I own a ‘23 Trident 660 and a ‘15 Daytona 675. When I heard that Triumph had been testing another sportbike platform I was very excited. While I think this new Daytona looks great, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed in the less powerful engine. While this looks like a great bike on its own I don’t think it compares to the previous Daytona models, and I’m not too sure it deserves the Daytona name.

interesting persepectives. I'm on a ninja400 and I'm quite disappointed in the lack of options to bridge the gap between the endless sea of naked bike hype and unforgiving ergos and streetability of proper supersports. Bikes like the FZ1 are great for crusing, have so much power but are heavy, a bit too upright, and lack the handling I want for doing some canyons. The other FZs (6, 8, 9) all have their compromises too (i'd get the FZ8 Fazer if it was actually sold in the USA instead of just the naked version). The rest in the category are too naked and get very old and annoying on the highway. I think this bike has the potential to be great and I'm looking at this along with the street triple

It would be nice to have either a analog speedo or a tft , the led screen will kill most peoples thrill of having it , it looks well integrated in the trident but the daytona looks like it was made in a rush it looks outdated but not in a good way

As a 675 owner this is not what I wanted for a Daytona branded bike. I'm sure it will be fun to ride and I look forward to trying it when my dealer gets one but I'm disappointed at this point. Thanks for taking the time to make the video on it and stay safe.

675R owner here. Disappointed too but I think we need to remember these bikes aren't for us and only the moniker is the same. Built to a much lower budget with budget parts, lower power, diluted dynamics and A2 friendly. These are beginner bikes not supersports. We just need to hope they make a proper sports bike off the back of this.

Agreed. The Daytona name shouldnt be on a budget friendly intermediate/beginner bike.

The Daytona is supposed to be a middle weight supersport race bike for the road.

Yup, I was hoping that they wouldn't call it a Daytona, too. (I also own a D675.) But I also understand why they did it. One could reason that Triumph is perfectly set up to do just what you've suggested but, I also think it's a pipe dream. Let's face it, they didn't sell enough Daytona 675s after about 2011 along with the rest of the manufacturers making supersport bikes.

Like it. Looks good in the red. It didn't do much for me at first, but the more I look at it, the more it grows on me. Proof will be in the pudding, but from an aesthetics point of view, it's definitely up there in that category. Maybe Triumph will put out something more aggressive in the future, I reckon this will be a good seller though.

It's good to see a Daytona back in the Triumph range. I'm pleasantly surprised because it's felt like the market has moved more towards retro/classic and adventure bikes. I hope it does well. I like sports bikes but have tended to buy models with sports/tourer specs than super sports because I find them more practical for regular use and also good for a long journey or holiday yet with enough sportiness for fun. The earlier Hinckley Daytonas, 900, 955 etc. prior to the 675, were less sports inclined than the R1s, GSXRs and ZZRs of the same period.

Man... I was actually waiting and I knew that you will post a video talkin about this bike.. And there.. You have the bike already in flesh ❤❤

..Absolutely Love it!!!. My cousin has a Rocket 3, and I love the sound of 3 cylinders. I plan on getting a CBR650 this summer and already own a Ninja 650, but I might have to add this to my collection! Waiting on a full review, then I'll zero in on one.

Thanks for a great review. This bike is super-exciting. For someone who has 52 years of riding under the saddle and doesn't want to be tempted by excessive speed now, I reckon this is my ideal bike.

Wow, I never thought in the middle 90's that Triumph would come this far, amazing looking bike, well done! If they get their dealer network sorted out in the US they will really push the Big Four hard for sales!!

It's a great bike as it is, I'm simply sceptical how much justice will it do to the Daytona line-up and name.

That dash is in some ways more functional than the fancy one on my Street Triple RS with the stupid tachometer (although I think that is getting addressed for the new model year). The one on the Trident/Tiger Sport 660/D660 is an LCD/TFT hybrid but it works well. Agree on the quick shifter and I wish the suspension was more adjustable. But Triumph sets up even the non-adjustable stuff well as long as you're not really heavy or really light. Should be a fun bike.

I agree on the dash, looks poor. It's like they've brought back the old ZX-10R dash that used to get slated.

