  • Triumph have answered our prayers and are bringing us a brand new Triumph Daytona!!! But hang on though, this is based on the dumbed down 660 triple platform not the raucous 765 from the Street Triple? Is this the REAL thing??? Stay tuned to find out!

    Lovely bike but once again I feel that the Marketing team in Hinckley have no idea about the history and heritage of Triumph, probably straight out of uni. After their resurgence, I just hope that Triumph doesn't make the mistakes of it's past and lose the plot. Harley started to come off the rails a few years back turning itself into more of a lifestyle and clothing company and making adventure and electric bikes that no body wants.

    Triumph are focusing on giving new riders options right now. Hence the 660 platform & the new 400s. I know everyone wanted a 765RS Daytona with Brembos & Öhlins. But the simple matter is, that would've pushed the price above what young riders can afford.

      i.e. they could release a Daytona 765 , call this one the Daytona 660.
      The Speed Triple RR, with fairing and drop handle bars could be called a Daytona 1200 !
      Mind you this could end up a bit like Kawasaki calling lots of their bikes a ninja !!!!

    Sure it is a much right to tne name as a Daytona as the 675 does. Do anybody remembers there was a 1972 500cc Daytona, then a 1996 Daytona 1200c then a 1997 T595 Daytona 955ccs. The 675 wasn't the first., 2nd or even 3rd Daytona so the fifth Daytona has a much right to the name as the 675 does.
    The 675 was a track oriented sport bike Daytona, this is road oriented sport bike Daytona.

  • @adonutplaysgames

    Eh, I do not like this at all. Less HP & power than the 675 Street Triple R that I am used to (and the long lamented Daytona 675 R at over 120BHP, meaning this 660 is a huge drop in performance). Doesn't look like a proper Daytona. Your comment on it being a "real world Daytona" is something I disagree with. Sports bikes aren't meant to be comfy or "real world". They're meant to be fun, hooligan weapons with screeching exhaust/engine notes that make you question whether sex is all it's cracked up to be (crude but it gets my point across, hah!)
    Were I in the market, I'd much prefer the returning Honda CBR 600 RR. Undertail exhaust, 120BHP at an insane 14,000RPM and looks that make me feel gooey inside.
    All that being said, fab video as always Mr TMF! Hope you get a go of one!

You can bang a 675R all the way up the box, almost pinging the limiter every time, and the thing just pulls and pulls. Add to that the orgasmic induction howl and it feels like you've got an old school V10 F1 car engine.

But as a focused sports bike it’s pretty impressive, and interesting they now tune the airbox for sound so the exhaust stays nice and quiet, but I’m there will some nice fruity after market pipes available soon.

    Yet another bike pandering to the A2 licence. How many power compromised A2 bikes can the market sustain?
    We've regressed 20 years. A Cbr600F4i, from 2001, had more power, was more practical and weighed less. Where's the modern day equivalent for full licence holders? 120-130bhp, practical, faired, middleweight sports bike? They only had to put a fairing on the Street Triple 765RS to make a true Daytona.

      I'm not sure where you're getting "gutless & less practical" The F4i was the stunt bike of choice, the benchmark in practicality and comfort for over 2 decades and won the world super bike title in 2002 before being replaced with the RR. Low down torque has its place, but not at the expense of revs, top speed & bhp in a sports bike. This isn't 20 years of progress, it's regression / pandering to an already bloated A2 licence category. @@delusion2987

    It’s a very attractive price with very respectable specs for that price. I would imagine that their competitors are a bit worried. Still not sure ultimately how many sales there will be in this segment - so many older used bikes available from the last time midrange sports bikes were popular with same/similar specs for less than half the price - which would be a far better bet for track days too.

    Certainly looks a decent sports bike. I personally think just for road use, this mid size is really all you need, and like the fact there's practically just the 'basic' electronic aid's. Price wise, without seeing it in the flesh, is about right, and should certainly be in the mix.

      Lots of those riders shown are quite small, perhaps the same ones used to showcase the 400s, making it look more extreme than it is. Very similar rider triangle to the CBR650R, which for me at 5'11", is a perfect do everything position.

  • @rahulvinodpatil

    This is quite a nice bike, if you ignore the name and take the "What's in a name?" Shakespeare philosophy.
    BUT - it isn't a Daytona, or what a Daytona should be. Triumph could, and should, have named this a Trident 660 RS, or Sprint 660.
    Now get this, a contemporary (2024 model year) Street Triple, even the base 765R , out-accelerates, out-brakes and out-handles its contemporary (2024) Daytona brother. When was the last time a Street Triple was the quicker, faster, sportier model than a Daytona of the same model year? Also, it is so hard to make a top spec sportbike with comfortable sport-tourer ergonomics, rather than give us cut down versions that lack the best tech (engine components, fully adjustable suspension and top spec brakes)?

    strange Triumph being a premium manufacturer benchmarks with non-premium japanese bikes. I'd say Ducati Supersport is the one at least I'll be comparing it against, same power interval too. Triumph will have price advantage, be less desireble. But honestly comparing to R7 is just aiming too low, I think.

    I don't like the artificial plastic panels which are there to give an impression of a aluminium delta box type frame. The steel frame of the trident hides behind this. They should have been more imaginative and used the original trident frame as a feature. Not hide it with plastic panels. If they did that then it would have lighten the bike by a kg at least. Most probably made it cheaper. The Trident feul tank I think would have been a better shape than the street tripple tank. I like the radial mounted disk brakes at the front though. As for me I will keep to the Trident
