmith8850]

Nice review on the 675r. I find if I sit back on the seat my knees line up good with the tank cut outs and tech spec grips. Especially in full tuck positIon. These are great motorcycles and he nailed the pretty much all the key points of this model. I wouldn't borrow anyone's bike though, but I had to learn the hard way with that....

[@Sunedosa]

Ideally even the full system map should be optimized further with the aid of either bazzaz or PC5 together with a dyno and a competent tech. Fueling is near perfect on my non R 2013, i have none of the mid 4k issues you mention. Mine is equipped with Austin Racing slipon/MJS header+PC5 with custom map+BMC filter. Nice review, subbed .

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Yeah for sure a custom tune is always best! On my old '07 D675 I had a custom tune done via Tuneboy and a local well known dyno tuner. There's actually an old video of that on my channel here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6SoXmtrqLysl6c

[@SineOccasu]

Out of curiosity, how much does a custom tune cost?

[@Sunedosa]

SineOccasu Mine was 300$ but that of course changes depending on location.

[@SineOccasu]

Sunedosa Indeed, thank you.

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Yeah I would say expect to pay $300-500 depending on who's doing the tuning. So worth it!

[@46ace]

Nice review! Useful final comments re: liter bikes and track time. And no stupid house "music". Thanks for posting!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you!

Damn your a really good rider love your vids! Subbed!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you! A lot more content on the way!

[@seventysevencats]

Great review and you mentionned a very interesting point. This is the number one bike on my wish list but as I'd certainly go for an older model, I'll have to check the ergonomics.

[@mod661]

Hey - as below, great quality. What camera and mic set-up do you use? Thanks! Nick

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thanks! The on-board shots are from a GoPro Hero4 with the Sena GoPro pack connected to my Sena 20S helmet comm. Exterior shots are from a Sony a6300.

[@drvibesmusic]

l gotta say that this in my humble opinion is one of the best (or best!) reviews of this 675RR l've seen and l've watched 99% of them believe me! lm very impressed, because the Daytona is an excellent bike, but l learnt more about it from this rider than from 15-20 other combined reviews. The petrol tank knee grooves are a key point, its engines fuel performance and engine braking are specifics which are also very important too. l have committed to buy a Daytona as soon as l am blessed with the finance, but my full respect goes to you for providing honestly one of the best and most intelligently helpful bike reviews l've seen on KZbin and l've watched hundreds. It is this type of applied logic and experience that saves riders lives. My dad rode bikes in the Police force and l got the bug from watching him, he still rides and lm looking to get back into the saddle too. This video has inspired me more and l think a lot of us have truly enjoyed it. l would love to see you on the Aprilla please as l've always loved those bikes too...enuff respect to you!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Best of luck with acquiring your Daytona, I'm sure you will love it! I'm currently working on a whole series of videos about the Aprilia, so stay tuned! Thanks again.

[@MuhammadHaroun]

the most beautiful bike review i've ever seen. The roads were great bike was awesome and review was good.

[@adamstratford6740]

Great review dude i myself ride a 2013 Triumph Daytona 675R and echo everything you have said its class leader by far over the rest of the super sports as it comes with such high spec goodies and definitely with the right rider will keep up with the bigger boys through the twists truly awesome machine 👌Adam 🇬🇧

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thanks for the comment. Ride safe!

[@seanwil545]

Very nice video...675R is certainly atop my bike list.

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Same here, and now is a good time to snag one for a good deal if you can find a dealership with a leftover one since they've been discontinued!

[@kdar93]

Awesome bro where is all this at? Love the ocean view and the twisty 🤘🏻San Diego area?

[@ManoharSingh-dg8ih]

awesome, Do you like this more or 6R?

[@zkillergt]

The tank cut outs are perfect for my 34" inseam. I could see how it could be an issue for a shorter rider though.

[@awesomeagnihotrisvlog]

LOVED THE REVIEW...GREETINGS FROM INDIA.

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you!

[@j.h.237]

Nice channel man you’ve earned a sub

[@TheWyldeTide]

great quality video. I'm surprised you don't have more subs. you have 1 more.

[@theincrediblesulk5543]

Great review bud, I'm stuck between the MT10, previous gen R1 and the Daytona as my next bike what are your thoughts on the three ? I'm 5ft 8 bike will be for weekend fun

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Daytona is hard to beat! In that crowd I'd say it's the best looking of the 3 and potentially the most unique if that's your thing (I usually like having something different than what everyone else has). Can't go wrong with any of them though. The MT10 is a weapon! Not a huge fan of the looks though, but that's just my opinion. Good luck choosing, I'm sure you'll love whatever you end up with!

