A lot of professional reviewers find it difficult to keep the flow of the content natural and relevant. You have a knack for it. Enjoyed watching your videos. Subscribing to your channel!
Hands down one of the best videos I've seen on RUclips. The sense of speed you nailed, the colors are vivid and amazing, feels like I'm rocking a tinted visor and going balls out. The way you explained the bike and still kept going is impressive. Top notch work dude.
Probably the best motovlogging review on any bike out there! If you'll be doing more videos with this excellent level of technical explanations, this channel will really flourish. Keep the reviews raining!
Finally! A good review with fast, noisy, fun to watch footage, usually it's a little bit of spirited riding with no commentary, and then all the facts and commentary whilst cruising around boring roads, you've hit the nail on the head, subbed
+jjdd ishere It would really depend on the skill of the rider. Any 1000 is going to have a big power advantage in a straight line, the BMW has easily 60-70hp more than the 675R. The Daytona is certainly lighter and more agile in tight corners than a 1000 though. At track days, skilled riders on 600s are often faster than other less skilled riders on 1000s.
Thanks for the review Its my dream bike! Still a little less then a year before i can enrol for lessons for the open category license tho. Just obtained my mid tier license last month.
I agree with the one under me, I know this is old but your style of reviewing is refreshing dawg! I watched a million videos recently and none compare. Thumbs up bro, ride hard!
Excellent ride-on video and great quality as always. Oh and I remember the turn at 7:00 where u met a van/pickup truck reversing down the road in another of your video. I hope u gets more Subs. Keep it up!
Thank you! Good eye on the corner from the other video. I'm a bit gun shy there now with the driveways and such, but to be honest the whole road is littered with driveways and requires a bit of extra caution.
My 2010 Triumph STR has been modded over the years with a SuperSprox 520 conversion with +2 rear sprocket, Arrow 3-1 full exhaust and tune, Sargent seat, QuickShifter, KyleUsa linear rear linkage with Ohlin's TR805 shock, and various cf bling. On the 50 mph twisty back-roads around here it pulls so hard in top gear, easily hitting 100-110 mph just rolling on the throttle, that lower gears are optional. It barely weighs 400 lbs gassed up and the handling, especially with the linear linkage, is effortless and telepathic with never a hint of instability on fast bumpy corners. It even rides smoother over the bigger bumps with the linear linkage (which was developed for the Daytona). I have hit a speedo-corrected 142 mph on level highway which is not bad for a naked middleweight bike. Although I can afford a 1000cc sport-bike if I want one, I agree with you that more is not necessarily better for riding on public roads. I have enough trouble avoiding jail on this bike!
Great video. You are higher quality content that some of the most popular RUclipsrs. Keep it up and thanks for the amazing review. I'm looking to get one of these in the next few months and this just persuaded me even more!
Great review! I have the Street Triple, and you highlighted the differences nicely, nice riding too - great to see a supersports ridden hard vs. a litre bike ridden well within its limits.
Woah, first video of yours I love seen, and the editing looks beautiful, man! Nicely tuned and the vignette adds a nice touch, maybe lower it a bit so it's more subtle, but still better looking than any other motovlogger! Don't stop making content brother, just subscribed haha
you should really consider applying at one of the major networks, hands down best review I've ever watched very fluid riding with very good explanation of why the bike does what it does, seriously i want a 675r now and I've been looking at a used 2014 zx10r, definitely subbed now!
Who are these ppl lending their bikes out? I barely am ok w/ giving it to the mechanic. No one touches my bike. 17 Daytona 675R White. Ive laid the smack down on 1000's on the street and the track with it. Love it dearly.
Nice review on the 675r. I find if I sit back on the seat my knees line up good with the tank cut outs and tech spec grips. Especially in full tuck position. These are great motorcycles and he nailed pretty much all the key points of this model. I wouldn't borrow anyone's bike though, but I had to learn the hard way with that....:/
l gotta say that this in my humble opinion is one of the best (or best!) reviews of this 675RR l've seen and l've watched 99% of them believe me! lm very impressed, because the Daytona is an excellent bike, but l learnt more about it from this rider than from 15-20 other combined reviews. The petrol tank knee grooves are a key point, its engines fuel performance and engine braking are specifics which are also very important too. l have committed to buy a Daytona as soon as l am blessed with the finance, but my full respect goes to you for providing honestly one of the best and most intelligently helpful bike reviews l've seen on RUclips and l've watched hundreds. It is this type of applied logic and experience that saves riders lives. My dad rode bikes in the Police force and l got the bug from watching him, he still rides and lm looking to get back into the saddle too. This video has inspired me more and l think a lot of us have truly enjoyed it. l would love to see you on the Aprilla please as l've always loved those bikes too...enuff respect to you!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Best of luck with acquiring your Daytona, I'm sure you will love it! I'm currently working on a whole series of videos about the Aprilia, so stay tuned! Thanks again.
