Hi dude ive just brought a 2013 675r with only 1400 miles on it's awesome ive always owned Japanese sport bikes cbr 600rr and two Kawasaki zx6r ninjas but 4 weeks ago I brought my Daytona and 💚it comes with so many mods as stock the only thing i have done is powder coated the rims Ducati red so it looks really sweet now again truly awesome bike bro 👍🏻👍🏻👌
Bought a new 14 Triumph Daytona 675r a couple weeks ago and I absolutely love it and I feel the same way about the quick shifter! Its like why even use the clutch haha.
I love my Triumph Daytona 675R man you have to re ride it, you can adjust the ABS to Circuit mode and the adjuster wrenches is under the rear seat. The bike come set up and standard riding, adjust 14 clicks front 16 clicks back for sport/comfort set up. makes a huge difference in the ride and handling. This bike is awesome and can be set up for any rider's condition and experience level. The owners handbook has all the settings (race track/standard/sport/comfort/stock/passenger) I drove 2 hours to the closes Triumph dealer to buy mine. Worth every mile, its my 2nd bike and absolutely blows my mind. I got the Matte Black/red/grey she's sexy as can be...
I just bought a brand new Daytona 675 R and it's a best bike I ever had. And I owned 7 so far. Update: on 2/23/17. The Daytona is sold (in April) and I moved on to better bikes :) Thank you for the great review.
E.S. BiH Thank YOU for the compliment! Even though I love my 750, duh, I'm truly jealous of any 675r owners as it was a phenomenal bike. Have fun with it!!
I picked mine up couple of weeks ago and I have to agree on the clutch engaging VERY far out. First time I pulled out of the parking lot, I was sitting there with the slightly revved throttle for a good 2 seconds slowly releasing the clutch thinking "when the hell is it going to bite?" Gotta say, I was worried at first when I bought it that I may have made a mistake and just bought into hype because I had moved from a cruiser to a very aggressive sport bike, it was very uncomfortable and the ride was difficult to get used to, but then a week later after I read through the manual and adjusted everything (both, clutch and brake levers can be adjusted to get closer), learned the proper seating position on the bike, and had more time to get used to it, now I LOVE it and feels very intuitive. I will say this, though, the bike HATES braking. Even if you close the throttle and do some light engine braking, your whole body slides forward and nuts get crushed in the tank, and if you brake constantly (especially when ranging rpms during the break-in period), there's lots of pressure on your palms because your entire body support rests on your arms and braking further pushes you into the handles. Anyone who buys this bike I would highly suggest getting tank knee pads so you have something to press your knees against and relieve pressure from your arms (not just for comfort, but also so you can still easily use the controls with your hands WHILE braking, which seems to be an issue since you have to push off the bars very hard when braking and it doesn't leave much room for you to move fingers around and activate turn signals and whatnot). Also get a center tank pad to protect the paint from your jacket zipper because if you sit properly on the bike, you will be leaning onto the tank a lot. That's the only complaint I have about the bike so far - I hate braking on it, but if you've got an open road in front of you, it's actually quite comfortable once you get used to it and sit properly (i.e. sit back, so your cheeks are on the actual seat and not the narrow part right behind the tank).
Also, the quickshifter I was not impressed with. I saw all the videos with extremely happy people once they try the quickshifter, but I shift much smoother than that quickshifter which jerks the bike each time I use it, so I came in expecting something amazing and instead it was just mediocre. It's still nice to be able to shift with the clutch hand off the handlebars (if need to), but overall it was not as much a selling point to me. I've only written things that I was NOT impressed with, so it may seem like I don't like the bike, but on the contrary, I've ONLY written things I was NOT impressed by, which means everything else was very impressive, so suffice it to say that aside from the points I've mentioned, this bike is AMAZING (definitely best I've ever owned).
+Peterbu18 My 1199 was like that the first time I rode it and i thought quick shifters sucked, but that's because I didn't know how to use it. On my bike its meant to be used once you have the revs up high and while dialing on the throttle giving it the berries. It works so good there is no way you could shift as smooth as it hits, but when the revs are low its not smooth at all. Give it a try and let me know how it work as I am about to pull the trigger on a 675R myself.
