Is it any good? Triumph Daytona 660

[@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.

[@holthuizenoemoet591]

I still got the OG 675, and its crazy to see what a different bike this new daytona is, in my opinion they should not have used the same name. That said i do think this new one is a fantastic beginner one, and you will not be exhausted after a 50 min commute like with the 675.

[@speedfinder1]

Interesting review, thanks for posting! I watched the Japanese lady reviewer (Ruriko 675) who posted a video a few days ago from the same test on the same bike at the same media event. Her review was in line with what you say. It's comforting to know that your review was a "Measured" look at this new bike and you experience was properly representative. 👍🏍👍. BTW You were a LOT easier to understand as my Japanese is very limited! 🤣🤣.

[@AntiParallali]

Ah that would have been cool to meet her! I think we must have been there on different days...

[@ReeseRides]

I love how they have different riding modes. An experienced rider might stay in one mode majority of the time, but for a new rider, the more tame modes would be great while they get comfortable with the bike/riding altogether. I feel like this helps those who want a bike to grow into since it's a throttle that won't constantly punish them during a learning period. Definitely still a bike to be respected, but I really like that more manufacturers are adding multiple riding modes. Gorgeous scenery. Thanks for sharing Lali! :D

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

Wooh another Lali vid! 💯 To my opinion if you have discipline and the other perks you mentioned you can start on any bike, modes or no modes. If you have self control and want to learn to ride proper, you'll ease into any power level of a motorcycle and adapt to it while growing with the bike. But to people who don't have that obviously don't get a bigger bike. EU's licensing system is a solid system but for one who has the discipline it's a hassle as well I can imagine. Area looked awesome, seemed awesome to ride. Really looking forward to nicer weather with more sun as well.

[@robbertdewal68]

The best first impressions video on the Daytona 660 I've watched. Plenty of info, and comparable opinions. Well done.

[@rbattson7171]

[@yasc_]

You can't really compare the Daytona 660 to a 600cc sport bike, because it isn't one. It's better comparable to a Ninja 650, CBR 650 R, GSX-8R or R7 in terms of performance. All of these bikes have about two thirds the power of a 'true' 600 and are less track focused since they share many components, including engine, frame and suspension with a corresponding naked bike. So basically they're all just versions of their respective naked bike but with fairings and a slightly more tucked riding position. And the Daytona 660 is perfect for a beginner rider in Europe, where I suspect this bike's key market will be. As a beginner rider in Europe you have either the restricted A2 license, like you said, or started out on a full A license if you're 24 or older. Most countries in Europe have far more intense training than the US in order to acquire a motorcycle license and you have to do your training on a bike that fits the class of license you're doing. So most of the new riders on a class A license have done their training on a bike similar to the Daytona 660 in terms of performance.

[@HRRRRRDRRRRR]

They're also ridiculously heavy. There is no advantage to it over even an adventure bike, more capable, more comfortable, very similar power-to-weight. Utterly pointless, at least something like an mt-07 has 20-25kg on all of these.

[@yasc_]

@@HRRRRRDRRRRR Yamaha claims a curb weight of 185 kg for the MT-07 and 188 kg for the R7 and Kawasaki claims 195 kg for the Ninja 650. The only ones that are a bit heavier are the GSX-8R and CBR 650 with 205 kg each, which still isn't abnormally heavy. An R6 for reference has a curb weight of 190 kg.

Thank you very much for your review on this beautiful Triumph Daytona 660 . A long time ago in the 80’s I went from a Honda 450 Hawk to a Ninja 600 in 1986 I was 19 years old and my height is 5’6. Never felt at ease on the Ninja and now that I watch your video I’m going back to riding bike 38 years after . I rode horses but I guess it doesn’t count 😜

[@barryhammond9839]

Great video! Always wonder how much beautiful weather and gorgeous surroundings affect bike reviews!!😊

[@nuttyDesignAndFab]

you're right about this being a higher frequency sounding engine than the R7; this is 3 cylinders firing evenly, so it'll have a tone of 3/2*RPM, while the R7's uneven 2 cylinders make the frequency you hear more like 1/2*RPM

[@akshay-kumar-007]

The segment is looking really impressive, with the entry of Daytona 660, GSX 8R, and Ninja 650. That inline triple engine sound just is music to years. Hope we could have these machines easily accessible in my country. Great video. Liked the casual approach to review, and not like other videos where people scream over their lungs.

[@thvtsydneylyf3th077]

[@Nils_Martin]

Triumph build great bikes, i've had a few over the years from from Daytona 955i to 1050 Speed Triple and last summer i borrowed the Trident 660 and damn that was a smiles per miles bike! I even asked her if she wanted to trade it for my ZH2 Ninja, i never the ZH2 but damn the Trident is a fun bike, and i can imagine the new Daytona is just as good. Which make me think perhaps i should trade my ZH 2 for a Speed Triple 1200 RR 🤔 Anyway brilliant video as always 👍

A new video from Lali is like when you get together with a good friend you havent seen in a while. You get a bit nervous that it may feel awkward.

I think the peg positioning is one of the bigger gripes I currently have with my MT-07. I've learned to avoid them at stops, but makes it so awkward to move forward or backward while sitting on it. Have to really waddle your legs wide to avoid the pegs.