I've just purchased a 675r and your right it's a cracking bike but the knee thing on the tank is so correct, I'm 5'9 and have the same problem. But hey it's one of the best bikes I've ever ridden 👊
Absolutely, compared to how good the rest of the bike is the tank shape issue is a small complaint. Plus it would be remedied relatively easily with a couple additional pieces of tank grip material to go on the plastic fill panels.
I have the 675r and i dont have that problem at all... maybe my legs are longer or shorter but it fits me perfectly and im 6'0. Perhaps it's just a body dimensions issue.
+Evan Smith I've done a 1000miles on it now and don't notice it! Maybe I just needed to get use to the riding position. I still think it's better than the 2012 fireblade I had 👊
Yeah I actually had meant to say that in the video, that riders with longer legs than mine might find it perfect. In reality it's a small issue that is easily fixed by adding a couple small additional pieces of tank grip material. Such a great bike in every other way!
Great vid! I really enjoyed the sense of humor and your style of editing. Nice riding as well, like others have said, you clearly know those roads and was able to put the bike through it's paces nicely. I've decided on a Triumph as my next bike, but have not had an opportunity to ride a post 2012 Daytona yet. A friend of mine has a 2013 Street Triple which I enjoy riding immensely. My draw to the Daytona is the narrow body which I think will be superior for traffic. Soooo... Gun to your head: As an every day bike, commuting and weekender, would you choose this Daytona or your wife's Street Triple? (Both would be 2013 - current model)
Thanks for the comments! Oh man that is such a hard choice. You're absolutely right that the Daytona is better for splitting lanes, because it's narrower. The wider bars on the Street Triple tend to align with car mirrors so you can't easily get through gaps that the Daytona would sneak through. I would lean ever so slightly towards the Street Triple, since it's more versatile. My wife rode a 1400 mile road trip on the Street Triple, I don't think I'd attempt such a feat on a Daytona (maybe when I was younger). I really want to build the best of both worlds... take a Street Triple and buy a crashed 675R and swap the engine and suspension onto the Street Triple. ;)
OMG finally someone talks about the 3-4.5k rpm triumph power dip. It was there on my speed triple and is there in my 765 rs as well. I DID manage to dial it out using tune ecu. Apparently its an emissions thing with the stock maps. Can't do anything on the RS since the ecu is locked out and I'm not getting a pcv because the bike is epic otherwise. Sport mode does take it away, but its super noticeable in road mode. Thanks. I used to think I'm crazy or cursed with weird bikes
Ideally even the full system map should be optimized further with the aid of either bazzaz or PC5 together with a dyno and a competent tech. Fueling is near perfect on my non R 2013, i have none of the mid 4k issues you mention. Mine is equipped with Austin Racing slipon/MJS header+PC5 with custom map+BMC filter. Nice review, subbed .
Yeah for sure a custom tune is always best! On my old '07 D675 I had a custom tune done via Tuneboy and a local well known dyno tuner. There's actually an old video of that on my channel here - ruclips.net/video/YsE-85sWyaE/видео.html
I have a '12 675R. Much prefer the looks of the '06-'12 with the high tail exhaust and like the logo style they used on my R. As for riding it's THE BEST handling and LEAST comfortable bike I've ever ridden. My wrists kill after only 20-30 mins but I love it anyway. Excited to get it out on the track this season!
I'm absolutely with you! I keep throwing around the idea of picking up a '12 R for a track bike. The old school in me likes undertail or high mount exhausts way better than the new "lowboy" style.
The tank is probably designed that way for racing. Once you put on raised, aftermarket rearsets you can get everything lined up properly. Dunno why the ST3 would get designed the same way though.
Thanks for the comments! I did a little bit of color grading in post, mostly on the GoPro clips in the intro. Everything else was just a quick levels adjustment and minor color correction in Adobe Premiere.
