    Daytona 650

    Had a good burn on an assortment of super-sports bikes yesterday. R6 and FZ600 around the KR offices and a run through the Hunuas and Bombay hills on the new Triumph Daytona 650.

    The new Trumpy is a lovely motorcycle. Performance appears to be between the two Yamahas and has some characteristics similar to both.

    The 650's torque is now excellent and it pulls well at low revs - better even than the R6, but the yam is more 'immediate' when it has a 'head of steam'.

    Handling, brakes, steering, ergos all are in the same class. (On the limited runs I had) - for road use, The Daytona appears to perform as a legitimate alternative to a Gixxer or R6.

    Most impressive.

    Yeah, they dont look bad. Wonder where it will slot in.
    Latest Motorcycle online, comparo of the big 4, 600's had the ZX6R quickest, but the latest R6 best all rounder. Still only a gnats pube between them all though, so you may as well go for the one that looks best.
