2004 Triumph Daytona

[SPman]

The 2004 Daytona has had a restyle for 2004 and the single sided swingarm is back!

 

Mechanicals are much the same as this year.

This looks nicer than the previous models (smoother)

Although by now you would think they would of put a better pipe on i to show the side sided swing-arm

Pity they have retained the rounded look when the 04 Daytona 600 is styled better

Oh I dunno. Every man, his dog, his kids and his accountant these days is going for the whole 'edge design' thing. I reckon it'll look pretty dated in another decade or so.

Swoopy curves have always been attractive IMHO. Dodge Viper, AM DB6, Ferrari Dino - still looking good and always will.

Although I can't think of any similarly styled bikes as an example... there must be some.

Sharp edges suck,round flowing lines always look good,after a couple of years sharp lines just look tacky an cheap.They tryed it in the seventys,it looked shit then an still does today.
The bike gives me a hard on.

I like it overall.

Call me old fashioned but the belly looks unfinished.

Curves vs hard edges? Two questions say it all.
1) Do you like women with sharp corners?
2) would you prefer sharp edges or rounded corners when it lands on you following a high side?

Read that Pamela Anderson vs Calista Flockhart.

Too round for me - shows its weight badly.  Doesn't even appear to have USD's on...arse end looks like the VTR end - too big.  Nice to ride tho - rode one in PNorth

Big dog,that second qestion made me think.
Ten years ago I had a Susuki GS850g follow me into a ditch following a high side,what I can remember about it I would say I would prefer it just don,t ever happen again.
And my Mrs has a round bum,he he he.

Laughin hard my man!

Never really liked the waif look.... hips looking like they could cut you open can put you off your stride

I've heard way to many stories about rider impaled by bikes to by a bike with extra sharp edges.... but again thats a personal taste thing.