Great review and you mentionned a very interesting point. This is the number one bike on my wish list but as I'd certainly go for an older model, I'll have to check the ergonomics.
SUPER video, especially the beginning! What camera and mike do you use, I cannot get that clean sound on my Drift Ghost-S is crap. BTW, I own 2014 Daytona non-R (amongst others, I have superbike as well) but with quickshifter and I love it. I only ride it in alpine hairpins (I am based in Switzerland). :-) Is that your wife at the end of the video riding passenger on the back of Daytona? :-) She is fun!
Thanks! ;) For the on-board video portions I'm using a GoPro Hero 4 Black with my Sena 20S helmet communicator and Sena GoPro Bluetooth backpack. That is my wife at the end of the video ahead of me on her Street Triple. With the Sena GoPro setup you can record the voices of anyone the helmet communicator is connected to as well. Enjoy the bike and those amazing alpine roads!!
Thank you. I gotta get me that Sena 20S. Though I do not know who I would talk to, my girl, unfortunately, decided to give up biking. :-( Women on bikes = awesome, congratulations! I enjoy all my bikes, even my 2002 CBR600F, after gearing change and suspension upgrade it still has it. Daytona is just so much more modern. The 1000cc machines are great as well, I have those as well, and tried most of them (S1000RR, RSV4 Factory, new R1, 1299S Panigale, etc, also F3 800, 899 Panigale, CBR1000RR with full Bazzaz) but the supersports are still the most fun to ride in the twisties, because they are easier, and, as you said, one can use the rev range so much more. Therefore, I found you video the best so far, the riding is good, the scenery is breathtaking, the sound is crisp, the bike is magnificent, what you say agrees with my experience, the woman on a bike is awesome...I put this video on my personal blog. Best Wishes!
Nice review on the 675r. I find if I sit back on the seat my knees line up good with the tank cut outs and tech spec grips. Especially in full tuck positIon. These are great motorcycles and he nailed the pretty much all the key points of this model. I wouldn't borrow anyone's bike though, but I had to learn the hard way with that....
Great review flying goat! I'm curious to discover which would you prefer as a track only weapon...your tricked up RSV4 with effortless grunt, sublime handling but a touch heavy... Or a lightweight flickable 675r , but tuned to say supersport spec of 140bhp?? I'd love to hear your opinions on this dilema!
Oh man that is such a hard question. You know what they say about power... it corrupts! ;) The best part about the middleweight bike at the track would be that it's not as intimidating. Holding the throttle wide open and trying to force yourself to keep it pinned right up until you need to brake on the RSV4 (or any 1000cc bike) as you accelerate violently towards the corner is hair raising to say the least. But that spinning the tire and then having it power wheelie as the tire hooks up is an intoxicating experience. Tire budget would certainly be cheaper on the the 675, and you'd go through less fuel. I think the issue you'd run into with a supersport spec 140bhp 675 is that you'll be spending a lot of money to refresh the motor once a year, compared to the stock (albeit Italian) reliability of the RSV4. Why can't we just have both?!? I realize this doesn't answer your question at all, but it explains why I just want a bigger garage and more bikes...
I'm 67 now. But when I was younger I raced a bone stock 1976 Triumph T140V Bonneville in what we called cafe style back road races. I admit to removing the huge, heavy mufflers and also the seat cushion. I also installed drag bars becaus eClip-ons were to rare. She won every race from January 10th 1977 till when I parked her in September 1986 to get married and raise a family. I ended up bringing her out again in 1992 she was 17 years old and a little clapped out. Low compression due to worn rings and leaking valve seats. I raced and won against gentlemen wearing full professional race suits while riding the new Kawasaki Ninja 1100 fuel injected bike that was speed limited to 179 mph. Accelerating up to that limiter she was a beast. But she lost to the handling on my Bonneville. Also a Honda V1000 Interceptor fell to my Triumph. I still have my Triumph and she is 20 feet from me as I type this. I still ride. In fact I am riding my cruisers cafe style as in left hand on the front downtube and crouching under the wind and removing the seat to sit lower. They handle twice as good but are 300-450 lbs to heavy for the job at hand. Which is back raoa corner carving with short straights. I am interested in the Daytona 675R mostly because of its weight, and handling. I have a question. At speeds between 35 and 45 mph does she have enough torque to steer with the throttle in the curves? That's my method. I close the throttle to drop into the curve and if I over do it I just roll on the throttle to pick her up again. I don't move a muscle. I sit still and steer with the throttle. Well I am already hanging off a bit. My 750 cc Twin had enough torque to do this and along with the factory 4030 chromoly