Triumph 675R Review'd (Sponsored By Bridgestone)

[@ononewheellad]

Just bought the 2012 model. My goodness what a piece of bike. The best.

[@r1dutch]

Just bought mine three weeks ago. In nearly 30 years of riding and racing, I haven't ridden a better machine for it's intended purpose. Fantastic machine.

[@garylowe8601]

I agree with this very nice fella. great bike. I have ridden 1000cc bikes but can't enjoy them as much as a 600 or 750.

[@shiftyshamsk]

I have a 2010 underseat exhaust model. It goes like a bat out of hell. It's like being on a 125 with a 675 engine in it. It's going to get me banned one day. On the plus side it's not uncomfortable. You don't have your head pinned back trying to look out of your visor. I took a Tankbag and tail pack and went to Ypres Belgium on it in 32c heat. Never missed a beat. I did 2000 miles in 3 months...

[@Rncfbnx]

I always tell people to pick up a used 300 and just abuse it and still sell it for how much you bought it. So technically no money lost. In NJ all 300s are around 2-3k. 600cc are 4.5-6k then liter bikes are 6k and above in Craigslist. Depends too on mods and miles. I say get a 300 and practice for 6 months to a year. Then sell it and use that cash for a down payment. Then get whatever you want. In my case I went R3 then a 2017 Daytona 675R. The R3 was my older brothers bike. It’s a dream bike. So much torque, power everywhere and light as the R3. People say that same. But after you practice with the 300 get anything you want. You just need experience first.

[@liquifiedart]

This was the video I saw, which made me buy a 675R. I've had it a month from this writing. It's my first bike and it's been great. I'm 6'1" 220lbs (fit) and love it.

[@ErikEmstad]

Wait, did you say "Puhniggly"?

[@usbsol]

Pa-nig-aly 🤣

[@haydenshapcott]

😂😂😂😂😭

[@ZoneTelevision]

This bike is (THEE) Super-sport Mid-weight benchmark and is in a class by itself. IMO. The Chassis is unrivaled and the engine is the best of both worlds Vtwin and I4. The MVAF3 came up short. It is middle weight perfection and the Brits should be damn proud of this bike. Almost makes me wish I was British :P

[@shiftyshamsk]

I've the 2010 model. Been to France and Belgium this year on it. Tailpack and Tankbag. 600 odd miles in 4 days with temperatures up in the 30's. Never missed a beat or fail to start. 4 Italian bikes I rode with all boiled over. 675 is a great bike. 👍

[@kam1st971]

Wow!! I'm so glad this isn't a biased review! (sarcasm). If this gig doesn't work out you definitely have a job in marketing for Triumph!

[@bis711]

I have the standard D675 and it is so much fun, I'm tempted to fit the quick shifter but I don't need anymore encouragement to go faster, ha ha

[@a9653192]

bis711 I added it one! Since triumph has put majority of their parts and accessories at 50% off and my local dealer gives me an extra 15% off

[@jehugp55]

Passed 10,000 miles on mine two days ago. Everyday! I LOVE my 675 :D

[@hunkyleepickle]

if i can ever force myself to stop loving my street triple, and find a warm, safe home for her to go to, i'd love to trade over to a Daytona. Great review of an outstanding bike. Go Triumph.

[@motorcycleluke]

Massive difference - its an all new bike - new chassis - completely different handling etc - try them back to back - you would be amazed :-)

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

Thanks Edd!

[@Jurr3e]

"We invented the internet." ~Everyone.

[@therideR-vg5kc]

great review, I'm just in love with mine. I defiantly made the right choice. I've seen a few videos where the complained about the seat and I ride mine everyday for at least an hour. longest trip to date was 4 hours straight and seat isn't bad at all. my only complaint is they should have made the service reminder (wrench) easy to turn off if you service it your self. the dealer has to turn it off for you. but that's my only complaint so far. really awesome bike, if your thinking of getting one, get it.

[@francesboy2]

I recognise most of the shots in this video! it was recorded pretty close to me, kinda wish I was out on my Daytona at the time.

[@engasal]

hell yeah it's a good commuter. loving my base model commuter!

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

We won't tell him that, his head's big enough as it is!

[@PeterDB90]

Love the bike, but I wasn't aware the Theory of Evolution was now recognized as Law of Evolution.

[@superhands8041]

Well you've learned something then. Congrats.

[@PeterDB90]

phil bradley Certainly - that some people need to brush up on current science.

