Daytona 675 @ amps

[Smorg]

They are all pre-sold. i reckon AMPS would have bought this one themselves.
I have done a report- but I'll run it out in Kiwi Rider first.
Book a demo ride and sus it for yourself?

That sounds like a plan, I'll give myself a goin away present. Any ideas on when the next shipment are coming in? Might hassle the bank for one of those puppies when i get back

I've got to be honest, I really don't like the look of the 675.

At first I thought it looked fairly sharp, but after seeing it in magazine shots and in the flesh it has just dated already. It looks anaemic, too thin, the colours are boring, the front fairing looks like it should be an inch or so higher, the lights are horrible and it looks too tall.

I know I'm in a minority here and it gives everyone else a hard on, or wide on should that be the case, but it is just an uninspiring looking motorcycle.

Mind you, I'm still gonna try and get a ride on it.

Why would you want to ride such a crap bike?

[The_Dover]

I never said it was a crap bike, just that it was ugly and will age quickly.

I'm already sick of seeing it's slanty eyes peering at me from the pages of bike magazines, a bit like walking down Queen St.

I'd still like to ride it and see what all the fuss is about, especially after the yanks rated it top of the supersport pack.

But are they going to make a Naked street fighter version ???

[The_Dover]

A mini Speed Triple??

[EZAS]

WOW ... that looks fricking amazing!!!!!

Can't believe it.!!! Thats a not the traditional Triumph I'm used to seeing

[Big Dave]

A mini Speed Triple??

Yeah - i've heard enough rumours to believe it will happen.
Maytbe at the same time as the new tiger.

[imdying]

Looks like a million jap bikes ripped off and cobbled together... except the quality of finish looks better than even a Honda

[Lou Girardin]

But are they going to make a Naked street fighter version ???

Please God, say it'll happen.
Especially if they can get the weight down to 150kg's or thereabouts.

[Scouse]

that is one hot bike, great colour too :

You not wrong my Speed triple is the same colour

[Gforce]

great bike,now trimph make inline 3's better and better

[Mr. Peanut]

I still don't trust the build quality, and I think triples are a bit queer...

The first shipment was cleaned out but I only know of one around Wellytown and no 'active' KBers seem to have latched on to one yet. I say active because the one sold here went to a bloke who hasn't been on KB for a couple of years, I think. But he was good enough to let me take it for a short spin. The 675 looks so narrow following it. It felt bloody cool to ride.
The performance (first short impression only OK) seemed too close to that of my 636 to tempt me to change right now but I'll be watching what Pete thinks of his over the coming months.
There's a lot of appeal to owning something non-jappo once in a while.
