Triumph Daytona 675

The Triumph Daytona 675 has put top super sport motorbike engineers back to the drawing boards after it smashed the Annual Motorbike Competition of 2008 taking 1st place. Silky, compact handling, allied to kick-ass engine power and the sexiest howling exhaust note ever, make the Triumph Daytona 675 a real winner on the track, and road.

Daytona 675 Review

The Triumph Daytona 675's three cylinder engine is a masterpiece of compact simplicity and features a stacked gearbox, close ratio gearbox and high compression ratio of 12.6:1 – all of which adds up to giving the Triumph Daytona 675 a claimed 123bhp of throaty fun. The most impressive thing about the motorcycle is its broad spread of power and excellent fuelling system – a previous failing on other Triumph motorbikes.

There’s a factory race exhaust and matching engine re-map kit available for the Triumph Daytona 675 and details like the classy instrument cluster make the motorbike feel a cut above some other 600 sportsbikes. There is a pillion perch fitted, albeit a bit precarious, but one feature the Triumph Daytona 675 lacks is the fashionable slipper clutch.

The Triumph Daytona 675's narrow chassis, featuring frame spars set atop of the motor, rather than along the sides of the cylinders, gives you the impression you could be riding a grey import 400cc class motorbike. USD forks and a firm monoshock keep you focused on the delightful business of going fast aboard the 675, which is very easy to do. In a word, it is accomplished.