[@Candesce]

Peterbu18 Laws and theories are not the same thing. Laws are just a "this is what happens" statement. Theories are "why this happens". One does not supersede the other. The law of gravity versus the theory of relativity for example. The first is just a blanket "things gravitate towards other objects" whereas the second gives the mechanism for why that happens.

[@PeterDB90]

***** Either my school and college taught me the wrong thing or I did not understand what they taught me. A "theory" as a scientific term is very different from the colloquial use of the word - it's a degree of concept. Difficult to find the words, but it's basically a degree of how true a concept is and how often the concept is true. It starts with a hypothesis, which is nothing more than a guess that can be tested. After it has been rigorously tested and found to always (to our knowledge) be true, then it becomes a theory. The next step is "law" and a law is something that CANNOT be disproven. So yes, evolution is a theory, not a law, because while it has not been disproven, it is still possible to disprove it.

[@Candesce]

Peterbu18 A law is not the next step of a theory. Theories are the backbones of science as we know it. The theory of relativity is the foundation of physics, and the theory of evolution is equally the foundation of biology. Theories explain how and why. And yes, theories are ideas that have been so deeply tested by so many people that they have become de facto truths, until someone comes up with an even better and even more irrefutable theory at least. Theories are, in essence, explanations that makes so much sense that nobody can disagree with them, or at least that nobody else can explain any better. (I say that because even current theories such as the theory of relativity have a couple flaws but nobody's been able to come up with a better explanation yet). A law is just an observation. The law of gravity for example is a blanket statement that things are attracted to other objects, which yes, cannot be disproven, because it's just the way it is, but a law in and of itself provides no explanation for the mechanism of action, it's literally just a statement of fact.

[@Haitchpeasauce]

Own an '08 STriple, love it to bits. In a word: brilliant. Sees this video, now I want a '12/'13 Daytona. Can I have both?

[@adamstratford6740]

The Triumph Daytona 675R is every bit as good as luke says it is and some. Class leader by a mile and with the right rider will have some litre bikes looking over there shoulder 💯

[@slapamother]

Their*

[@kieranchamberlain6329]

Fantastic review. Addressed some points that many others don't make.

[@JustMeTalking]

Hey Luke, Still loving my 675R... I met you at Donington Park one day last year. Your a genuinely nice guy as well :)

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

Luke: Hey bro - good to meet you buddy! You coming to any track days this year?

[@JustMeTalking]

Bike World To Luke: Unsure at the moment if I'll do any track days this year. I get a lot of my biking fun from meeting up with mates in a non-competitive blast across country to some exotic location containing scantily dressed women on the beach, rather than blasting round and round in circles with sweaty blokes ha ha, maybe its just me :)

[@JustMeTalking]

Bike World To Luke : Having said that, I don't know how many exotic locations by the beach are left in the UK after the storms we've had this winter. Hopefully the roads aren't completely chewed up with the floods as well. Could be a tricky start to the year once the sun comes back out

[@LordBirch]

great review yet again, any plans to review the 13 std street triple?

[@diamonddog257]

Thanks Luke; you make great video, btw.....buddy has a '08 that he has tricked out...[and has to sell me, fast 'n cheap...]..- it looks unbeatable, and I know there is vast different engineering on '13... ...- but tell me, how much is stock '08 giving up to '13?...I'm on an Island off Canada, comparison shopping ain't easy...thx...I was 500" Cadillac Torque Spec. and built a [great] show V-Twin, but sportbike is new for me....-ands keep making your video! thx

[@Neofist123]

That Bike is so good, that the used prices are stable as hell after 3 years. I mean they cost about 10.000 Euro used

[@alexandrelanglois4678]

This is one of my favorte sport bike also! Great all around! Do give a try to the new Kawasaki zx6r 636 .. it is almost as perfect as this one but it has some electronique controls .. But the zx6r does not have the quick shifter option :( i have both and love em both

[@ALTMED]

you're an amazing reviewer. If this bike is being sold in my country I would be the first to buy it... oh, and BTW, Darwin's theory is still not proven :) cheers

[@motorcycleluke]

They were indeed great bikes :-) But Triumph has really, almost singlehandedly brought back the made in britain badge in the last few years - with this as the culmination! The standard 675 is ace, yeah minus quickshifter, ohlins etc - and a bit of carbon :-)

[@papalal2242]

Triumph ,triumph, triumph. What a bike triumph daytona 675r. I love you triumph & you are one of the best bike in the world. No other bike is as good as you are. From my heart i wish you so much. But in my life i only watch you on youtube only. So best of luck triumph daytona.