frame that never flexed -she never lost. I practiced all the time. I never cut anyone off. My belief is if you can win against her and me then I must allow that. It is irresponsibly poor sportsmanship to do nasty things just to claim a victory. No one ever won. They all got to read the "Triumph" logo printed in gold on the back of the seat cover. I only removed the cushion. So what do you think, does the 675R have enough torque at those speeds? BTW my T140V was 395 lbs stock and after I removed the huge exhaust canisters and blinkers and seat she was around 365 lbs wet. I would go with the new Thruxton but they are around 438 lbs wet. Too heavy in my opinion. But it would have the ooomph to throttle steer. Don't make me take out my 1976 Bonneville again. It would entail hours of work to get the compression up. I can do that. But I accept the possibility that the 2017/2018 motorcycles should be faster on a back road. Not 100% convinced though. So maybe I will need to work on my engine and bring her out in the sunshine and let her breath deep and run for the win. In truth I would need to replace every rubber grommet on the shocks because they are all dry rotted. Yes, of course I have new replacement parts in 3 boxes and a workshop manual and many tools. I forgot to purchase rings and valves and valve springs cause I though what I had would last forever. BTW I beat the fuck out of her when racing. It was always do or die. No holding back. She never blew up. I stopped raing her because the nigh she beat that Kaw 1100 Ninja and he was overheard to say he hit 179 mph in our race, well him and a few fucks decided to mess with my Bonneville. They loosened a nut on the long bolt under the engine that held it in place. That allowed the engine to shift around while racing and I broke a frame triangular gusset going home that night. Also the loose rear footpeg vibrated off and caught inside the chain and rear sprocket breaking a tooth. That's what made the engine twist in the frame enough to crack the engine mounting plate in half. The frame plate is chrome moly so I did not trust anyone to weld her up. I can purchase that gusset/frame/plate for around $75. That is the real problem, if I replace that she is good to go without any engine work (just won't be as fast as she was). Lastly I broke my hips (again) in a Honda Aero crash and broke my right tibia and fibula in 8 places so I have a rod and 5 bolts in that leg. I am kind of afraid to kick start my Bonneville. Once (and only once) in all her years she kicked back. But Once is enough, if she ever did that and with my leg the way it is. Well I would not want to be me if that happened. What happened was my boot slipped off the kick starter and that's how I got hurt (for 10 min of pain). But if that happened now I will say again "I would not want to be me". I could use my left leg to kick start her. She is kick start only. So there is indeed a work around for every problem she has. Still a grey bearded man racing kids on a 41 year old motorcycle just looks so stupid! -Peter
I always enjoyed talking to other riders who spent good amounts of money to hop up their bike and still lost to my Triumph which I did not spend a penny on parts. Wait I'm wrong, the drag bars cost me $20. Oh, forgot those same fucks loosened the bolts that held the drag bars in place. When I got home most of them were missing! I used black electricians tape to firmly attach the bars. The tape is still holding them on. Never bothered to purchase new nuts and bolts for the bars. Because with my style I do not use that much leverage on the bars anyway. I hang off and push with my knee on the gas tank toward the direction I want the bike to go. I do a lot of dancing on the pegs! My method is a sure way not to ever have a head shake or speed wobble. When you counter steer using the bars you are torquing the front wheel a little. If you hit a bump with the wheels out of true, that's going to shake the entire machine at speed. I always kept the width of my front tire as my line in a curve. That's why she never lost.
RUclips telepathy plugin! ;) Any of the naked sport bikes will feel a bit roomier for tall riders, since the footpegs will be typically lower (less cramped knee angle) and upright handlebars will keep you sitting more comfortably. That being said, if you're more into full fairing sport bikes being tall isn't terrible. Worst case you can get aftermarket rearsets and move the footpegs rearwards and/or down to make a bit more room. You'll have the advantage most of the rest of us never have, you'll be able to flat foot both feet on even the tallest seat heights!
Great review bud, I'm stuck between the MT10, previous gen R1 and the Daytona as my next bike what are your thoughts on the three ? I'm 5ft 8 bike will be for weekend fun
Daytona is hard to beat! In that crowd I'd say it's the best looking of the 3 and potentially the most unique if that's your thing (I usually like having something different than what everyone else has). Can't go wrong with any of them though. The MT10 is a weapon! Not a huge fan of the looks though, but that's just my opinion. Good luck choosing, I'm sure you'll love whatever you end up with!
