Well this what two trail bikes look like, when sold.

What a blast.
Went for a Triumph RAT ride and ended up riding this most of the day.
I was thinking about buying a Speed Triple and for some reason I kept going back to this bike.
1/ I did not want a Black bike as they have to be cleaned all of the time.
2/ I did not want a fairing as a naked bike can slow you down a bit.

So for those of you that are just use to seeing me on the KTM and Guzzi's.
And see a strange rider wave, it could just be me.:innocent:

As much as I like the street/speed triples, I think you have made the right choice with the Daytona.
The extra grunt, and wind protection will confirm that over the next few months of riding. Enjoy.

You'll love the triple.
The best bike engine out IMO, suits my riding perfectly.
They howl, rather than scream like an inline 4 when cranked out.

So why this and not a 675?

Not if you paint them with blackboard paint they dont :)

nice one, old man got the same model in yellow. it is alot more sporty than the older 955i. To me it felt strange getting on it as i'm so used to sitting upright on my bike

Wahoo! nice one! :D

Thank you J see you for a ride soon

Looking at a slightly louder exhaust so I can hear it hum.


Ohhhh Nice bike! Must be SDU,s turn for a new toy now!

You can shut up:bleh: She still loves her V11 to much at the moment.


Nice mate. Same motor & colour as my Tiger.:2thumbsup

Thanks and it had the motor I wanted and I will get use to cleaning it.


As much as I like the street/speed triples, I think you have made the right choice with the Daytona.

I think that you are right, if I can keep my licence.


You'll love the triple.
The best bike engine out IMO, suits my riding perfectly.
They howl, rather than scream like an inline 4 when cranked out.

I have noticed that and still pull a bit like a twin.


Nice one - congratulations on the new aquisition! :D :yes:

Thank you and see you soon for a ride as well


YUm yum...:drool: very sexy little number!! :niceone:

Hubby had one and loved it. I bet you will too!

I do and I do like the colour, just not all the work to keep it looking good.
A small price to pay.


Issshh... That one sided wheelbarrow handle just has to go!!

So why this and not a 675?



Not if you paint them with blackboard paint they dont :)

I rode a 675 and they are a great bike and I did like it.
If I was only going to ride in the hills I would buy one.
But i think I would all ways want a bigger motor as I have never had a street bike with a motor smaller than a 750.
Must be making up for a small p....... I guess.


Nice choice of bike there and she looks great

The pipe I was thinking about and you could be right the K&N would finish it off nicely.

???? burn outs or wheelies.

I'm have not ridden laying down so much for a long time.
And does have the edge on power over the older ones.
