Yammie crashed all of them and production couldn't keep up. :(
Came here to say this XD
@@ipariszalonna yammi is trash. Even after crashing his second and nearly killing the porche driver.. he whined that he was a great driver.. fucking idiot.
@@greenrolaids Everyone makes mistakes. Yammies grow up. Now he is saying he was wrong and he is sorry even so now every time he talking about dangerous or reckless riding he give himself as bad example for what he used to be. There is no point beating dead horse. I used to hate him in those days too but now he is changed for good and actually know about what he is talking and give some good advices.
Anton Newman well said.
@@Fearless154 Still a pos
Sorry ,but I think You're talking rubbish ! The 675 died along with the CBR600rr because the latest euro emissions were a unattainable in its 675cc form . That also started a slight decline in 600cc class sales until both Kawasaki and Yamaha upped their game in the 600 market . .
I realise that the state of motorcycle racing in the USA is in steep decline but in Europe it is still great as can be witnessed by the BSB races in Uk for one . Their "superbike" class is probably the best National series in the world and even the "Supersport" is flourishing again albeit full of Kawasaki and Yamaha 600 machines due to the inability of the CBR and the 675 to fulfil noise and exhaust emissions without being dumbed down to what most "sport" riders find acceptable today.By "sport" I mean ROAD riders not pproper racers
To talk about the "middleweight" class and compare with machines of 1000 cc and upwards is ridiculous unless one is frightened to spend their money on the still relatively light middleweights with their superb handling as opposed to unmanageable "superbikes"
with traction ,anti wheelie ,cornering ABS and dumbing down engine modes so the average Hooray Henry can still be "king of the road" .
The 675 just managed to squeeze itself into the Supersport race class because it gave the British manufacturer a chance to relive its old history of sports bikes but unfortunately legislation has killed the 675 so the Company do what others before have and upped the capacity so they can still have a reasonable performance but use some of the extra power to operate on different fuel and noise curves to satisfy the legislators .
In Uk ,currently there is one club running a 765 series with only 10 riders at most in two classes disappointingly.However ,always looking to the US market (if Mr. Trump allows a flat playing field)Triumph are doing very well with the over 50s market .
Their moto2 Dev bike is almost confirmed to have a spin off for consumers.
they would be the dumbest motorcycle company in the world, if they don't bring something moto2 like for the street.
I thought only yammi noob killed 675's.
"Your guess is as good as mine". Great answer. Keep that insider info coming.
They probably dont want yammie to kill more of their bikes... like hell that dudes on his 3rd one and he'll probably crash it also
atleast its a track bike now
@@mr_sowong9464 yeah that means the probability of him dropping the bike on its side is higher...
@@vali69 not rly cause the conditions there r better than the road..
Third time's the charm.
@@ΝικοςΒΠ yeah and he might get too confident again... and instead of hitting a porsche he just crashes and fucks up one side of the bike...
*Yammie Noob punching the air*
lol true
>why Triumph killed daytona 675
>your guess is as good as mine
Why bother, then?
Thanks, I'll skip this one then. I hate pointless videos with a sole purpose of garnering views.
because they're moving onto the new 765cc engine. Triumph became the engine supplier for Moto2 which is an incredible opportunity to validate the new engine. 2020 will introduce a new Daytona 765.
Yammie Noob
Exactly just speculation
R6 is better all-around in terms of price, aftermarket parts, and similar performance. The 765 might fill the hole in the market for 750cc bikes but the price will still be a huge factor. Its hard to justify getting a 675 when you are talking superbike money. Only people who track ride would pick the daytona
I own the gray 2007 Daytona 675. It’s my favorite bike I have ever ridden! The 3 cyl is insanely fun and usable. I was lucky enough to spend a day with a 2013 cbr1000rr fireblade and I actually prefer the 675. The thing is a monster on the street and canyons. It is one of the best sounding bikes too! The instant power is to die for
I love how people who own these overpriced bikes always claim they are so much better then 1000cc bikes. Having ridden one and having owned a gsxr 1000 and an r1 I find that absolutely hilarious.
@@Claudio.d What you just said literally makes no sence and it completely backwards......
@@fenderfan8543 it is better for street and twisty riding

"Why triumph killed the daytona".....your guess is good as mine. Ah quality video here
I think new 765 will be the sickest three cylinder engine ever made for street legal motorcycle...
