Triumph Daytona 675 Review (2006-2011) | FrontWheelUp.com

[@chasepetitt1522]

So VERY happy to see an up-to-date review on this beautiful bike. It's been hard to find and research the 2006-2012 (my personal favorite years) of the Daytona 675 and this video is very much appreciated! This is a great review on a great bike!! Thank you!!!

[@FrontWheelUp]

Thank you for the kind words. A surprising amount of work goes into making the videos so it's always really nice to hear that it'd appreciated! 🙏 It is a really awesome bike, I was well impressed with the one I rode! 👍

[@niteshvishwakarma6709]

Thank you so much for making this video… i can listen to whistle very clearly with the power its making!

[@FrontWheelUp]

Haha, really glad you enjoyed the video! 👍

I have black daytona 2008 with 40000kh ,and never change with anything else,is like new, nice review friend. Hello from Greece 🇬🇷

[@FrontWheelUp]

Thanks for the kind words - enjoy the bike!

[@hulkhogan9450]

Great video and history of the 675. I own a 2007 gen 1 daytona 675 to this day with only 9000km on clock. Have Kineo spoked wheels on it and numerous other parts and it still gets attention to this day. More videos like this are needed 👍.

[@FrontWheelUp]

Your gen 1 sounds awesome 👌 Thanks very muchfor the kind words!

[@mig3514]

Good starter bike?

[@FrontWheelUp]

A fantastic choice 👍

[@mig3514]

@@FrontWheelUp was looking to buy my first bike wasn’t sure if I wanted to start off with a 400 knowing ima eventually want to get a 600 so might as well start off with that one

[@davidheron1884]

You give a great range of info, and history, range changes, etc thanks

[@bert-janvandenbrink757]

The shift lights are programmable. Normally the shift lights come on in the high rev range to let you know you're about to hit the rev limiter. The owner must have set it to 5k rpm for some reason, maybe because of fuel efficiency? Also the thing on the left in the dashboard is nog a fuel gauge but a temperature gauge:)

[@FrontWheelUp]

That makes sense now regarding the shift lights! Many thanks for the info 👍😀

[@colins5142]

‘11-12 675R was the pinnacle of the Daytona 🥵🥵🥵 absolute perfection

[@FrontWheelUp]

Hopefully I'll get the opportunity to review that version soon! 🙂

[@colins5142]

@@FrontWheelUp come to the US and you can use mine. Took me 8 years to track one down

[@dallaBH]

I have a 2011 witch I love .. I live near kielder .when your pushing the bike on i could ride it all day.. after I took it round the lake District riding slowly I could quite happily thrown the bike in a ditch.

[@FrontWheelUp]

Haha, I live in the Lake District and feel like that most days....the traffic is horrendous at times

[@what2watchyt]

I had a 2006 in yellow, you made my day with this video. the bike its self beautiful but dangerous.

[@FrontWheelUp]

So glad you enjoyed the review, it's an awesome bike for sure. Now the weather is picking back up ill be reviewing more bikes, I really want to do a 675R to compare

[@JustWrightHD]

How'd it dangerous

[@martiangod]

@@JustWrightHD I've never ridden the 675 but if it's anything like the mt09 the mid range fun just makes you want to nail it all the time and it's risky when the front end lifts effortlessly even in third, I doubt it lifts so easy on this though

[@30NLF]

Got the 2016 675R and love it but the old ones do look really special. Lovely bikes

[@FrontWheelUp]

Awesome, I'm hoping to get hold of a 675R to compare it to in the New Year.

[@v.e.s2884]

I have the 765 limited addition Corbin fiber is a 2020 I love it I race against 1000cc ands she so there or better against those super bikes

I have a 2006 675. I love mine so much 💚

It's an awesome bike, I was really impressed with the one I reviewed. Enjoy 😉

I have a 07. Probably one of my fav

[@andy_k8930]

Hi i recently passed my test is the triumph daytona 675 a good bike to start out on?

[@saifaldin_]

Yes.. and no. It’s easy to control the power - very smooth down low. The torque is not too crazy but does come in early and in a linear manner. It’s a fast bike that’s also easy to ride slow. Not ideal for beginners in the sense that the riding position is very aggressive (even more aggressive than most 1000cc bike’s i’ve compared it to). So for beginners, it might feel a bit awkward. I also think that a more ‘standard’ riding position is more beneficial for the learning process - practicing slow speed stuff, technical corners etc. It’s also more forgiving on your body (more hours for practice) Ultimately, it depends on rider height and weight as well. If you’re tall enough, the ergonomics of this bike might not be a hindrance to you. I’m a small guy, and I’ve ridden a daytona daily for the past 8 years or so.. it’s quite comfortable for me (well, up to 4 hours at least) But i don’t think i’ll be comfortable on it if it was my first bike.

