    As said, with BMW and Aprilia dropping new models into the pot with mega power, Triumph know the bar has been lifted ...way up there somewhere in the stratosphere. Which is another good reason to avoid 180+hp bikes and enjoy the fun of the middle class.

    As for the 675 D comfort. I'm far from a teenager myself (she ran too fast for my walking frame) but I've no issues with the riding position. I've done heaps of long weekend rides around the Sth Is. and last month the East Cape to Tauranga-Hammy then back down the west side. All in comfort with no pain. I rode Wgtn-Taupo on a Saturday. Did the TriDay trackday on the Sunday and rode back to Wgtn straight from the trackday. If a bikes uncomfortable that would be the test! I got home ready to ride some more.
    Nothing to do with age. Ergonomics are peculiar. You're also arguably the exact jockey-like physique the 675 Daytona is designed around.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    From shit talk album


    Could be the one, i just got it stuck in my head that the specs i found for the 1050 said 130 bhp and when i took it to the dyno thats what i got from her !
    Same Online outfit show 123 for the 675 So will have to take this to the same dyno and see what it says ! Even if it's just braggin rights lol, Just have to be carefull i dont say/write seconds lol
    Be interested to what that site says the 1050 did in the shootout !

    I have owned one for around three months now.
    It's my first "big" bike and as such I don't have anything to compare it to but I am very happy with this bike.
    It is not a machine to toodle around town with, the riding position just doesn't lend itself very well to this and you'll find yourself leaning quite heavily on your wrists. But get it out on the open road where the higher speeds take some of this load off and it is a different story. Bloody brilliant.
    Fitting tank grips apparently makes a huge difference in this respect to.
    I am not the biggest guy around at around 1.76mtr and 85kg so the size of the bike suits me fine. It will take me quite some time yet before I might be able to use the performance of this bike to its fullest but I am having one hell of a fun time trying and learning. As mentioned before, once that needle gets close to 10000rpm the fun really begins. And as pointed out to use the bike at that end of the rev range on the street really puts you into licence losing territory.
    I like the looks of the bike, very modern without being almost alien looking like the new R6 and the like. The build quality is fantastic. The finish on the paint and alloy components is first rate and is one of the things which first caught my eye when I started looking for my next bike. I just knew I had to have one. And the more I started looking into these Daytona's and the rave reviews they were getting just kept reinforcing this need.
    No regrets at all from this corner.

    I reckon the 675 Daytona is the nicest looking sportsbike ever built

    Sat on one in the shop the otherday, Felt a little small for me, But I have to wait another month till they get a bike in as a demo that I can test ride.

    So in the meantime, I took a Street Triple R out, jesus that was a bad idea. Now I want both!

    Oh, and I would have a 675 D in a heartbeat, as a trackday toy. For riding on the road my pick would be the Street Triple R

    definately take one for a test-ride slofox, they handle great, perform great, sound great, and look great. In short... they ARE great. (ok, I do own one) Many other bikes are as well, you need to ride as many as possible, but you knew that right?

    Someone in Dinsdale parks theirs outside their work (on the footpath which is quite brave!) and it looks fkn sweeeeeet. Was drooling over it last night after some drinks at the place. First saw it a couple of weeks ago as i drove past and i thought it must have been just another yellow hyo as it was parked right where some little wankers could play with it.