There is an MV-Agusta F3-800... we will have to wait to compare them!
@@janm.8157 no comparison, those bikes have many issues
@@1984-f7q I don't know exactly what you mean by "those bikes" but even if the F3-800 would be much worse (Wich we can't say because the Daytona isn't here yet...)
we could still compare them...!
@@janm.8157 "those bikes"= the mv you are talking about. and theres online comparisons and reviews between the 675's and the MV's, and they all say the Daytona is the way to go.
@@1984-f7q I didn't say they(Triumphs) are NOT the way to go but still, I say that the 765 could be a total disaster and even worse than the MV Agusta F3-800...! (but the triumphs probably won't!)
My late brother had a 675 😢, this bike will always hold a special place in my heart ❣️
According to Triumph, it was also due to the increasing popularity of the Street Triple. It was just out-selling the Daytona by a pretty large margin. They're only making one run of the new 765 Daytona, then killing it indefinitely.
Why triumph killed the daytona...
Video starts: I dont know your guess is as good as mine....
Skyrocketing prices are a curse for motorcyclists.
Triumph discontinued 675 because they started working on moto2 765 engine and had plans to release new 765 Daytona and its official new 765 Daytona is coming in near future, it will be basically moto2 bike on the streets (triumph started collecting 1000£ deposits for this new Daytona) i think this was a good marketing management done by triumph because they made people hungry for Daytona also increased this engine's popularity by providing moto2 with engines :)
So truw
Yea but then Kawasaki will make the 636 even faster n better motorcycle then the overpriced not reliable Daytona . Japanese is the way to go.
@@artemiotorres92 what
Totally different Bikes
@@artemiotorres92 no
@@artemiotorres92 Haha, Japanese are on the downhill due to lack of creativity and innovation. All their bikes are identical and as bland and guttless. No proper electronics or riders safety, only an outdated inline4 bolted to a twin spar chassis from 1980s. horrendous fuel economy, ugly designs, bikes that covered with cheap plastic. Yeah, Japanese bikes that are made in China and Thailand. 😅
I have a 2015 triumph Daytona 675r and it is the best bike I’ve ever owned. Amazing
Better than cbr600rr
I can’t say. I’ve never rode one. But if you get a chance to ride one you will fall in love.
@@MrDoomzy 👌🇬🇧🙏
I swear, i would get te daytona instead of the zx6
I think the daytona is underrated tbh. If had the money, i would definitely lay my fingers on that thing
Same thought, I have a 2004 636 but it's only because I couldn't afford a 675R.
exactly.. if you had the money ;) but you didnt... hence 636 :)... thats the reason why i pootle oround on a 2004 650 naked... it aint perfect but gets the smile on my face... and thats the reasone why it died offf... to much mone for not much more smile.. and i bet a 636 gets you grinning like an idiot
I am on my second Daytona 955i currently. I will be sad the day it is no longer practical to maintain.
The three cylinder engine with its low end torque and high revs makes it an easy, safe to ride, yet insanely fast bike.
I test rode some 1000cc four cylinder bikes a while ago and was happy to get back on the Daytona afterwards. They are fabulous bikes, but they just don't do what I need. So I hope the Daytona comes back one day. I really do.
new ninja 637 is 9K msrp. let that settle in. It has quick shifter, and full traction control system on full showa suspension. for 9K.
DarkSide Ultimate I love my 07 675 it’s insanely good. 3 cyl is way more fun than 4 cyl!! I spent the day with a cbr1000rr and I would take my Daytona over it
Dang, that 2014 model is so sexy 😣
This video is dumb and bad and could be researched in five minutes. The Daytona died because of Euro 4. They couldn't make it complaint, so they started to develop the 765 powerplant. It came out, but they were still working on the Moto2 variant so it's been pushed to 2020
I'm tired of clickbait videos like this. We begged Triumph to make a bigger cc daytona since all the other manufacturers (cough Yamaha cough) started copying the powerplant. Triumph listened and produced it for the 2017 street triple, their product managers said that IF there is enough demand they will produce it for the Daytona! It was mentioned in 2017 and we all knew we'll have to wait for the euro 5 regulations to be settled before they release it.
