Unhappy about Triumph 675

[Fryin Finn]

It is with a heavy heart that I must tell about a recent unhappiness.
I took a Triumph Daytona 675 for a ride at lunchtime - it was brilliant and then - it got even better.
The engine was amazing it accelerated from 80kph to 130kph in top gear up the gorge. It goes like snot off a shovel and handles way better than I could push it. Stops so hard your eyeballs flatten against the visor and smooth as a really smooth thing at 100kph. And the sound Oh the sound - it made me unhappy because I may never hear that sound again. It played a melody as I rev'd it towards the redline from the gentle hum of an Electric generator to the shriek of a thousand Banshees - a little poetic I know but it moved me from that place to just over there.
But I could only ever own it as a 5th bike though as I already own a Tourer, a commuter and a dirt bike plus I would like a trials bike too. 5th place is surely undeserved but that's me. Ther'in lies my unhappiness.
But then, if I win Lotto, it goes to the top of my list while I procrastinate about which trials bike to buy. See life does have an upside.

Does it have one big zorst outlet flanked by two smaller ones?

I had a similar feeling after test riding the Triumph Rocket. (And the new Sprint ST was pretty good fun too.) I havnt had the oppotunity to ride the 675 yet, just had a drool over one at the RAT rally. A Lotto win and I would have all three!

Bastard, I though there was something wrong with them.

The accessory zorst manufacturers are gonna be hard pressed coming up with something that betters the stock item. A single hole won't cut it.

was thinking kinda like the MV but three smallpipes could work maybe in a triangle fashion under the tail

In that case, maybe the Neptune Triton would look good:

Thats a silly question. Now I need to make a trip to Wellington

If you do get up here, feel free to come on in and take it for a good thrash!

Wow, that is a wicked looking bike. I'm guessing they don't come cheap then?

RRP is $17,990 plus on road costs.

Saw a red one in the New Plymouth Triumph shop today (already sold to some lucky Chick). Thought it would have looked even better in red compared to the grey, but not so sure now. That shop has a good selection of Triumphs in stock.