TheFlyingGoat cheers for the input, same as you love the MT10 just can't get on with the looks. So Many good second hand options especially the 636r or even the MV f3 all come in that price point soooo much choice haha
Thanks! Yeah I used to not care much about shooting in 4K but after seeing the improvement in quality when downscaling (plus the benefit of being able to adjust framing in post) now I shoot everything in 4K when I can.
how comfy this bike is in long rides? what is maintenance cost , is it equal to Japanese bikes ? i heard it is very hard to find parts and it stayed in the shop till they get from England ? great review . thankx
For a super sport bike it's pretty comfortable. Maintenance cost is going to be similar to Japanese bikes. Major services are every 12k miles (valve adjustment check) which I believe is the similar to other makes. I've found that parts cost is similar as well, cheaper than other European bikes for sure. Our local Triumph dealer (Rocket Motorcycles in San Diego) has been great and they keep all commonly needed parts in stock, and Triumph has a US headquarters in Georgia (I believe) so if anything needs to be ordered the wait is usually just a week at the most. I suppose if you need something that isn't in stock in the US warehouse the wait would be longer, but we haven't run into that issue so far.
It's pretty comfortable for a sport bike, but there are obviously better/more comfy bikes for touring. I did a couple 200-300 mile days on my old Daytona and it wasn't too bad.
Great review dude i myself ride a 2013 Triumph Daytona 675R and echo everything you have said its class leader by far over the rest of the super sports as it comes with such high spec goodies and definitely with the right rider will keep up with the bigger boys through the twists truly awesome machine 👌Adam 🇬🇧
No doubt! Which makes me think it would also be fine for shorter riders with aftermarket adjustable rearsets as well... or just a bit more tank grip tape.
Lovely scenery! Which Super Sport would you recommend for someone upgrading from an entry ninja 300? For street riding. Need something forgiving and with abs to save my ass
The Daytona makes a great street bike since it has a good amount of midrange power, so you don't necessarily need to rev it way out to make it go (like a R6 for example). If you're looking for mostly a street bike the Street Triple is really a better bike, IMO.
I have an 08 Street Triple and the knee pads are just right. (I'm also 5' 10".) I have noticed that I have started sitting closer to the tank so perhaps that is it -- if you scoot back your knees go lower.
I have the GoPro mounted to the chin area of my helmet. Since Shoei doesn't have any good area on the chinbar to attach a GoPro mount I ended up putting the mount off to the side and using a couple articulating arms to get it centered in the chinbar. If you look up on RUclips "GoPro chin mount Shoei" you'll see some instructional videos made by other RUclipsrs, I followed their advice for the mounting setup.
Have you ever ridden an R6? The 675r has been kinda like my dream bike. You had me a little worried about taller people riding. I'm 6 foot 4 and I seem to fit well on my 08 r6. Really hoping to be able to get a 2012 or better 675r. Anyways, if you have ridden an R6 from 08 or up, can you think of any big differences? If not, all good, awesome video!
I think if you fit OK on the R6 then the 675R will be just fine. I believe (if the ergo specs I'm seeing online are correct) that the 675R has a taller seat height as well as a slightly longer reach to the bars, which makes me think it's a tad more roomy than the R6. I think the biggest difference you'd noticed between the R6 and Daytona is mid-range power, the R6 seems to make most of it's power very high up in the RPMs. Thanks for the kind words!
+TheFlyingGoat, can you help me out and expand on what you mean when you say your prior 675 was "mostly" reliable? A guy near me is selling his '13 675R for a pretty solid price, and I'm considering picking it up. Also, would love to see a video from you on the S1000RR. I love that bike.
I had a few issues over the years with the old Daytona, but nothing too crazy. Stator and Regulator kicked the bucket around 35k miles, and the biggest one was my fault (for incorrectly diagnosing it). I had oil and coolant mixed (aka milkshake) which my previous experience with cars told me was a blown head gasket. So I pulled the motor and replaced the head gasket (and freshened up the head while I was at it) only to have the same exact thing happen when I fired the bike back up. It turned out that the oil-to-coolant oil cooler had a crack inside it, and that was the actual cause. The oil cooler failure isn't unheard of with those bikes, but it seems to be mostly on track bikes that run no coolant but just water and Water Wetter. Possibly without the anti-corrosion additives in regular coolant the small passages inside the cooler become weakened. Could have saved myself a lot of time and money if I hadn't diagnosed that one wrong. ;) That's a good idea on the S1000RR video, I've ridden one at the track but would love to spend some more time on one. I have a couple friends with them... let me see what I can scheme up...