Stupid video with misleading information. I did have an 11 675r and the price was fine for what it was. It was still cheaper than a 848 which is a closer comparison than the cookie cutter 600s. It was one of the few bikes in the "middleweight" class with top notch components that was not an exotic or a Ducati. The reason it didn't sell so well is because the triumph dealer network in the states is nowhere near as big as the jap bikes and nor is the production volume.
The 765 engine is being run in Moto2 and with Euro 5 regulations coming into play in 2020 it's pointless to release the new model till then.
It's being replaced by the 765 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Yeah so what is all about? :D :D
WHENS IT COMING THOOOO
not much of a replacement. for europe at least thats the same bike for 2x more taxes.
@@rmonified idk. I'm not a triumph spokesman 😂
@@migflc778 How'd you come to this conclusion?
"...ZX-6R...which is pretty much a better bike in every single way..." umm...in no way is that a true statement lol.
Pls explain, id like to hear the reasoning for your statement
@@CaffeineFreak13 I have a magazine that tested both,,,and they gave the ZX-6R a 10 out of 10 !
But they gave the 675r a 11 out of 10 !!!
I've rode with a Daytona while I was on my 636 and he was no match for me after 3rd gear every time... But I do like the way the 675 sounds for sure.
@@law7116 Oh so that's what you think makes a bike "better in every way" - that you could pull harder at the rev limit? Well duh, that's the point of an inline 4 to make all its power up high, and the added displacement of the 636 obviously gives it the advantage.
Take the bikes to the track or any other technical route, and the 675 will leave the Kawi in the dust - and it has more usable power for everyday riding when you are not pushing its engine limits all the time.
Herro RR for once was talking a bit too much out of his ass with this one. A better argument against the bike would be, that it's price tag coupled with it being less common, simply means it won't be regarded by everyone as a logical buy. Many people buy what they are used to see, because that's what they trust and what they grow up liking. The Kawasaki is just that. It's relatively well priced, and it's a bike everyone and their grandma knows and is used to talk about because it's literally everywhere, just like the other Japanese supersports. They are just the go-to bikes in this class because they are normal and recognizable.
@@Real_MisterSir idk about all that 675 beating a 636 on the track. Anyways, theres better, cheaper things out there. I, for example, got a used zx10r with 16k for $4500 on offer up. You just cant beat that. And would mop over both the 636 and 675r lol on a dig, roll or track.
The zx6r is better in every way than the 675 you said?
man you clearly don't know what you are talking about its either you
didnt take the time to read reviews about the daytona 675 and clearly you didnt
ride one or you are a Japanese bikes fan boy.
Most of my conclusion about the daytona is based on facts :
it has more hp , more torque , lighter, better power down low and mid range etc.
the rest is just an opinion (looks wise and sound wise)
I love the zx6r but you cant argue with these facts that the daytona is by far better in every
single way than the zx6r.
2:26
Personally, the 2011-2012 Daytona is the most gorgeous of them all, when they did the 2013 redesign, I couldn't get over the bug-eyed lights that made it look dorkier and bigger
I didnt actually realise it but the oldest model 675 had more aggressive lights than the 2010-2012, I prefer the oldest headlight style but I have a 2011 and did have a 2010 until I swapped it for the 2011.
Considering the transition to the 765 engine currently being used in the Street Triple and in the Moto 2 scene it’s possible that triumph stopped preduction because of the new engine. Hopefully they release a Daytona 765 sometime in the near future.
Agree..
I’ve been hoping for the Daytona 765r for so long. I’m waiting everyday and on the day they’re announced I’m preordering with my local dealership.
Itll be 2020 onwards due to Euro5
Miden King a wait I’m happy to live with for it.
*Nods vigorously*
This is just bad information. Not only are they continuing the bike and have continued to update it, it's the official bike of MotoGP moto2's series in 2020. The 675 will be replaced with a 765.
Wrong the daytona came back as a heavy low hp 660 lol.
ZX6R better in every way......umm....nope. Also you have a lot of your Triumph facts wrong but you are an American talking about European motorcycles so......
ZX6R better in every way? Respectfully disagree.
Pretty much yes, only difference is the power in low RPMs. If you disagree then explain why? I quess you only think Daytona looks better and thats why you think that way
Rieska better build quality, not so much looks. I’m not discounting the Zx6R, it’s a really nice bike, and is a lot cheaper. I just think the Daytona is on a higher level of quality.