[@triumphrider9796]

I started out on an RS660. I left it in low power mode for the first few months. No problems. I slowly turned the power up, and modded the bike. I have no regrets. Then after a year I bought something........a little bigger

[@TreyyDaMenaceFan]

they did the daytona name dirty with this sports tourer

[@NihonNoMajin]

Even though I'm a beginner rider (35 finally able to afford and got ome this year) i always believe you should just get the bike you want 😊. You just have to have a good mindset. No matter if its a 250 or 1000, if you can control yourself, respect the power, and stay calm you should be fine. My bike is a 2024 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT (hoping to get a 2024 Suzuki Katana if I can find one!), and its such a smooth ride! I don't really have the experience to give advice, but if you are one of those people that just want to rev up and gun, you probably should stick to a lower cc bike.

[@Ride_0n]

This bike kinda reminds me of the Ninja 650 (do they still make those). It wasn't a 600 supersport. Was sporty looking, but a little more upright in riding position and tuned down a bit. Not so twitchy. Definitely more suitable for a beginner than the ZX6. This seems to be Triumph's comparable bike in size and target audience. Seems like a good bike. The thing about a bike in that displacement range over starting on a 250, 300 or 400 is you're way less likely to feel like you want to upgrade to more power after a year of riding. 600+ will work for you for years.

[@rbattson7171]

Definitely a road bike, not a track bike, great engine, good value for the money. I have a trident 660, which is a great little scratcher, i like nakeds, so, am kinda hoping they put this engine and brakes into a series two trident, that would be ideal. Thanks for the video

[@gedocowboy8484]

Seems like a good 600 starter bike. Seems a lot tamer than the typical inline 4, more of a sports touring bike. It’s a good looking bike.

In some Countries in Europe they cut the Power way back for beginner riders and riders under 21 years old.. I think they call it A-2 or something. They don't have all of those restrictions in the USA.

which is probably why the safety record for motorcyclists in the US is way worse than in Europe.

do you like the sound of the 3 cylinder? does it look more like a screamer (4 cylinder) or is it more deep like a 2 cylinder?

[@micaKTM1290]

Not a screamer like a 600 cc supersport. The Daytona has about 93 HP, 600 supersports have around 120-135 HP

[@AntiParallali]

It's higher pitched than the R7 which is 2 cylinder...but doesn't sound excessively aggressive. Especially stock

Hey Lali, I am watching your biography in "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" Btw, I started on an 800, and I don't think it was ever scarier than what any lower cc bike would be. At speed, any cc can get scary really fast. That said, I totally agree with what you said: nowadays bikes are mostly pretty manageable with all the electronic configurations and whatnot. Great vid. Keep it up.

[@TheOnceAndFutureDoug]

What about someone like me where this is my second bike (coming from an SV650)? Am I going to find it much of a likeness or is that extra HP and torque going to make it just a bit more of a zesty ride? Looking to move away from nakeds to something with plastics.

[@yasc_]

Going from a SV650 to a Daytona 660 is more of a sidestep than an upgrade. Both bikes target a similar group of buyers. An upgrade from an SV would rather be something along a Yamaha MT-09, Triumph Street Triple, Ducati Monster, Kawasaki Z900 or similar. A true 600cc sport bike like an R6, ZX6R, CBR600 RR or GSXR600 would also be considerable step up, but these bikes will have a much more cramped seating position.

[@AntiParallali]

Agree with Yasc_. Especially think about comfort if you want a supersport like an R6, longer rides are awful on these bikes. The Daytona 660 is ergonomically comfortable.

When is this bike supposed to release? I’m about to pick up the street triple rs

[@exothermal.sprocket]

For motorheads, the word "clunky" or "clunkier" means you're talking about an old piece of junk. The difference between a triple and a twin is varied. Twins have about 5 different sounds and feels, depending on engine configuration. They produce throbbing and pulsing, a thudding feel/sound, it's part of the nature of a twin and it's endearing and fun, it produces a coarse beefy torque at low revs. A lot of people love that. Triple and fours are even-firing and produce power that is quite smooth (closely placed engine pulses) in torque delivery. The higher the cylinder count, the smoother the engine feels. Smooth engines can feel disconnected and dull to some people. Other people prefer it. Neither configuration is "better", it's just different.

[@biglez5555]

[@vyrizu9713]

idk it seems similar to a ninja 650, or Kawasaki z650, cause that bike would seem to be much slower than a 600 cc, mainly because of the seating position, i still dont recommend 600 cc bikes to any beginner, but this bike seems dope and very tame with the throttle, i have been riding awhile, but then went a long time without riding so i bought an mt 03, i should have bought something bigger, but i still love my mt 03, still plenty of power on highway

[@stank.nooner2987]

I think most beginners who would be buying a 600 sport bike don’t fall into the bracket of “I’m gonna put and keep this in rain mode” that selling point is lost on me! Either you trust the rider to manage their impulses or you don’t, modes aren’t the answer, mentality and education is!

That's true, but American riders are not as skilled as UK riders on the whole. They buy stupidly fast or large bikes and are too scared to ride them anywhere near to the parameters they are designed for. The safety record for UK riders is way better than it is over here. I started my riding in the UK in 1978 and moved to the US in 2002, so I've got a pretty good knowledge base for the comparisons. The bike test in America is also stupidly easy compared to the UK, even compared to when I passed my test in the early 80s. In Oregon it was a set of cone exercises in a car park and that was all you needed to pass in order to ride any bike you liked. One of the guys doing the test with me dropped his bike during the emergency stop and still passed. The grass isn't always greener.
