Triumph Daytona 675R First Ride Review | FULL SEND! 🤘

[@PetroHead]

Daytona 675R ...or... new Daytona 765? Comment down below..

[@koh_ker]

The old one, it has under-seat exhaust.

[@rudedog3529]

@@koh_ker Nah ....That's played out, by now and heavier , has more material.

[@gertjanweststrate7267]

For me always new type... but that’s only me😀

[@rudedog3529]

Would have to see the specs on the 765. The 765 Street Fighter has less peak hp than the 675 Daytona . They gave up about 2000 rpm when they went to the bigger motor. By their own specs, they have the 765 R at 122 hp and the 2016 Daytona at 128 hp. My 675 , with a combination of more power and plastic for wind resistance, was faster in the desert. 149 mph for the 675 and 138 mph for the 765.

[@koh_ker]

@@rudedog3529 Looks the best though

[@rudedog3529]

Note: the suspension is set a bit soft for the rough surface of Palomar. I like 30 to 35 mm in the front and 30 in the back. I weigh about 50 Lbs more than PetroHead. Would have taken some preload off the front, but this was a last minute event.

[@oaksoldier45]

Knew that was Palomar ! Too bad I live in PA these days.

[@adamstratford6740]

I used to be a Daytona 675R rider few years ago now and absolutely loved the bike what a machine 👌. It’s absolutely middleweight supersport number 1 no other comes close especially with all the premium parts bolted on 🔥🔥 Adam 🇬🇧

[@PetroHead]

Yea, which is why I love my 765 Street Triple. Same bike yet more comfortable for street use hence the name. 👍

[@gertjanweststrate7267]

Beautiful video, great sound especially from low rev to the high revs. That deep sound... love it! Stay safe grtz from🇳🇱

[@pauly1k]

This bike has given me more smiles per mile than any other bike I've had, and I've had 8 bikes in 4 years! The daytona will be a mainstay in my garage. Thank you for riding one.

[@PetroHead]

I hope to own one someday! Maybe @rudedog will sell me his? 😁

[@rudedog3529]

@@PetroHead I don't know about that one, but somebody back east got a screaming deal On a 2012 Aprilia with full Akra, ECU, and Ohlins forks for $ 6400. ( I sold on Ebay ) Bike was replaced with a 2020 Aprilia V 4 Tuono, Misano.

Lucky guy! He's got a whole stable of bikes, and lives right on the best driving road in San Diego!

[@kimmicalifornio8119]

What road and lake is that in the video?

[@badtolz2122]

Have a 17. Love it.

[@robbiewhelan]

What a garage that is !!

[@JMKGarage]

May I ask... how would you compare the 675r to your R6? Considering buying a 2020 R6, or a 2015 675r (very low mileage, still like new, and a few thousand less than the R6). What one would you recommend, and why? (Just to be used for the odd day trip, backroads riding, and maybe a few track days)... thanks

[@PetroHead]

I bought the R6 because quite frankly, it’s the best 600 race bike (there, I said it) but I’d buy a Daytona 675r in a heartbeat in addition to R6 If I could (financially and storage wise) Buy the Daytona.. it’s a fantastic race and road bike.

[@JMKGarage]

@@PetroHead thank you very much for this reply. That is what I am leaning towards.

[@JMKGarage]

I’ve ended up buying the Triumph and love it! Thanks again for your input.

[@PetroHead]

Awesome.. enjoy it!

[@CoryMp3]

Would you get a 675 or duc 959 if you only had one bike? Looking back on what you know. I test drove both last weekend. Still undecided.

[@PetroHead]

959.. but if it was the 959 vs 765.. 765 all day every day.

[@richardpearson4248]

Great video fantastic bike stay safe 🇬🇧👍🏻

[@PetroHead]

Thank you!

[@dantheman4861]

Hey man, how did you improve your riding skill so much in just a year or so?

[@PetroHead]

Sure.. but can you be a bit more specific?

[@dantheman4861]

@@PetroHead yea sorry. I mean throttle control. I have a hard time with my throttle. Im not progressive and tend to be jerky. Also braking, I can’t seem to brake progressively with the front brakes. One last thing is being too stiff on the motorcycle. I tend to get too stiff and not be moving as much as I should. I took the basic msf course but they didn’t help me as much as I thought they would.

[@anandantony2056]

Ozm video buddy

[@FPSR3ME]

What year is this bike

[@arride4590]

Nice bike.

[@FrankCastle694]

Serious rich dude vibes 😅

[@akent46]

Cob webs on the bike...... what were the tire pressures.....

[@PetroHead]

We pumped to 30/30 I think.

[@rudedog3529]

*Tire pressure was 22 psi, as set on a prior very cold day. Was set to 30 psi day of the video, warm weather.

[@UniqueAerial]

I'm sorry but there is NO FULL SEND in this video, PetroHead my friend its a great video but you seem very scared of this bike, or don't know the road??

[@PetroHead]

maybe full send to you means riding like an asshole.

[@maxwilson7051]

Your throttle control is more choppy then the Irish Sea pal.

[@PetroHead]

Sue me 😁

[@jridez__5935]

Aye it's lit

[@yellowranger-rz5uf]

He has placed the handle bar in very awkward position.. not stock settings...plz give an compro with 765 ....plz review the kawasaki z900 u will like love the bike. Cheers buddy lots of support and love from goa...

[@rudedog3529]

Handle bars are in relatively stock rotation, but are Helibars. They are about 1 inch higher in the grip area. I have a long torso with short arms, so they help me to sit up enough to see through the corners.

[@PetroHead]

@@rudedog3529 I was wondering about the height. As you saw in my video, I compared it to S1K feel in terms of ergo.

Where does this guy live? Asking for a friend

Why does your friend need to know?

A bit painful watching that... not smooth at all.

But you watched it all and loved it... Go Watch some more.

Lol Bro why you do this to me. I have a 2012 daytona 675r and a 2020 r6 R6 is better ;)

[@jamesdean7842]

@@Krayziedad sport mode traction controls Gear shift indicator. Faster smoother turns easier. More mobile. I'm actually about to sell my daytona 675r. Stopped riding it since I got the 2020 r6

[@rudedog3529]

@@jamesdean7842 The " turns easier " part can be a factor of suspension settings, which are adjustable. Faster remains to be seen. The 675 did 149 mph in the desert, compared to 138 mph for my 765 . My Kaw 636 also did 149 but may have a little bit more . Shut off early on that run. Might have to run the 675 against an R 6.

[@dakoolguy111]

@@jamesdean7842 are those the only reasons why you like the r6 over the 675r? I know the Daytona doesnt have traction control or driver modes but it does have a gear indicator and a fuel gauge which I like. Currently deciding between an r6 or 675r so any and all help is welcome!

[@PetroHead]

@Rude Dog.. at big willow, I got to 151 mph on the straight and had to brake. My modified R6 now weighs 395 wet and with QS and auto blip, no other 600 can touch it. At willow I was taking on liter bikes and passing them like they were standing still.

@@PetroHead my daytonas dash says 170 when I top it. R6 says 155 Don't know about the whole untouchable thing. I get my daytona cluster is off but r6 doesn't feel THAT much faster