Logan Hermanns It definetly has more premium parts. Not as reliable as Kawasaki/Honda/Yamaha though
Rieska can’t argue that.
@@rieska178 Maybe you could explain why the ZX6R is better than the std. 2013+ Daytona 675?
Matt’s dad here.
You said the earlier Daytonas were replaced by the 600 in 2002. Maybe in another world. But I am modding a 2002 Daytona 955i (sold in the US ) to run at the strip. And YT and the net are full of references to the 2002-2004 955cc Daytona.
Ditto on the triumph rat forums.
955cc liquid cooled EFI bike. 2002-2004 model years. Never ran across any other size Daytona references for those years.
Please explain.
Emissions was the killer. They needed to redesign so they upped the displacement so now you see most of their line up with 765. Daytona will be back, once they get more data from moto2 it will return. Give it a year or two.
nope; its been 2 years
@@nairbyad7188 have you seen the new speed triple 1200rr ? Be sides not having a full fairing it might as well be the new daytona, almost.
@@e_skie2685 surely is nice, but liter bikes are less flick-able
I own a 2003 CBR 954RR Fireblade and a 2009 Daytona Triple 675, I much prefer the 675.
Sorry you lost me when you said the 636 kwak is a better bike in every single way...What fucking planet are you living on Hero?!?!
Still no awnser to the question, just guesses. And your thoughts about a 765 daytona for the future are also just speculations.

Simple answer they must be under major upgradation for decreasing costs ...✌️
Cost of insurance is killing motorcycle ownership in Ontario Canada.... paid 600 a year for 2005 VFR800 (2yrs ago) ...now pay 1265.00 for the same bike..no tickets ...been licensed since 1982....WTF
It's largely based on the model of bike and how many claims they see for that model. I had a 675r in 2011 and it was, hands down, the cheapest 600cc sportbike to insure that I could find. Literally half the cost of insuring a gsxr 600 or r6.
@@neland funny though for my VFR800 in BC Canada = 325.00....Government run Insurance there...should do the same in Ontario b4 Bike..SeaDoos ...Snowmobiles etc become worthless...because people don't want to pay for the Insurance. I sold a 1985 GPZ 550 a couple years ago (rebuilt from the ground up) to 24yr old guy (new rider) told him to check Insurance cost b4 buying (he didn't) ...he found out after $6000.00 🤯...so he rides the country roads outside the city without Insurance instead (I personally do not recommend that).
Cool bike if you’re tall. That’s why Japanese bikes crush it.
Many might not agree but Daytona is the best middle weight super sport ever built.
Why would Triumph discontinue such a great product.. It is one of the best in its class
because the class is dying. Most riders will jump to a 1000cc at one point (or higher) and never look back, the price difference is just too small
Because anyone who is smart
Has cheap 300-500cc 3-6
mid weight 600-800 8-12k
Heavy weight 1000+ 15-17k
Thats life
Dont worry they currently testing a 765 Daytona
I think the biggest reason is most likely the EU and their regulations. The 675 engine would not pass the regulations without an almost complete overhaul and the 600cc class is indeed dying. Since they announced their Moto2 engine, however, fans have been begging for a 765 version and it's being tested and probably (hopefully) will be presented later this year. I've ridden Street Triple 675, my beloved Daytona 675 '11, sadly crashed my first '06 one as someone cut me off, a Speed Triple and the 765 Street Triple S and RS. The 765 RS engine as is would already be a great Daytona engine, but that wouldn't be the usual way Triumph handles their bikes. I guess, it will be somewhere in the 130's, as the Moto2 engine has 140HP.
@@pedrorezende4873 Unfortunately yes given that rider aides are becoming standard, liter class is going to be all that more accessible. The sad fact is 600cc bikes are already overpowered for what you can legally do (I've gotten 3 tickets on my 675 from just not paying attention to the speeds i'm going nor the cops around me) Its only in a extreme situation, would ever you need to use all the power 1000ccs will get you now.
