I've owned many bikes new and old of many types. Ive reviewed most of them on this site. When considering which one to assign the perfect 5-stars to out of the many very very good bikes I've owned, there could only be one 5-star bike... my 2006 daytona 675. Its a legend. If I had to pick one bike forever I'd have one of these. It looks so sexy still, it goes harder than the other supersports, it out handles the superbikes and it just doesnt age. Its a comfortable ride in bumpy or smooth roads, its stops, goes and corners intuitively. Its reliab...Read more

I purchased a brand new 2010 Daytona SE (MY11) in October 2010. I haven't used for commuting and as the bike has only 7000kms, you can see that I am only a weekend/great weather rider. To test my skills, I had two track days at Philip Island where the bike's limits were well beyond mine and was very happy with 1m55s lap times for a first timer where the bike performed flawlessly. I've ridden various 1000cc bikes but have never had the urge to upgrade as the performance of my 675 for the road and occasional track day is more than enough. Despite...Read more

My bike was the 2007 model and i loved the overall package awesome motor and great handling with excellent brakes. The suspension bracket failed in the middle of a corner resulting in the whole back end of the bike dropping on to the back tyre and no chance to make the next corner from there.After dealing with Triumph Australia who were helpful, Triumph England fobbed me off, despite that it had happened to other bikes of the same model in the US.It is ironic that the next model came with the bracket made of steel as opposed to cast alloy, no p...Read more

its an excellent bike both on and off the track. its great power, comfy ride and great looks are very appealing.after 3 yrs on my daytona i still am yet to find a bike i would rather ride. from one "average joe" to another, this bike out performs and out manouvers every bike in its class.i have no hesitation in recommending this bike to anybody who is looking for a bike to either turn into a serious racer or just to have fun.
everything. its cumfy to ride, slick looks and suprising power for a middle weight super sports bike are very appealing....Read more

Sensational motorcycle, enough low-down torque for city commuting and enough real power to handle the rest. Huge amount of instantly-available power, unlike the Japanese in-line fours which need a good winding-up. The best factory braking set-up in its class, (comes with SS braided lines as standard)and cornering ability is fantastic. It is also the narrowest mid-size sportbike too, which helps if you're short. Ergonomics: riding position is race/sports oriented, so if that doesn't appeal, consider a tourer. That's not to say this won't tour - ...Read more

Torque to weight is the best thing and the torque is everywherre in the rev range. Really love the bike, in its handling, looks and sound and that is the reason to ride. Unfortunately after 2,700 km, the bike has had the stator replaced, main light and high beam replaced and now needs another battery. Apparently the rest of the bike is still under warranty but the battery warranty has expired. This pisses me off on a new bike. I would buy another and if it does the same I would throw it in the rubbish tip and never look at Triumph again. Its a ...Read more

By far the single most outstanding motorcycle I have ridden.
The first time I saw a photo of the new model I fell in love, two weeks later I had my test ride, 30 minutes after the test ride (for the paperwork) I had paid my deposit. I have clocked up 14,000km in the first year and a half and have not experienced one problem. The bike is faultless. You have to ride a 675 to experience the torque in every gear - its awesome. Roll on from 60kph in top gear or hammer it from 1st up to top (if you have enough clear road)and you will have a grin ...Read more
