As the first three-cylinder super sports middleweight,
the Daytona 675 has become a force to be reckoned with
in the most hotly contested arena in motorcycling. The
675 has gone
from strength to strength, having won countless comparison
tests and proudly wearing the crown as King of the Supersports
bikes in both the Supertest and Masterbike international
multi-magazine tests for two years running.
The gorgeous Daytona 675 is an exciting
bike that owners will never tire of riding. The 675cc,
liquid-cooled, three cylinder, 12- valve power unit
is extremely compact, featuring a Keihin fuel injection
system and a stacked six-speed close ratio gearbox.
Peak power of 125PS (123bhp) is delivered
at 12,500rpm, with 72Nm (53ft.lbf) torque at 11,750rpm.
The standard exhaust features an
efficient underseat end-can and uses a secondary valve
to boost low down torque. The 675cc engine meets fully
the stringent Euro-3 emission regulations and, while
the engine is refined, the triple’s innate character
remains with typical Triumph toughness engineered all
the way through.
The Daytona 675’s aluminium
frame is fabricated with open-back cast spars which
wrap over the top of the motor, accentuating the benefits
of the narrow three-cylinder design.
Rake is set at 23.9°, trail at 89.1mm with a wheelbase
of 1,395mm. Dry weight is 165kg (363lbs).
Top quality, fully adjustable Kayaba
41mm upside down forks and a fully adjustable piggyback
reservoir rear shock take care of the suspension. The
sports focused riding position of the Daytona 675 comprises
of a firmly padded narrow seat for maximum feedback,
low set clip-on handlebars and high rearset footpegs.
A radial master cylinder and twin
radial four-piston calipers work on the front floating
308mm discs, matched by a 220mm rear disc and single
piston caliper. The wheels are a lightweight five-spoke
design with dimensions of 17 x 3.5in (front) and 17
x 5.5in (rear) and they wear the super sticky Pirelli
Super Corsa road/track compound tyres. Front tyre size
is 120/70 ZR17, the rear is 180/55 ZR17.
The Daytona 675’s digital
instrument console has all the usual trip functions
as well as displaying average fuel economy. Also featured
is a sophisticated lap timer – useful for comparing
successive lap times on a circuit as well as average
and maximum speed for each lap.
A programmable gear change indicator
illuminates seven LEDs to let you know the perfect point
at which to change up, for optimum performance: You
can program in both the engine
speed and the illumination sequence. The LCD panel also
tells you which gear you are in at all times.
The stylish twin projector beam
front headlights have been updated for 2008 and now
use new-style lenses in the projectors, changing the
light distribution to give an excellent spread of light.
Seat height is 825mm, fuel capacity is 17.4 litres (3.8
gal).
Colour options for the Daytona 675
are Jet Black and Neon Blue, both new for 2008, which
arrive alongside the popular Tornado Red option. Also
new for 2008 are the bigger, bolder
decals adorning the bodywork. A full range of official
Triumph accessories are available for the Daytona 675,
including a carbon fibre front mudguard, infills, heel
guards and a silencer
cover. A free flowing Triumph exhaust can is also available
(for circuit use only) and Arrow, the racing specialists,
have produced a full Titanium system (available through
Triumph
dealers) that saves over 6kg in weight and adds 5PS,
again for circuit use only.
The Daytona 675 has taken the motorcycling
world by storm since its launch, redrawing the super
sports middleweight map thanks to its exciting, powerful
engine and intuitive, razor
sharp chassis. Sitting firmly within a class of one,
the 675 delivers incredible performance and has truly
earned the praise heaped on it by some of the toughest
critics in the
motorcycle press.
The Daytona 675. Incomparable.