I had a 675 then a 675r - i have a stealth datalogger and it’s still the fastest bike round many tracks I ride round. Like a fool, I bought a Fireblade and went slower 🙈 I swapped that for a Sp Fireblade as I thought it was the Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes making the difference but no - then I got a SP1 Fireblade still slower 🙈 it is mainly because I’m not a very good rider and the 675r has all the power you need with near perfect handling and not too much power that you are always being cautious with the throttle so you can wring it’s neck without overly worrying about the power it makes (for reference I lap Catalunya in 2.05 and Aragon in 2.23). If they make a 765r I’ll be in the queue to get one.
Triumph needs to release a 1050 Daytona. I still miss my 07 675.
This could have taken 30 seconds, maybe less; the reason they killed it off was because of declining supersport sales, so it was no longer viable to make. End of video.
did you just say the ninja zx6r is better in every way than the 675? That killed the video for me..
I was looking for this comment, in what way is a zx6r better? Only scratch more power higher in the revs, less torque.. significantly heavier.. mediocre suspension, cheese for brakes.. and no stock quick shifter. How the fuck is it better in EVERY way exactly?
As for comparing it's price to 1000cc bikes.. if you think power alone makes a good bike or a bad bike.. then fuck.. I have nothing for that logic.
What killed the Daytona is that sportsbike riders in general ride bikes because they want to go fast.. like really fast.. in straight lines specifically, and to that extent.. power is the only concern, the middleweight sports bike is considered a beginner bike or a girl's bike to most groups of people who ride these bikes and therefore it costs too much considering what it is to them. Without any consideration as to what you're actually paying for..
Wtf?! That's the one sportbike I actually like, still want one
Had a 2003 Daytona 955i. Rode the snot out of it until a bad back had me pick up a 2018 Street triple 765 RS.
Had 04 955i for 12 years.It was a great bike.
I just picked up a new Daytona 765 and found this video very informative. As someone new to Triumphs, it gave me a great primer on my new bike's pedigree. Thank you, very well put together.
Content is non-sensical. Total clickbait.
(I owned one, great bike.) Your description of pricing and sales is full of contradictions.
Save yourself! Click on another video before this one plays!!
Already decided to do so after reading this comment:
"">why Triumph killed daytona 675

Why bother, then?"
Every day I wish for the Daytona to return with new 765 motor
didnt they already say its gonna happen?
Itll be 2020 onwards due to Euro5
I have belief that Triumph will relaunch Daytona in litre segment sometime in the future.
man, this video has no information whatsoever.
Love my Daytona 675R. Got the 2017 one. Though no major changes from the previous couple years. It’s a fun bike. Different from the Japanese. Trust me, I’m Honda through and through, but I discovered this bike through chase’s first ride. Completely forgot about the Japanese bikes completely. My brother had a R6 and my close friend has a gixxer 750 and I still choose mine. If you’re thinking about the D675R, get it. You won’t be disappointed. I’ve only seen 2 D675Rs the past 4 years.
2012 triumph Daytona❤
636 better than the Daytona!? Good joke !
I had an 07 KTM Superduke (that I'd buy a good example again!) but a friend had a 675, which he let me ride at the track. What a bike!!!
I have owned 2 of the 675's and loved them, I now ride a 765RS, and this machine rocks, and is very practical for every day use.This bike is an awesome track machine as well.
Did you ever have to deal with the cam chain rattle issue? I'm going through that now... I love this bike, but its making my hair fall out lol
@@bman3800bman3800 I never had that issue. A couple of my mates had head issues, one had the valve pull through, the other (on a 765R) destroyed a cam shaft in about 7000km
my street triple 675 has that but goes after bike warms up@@bman3800bman3800
I had one of the first 675s from 2006. Sold in 2011. Put 64k miles on it (had 2 other bikes during that time). Loved the little guy. Wish some day I'll have another triumph sport bike.
When the ‘06 675 came out it was class leading and unique but the competition eventually caught up. Also the 2013 styling was controversial. Sure they made some improvements but aesthetically it didn’t feel special anymore. I think the best years were 2011-2012. They still look good to this day!
I got a 2016 R1s, in 2017 brand new off the showroom floor for 14k OTD. After tax, title, lisence, and delivery fee's. Well under the msrp of the daytona 675R model. Probably one of the best purchases I have ever made.
Thats awesome! IMO its the best liter bike you can get
Sport bike sales are also suffering due to the popularity of naked bikes which are generally better for real world use. Some sources say that the Daytona 765 is a done deal though so let the middleweight sport bike wars begin!