[@furyrc7201]

Don't give up on your dreams, work hard and one day the triumph could be yours.

[@MsAhlexusP]

papa lal you never know maybe one day like this one will come along. I just put mine on the market. 2015 T. Daytona 675R ABS for sale contact me for details

[@vmnkishore]

I own a 2010 daytona. Hate to say it but the new bike is a step back in terms of looks. I recently had a quick shifter installed and its seriously addictive. With an arrow end can, baffle removed, it sounds absolutely out of this world

[@Kalic5109]

i know this is an old video but the Daytona was out in 2003 with the 600 inline 4..... pretty good 1st shot at the japanese market

[@supersayin1]

Awesome vid brother!!!

[@markseale3235]

thanks for the advice mate do you really enjoy the Daytona? anyways ride safe be cool and greetings from south London UK

[@xcfan]

[@tommydillon4931]

I'm afraid I won't get one in time before there all gone , someone save one for me please

[@motorcycleluke]

Cheers bro!

[@MotoGraham]

Given the choice between this 675R and a Suzuki GSXR-750... what would you go for? I am torn.

[@aoiokaminari5284]

I have a gsxr750 and speed triple(which no, not a daytona 675, but still a 3 cylinder engine from triumph). I have to say the triple engine is a lot more fun in town thanks to the better(more torquey) low end. The gsxr also has a long 1st gear and doesn't shine until you get the rpm up. If you're going to be racing or on the track a fair bit the gsxr750 is a lot more satisfying to run constantly at speed, but for cruising/commuting the 675r will be way more fun. Better erogonomics too. Just my 2 cents.

[@MotoGraham]

Aoi Okaminari aw man! What you said is exactly what I was afraid of! I heard the noise from the 675R and loved it the other day, but really like the looks of the GSXR. I thought what you said might have been the case but it just makes the decision all that more difficult! Thanks for the reasonable and comprehensive response! :)

[@J3TPILOT]

Graham Smith if it helps any, I much prefer the looks of the 675R to the GSXR750. I have a DRZ400 motard and like Suzuki's so I'm not bias against them. The only problem with looks for me anyway is the single center headlight on the GSXR, I much prefer a sleeker 2 headlight design. If not for that I'd be really torn between both of these bikes, but at the moment I'm saving for a 675R, if a fuel injected motard doesn't tempt me first, the DRZ is great but I'd just love another gear and FI.

[@MotoGraham]

J3TPILOT1991​ I know exactly what you mean about the lights. I have an SV650 and really like the dual headlights on it. I think I've made up my mind that in the summer I'm going to go for a new GSXR 750

[@sevenrats]

+Graham Smith Street Triple! Riding is more fun naked.

[@diamonddog257]

I use a sub-surface lubricant in my Engines, Trannies, steering etc...to put it in this Project....wow....700 rpm at wheel difference?.. Buddy has already put titanium headers [2000$] trick forks [ 1.5 zillion$]...and etc. etc. etc. [ Fort Knox ]...You are a Good Mate: can you do a review of a Real Italian Bike- Moto-Guzzi California? ..I'm doing a trip on this Franken-Triumph, through every possible road condition 1500k.....Stay in touch, you make the best videos. thx.

[@tommyarmigettason]

Bike World: Would you go as far as to say that this would be a good starter bike (after taking classes and everything)?

[@kondroidschannel]

Susan I'm guessing you are joking but if not.........FUCK NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[@PastelitoPapi]

Susan That all depends on how mature you are.

[@Crazygamer154]

Susan Well, if you want to a wreck a nice and expensive bike. That's your choice.

[@tattude1974]

YES

[@roberts1677]

+Susan No. NO. And also NO! Start with something 250 or 300 or so cc. You will make mistakes. I did, and so does everyone else when they're just starting. Get yourself a Ninja 250, or CBR 250, or a 300. Learn on that for a few months, and then consider getting something faster.