If you get to ride one soon, check if they have figured out that delayed throttle response that the trident had.

I saw other announcements on other channels but waited to see yours first! 😁

Okay, I know a few others have already mentioned this but I'll add to the chorus. For those who are pining for true supersport-spec Daytona 765, there already is one. It's called the Street Triple 765 RS (and the limited edition Moto2). It's also raced in MotoAmerica, BSB, and WSB. I know some people haven't been around as long as some of us but the Street Triple originally was just a stripped down, re-tuned Daytona 675. When Triumph cancelled the D675, they essentially put all the high-spec development into the Street Triple, particularly the RS variant. I have a first gen D675 and a '22 STRS and the main frame is nearly identical. And essentially, they are very similar bikes. Of course, the RS is more modern and has more advanced components but they are clearly of the exact same lineage. The reason there is no longer a supersport Daytona is because ALMOST NO ONE WAS BUYING THEM. Same with almost every other supersport bike. If you want Triumph to build one, there has to be a market for one. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of those asking for one will actually buy one.

Just knew motobob would have the first video!

Always thought they should bring this back. I just think we minimize how much we have to like the dealership to get one. Out here in Portland, I just grew out of love with them, with all the added/bogus fees. It looks nice though! Just think they should’ve added a bit more horsepower. With that said, I’ll keep my Z900rs Cafe.

Love it. Perfect road bike with a decent hint of sport, and 90bhp is spot on for the road

I have a 2013 675r which sees the odd track day but mostly lives in the garage. I've never sold it because the engine at high revs is just glorious. I like the look of the new one, but it's not living up to the name.

Brilliant! I believe that for that price, it's going to be unrivalled!

This and the Augusta F3 have the lines I’m after. I always like the slim, round and sharp edges. It’s just the refinement and tech im after in a newer bike; not the newest outlandish styling

Great video and another great bike from Triumph, in my opinion the best all round bike manufacture.

Excellent summary Bob. I was hoping much more for a Trident with the 1200 engine. But I guess due to the nice styling and price point it will sell very well.

Looks awesome!!

Great breakdown and interesting bike. Driving a Trident 660 i'm looking forward to get one from my dealer for testing.

Is there cornering ABS an cornering traction control?

I think they nailed it - 9 out of 10. Should have had fully adjustable forks and shock to give it 10/10

I have been wishing for Triump to put a full fairing on the 765 RS. But they did it with the 660 instead. But i still think this new Daytona is really nice.

The older Daytona was a real badass. This one is definitely the timid watered down version..

Well hope Triumph put the Daytona treatment on the street triple platform again

I can't wait to see another review of this, once you are able to take one of these out for a proper ride.

what do you think vs the Aprilia RS660?

Think: Aprilia RS660 for 3K less! Personally, if the riding position isn't too difficult, I certainly would've added this to the very short list of potential bikes. On paper, the ONLY variance is weight, w/ the RS660 being 43Lbs. lighter! At $8,600, it's a great value. Oh, it's pretty sexy looking to boot. Maybe 'silk white' and consider it a fresh canvas for some bright, splashy primary colors. I think they're going to sell quite well, heck- I can't think of anyone who wouldn't love riding it.

I have own the trident 660 with a quick shifter and love it plus the 2023 street triple RS, which I upgraded to the new 2024 model. I use whose bike fore backroad blast , but no one can take the. Full potential out of the 765 RS except on a racetrack, so as I see it. The 660 Daytone numbers are perfect for backroad’s racing, and the bike looks beautiful, and I’m seriously considering buying the 660 Daytona as bike number 2, If TRIUMPH CAN DELIVER IT WITH A QUICKSHIFTER.

nice machine, and about time ,i`ll look forward to your road test, see how it stacks up against the 675 ,god only knows why they discontinued that daytona, so it needs to punch its weight!

I love the way this Daytona looks, and they tuned the engine perfectly compared to the Trident 660. I want one.

Bob. Where is the adventure 660? Still waiting for the affordable transalp/Tenere competitor with a Triumph badge

Should be compared against the CBR650R. Not to mention it looks similar on the front-end. Is that available in the UK?

If i was still a beginner i would take the R7 of this. Currently riding a Daytona 675 OG and waiting for the release of the R9

Woah its the mighty Gaytona!

