MCN overall verdict rating is 4

You would be hard pushed to tell the difference from the successful but outgoing Triumph Daytona 675 model and the latest 2009 model. But stand closer and the differences jump out at you i.e. the new angular top fairing, Nissin monoblock calipers, revised suspension and so on. The engine and performance changes you can’t see, but combined with the great handling chassis the Triumph Daytona 675 is a very viable alternative to the Japanese supersport mass. Check out this video report from the Triumph Daytona 675 launch.

Engine

MCN rating rating is 4
Owners' rating rating is 5

Race team feedback has led to many internal changes to net an extra 3bhp, 1ftlb of torque and an extra 400rpm (now 13,900rpm rev range) to play with. Forget about peak power, though. It’s the legendary flat but fat torque curve coupled with a midrange horsepower increase that makes the Triumph Daytona 675 a breeze to ride day-in, day out without working up a sweat. If you want to rip it up then the Triumph 675 will easily pump your adrenaline – especially on a trackday – simply by working the throttle harder. Gearbox mods have banished the sticky-shift feel.

Ride and Handling

MCN rating rating is 4
Owners' rating rating is 5

Pure supersport seating stance of high seat and clip-ons but isn’t uncomfortable, more intimidating at first and the screen is typically low for hard speed riding. The ride is exemplary thanks to new suspension that features high and low speed compression damping front and rear, which makes the gap between road and track use easier to cross. Although quick steering the Triumph Daytona 675 is a stable beast but comes with a steering damper to keep back road scratchers out of trouble. Ground clearance is not an issue on the Daytona 675, which is good because it can carry big corner speed with ease.

Equipment

MCN rating rating is 3
Owners' rating rating is 3.5

Although modern running gear features throughout, the Triumph Daytona 675 doesn’t wear anything majorly different to the rest of the supersport class. No, you will have to scan the list of official accessories to make the Triumph Daytona 675 stand out – and with the plug-in quick shifter, computer adjustable ECU, Arrow exhausts and rearsets you will stand out. And there’s more… Compare and buy products for the Triumph Daytona 675 in the MCN Shop.

Quality and Reliability

MCN rating rating is 4
Owners' rating rating is 4.5

Chassis components are no different to Japanese counterparts. This leaves the powertrain open to discussion, of which there are few web-based grumbles about the previous model. But like every other manufacturer Triumph is quick to remedy any complaints so this latest Daytona 675 should figure a thoroughly sorted mill.

Value

MCN rating rating is 4
Owners' rating rating is 4.5

Price aside, Triumph’s Daytona 675 is perfectly poised to run with the Japanese pack, if not up front because of the way the engine doesn’t need to be worked so hard on the road. Back to the price: at its present £7589 list price, it is extremely competitive e.g. £200 cheaper than the R6.

    A fantastic demonstration of the uselessness of peak power figures. The 675 makes 30% more power than an R6 or CBR600 at most points in the on-the-road rev range. Doesn't need to be wound up to a shrieking climax to make progress and steers with a twitch of the eyeballs. It might be a supersport-class bike, but it's got precious few of the genetic weaknesses the 600s have had bred into them in order to win races. 17,000rpm red lines? Amplified-mosquito exhaust notes? Keep 'em! This stomps all over its peers on the road.

    Having had Hondas before I was reluctant to change brands but I am glad I did!! Its just brilliant - ok it has many japanese parts but its British. It has a lovely smooth engine, great handling and propper brakes!! Its just a joy every time I ride it. Looks great and makes me feel great and thats what its all about!! Love It.

RE: nano87

The reason why the Honda CBR600RR has more top end speed is due to better Aerodynamics, also the Honda is more track focused where as the Triumph Daytona 675 will reach higher speed a little faster the top end speed won't be that of the Honda...

Hope this helps

???

Anyone know why the new cbr 600rr is so much faster than the 675 even though the 675 has way more hp and torque? I don't understand this..