Has anybody noticed that the video length is 6:57 and the review is about daytona 675( looks kinda similar)
But why
Former Triumph salesman as well as club racer here. Price and diminishing interest in the 600cc supersport market is pretty much the long and the short of it. Before I left my dealership at the end of 2017, Triumph's strategy moving forward is mostly in the Bonneville and Tiger range and all their variants. We would move Street Triples too but on the whole the Daytona and Speed Triples were very slow sellers. Also a 765 Daytona is not a given as Triumph has been lukewarm at best at the idea of bringing another thoroughbred in to their lineup.
Please stop saying 6 seventy five!!! Its 6-7-5
The same way the 636 is 6-3-6
not 6 thirty six!
Great videos by the way, love your content man!
I absolutely love Triumph 3 cylinder motors, if they made a proper modern Daytona true competitor to the Panigale V2 or a liter bike, I'd go for the Triumph every single time.
They are so smooth and sound so perfect.
765 Daytona from moto2, that s the answer!!!!……….i really wish………………..
This guy predicted the R7
675 is faster than the 636
I like that bike and sound too
I had a 2013 Daytona 675 and LOVED the bottom end torque and top end punch at 14.4k rpm! A 765cc would be awesome...anybody know why they never put that 1050 street triple engine to compete in the liter bike class!?
You kill absolutely every video you make. Congrats man. Love the research and the effort. It would be really unique to see someone(like you) to do a really long video on the beginner friend Honda nighthawk line and all the special editions like the cb700sc. Keep doing great work.
Yammie will be triggered when watching this
2nd gens have issues with the rectifier and stator. Other than that they're amazing motorcycles, love my 2011.
the 2005 Daytona 650 is one of the fastest 0 - 60 of ALL time...look it up in MCN.....2.7 sec....The Daytona's are now dead...why no liter bike from Triumph?..my 1200 four is a 180 mph locomotive...
Uhm no, they killed the bike because restrictions in the 600 class meant that nobody invested r&d into these bikes anymore. That's why they are working on the 765 replacement instead because it opens up a world of new possibilities for them to develop a fresh base with new tech and an engine that can be pushed farther than the 675 ever could, as it was already at its limit just like every other 600cc class bike (with modern emissions restrictions and reliability in mind). It doesn't have anything to do with its sales in itself or a lack of interest in the middleweight supersport class. People didn't just stop liking supersports out of the blue. That's just what looking at numbers on a spread sheet will tell you :)
I love 675r
Beautiful machine
Papa yams not going to be happy about this one
He is the part of the reason :)
No truimph daytona 955I?.....
I thought they were more alive then ever withe the GP2 engine’s. Heavenly sounding machines 😇👂🏼
l own a 2014 Street triple 675R here in España...It's a beautiful bike in every way. If l were a bit younger and with a subtle body I'd have one in the stable..
Triumph makes a 1200 inline 3 now in their Speed Triples, or back in older years they had the big 1050 in the Street Triples
So why not give us that 1200, or 1050 Daytona to compete with the Super Sport Liter Bikes
They had a good styled bike but that was it. Triumph doesn't build a quality race engine. Never did. I really liked the 995 but the engine sucked. Styling was great and so was the comfort. Triumph needed a good V-4 DOHC Hemi pistoned water cooled race engine of 1300cc. Back in the my BSA Lightning kicked . Especially after I modified it. Triumphs couldn't touch it. The cops didn't like it either. Triumph does make a good product, not crotch rockets.
Meanwhile nobody canride the Dayton 675 or the ZX6 even close to their potential on the street.
Well to do's who buy their first bike and think the Daytona 675 was cool. I've seen so many Noobs kill themselves on this bike. The light weight combined with the high power made it a killer. It was made for the track and pro sport bike riders. For most it was too much of a good thing.
As a first bike, that is way too extreme. I have ridden fast motorcycles fast for many decades. It takes a set of skills that is slowly developed and put together on par with what a professional musician or athlete would do. Only the price is risking your life to even learn half of it. To take a race bike up to speed without that skill set is like jumping off a building and hoping you somehow land on something soft. .
@@salpairadice I totally agree if you worked your way up the skill level to a 675 it is still a bike that you handle with respect. I'm an EMT and I saw one of these Noobs doing his impression of the Isle of Man on city streets. Told my partner we'd be seeing that one. Sure enough... we did.