Really impressed with triumph 660 models , ADV version next??

While this bike dosent seem all that mind blowing for countries without license restrictions like USA countries Like Australia benefit from smaller displacement by like this which can be used on P plates. I think this is a great addition for newer riders

Looks good ❤ will be a direct rival for the cbr650r. But in my opinion it would have gained much more attention if they made it like a mini speed triple rr instead of going for a fully faired daytona.

was the seat plush enough?

It's what it is a cheap new lowish powered sport bike which looks similar to many others. Hardly the game changer Triumph said they were unavailing though. Be interesting to see how it compares to the new Suzuki GSX-8R, Aprilia RS660, Honda CBR650r and Yamaha R7? 🤔

I have a question, appreciating the burgeoning Market Hinckley are going for but where does a budding D660 pilot upgrade to when they feel the appetite to upsize. The floor at the neighboring Competitors Shop🔎?? Hint, an 1160 Daytona please!! 😁

Looks like, if Honda CBR 650 made in china instead of Japan.

With the power band and less aggressive seating it should make for a good sport bike for the everyday street use customer.

Let's hope it sells well and Triumph bring out a full fat version with a bright / bolder colour scheme.

Is the white glossy?

More beautiful than I thought it would be, to be honest. I am just not that crazy on that 660 engine. Feels more like a well-tuned 4-cylinder to me. You can feel the low-mid range superiority of the 765 engine, just by opening the throttle from being stopped. I would still love to see a half-fairing, sport but all-arounder 765 bike. Like a new Sprint RS 765. Capable of everyday commuting, small trips with 2 persons, and of some serious playing in the twisties.

I just wish both headlights had high beams and low beams in each housing, since some newer sport styled bikes have that feature

I regret that no blue colour is avaiable. But the red one is beautiful.

I think the buell firebolt had some say in the build of this bike

Rode 2007 Triumph Daytona 675. There were far better bikes from Japanese Big 4...but what it set apart from them, and what made it better was the SOUND! Metal griding, high pitched, thumping and roaring sound. Gone is this once-an-awesome sound of triple from Triumph...

I'm excited but, I was looking forward it being a bit better.

Finally feel like triumph are getting back in the game interested to find out bit more on gear ratios but need to make it naked and get back to the 2013 Street maybe with some of the new headlights and light both up not just one😂 come on triumph get it back

I love it, it`s what people have been crying out for for years, a mid sized no frills sporty middleweight, which is more road friendly than a full on supersport bike. I wonder whether they have any idea`s about making a 900 version based on the 900 Tiger engine?.

looks like street tripple got some fairings.

i still expect them to bring out a 765 Daytona but think it will be the Daytona 765 moto which will be closer to 130bhp and fitted with the higher end goodies

I don’t know… this seems like a miss for Triumph. Definitely a good bike for the beginner market but they shouldn’t have slapped the Daytona badge on it.

I look forward to the rr version

There's any rumors of the 765 Daytona?

This bike is going to be a real hit in the sector. Triumph have done an incredible job. As for the ´Daytona´ tag goes, if it had the 81hp powerplant the answer would be NO, this 95hp engine sneaks in there with a great torque curve. I think it´s worthy of it.

Damn I was so excited when I saw a 2024 daytona only to find out its a been neutered.. I own a 2020 Street Triple 765R, if I was gonna trade for anything it'd probably be an Aprillia tuono 1100 v4. Too bad I was hoping we were getting a full sport triumph.

Riding well be the proof, but this may be a brilliant move for Triumph! The last 675 Daytona was a wonderful expensive bike that didn't sell well. However, a 10k sport bike may sell in the numbers they need. In the past, Triumph has gotten a lot out of modest components with careful tuning and development. If that's the case here, it may be what the market needs. The first Daytona was a 500cc twin that was overshadowed by the 650 twin - but the 500 won the race the bike was named after

I don't think I would want to take phone calls while using a device like Cardo while riding. Motorcycling is already dangerous enough without the distraction of a phone call. I personally put my phone in my BMW's pannier so there are no distractions.

I wonder if the fuel gauge works on this model

You got to compare this one to the aprilia RS660
