The 675 Triumph Daytona

**Kiwibacon** · 7th November 2008, 23:05

I would like less of the situp posistion and go for the tuckd in posistion. the street triple is what size? 900 1000. i want the 675 cos its lightweight and flicable so im told which would suit my height, weight.

I brought my 675 a month a go. So far i find the bike excellent, it handles like it's on rails, and lovs to tuck in to corners, i found the harder i ride it the better it seems to handle and perform, the engine is the best part, very smooth on power, although being 95kg, i do find i keep it down a lower gear than i would on a bigger bike, but that is to be expected. I personally think it is the best looking bike in the 600 range, the riding position is agressive but that is why i like it. I thik the 675 has a lot of charater as well. Any way my 2 cents worth hope it helps.

A lot of people like the Street Triple more as the Daytona you are tucked up pretty tight.

Some have put higher clip-ons on the Daytona to fix this and then are happy as.

There is a new Street Triple R model coming out that has all the goodies of the Daytona and you still ride in the Street Triples upright position.

It would be best to ride both or even all three so you can compare.

I would go the the new Street Triple R or a Daytona with higher clip-on's.

And then again a nice cheap, second hand Street Triple, could find it's way into my shed and I would be happy as well.

Thanks for the input Raf an Lem. The Daytona with fairing I would prefer.
Less wind on the face n chest as opposed to my Harley when at hi-speed.

After ive voted im goin down to Welly Motor cycls then the Triumph dealer round the corner.
See prices and (if not running sons around) Maybe take a demo ride.

You do remember I moved to orchland aye?. Shit roads up here mate, only the Coro Loop comes close. Whoever it was that said the Taka's are over-rated is full of shit.

They are a fantastic bike and make you giggle and laugh.

I looked at going back to a twin as I was selling the grey ghost but the more bikes i sat on and tried the more I knew I was gonna get another 675.

I have come from 1000cc jap bikes and loved them, then to the little 636 and none of them have given me the fun factor of the 675.

I would say that if you are coming from a HD then you may find that your wrist will carry more weight than what you are used too.

Part from that standup wheelies on the 675 are so good

she brakes well and I am always confident of getting around the corner lol

I am 45 yrs 6 foot weigh 83 kg and she delivers the goods.

Prices are red hot at the moment

Try and buy.
