07 Daytona 675. Thoughts? ;P

5evenz · January 27th, 2012, 07:47 PM

Alright so my dad is thinking of a new bike and for all intents and purposes this one fits the bill... Brilliantly. Some light track and twisty roads along with a sprinkling of city riding.
-2007 Triumph Daytona
-One previous owner
-never dropped
-4000 km
-Sold at Local dealer back in 07 and all maint done and accounted for
-asking $4600 willing to wiggle

Plus its sexy and slim... thoughts????

I'm a big fan of the looks of the Daytona.

choneofakind · January 27th, 2012, 09:18 PM

I'm a huge fan of the 675 as well! Sounds and looks like none of the Japanese bikes, not to mention the extra midrange and low end power that so many people love 05-06 Ninja 636's for. Extra cc's do that

I'm a little confused by the original post though, is the bike for your dad? What's he currently ride? That bike is more than capable for twisites and track use.

Live2ride · January 27th, 2012, 10:00 PM

That sounds like a great deal, If everything checks out then I'm sure your father would be happy with it. The 675 is a damn good looking bike.

Mountain Dew · January 27th, 2012, 10:06 PM

Only if it's white

Vampyre · January 27th, 2012, 10:21 PM

Can't find one down here anywhere near that price. I should know. It was a 636 or 675...lol

Skippii · January 27th, 2012, 10:38 PM

I really want one of the new MV Agusta 675 f3 Serie Oro bikes.

5evenz · January 27th, 2012, 11:31 PM

Yeah the bike would primarily be my dads, he has been on a naked 04 sv650. Great bike but its been through hell, looks like it too. I'll probably be able to steal it a few days a week so im in it for this buy also. And yes it's that nice gold orange colour.

nickjpass · January 28th, 2012, 09:53 AM

That bikes is so... drewl.

THE BIG SITT · February 1st, 2012, 05:48 PM

I went and sat on a 675 today. Definitely different than anything else I've ever seen. But thats a good thing

It wasn't the most comfortable thing I've ever sat on, but that could be due to me having a chub as soon as I saw it… wait… what???

Shaol1n Monk · February 1st, 2012, 08:38 PM

i am actually looking at a black 09 675 triple. toss up between that and an 09 cbr600rr.
love the look of the triumph, but i have been a fan of jap bikes forever and how can ya go wrong w a honda. also have heard the 675 is not the most comfortable. still its so freakin sexy!

To me, the 675 is one of the most uncomfortable bikes. I haven't ridden one. My opinion is totally based on sitting on all of the bikes at the IMS. If it will be mostly a street bike, I would look at the CBR. That thing is super comfortable for a supersport. If for the track, the 675 is perfect!

nickjpass · February 2nd, 2012, 04:35 PM

It's a super sport, not a cruiser.

choneofakind · February 2nd, 2012, 04:41 PM

Nick, notice those three words, "for a supersport"

He never said it was a lazy boy

alex.s · February 2nd, 2012, 04:43 PM

buy it.

heylookitsfranco · February 2nd, 2012, 04:48 PM

I wouldn't expect them to be comfortable. In a way, these bikes aren't meant for the street lol

yes they are. and the daytona is very comfy for what it is.

nickjpass · February 2nd, 2012, 04:57 PM

How is a bike that is essentially a racing motorcycle with lights meant for the street? I'm not saying not to get it, because I would lol.

massacremasses · February 2nd, 2012, 05:03 PM

this will be m next bike I have determined...

explain to me what racing class 675cc qualifies you for?

its a street bike.

Trailerboy531 · February 2nd, 2012, 05:46 PM

To be fair Cheeks did say his D675 was highly uncomfortable on the street.

I understand that. I just don't think it shouldn't be expected to be comfy, as it's a super sport. I wouldn't expect it to be comfy at all. Machines like this seem to fast for the street lol I can't really explain myself.

alex.s · February 2nd, 2012, 06:57 PM

its a supersport. if you are sitting on your ass you are doing it wrong.

nickjpass · February 2nd, 2012, 06:58 PM

That's what I mean. How could you expect to be comfy at all.

5evenz · February 2nd, 2012, 07:04 PM

Body size and preference. I rode an s1000rr with foamie race seat, not bad at all but i Wouldn't ride past 2 hours with either. Totally fine for around the City. IMO. So awesomeeee

choneofakind · February 2nd, 2012, 07:10 PM

no nick, they're too fast to reach their limits on the street. there's a difference. They don't go any faster than a Corvette, or a Camero, and those are both perfectly street legal. Supersports are an absolute blast!!!!! They're just kinda aggressive and have gobs of power up top. Go ride one and tell me you don't love it.

nickjpass · February 2nd, 2012, 07:24 PM

I never said I wouldn't get one for the street.

They run in Supersport and Daytona Sportbike in the US, as well as in World Supersport. (the classes allow larger displacement with less cylinders)

sixer · February 4th, 2012, 11:33 PM

Don't these bikes have mechanical and electrical gremlins? _ very swag tho..

Couple friends have them, they dont seem to have had any problems.
Kinda interesting they take an OBDII scanner to look at the ecm.

nickjpass · February 7th, 2012, 01:50 PM

I'd suspect that all bikes have problems. Nothing is perfect.

areifel · February 7th, 2012, 02:22 PM

That is a great price! Every one i find in central Florida is about $1000 more with higher mileage.

DREAM BIKE!

massacremasses · February 7th, 2012, 03:33 PM

So did the OPs dad ever get it? wtf?

WebMasterP · February 11th, 2012, 01:16 PM

I almost bought one of these after I sold my 250R, but I wanted better fuel economy since I use mine for commuting when it's dry and went with a Monster 796. The 675 is such an awesome looking bike and the exhaust note sound is very distinct.
