Triumph Daytona 660 review: LAMS vs FULL POWER | INFO MOTO
Triumph has launched its new Daytona 660 middleweight sportsbike from $14,790 rideaway, undercutting key rivals in the Yamaha YZF-R7 and Suzuki GSX-8R.
The Triumph Daytona 660 is available in both LAMS and full-power configurations, both at the same price, making it less expensive than the Yamaha YZF-R7 which is sold from $14,849 in LAMS guise, and $15,949 in its high-output form.
Similarly, the Daytona undercuts the Suzuki GSX-8R which will launch in April priced from $14,990, though this model does not qualify for LAMS accreditation due to its 776cc engine (660cc is the capacity limit).
For comparison, the Daytona 660 generates 70kW and 69Nm from its 660cc triple-cylinder engine (LAMS: 42kW and 62Nm), while the Yamaha R7 uses a 689ccc mill outputting 54kW and 67Nm.
The Suzuki GSX-8R features a 776cc parallel-twin engine generating 61kW and 78Nm, which is comparable to the Daytona 660’s figures, although it does benefit from a more advanced electronics suite and comes standard with an up/down quickshifter.
As previously reported, the Triumph Daytona 660 builds on its ‘660’ triple-cylinder platform as debuted with the Trident naked bike, but gains a number of key upgrades including a 17 per cent boost to power and a nine per cent increase in torque.
The bike presents as a fully faired sportsbike with neutral forward leaning ergonomics to strike a balance between sportiness and comfort. A seat height of 810mm should make it comfortable for most new and experienced riders.
Suspension is handled by Showa, with 41mm upside-down forks damping the front end, while 310mm twin brake discs and new Michelin Power 6 tyres round out the major handling features.
Technology features extend to three rider modes (no six-axis IMU) and a TFT dash, while an up/down quickshifter and smartphone connectivity must be purchased as an option.

Just finished paying my last lot of money to the dealership for my 2023 Gen 3 MT-09 SP. Got a yoshi pipe on her rad gaurd. Tail tidy. She is one awesome unit. I am 6'2 and 117kg and i fit like a champ on it. Big jump from my old 80ci harley in power :D
will have the 2024 version in the next month or so super excited currently on a 2008 ninja 250 but I want to upgrade to fuel injected and something refreshing and for $5790 ride away cannot complain one bit
Congratulations mate!
@@INFO_MOTOthanks mate loved the video by the way really showing the way it rides and and explaining how the bikes operating as you ride especially around some of those hairy corners you are a fantastic rider!
I’m surprised Suzuki doesn’t give that bike spoke wheels
Top video great job!
What cc is that
Thank you Sir Showing My Motherland I ❤ My Country TIBET
I gave both a road test, and preferred the Himi - to my mind the gearbox and engine was better, in terms of using it as a travel bike. 80kmh, the revs was high with the CF, economy will be better with the Himi - lower revs at high speed. Throttle was better, and the ergos. So, I could picture myself travelling big distances with it. I couldn’t help but think with the CF, that if I wanted a bike better then the Himi in the dirt I way as well take a modded DRZ. Or a 690. I reckon the 450MT conceptually as being more dirt oriented undoes itself by weighing nearly 195kg. DRZ - 140kg wet. 690. 150kg wet - CRF 300 Rally - nearly the same.
4k video plz
2:48 - Would be great if fuel consumption compared was mentioned. They're both 450s but I've read some big differences in economy / range. 5:38 is a dealbreaker - wth. Once you have driven / ridden with polies there's no going back. That implies a cheap crystal was used.
Spencer ripping up the 457?
Does japan make anything in japan anymore?
well put together review mate, top notch stuff.
I just can't subscribe to your channel - EVERY video is half assed about the project of the video - WHERE is the rest of the video?!? Every video you make is this way, INCOMPLETE! It really pisses me off that you think people want to see this kind of stupidness. So until you get your crap together, no subscribe from me, and I would guess looking at your video views, there are a LOT more people that have the same reservations as me. Content like this should be approaching a million views per video. For instance this video has a whopping 145 comments, I hope you don't run your main business like this - half_assed.
It looks just like a Thruxton...
Faaark!! trail bike riding with MT. Wouldn't get far but it would be memorable. . . btw does Robbie still do his pub trick?
A smaller front sprocket would vastly improve off roading
I pushased a Kawasaki 1400GTr back in 2014,it cost about $24000.00,I just purchased a gen 3 2024 hayabusa under $28000,so 10 years gone by since purchasing the 1400GTR. So $4000 extra for that awesome engine,tech and legend status, a bargain Imho. Excellent review. I am 71years young, a set of heli bar risers,motor tech soft panniers, the busa is a awesome touring machine. At 187cm tall the busa is more comfortable to ride on a distance ride than the 1400GTR.
At the end kinda sounded like a R1
I love the look of the bobber but as an old boy with a bad back and a double hip replacement I like the look of the speed master’s seat 😂
Loved watching your adventures around our beautiful big brown land mate. And Cisco is still eating up the miles!
Himalayan is ground built from a bike manufacturer who has passion for bikes. CF well like nost Chinese products is a copy paste (ktm) job with 0 soul/personality.
Does this bike have steering damper??
윈드스크린만 있다면 최고의 바이크라고 할 수 있어요.
I think it would be fair to say that the look and design/looks of the Scram pretty well reflects what it can actualy do.
I like how you said hello to all the stray cows. I would do that. 😂 Love the view of the adventure.
Cheers mate ✌️
To expensive for the output.
Well done Spence and all the crew at Info Moto Very interesting and well put together
Thanks for watching Nige!

I had a 2013 benelli and you could feel it was detuned. But it was a great bike I had no issues with it for 2 years I let it sit for a few months and the fuel pump rusted out real quick. But easy fix. Handled really well nimble bike I went from that to a gsx650f unrestricted and it felt alot quicker through town compared to the suzy but the suzy was much better quality

Snaggy is an absolute legend ⭐ Champion Dad, champion son!
Spencer is a legend ⭐
Loved it. Free Tibet. ❤
Ladhak is better more challenging and you are free to speak
How did this amazing channel didn’t arrive in my timeline sooner… brilliant stuff
Thank you for watching!
Is that "HARD OFF-ROAD" here in the room with us?
Rash riding is not appropriate in other countries brother. Respect all
Those speed cameras are just installed for the guys like you, who drive 145km/h on a normal road. You will know that you need those cameras when you are hit and hurt by a heavy truck on the road in a remote area with no one in the area.
The RE will still be here after 20 yrs not so much for the mt!
Free Tibet from communist China. Awesome rider you and your buddy are.
Thank you from the deepest of our hearts❤ “Tibetans”
Thank you for having us :)

It's the eighth world wonder!
Good going bud. Loved your perspective. ❤
Cheers mate!
this mf is reckless
How do I find a riding group like yours?
It’s a great bike for what it is ,but I’d rather have a cable instead of ride by wire ,you can fix a cable if your stranded may be I’m just old school ,how reliable is ride by wire any thoughts on this out there maybe it’s just lack of knowlage on ride by wire
Great stuff guys!
Great edit Spencer. Enjoyed seing your POV of the ride :)
So good riding with you mate!
Amazing! Thanks for the adventure! I didn't want it to end. Eye opening in so many ways! Spencer your a legend. ❤❤❤