Why is the 600cc class dying though? Most beginners start with a used Ninja 250 or 300 or R3 and CBR 300RR. After learning on a bike in that class. A 600cc is the next best level..For them to learn on a 300 then jumping on a 1,000cc liter bike is too much of a jump. A 600cc is the next best level...Guessing manufacturers are killing it on purpose. Not much of a cost difference to build a 600cc vs a liter bike. But 600cc is drastically cheaper.
Can u do a video on why the 600 class is dying?
Sure, I did sorta cover it in my 750cc video but I may make one just on the 600's. ua-cam.com/video/nSKzanRDvYU/v-deo.html
There is a fair chance that it would be back... Those are the rumours. But why? The Street Triple is doing good business. The RS is incredible. Superb fuelling. Why kill that with a Daytona?
I think Triumph stopped producing my Sprint ST for the same reason (sales). I have a 2009 model and it still gets positive comments from people every day. I really wish I could trade mine in for an updated model, but that is not to be, sigh. It's one of the best sport touring bikes I have ridden because it really is more sport than touring (the Kawasaki 1000 SX was a possible upgrade, but they stopped making that too). Why do people like fat, heavy bikes like the FJR 1300 or the Kawasaki Concours and call them sport touring instead of what *I* like (heh heh)?
Slipper clutch has always been standard on D675. And no there are no bikes that actually were made in 2017, the D675 did stop producing in late 2015/early 2016. All bikes that you buy new since are left over bikes. And the super high msrp pricing on the D675 was an indication that it was actually a left over bike. A base d675 was actually pretty cheap compared to other supersport 600. And honestly the engine was not that good anyway, it was boring and bland like an electric motor, but the super sharp handling and nimbleness of the chassis is what made the D675 a fantastic bike. It was actually the best handling bike in the bike world even to this day.

All do yourselves a favour and at least try a 2and hand 675.... I got a 2008 for £2600 (bargain of the year) but even at the going 2nd hand rate you'll be knocked out....on the drive home after I bought it I stopped for fuel just as group out for a ride pulled in, all different bikes in the group but everyone drooled over over my new baby.....we all fancy a new or different bike from time to time but haven't even looked at other bikes since I got her 🥰

What I don't get is why Triumph didn't just do what the Japanese makers did and just keep making and exporting them to the U.S. since the Daytona's R&D has already paid for itself so the relatively few sales would all be relative profits. I understand why they didn't want to make new models due to not selling enough to justify the new R&D costs to meet Euro 5. They could drop the unit price and just let the factory pump low quantities and just ship them to the U.S.
You're also not going to see the other makers fully drop the 600 class as they really only produce and sell them to keep themselves in the official races which require the same model of competing bikes to be sold to the public. The races are how they try and directly measure themselves against the other manufacturers and how they can in the end, try to build up reputation for sales when they do well. The full sponsorship of even several race teams is still far cheaper than some of the most basic advertising packages. a round of 30 second commercials can get to the tens of millions of dollars depending on the time slot. It's one of the reasons why they can still pump out bikes and make a profit. The motorcycle industry doesn't spend nearly as much as the rest of the automotive industry on advertising and exposure outside of racing which the automotive industry does as well.
They started out with what was undoubtedly the prettiest 600 class bike back in 2006, and then every year made it just a bit uglier, up until 2018 when it was just plain hideous, no wonder no one bought them... I owned an '06 back in '08, loved it. Felt like a bicycle between my legs.
Title of the video: Why Triumph Killed The Daytona 675...... "well it could be a number of things", so you don't get the answer because you don't know.
Also missed a point that naked bikes have become increasingly popular --> better ergonomics, handling, equal power, lower end torque. Unless people like track bikes I don't see the industry improving when cafe racers are making combacks, scramblers, groms...I feel like sport bikes are losing their appeal when there are so many cool niche options available now.

Honestly if your speculation of a 700 class comes into play, then im forsure grabbing a daytona 765 .....if the price can compete with the gixxer, no way will it be as affordable as the gixxer but id still gladly pay up to 1200 more if the bike fits me well cus those brits sure make a nice bike.
But that model of S1000RR and that model of R1 were ugly. admittedly so was the latest Daytona 675 but given the choice of the 3.