[@theincrediblesulk5543]

TheFlyingGoat cheers for the input, same as you love the MT10 just can't get on with the looks. So Many good second hand options especially the 636r or even the MV f3 all come in that price point soooo much choice haha

[@johnsumser1672]

I have an 08 Street Triple and the knee pads are just right. (I'm also 5' 10".) I have noticed that I have started sitting closer to the tank so perhaps that is it -- if you scoot back your knees go lower.

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Good advice!

[@woodburymoto5267]

bear with me if somebody asked before, what's the camera you are using? that surely looks pretty stable and detailed in image.

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

The onboard shots are from a GoPro Hero 4 Black and everything else is shot on a Sony mirrorless (similar to DSLR) camera, the A6300.

[@halfhalfsg]

hey this is an older video but how would you compare the older daytona 675 versus the daytona 675r ? I'm interested in buying one but can't decide which, Thanks in advance!

[@DaMaX74]

Very good unbiased review Chip 👍👍.

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thanks!

[@icarus78530]

What do you use to record your video ? The video quality is stunning !!!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

GoPro Hero4 for the on-board and a Sony NEX-5R for everything else.

[@aaronarman89]

great vid. is this in 60fps? looks like it is, but youtube doesn't show that it is 60fps?

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thanks! It's 30fps. The slowmo in some of the slider shots was originally 60fps but slowed down to match the GoPro and other clips all at 30fps.

[@goga950]

Interests which oil you change in your 2015 ,675r ? Thanks because I have a 2016 and I change motul v300 10w40 when I start I have a problem with cam chain tensioner just a 2 sec rattel

[@SineOccasu]

The sound on those flybys tho!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

I've got another video coming soon of just the flybys and such too. :)

[@ghlibisk67]

Where are these roads you were bombing? Asking for a friend new to SD ;)

[@colink2000au]

Good ride! Must play that drinking game again! Keep the vlogs coming!

[@dakoolguy111]

I'm torn between getting an r6 or a 675r... can anyone comment to which one would be a better choice for street and fun riding? I've heard the r6 is more comfortable than the daytona and while I realize they are race bikes, if that's true and the daytona is just unbearable to use and be on then I would choose the r6. Can anyone comment on which is better?

[@harikrishnanvinayakam7191]

nice sound and performance. I love this bike

[@fortyfour1654]

Great review flying goat! I'm curious to discover which would you prefer as a track only weapon...your tricked up RSV4 with effortless grunt, sublime handling but a touch heavy... Or a lightweight flickable 675r , but tuned to say supersport spec of 140bhp?? I'd love to hear your opinions on this dilema!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Oh man that is such a hard question. You know what they say about power... it corrupts! ;) The best part about the middleweight bike at the track would be that it's not as intimidating. Holding the throttle wide open and trying to force yourself to keep it pinned right up until you need to brake on the RSV4 (or any 1000cc bike) as you accelerate violently towards the corner is hair raising to say the least. But that spinning the tire and then having it power wheelie as the tire hooks up is an intoxicating experience. Tire budget would certainly be cheaper on the the 675, and you'd go through less fuel. I think the issue you'd run into with a supersport spec 140bhp 675 is that you'll be spending a lot of money to refresh the motor once a year, compared to the stock (albeit Italian) reliability of the RSV4. Why can't we just have both?!? I realize this doesn't answer your question at all, but it explains why I just want a bigger garage and more bikes...

@TheFlyingGoat where is that road starting at 2:40?

[@atticus27]

What mic do you have and gopro mount at? Great editing man!!

[@atticus27]

What canyon road is that? so beautiful!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thanks! For audio I'm using the Sena 20S helmet communicator along with the Sena Bluetooth GoPro Backpack. The GoPro is mounted to the chin area of my helmet with a few articulating arms (since the shape of my Shoei doesn't allow for a simple chin mount).

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

A couple different roads in the video, mostly Highland Valley Rd and Sunrise Highway, both in San Diego, CA.

[@mohammedalshaikhli3891]

Got this bike after having a 07 cbr600rr and felt I'm a better rider right away.

[@Dominator775]

This or my 4th r6? Great review, love socal

[@ghislainkouassi916]

please give the sound generique name of this video ??