Jack Durden You know, after riding for a while, I started noticing that myself. Because I was keeping the revs relatively low for the break-in, it was very jerky, but once I get the revs up higher, it's a LOT smoother - in one case I even remember thinking "did I pull the shift lever all the way up? I don't know if I shifted, I didn't feel it" XD
1. Nice shoes... 2. I've been living my with Daytona nearly everyday for the better part of two years now. It da bidnez 3. Turning bikes off with the killswitch is a bad idea 4. You aren't very economical with your gears. Owning a Daytona, I know that you can drink the whole tank in half an hour if you ride it hard
Ive actually had both since the time ive posted this comment haha, gsxr 750 faster top end but daytona more usable grunt overall daytona is a better bike, stronger brakes, engine better, suspension better, cracking bike
in the specs it has it listed as being a 4.6 gallon tank with 4.6 mpg, which is wrong, I'm sure that the bike gets more than 18 miles on a full tank! lol
Brush up on those sloppy downshifts...that's how you wear a clutch out early, snap that throttle back and kick down instead of dragging it into every gear...ride safe! #RubberSideDown
+Matthew Kane just like normal smooth up shifting requires a timed release of the throttle to rev match... It's the opposite for downshifting instead of shifting then just dragging the clutch, time a quick blip of the throttle with the downshift and rev-match... Soon you'll be good enough to not even use the clutch! Ride safe man! #RubberSideDown
Honestly, I'm going to tell you the same thing I'll tell anyone. Start small. I'll never recommend a bigger cc sport bike to any beginner because there's not much of a reason why you shouldn't start small (You're going to make mistakes, small bikes are cheap, and they don't lose value, etc.). That being said, the bike that I rode in the video won't give you much of a problem as a first bike. It's light and nimble, it has electronics to make your riding more enjoyable, and it has the premium quality you should expect from a Triumph motorcycle. So if you absolutely must have this bike and can not wait a few months while you ride a smaller bike, then have fun and ride safe!!
+saqibp3 how did u do in the class did u stall a lot ? i would recommend getting a 300 or something use it for a year then sell it bit its up to you bro and i know i am going to get chewed up for saying this i did get a 300 had it for 1.5 years then sold it off
I had a 2003 gsxr 600 before my 2012 triumph Daytona 675R and though the Daytona is better all around, it is horribly uncomfortable as compared to the Suzuki. It's a supersport bike, I know.. but my wrists kill after just 20 mins on the triumph. Only after 1 hr of riding the gsxr did my wrists just get a little numb. I've gotten a little more used to it over time but just be warned you may find it an uncomfortable bike to ride!!
+jtkent28 "the Daytona is....horribly uncomfortable as compared to the Suzuki". Man that sucks! At first i thought i had an alternative to the Japanese middleweights to check out, but aside from good handling, the bike i buy must be comfortable. Oh well.
+You Toober Let's be real, sport bikes are uncomfortable... BUT everybody is different and even though the bike was uncomfortable for him, it may not be uncomfortable for you. You should try one out!
+You Toober You can wear wrist braces, the ones that tennis players use. That's what I do and I'm 66 y.o. I have a 1976 Triumph T140V Bonneville 750. She came stock with a 4030 Chrome Molly frame and weigh 395 lbs. I removed the 2 large and heavy mufflers and the weight got down to around 365 lbs. The other mods I made were to put on drag bars (a lot like clip on's) and also I removed the entire cushion from the seat in order to sit lower and these two mod's provided a lot lower C.G. I also removed all four turn signals and their stalks. Lastly I added bar end mirrors. I never moded the engine and I always used the stock Dunlap K-70H tires. I used to tell people who told me to hot rod the bike that , sure I will if ever she loses a race but she never did so I never hot rodded her in any way. Triumphs are great sport bikes! I purchased mine new on January 10, 1977 and she won every cafe road race on the back roads and parkway's of Long Island for 10 consecutive years until 1986 when I got married and stopped racing. I took her out in 1992 and raced and beat every bike once again and that includes the new 1992 Kawasaki 1100 cc Ninja that had a top speed of 179 mph. Also she beat the new Honda V4 1000 cc Interceptor. Handling is what killed those beasts. She sits 20 feet from me as I type this. Enjoy your Triumph Sport Bikes!
It only sounds like that because he is riding it in A mode. He is using the stock exhaust so it will sound like that. And he isn't revving it very high
Tristram Randall Actually the bike doesn't have an A mode or any modes with the exception of the ABS switch. And yes they do have an interesting sound like a power drill but it's quite nice while you're riding it.
Winson Cheong Yes, Triumph's bikes have a high pitched trill to them. I had a Street Triple 675 and I had a love/hate relationship with that noise. On the one hand, I could instantly recognize other Triumphs and other Triumphs could instantly recognize me from the engine noise which was really cool, but on the other hand, it was pretty weird sounding and I didn't really like it at first but I eventually got used to it (although the induction noise at full throttle on those bikes is like no other bike on the planet haha). Some people like it, I'm... ambivalent. Tristram Randall The stock exhaust is a bit quiet, replacing it with a new one will make the exhaust louder for sure, giving it a bit more of a grumble, but that high pitched noise is coming from the engine, not the exhaust, so it'll always be there, the exhaust has nothing to do with it.
Nice bike but you may want to be more descriptive while talking, a lot of things happening off camera and you just saying wow every 10 seconds isn't very helpful
tronvex At first I was like "What you talkin' about?" but as I was making changes to that chart I saw my error and yes, on average it will get roughly 46 mpg according to Triumph.
