The only reason i went with the daytona 660 over the Street Triple R was the fairings. Both have enough power for what i want and it would have been nice to have the fancy IMU's but i do a lot of highway riding and a naked bike just doesnt fit my use case. So far so good, the daytona has been everything i hoped for and wanted.
Hi Terence, great breakdown of the competition list. I'm happy to say that I got my Daytona 660 a few days ago and I'm loving it (US knows that Daytona has 0 doors :)). I discovered long time ago that sport touring bike is my cup of tea. Sporty posture and the way the bike cuts thru air allows my neck to stay relaxed during the ride, especially at higher speeds. Yes, head is in clear air, but there is no need to tense up upper body during a ride. And, yes, triple sound is intoxicating.
The Daytona sure is gorgeous. I already have a Street Triple and it makes me want to downgrade for it. But I refuse to buy a new bike that doesn't have cruise control and I'm going to die on that hill.
Overpriced false supersports are just annoying these days...for another couple of thousands of euro id rather go with the cbr600rr or the zx6r....true supersports...lighter...refined chassis and suspensions ecc...
Price isn't that much of a factor for me right now and the Daytona is still on my list. I have a single (Dr. Z 400s) and a twin (an African one,) so I think I need to round out my stable with a triple. It's either the Daytona new or a 1200 rr used... or a Ducati Supersport....which isn't a triple but just because. They're all pretty bikes. I might wait until next year to see if they come out with a "race" package with exhaust and all that jazzy stuff that rings and whistles
I'm having the same dilemma (zx4rr,street triple r, daytona 660) although i have pretty much decided to go with the Daytona, had a test drive and the engine is amazing!

I would definitely go for the Aprilia. Suzuki second because of the great warranty.
Great video, Tom. Best of luck with the new bike.
Great video brother! Test riding the Daytona 660 the 31st of this month. Cant wait

Absolutely bang on with that video. I’m exactly stuck with the same decision! Ninja 650, or Daytona 660. Heart says triumph though.

Great vid! Like you say so many good choices right now, the ZX4RR is another one I’m also considering
Great video. I purchased a '24 Ninja 650 in January, and took delivery of the '25 Daytona this week. For me, there is enough difference to have both.
Absolutely brilliant😊
Terry
Can’t wait to see your videos.
Nice garage you got there mate, can we have a tour please!