[@MsAhlexusP]

awesome video, what video making software are you using if you don't mind sharing? also whats the name of the font for the Daytona

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thanks! I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro. I found the Daytona logo on brandsoftheworld.com it was vector artwork not a font that I'm aware of. Brandsoftheworld is great, it's been pretty rare that I've come across a logo I needed that they DON'T have there. Super helpful.

[@MsAhlexusP]

well life has taken an unexpected turn and my 2015 Triumph Daytona 675R ABS is up for sale. if your interested, just shoot me a message for details

[@TheSam67]

Have you ever ridden an R6? The 675r has been kinda like my dream bike. You had me a little worried about taller people riding. I'm 6 foot 4 and I seem to fit well on my 08 r6. Really hoping to be able to get a 2012 or better 675r. Anyways, if you have ridden an R6 from 08 or up, can you think of any big differences? If not, all good, awesome video!

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

I think if you fit OK on the R6 then the 675R will be just fine. I believe (if the ergo specs I'm seeing online are correct) that the 675R has a taller seat height as well as a slightly longer reach to the bars, which makes me think it's a tad more roomy than the R6. I think the biggest difference you'd noticed between the R6 and Daytona is mid-range power, the R6 seems to make most of it's power very high up in the RPMs. Thanks for the kind words!

[@SweDownhill]

Amazing video of an amazing bike.. Instant subscription =D Keep up the great work.

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you!

[@BL00MYB0Y]

Nice. I have an 09 Daytona which I would like to change for the newer shape at some point. I absolutely love the blue and white (which I have at the moment) and this colour mat black and red. I keep looking but there just aren’t any around for sale that are any where near where I live. I’ll keep searching, I have no rush as I love my current daytona👌

[@MrAndrew1953]

Looking forward to a review of the 2019 Triumph Dayton. Peak power on RS Speed Track(Street) Triple at 8RPM plus ruins it as a road bike for me. Hooligan days long gone. Hope Triumph haven't ruined Dayton. Comparo with 2019 CBR500R would be good.

[@motodeebs511]

Absolutely unreal scenery and video quality. Guys like me considering the Daytona prefer you talk your head off over listening to nothing for 15 minutes. Tell us everything you possibly can about the bike!! Cheers!

[@styrishlewis8430]

nice review... but why does he sound similiar to levelcap?

[@Ryan-fz7vs]

Pick up a 675 this week and I'm in SD, be cool to meet up for a cruise sometime brother. Ride safe!

[@jerichom11x]

Though the tank grip issue might be fixed if you grow a few more inches

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

No doubt! Which makes me think it would also be fine for shorter riders with aftermarket adjustable rearsets as well... or just a bit more tank grip tape.

[@zachwilson6365]

Love my D675 (even though not R-spec, she can still get down!) Nice review. Subbed.

[@Alexander-fu1zd]

Great review and awesome bike. Subbed 👍🏼

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thank you!

[@doubleaaaron]

What trouble did you have with your Daytona?

[@ridderc97]

Awesome review! Nice B-roll btw ;D

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Thanks!

[@Prigozhyn227]

7:52 Yes I am 6'2" how did you guessed that!!!! Also which bike will be more suitable then for the height such as mine.. ?

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

KZbin telepathy plugin! ;) Any of the naked sport bikes will feel a bit roomier for tall riders, since the footpegs will be typically lower (less cramped knee angle) and upright handlebars will keep you sitting more comfortably. That being said, if you're more into full fairing sport bikes being tall isn't terrible. Worst case you can get aftermarket rearsets and move the footpegs rearwards and/or down to make a bit more room. You'll have the advantage most of the rest of us never have, you'll be able to flat foot both feet on even the tallest seat heights!

[@christopherzylstra4007]