[@kylejf9059]

Nice review and echoed what a lot have said, but it was good to see it in the UK - mid range power. Thanks, got yourself a subscriber 👍🏻

[@FrontWheelUp]

Thanks for your kind words! It's an awesome bike, I really enjoyed spending the day with it to make this review.

[@duncancreed8118]

Brilliant review 👍

[@raz0116]

i have the same bike in a 2011 im loving it. where do you find the fuel guage cause i cant find it on mine

[@tonybruce]

There isnt one.

[@PhrozenPhlanges]

Nice bike, I have a 2010 LE in Tornado red, had it a month now

[@FrontWheelUp]

Enjoy! It's an awesome bike I had a great time spending the day with it to make this review

[@mikehoskin1674]

@@FrontWheelUp its more fun to ride than my R6, but my 2021 MT09 is the most fun out of my 4 bikes incl a 2017 sv650

[@niteshvishwakarma6709]

The only monster that whistles throughtout its rev range!

[@ianlawrie919]

Awesome bike, awesome review 👍

[@FrontWheelUp]

Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed it!

[@r.soclose]

How do I enter to win the bike?

[@FrontWheelUp]

The competition has ended sorry and the bike has been given away. The competitions were ran by JD Comps but sadly for the time being they aren't running any more competitions.

[@stevesas632]

Is the 2013 onward years more comfortable position, or exactly the same?

[@FrontWheelUp]

I haven't had chance to ride the newer version yet, though I can't imagine it would be a whole lot different in terms of comfort.

[@saifaldin_]

Not exactly the same, but not that different either… I would say slightly roomier but still the same in terms of the aggressive posture. I’m a small guy, but if i ride the twisties, my elbows still overlap my knees 😂 (2015 daytona)

[@JediMcFly]

Does this bike have a fuel gauge?

[@Brian-sn3hn]

It only has a fuel light. The 2013+ models have a fuel gauge.

[@michaele5173]

Has anyone actually measured the seat height? When I look up specs I see everything from 32.5in to 34.1. I've read that it's really tall and I've read it's somewhere in the middle of all the Japanese bikes. I've read that you sit in it and I've read you sit on top of it. Basically, everything I've read is conflicting lol. I'm looking at getting one mainly for trackdays but I will be using it on all day rides on occasion and I don't want a super aggressive riding position.

[@stevesas632]

I've just bought a 2017 675, I'm 6ft1 with a 33 inside leg, & it's just about right for me to the ground. Compared with my old ZX7R I'm more sitting on it, than in it as with 7R. I notice upper back & neck ache after about an hour but better on my wrist compared with 7R. Feels much quicker to respond with everything, throttle, gears, brakes & steering.

[@Jack-vi8kh]

I have a 2009 Daytona 675 and I tippy toe on it. But I am only 5’8 so not to bad if you’re taller.

[@NiPLucky]

how tall are you ? I'm considering this bike but I'm 6'1

[@FrontWheelUp]

I'm approx 5'10. The 675 might feel abit small for you, I found my knees were sitting quite high on the bike I rode for the review. With that being said, it's a really fantastic bike...I could only suggest arriving a test ride so you can see if it works for you.

[@RobzTelecast]

I've had my 2011 675 since September last year and I'm also 6 foot 1. I find it fine, longest journey has been about 6 hours by which point yeah it was pretty achey but honestly I think if you're used to sports bikes (like I am) you shouldn't have too much trouble with it

[@jonobester5817]

please God, Put a Triumph Triple in my life 🙂

[@FrontWheelUp]

I want one too!

[@terrycolley6482]

Disappointing that he presents the history so confidently when it's clear he's not researched it properly and hasn't gone beyond reading Wikipedia. His telling is littered with misinformation and omissions that, judging from the comments, are being accepted as the actual gestation of the platform which is simply not the case. To completely ignore the influence of the T595 and then to suggest the Daytona 675 was in someway a development of the TT600 platform (simply because they built a couple of mules in chopped up TT frames) is just plain wrong.

[@FrontWheelUp]

I can only apologise if something is incorrect. I'm not a journalist, just an enthusiast sharing my understanding and opinion.

[@terrycolley6482]

@@FrontWheelUp Thank you for being civil in your response to my post. I don't mean to disparage you personally only to raise awareness that your understanding, and thus your history lesson, is somewhat lacking. Though they don't include the birth and development of the 675 series you might enjoy reading 'A Phoenix from the Ashes' a short piece by Julian Ryder. Triumph's own in-house videos, 'Building on a Heritage' and 'Triumph is Back' (which are probably on KZbin) are also worthy of a little of your time. If I can find a link to the development team's story of the 675 platform I'll edit it in later.
