The MAM Journals-Triumph Daytona 660 

Thank you . Other types of reviews are of course more popular but I like to make them in a style that I would want to watch and don’t worry much about views , likes and subscribers which , for those trying to make a living out of this , is important . Appreciate your kind comment . Glad you like them 👍

Thank you Nigel . Terrier is a good choice of words . I think the 8R is a good bike too . Sounds like you are happy with yours 👍

😂 you and me both ..

Always good to hear from you . The Daytona reminded me of the mid 90’s 600’s . Fast but frenetic .. . Some will love it 👍

Thank you Richard . Glad you enjoyed it 👍

Very Welcome . Hope winter is being kind 👍

Great , real world comment , Thanks for watching . Have fun on the Daytona .👍

😂 Thanks Rob …always good to hear from you .

Glad you enjoyed it 👍 Thank you

Thank you Ian . Glad you enjoyed it 👍

Not ridden the Honda for long enough to form an objective view but it is good to hear you are enjoying yours .

Thanks Chris . It is quite frenetic. Interestingly the Triumph made me feel happy that I have moved on . I never really liked the 600 class when it was in its prime but my recent ride on the KTM 990 , possibly aimed at younger riders , was a great trip into “ old school “ riding . Great to hear from you , Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment 👍

The Suzuki is easy to ride smoothly and briskly , which suits my natural preferences . The Daytona is fast but more frenetic , which is great, if you are in the mood but to me , as I say in the conclusion , felt a bit one dimensional ..Some will really like it 👍

Thank you for watching . Glad you enjoyed it 👍

Well thankfully we are all different , which is a good thing . 👍 I use quick shifter on every bike that has one and always notice when I get on a “brisker” bike that hasn’t got one . Each to their own 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sadly I don’t have access to Honda’s for long enough to feel I can make a proper review . If that changes I will be delighted to review the CB650R . A good bike 👍 Thanks for watching !

The Daytona is definitely faster and more “assertive” . The Suzuki goes well and is easier to ride . 👍

If you get a chance , try one! It is a bit calmer than the RS but is still at the sportier end of these sub 100 ho bikes . You might like to also try the GSX 8R which is at the less frenetic end of the spectrum …

Nice problem to have ! Have fun 👍

GSX8R is much more upright and felt to me much more like a middleweight sports tourer. The Daytona 660 and CBR650R have a more aggressive riding posture and better top end power making them a better choice if you’re looking for something more on the sport bike side than sports touring. I went with the Daytona 660 because I wanted that more aggressive bike feel and I found the characteristics of a triple cylinder engine much preferable to that of a p-twin and the more even torque and power distribution it has compared to the 4cyl CBR650R. I feel the Daytona hits a real sweet spot in this bike category. Not everything about it is perfect but it has it where it counts most imo. I have about 450 miles on mine at the moment and I’ve loved every one of them.

Hi Dennis , Personally I preferred the 8R but that is as much to do with me as it is the bikes . The rider position on the 8R is more neutral , and the pegs lower reducing the “tucked” feeling of the Triumph which , with a more forward leaning puts more weight on your hands and wrists . The Daytona is the faster , more sporty of the bikes and the engine map adds to that feeling . Riding position is of course influenced by our exact body measurements ie how long are your legs , body and arms . Someone of the same height , can have very different dimensions which is why I always encourage people to make a short list of bikes that might like , and RU-vid videos help in this regard , and then go and try the top 2 or 3 . Returning to personal views , I am getting to the stage where full on sports bikes are more pain than pleasure to ride . The 8R is sporty but not sports and is very easy to ride. Would I like it more if it had another 20 bhp .. yes , but not if to achieve that you had to ride it constantly , on the cam .. Long answer 🤦😂 Hope it makes sense …

Yes, it does. Thanks Michael. I am due to test both this weekend. I tend to ride no more than legal limits, and these days comfort is key. I have a T120 and CB1100. Neither are what some would consider rapid, but are enough for me. Regards, Denis

@@denisg4288Great . Have Fun . If you have time , let us know how you get on 👍

Thank you . Glad you enjoy them 👍

I think it is a good looking bike but certainly accept that looks are very subjective ..thanks for watching , and taking the time to comment. 👍

I thought I wanted the white but when I saw all 3 colors in person I fell in love with the red. Something about the white just looks "unfinished" to me.

Haven’t ridden them all so difficult to call . Maybe one day . It is also very personal . We are like slightly different bikes and set ups . Characteristics that suit one , annoy others . Any of them taken your eye ?

I can understand your view . They are clearly aiming at the less expensive sectors as well and the 8500 -9500 market is quite popular . Glad you liked the video . Thank you 👍

I know what you mean . According to Triumphs description it is “ fabricated” … I tend to use their words for specifications where I can 👍

Haven’t ridden the Tiger 660 so others would be the better judge of that …

what about this bike doesn't compete with the CBR?

@@seeingeyegod price an spec have you seen cbr650 with e clutch

I used to think this Daytona 660 is a watered down pice of sh!t.... till I test driven it. The Daytona 660 proved me wrong after a test drive .... it beats the CBR650R.... it accelerates way faster than expected.... The acceleration will even give my 2019+ Ninja ZX-6R a run for it's money up to 80 MPH, but drives a hell of a lot easier than any supersport in tight Asian traffic.

@thainaaier thats just a feeling because of it being 3 cylinder feels more torqy lets wait for a race battle result . Inlin 4 will win topspeed

​@@MrRGM10and who cares about hard top speed with lesser acceleration? It's better to reach 230 faster than 240 a bit slower , on road the torque and less weight feels much much better than the honda

They have definitely cut some corners to get to the price point but a very capable and quite sporty bike . Faster than most of its Japanese competitors which will influence some . Honda CB 650R might be close ? The Aprilia is more money , which is fine , if you have it ? Probably a case of you pays your money and takes your choice ? Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍

Thanks Julian ! I hear the Extrema is quite a weapon . If I get the chance , I will 👍