wow, an intelligent vlogger.... and the litre vs. supersport question is well addressed here.... the litres are frustrating in the ways that 991 Porsche Turbo S, ferrari 488, Z06, etc, are. Actually, the Porsche is a decent GT car and touring cars/bikes benefit in unique ways from big power - ways that dont necc. require even using it but that have more to do with the engine overall characteristics, like being very 'long legged' for example...... But for 1000cbr's and corvette z06's, there are no street or even highway conditions in which you can use the performance in a way that actually brings your own skill, or even the car's abilities, into the equation. A quick pull doesn't count and even those.... few and far between. I've come to realise that if you want to enjoy motoring and develop as a driver that you need more suspension and less engine. This is such a profound truism that it stretches across the full motoring gamut. It is as true in auto street circuits and F1 tracks as it is for 4-wheel rock crawling and two-wheeled track or street riding, but manufacturers give us the reverse in almost every single example you can think of - mostly because we don't really understand this and because we think it's easier to add aftermarket handling performance than engine power performance. However true this might have been in the past I would argue that it is not the case today. Regardless, it's so much more fun to be close to using the full powerband all the time so long as your skill and suspension support it - which is another important point - you will become a better driver/racer in this scenario and as a result of this very fulfilling experience, have more fun. You'll also break fewer parts. Of course, competitively, all of this is not strictly true, I understand, but I hope the point is interesting enough to stay lodged in people's cranium so the next time it comes up you think, "hmmmm, I've heard that twice now".... thanks for the great look at this bike. I'm really interested in supersports, and big torque too, but for torque I like the touring version of the KTM super duke 1290. What a ridiculous sentence - a "touring version" of the Duke? Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and he's built me the perfect touring bike, although it turns out his name is der Weihnachtsmann. Now that I'm in my early 40s the greatest thing about big power is simply knowing it's there, but hardly ever using it. It's perverse, I know, but the not using it part really is critical to the pleasure. Probably Americans can relate when they think of the arsenal they have backing them up. You know that the reality of having to use it would be very, very ugly. Yet you're comforted knowing If things ever got nuts you wont have to rely totally on diplomatic falderal, you could always just test one of your own ICBMs, then destroy it mid-flight with an airborne missile-killing laser mounted in the nose of an Air Force 747. Look, I never said it was a rational way of thinking, just a powerfully seductive, inherently dangerous one (or at least I did now). But the 'sewing machine on crack' sensation also holds seductive power over me so I'd like to have a fully faired 600 that will get me actually dragging a knee one day, then itself go ballistic - singing away at 15k revs. Since it'd be a toy I have no issues buying a used 3 year old bike, but I'm leaning straight 4 instead of the Daytona triple. thnx again, really great stuff.

[@JBernier2000]

Sounds so good. Quick shifter? I just saw that NCHM has a blowout on that same bike. Leftover 15' under $10g's. It's on my short list.

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

Wow, that is a great price! Do they have a white one?!? ;)

[@JBernier2000]

+TheFlyingGoat not sure. Give them a call, they were blowing them out though. The white is sick too. But that flat black... So good, like your Prilar

[@SquarePenix.]

Lovely scenery! Which Super Sport would you recommend for someone upgrading from an entry ninja 300? For street riding. Need something forgiving and with abs to save my ass

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

The Daytona makes a great street bike since it has a good amount of midrange power, so you don't necessarily need to rev it way out to make it go (like a R6 for example). If you're looking for mostly a street bike the Street Triple is really a better bike, IMO.

[@mikej5337]

at 3:50 were you in 1st or 2nd gear when you did that power wheelie?

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

I believe that's a 1st gear corner, so the wheelie started in 1st and you can hear I shift to 2nd and it stays up (gotta love quickshifters!)

[@coffeetoride5800]

damn I love that bike is it komfortable enough for a longer tour? nice video thx

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

It's pretty comfortable for a sport bike, but there are obviously better/more comfy bikes for touring. I did a couple 200-300 mile days on my old Daytona and it wasn't too bad.

[@hossamghaly2755]

how comfy this bike is in long rides? what is maintenance cost , is it equal to Japanese bikes ? i heard it is very hard to find parts and it stayed in the shop till they get from England ? great review . thankx

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

For a super sport bike it's pretty comfortable. Maintenance cost is going to be similar to Japanese bikes. Major services are every 12k miles (valve adjustment check) which I believe is the similar to other makes. I've found that parts cost is similar as well, cheaper than other European bikes for sure. Our local Triumph dealer (Rocket Motorcycles in San Diego) has been great and they keep all commonly needed parts in stock, and Triumph has a US headquarters in Georgia (I believe) so if anything needs to be ordered the wait is usually just a week at the most. I suppose if you need something that isn't in stock in the US warehouse the wait would be longer, but we haven't run into that issue so far.

[@hossamghaly2755]

thankx

[@NinjallenC]

This will most likely be my next bike.

[@FlyingGoatMedia]

You'll love it! Ride safe and have fun!!

[@rozaimieyaakob3359]

How much the price now?
