Triumph Daytona Photos

The Daytona 675 Motorcycle delivers a killer blow with its combination of outstanding handling and a storming three-cylinder engine. With the lightest and narrowest chassis in the class, the Daytona 675 delivers outstandingly agile and intuitive handling. Fully adjustable suspension front and rear, with separate adjustment for high and low speed compression damping, gives the Daytona 675 superb composure on all surfaces, while top-of-the-range monobloc radial brake calipers up front deliver eye-popping stopping power.

The engine now remains the same 675cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, inline three-cylinder unit getting fed through an advanced multipoint sequential electronic fuel injection system with forced air induction. Fine tuning allowed engineers to squeeze 124bhp at 12600 rpm and 53 ft lbs at 11700 rpm out of it. That’s great if we consider the 407 lbs wet weight and the Daytona’s affinity for fast cornering

All current colour options will remain the same for 2007 and Triumph is right now deciding whether to add another option such as Jet Black. Simon Warburton, Triumph Product Manager, admitted that Jet Black is a nice colour. A surprise for Triumph has been the popularity of the graphite colour option. Triumph only planned 5% of the 675 production with this colour option. Expect this option to be more readily available in the dealer network next year. The 2006 batch has already been sold out so the 2007 production batch will be on sale already from this autumn.

But despite being powered by a three-cylinder engine instead of a four-cylinder one like the majority of middleweight supersport bikes, especially the Japanese ones, the Daytona 675 is up for the challenge with great performance figures as well as chassis capabilities and marvelous design.

An additional great feature of this bike is the recalibrated engine management system accepting Triumph’s quick-shifter, one of those cool accessories that riders simply must have for these bikes.
Powered by the critically-acclaimed 675cc three-cylinder engine producing 126bhp, the Daytona 675 SE is mechanically identical to the standard Daytona 675, which has received universal praise since its introduction at the start of the year, winning numerous road and track based group tests against its supersport class competitors.

- new Pearl White color scheme, a brand new color that has not been used on any other model, with eye-catching new blue decals for a distinctively high-class finish.
Good news for fans of the new Triumph Daytona 675 triple. It has been an instant success for Triumph and the bike is pretty much on backorder worldwide", Trevor Barton from Product development states. Barton also told us that Triumph will build more than 7500 675s for the 2007 model year. That’s a staggering 17% of the overall production of Triumph motorcycles at Hinckley. No doubt the 675 has been a big hit! Expect one or two new colours, like the Jet black pictured, and not much else on the 2007 Daytona 675 Triple.
The adjustable front and rear suspensions, with separate settings for high- and low-speed compression damping, can be made to work optimally on every type of surface, from roads to smooth race tracks. Radial-mount monobloc calipers in front work with the well tuned front suspension to provide sure-footed braking in all circumstances.

Updates for 2010 include new instruments, decals and a new color option in Caspian Blue paint with gold wheels.
