Heres some specs on a 06 triumph daytona 675. Its an awesome looking bike!

 

Please define your version of BETTER, because my definition could be much different than that of yours.

also, i'd be great if you told us what you HAD. Hard to really give you solid advice if your list ride was a ScootyPuff Jr.

 

Trump, is a bit more focused than your 6 was... On the edge, carve'n. Less apt to make the daily med- high mileage, comfortably as Hondas are known for. They do fine against gsx-r 750's and stay up w/ many 1000's, in the right hands. Have you sat on one????? about as minimalist seat/ tank juncture, as ever seen. If you like sexy, you'll love the tripple howl. The determination of your specific focus, is yours. It would surely stick out in a crowd,w/ the prowess, to back it up. Clean and free, Ripp'n

 

I think that 675 looks awesome, and with 125 HP. Its stands right up there with the RVT 1000R and weighs less.

putting 125hp and 123bhp is a HUGE Difference......The 123 not 125 is measured at the CRANK not the wheel and like i posted in the other thread on this damn bike the Yamaha R6 makes over 130BHP and ours makes 119BHP and the kawi prolly hits a higher BHP than this tri675 also.

So whats the big F***in' deal about this thing.???????????

 

theres no big deal but its a serious contender.

 

I havent seen any factory specs that were measuring HP at the wheel. So whats the big deal about it being measured at the crank??? Thats where all of the HP measurement come from with new bikes.

 

i read 103 at the crank for the 675 in Cycle World. The bike look nice, I just keep remembering the stories that one of my customer's tells me about leaking- (not the 675 but whatever he has). The bike is new, so I will be intersted in seeing the repair history.
