Anyone know or hear anythign about these bikes, I have one sitting out in our office parking lot, havn't talked to the owner yet but the bike looks light. It reminds me of a skinny RR. So who knows about these bikes? Honestly I have never heard of Triumph as a bike company until only recently.

Daytonas are great bikes. You would certainly be in a small class of people who have practically a 1000cc bike with just 3 cylinders. And with an aftermarket pipe, the tone is simply maddening. They are pretty light bikes. The fuel tanks are a composite plastic, not steel which saves some weight. Is it a pre- 2001? If so, the single-sided swingarm looks really trick. The downside is that it is a British bike and with British stuff comes British electronics (may prove to be a hassle). But a buddy of mine has a yellow '99 Daytona and while its not as fast as a CBR 1000RR, its definitely fun riding with him and hearing the exhaust and talking to people about it as it is a somewhat unique bike.

i ride with a guy that races triumphs the daytona 675 he runs is pushin 140rwhp just buy remaping the system nothing mechanical they are awesome

Motorcyclist mag just named the Daytona motorcycle of the year - they liked it better than any of Japan's 600 class bikes.

the speed triples are supposed to be pretty sweet. Triumphs are great bikes. Not to dis are Hondas :) but for the money, there not over priced, check out their retro bike they just brought out, totally old school looking with modern tech ;)

i'm actually considering the new daytona 675... but i'm waiting to see what 07 has in store for the 600RR :D

DDVS you don't mention which daytona it is. the old 600 was a bit of a dog with doggy electronic fuelling. i've heard good reports opn the new 675 which also loks the part. the 955i is getting a bit dated now with the new 1050 engine taking centre stage.

as a bit i ought to fly the flag but with age comes experience..........................hence the honda






remember, whatever you ride, keep it rubber side down