[@markseale3235]

i have no previous biking experience and would love 675r. how long do you think i need to be riding before I can safely transition from a 300cc to the Daytona

[@NeverBetter0_0]

+Mark Seals323 I rode a 250 for about 6-7 months before I bought my Daytona. The bikes feel SOOOOO different, so it would be a good idea to just take it slow on the Daytona at first. I rode around a parking lot for about 30 minutes to get used to the throttle, but after that I was fine

[@totorosan8856]

[@Ryan_Harkin]

Never really rode motorbikes. Odd go on the mates field bikes, 125's 250's ect. More of a DH mountain biker. Thought fuck it I want a motorbike. Fell in love with the Daytona, booked a crash course. Passed within a month (UK) bought a 2015 standard (with quick shift) MY FUCKING GOD!! What a ride! I see a lot of people asking if this is too much bike for a first bike, I say definitely No. It's small, lightweight and fast as fuck (for someone who's only just passed that is, Mr 1299) You'd be selling yourself sort if you went any lower. Although good road sense is a !!!MUST!!! And don't expect anyone to see you. You can get to 100mph quicker than you can stop from 100mph!!! My mate bought an 08 zx10r the same day I bought my Daytona. He can't shake me on the bends I'm up his jaxy, and he's been riding years. The only time he really gaps me is when I start bouncing off the limiter, at about 160mph while he continues to 186. Even he's amazed at the Daytonas acceleration. Him and my other mate on his 600gsxr, on long rides are constantly stretching their legs. I haven't needed to at all, but that mite be just me.... I absolutely love it! The stupidly expensive mountain bike is collecting dust in my kitchen with a flat rear tyre lol.

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

[@kiddeath921]

dam this review now i don't know if i should get the street triple or the Daytona 675r XD

[@motorcycleluke]

hey - the new montser should be immesne, and the new KTM SuperDuke - wow! This is, in my opinion miles better than the 848, and kawi 636, buuuuuuuuuuut will be testing 899 soon!

[@SalmanJaffer007]

This is the 2013. Can someone change the title of the review please

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

Why do you say that?

[@shashankthegamer]

Dude the Ducati 848evo only looks good but its riding ergonomics are quite punishing also its a terrible street machine its oriented mainly for tracks n tracks only...its not just with evo its with almost every ducati..but if u choose speed triple or zx6r 636..u wont regret a single bit of it..both r very agile n street friendly machines..my choice would be kawi 636 btw..

[@motorcycleluke]

Yeah but ride one dude - you wont believe the difference, its kind of weird when you first ride the new one....but I think you will like it :-)

[@usbsol]

So 7 years after... whats better than this now?

[@MrMillander]

Nothing.

[@motorcycleluke]

the '13 bike is better - but the 08 model is still sweet only abotu 4 bhp down on power etc, and revs about 500 rpm less!

[@jolichja]

If only they would make a 375 version with 48 hp so I could ride one as my first bike!

[@roberts1677]

+jolichja Get a used Ninja 250. You can get one for cheap. They handle very well. Move on to something faster after you've learned that one.

[@jolichja]

+Robert S But thats just the thing I dont want a 100+ hp bike which ill never be able to actually use more then 20%... I want a bike that sounds amazing and which I can use to it's fullest on the road...

[@roberts1677]

+jolichja I said Ninja 250, not ZX-6R. 36 horsepower and a top speed of about a hundred. When I had one it spent a lot of time at WOT.

[@jolichja]

+Robert S why not suggest a ninja 300? but still no I want a bike with 3 cylinders because of the sound... that was what i was trying to say.

[@roberts1677]

+jolichja The 300 hasn't been out long, so there aren't as many on the used market. You can get a 250 in good shape for next to nothing.

[@YarekBalear]

TBH - I think the being proud to be British comments are a bit far - the Street Triple and older 675 already did that in spades. OK, Triumph appear to have turned it up a notch, but hey, they've hardly jumped out of the toilet and come up with this. On that note - a question - I take it the standard model is basically the same revamp without the quick-shifter and Ohlins? Am I right?

[@vikrambharati2151]

Good first bike?

[@daftmell5237]

" We pretty much invented the theory of evolution." Congratulations, take some microbiology classes. Compare the notes to Biology 2 or 3. Makes less sense then religion..... And that's saying something.

[@captainswoop8722]

From your post I am guessing you haven't taken any Microbiology classes. like Gravity is a fact and there are theories to explain it, Evolution is also a fact with a theory to explain it. We see it happening, that is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. It is also a theory. Evidence currently points to the idea first proposed by Darwin of Natural Selection, that is inherited characteristics render an organism more or less fit to survive in a given environment. With the discovery of DNA in the 1960s what is called the 'Modern Synthesis' was developed. This is now the basis of much of Biological Research. But as with all science it could be shown to be in error with the next piece of new evidence. So, a Rabbit fossil found in the Devonian or Jurassic Strata would disprove the current theory, or at least, seriously modify it. Just as a ball suddenly continuing to rise would cause consternation among physicists that study Gravity. Evolution is as near 'Proved' as any scientific theory will ever be.