+TheFlyingGoat Hey, thanks for the response man! Would those issues stop you from owning another Daytona? It seems like they are a sweet handling bike. I like the idea of a middleweight triple.
I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. My wife has a Street Triple R that's been super reliable for us as well. There are good deals out there on 675R's now that the Daytona will soon be discontinued...
I have a serious question I'm looking into one of these do you think it's worth getting out of my GSXR 750 and into the Daytona. I would trading in my 2007 GSXR and getting a 2017 675r. My current bike is in great condition no issues at all I just love the triumph and kind of want a new bike. I love the look and sound of the bike. But I know it has less horsepower and I never road one so looking for an honest opinion to help aid in my decision. Thanks btw great video
The 750 is definitely a great bike. On the street I bet you would not really notice the lower peak power of the Daytona, and the two bikes are probably similar when it comes to mid-range power. The Daytona has more "character" in my eyes, and especially the R model with the Ohlins and carbon fiber just seems more "special". Now is the time if you're wanting a Daytona... it seems that Triumph is discontinuing it this year so it might be your last chance to get a Triumph supersport bike!
Nice. I have an 09 Daytona which I would like to change for the newer shape at some point. I absolutely love the blue and white (which I have at the moment) and this colour mat black and red. I keep looking but there just aren’t any around for sale that are any where near where I live. I’ll keep searching, I have no rush as I love my current daytona👌
hey this is an older video but how would you compare the older daytona 675 versus the daytona 675r ? I'm interested in buying one but can't decide which, Thanks in advance!
Thanks! For audio I'm using the Sena 20S helmet communicator along with the Sena Bluetooth GoPro Backpack. The GoPro is mounted to the chin area of my helmet with a few articulating arms (since the shape of my Shoei doesn't allow for a simple chin mount).
The Daytona is about as comfortable as most super sport bikes... which is to say not very comfortable when you're not going fast. The Street Triple is much more comfortable for commuting and long distance traveling.
Probably OK, a lot of people including myself started on a 600 cc sport bike without issue. The bigger thing I think is that starting on an expensive full fairing bike is nerve wracking for a new rider. Most people accidentally drop their bike at some point or another when they're learning. If you drop a used SV650 or something, the cost is probably going to be $0 or at least very cheap. If a 675R falls over when parking you're going to do hundreds or thousands of dollars in damage. Everyone is different though!
This video was amazing. The quality of the content is great. Very well put together my man
Thank you! Lots more coming soon, and always looking to improve!
I can tell you know that road well, man. Nice riding!
A lot of professional reviewers find it difficult to keep the flow of the content natural and relevant. You have a knack for it. Enjoyed watching your videos. Subscribing to your channel!
Thank you! It is pretty difficult to ride at a brisk pace and still talk without it turning to absolute gibberish. ;)
Hands down one of the best videos I've seen on RUclips. The sense of speed you nailed, the colors are vivid and amazing, feels like I'm rocking a tinted visor and going balls out. The way you explained the bike and still kept going is impressive. Top notch work dude.
Thank you!!
Your chanell will grow exponentially with this content, It's so professionally done. Great job my man!
Thank you!
Probably the best motovlogging review on any bike out there! If you'll be doing more videos with this excellent level of technical explanations, this channel will really flourish. Keep the reviews raining!
Thanks for the kind words. More reviews in the works, videos coming soon!
Finally! A good review with fast, noisy, fun to watch footage, usually it's a little bit of spirited riding with no commentary, and then all the facts and commentary whilst cruising around boring roads, you've hit the nail on the head, subbed
Thanks for the feedback!
Just like the comment below me said, great review and commentary, as well as editing skills! Subbed!
Thanks!
+jjdd ishere It would really depend on the skill of the rider. Any 1000 is going to have a big power advantage in a straight line, the BMW has easily 60-70hp more than the 675R. The Daytona is certainly lighter and more agile in tight corners than a 1000 though. At track days, skilled riders on 600s are often faster than other less skilled riders on 1000s.
I watched, subscribed, liked and put it in my playlist the first time i saw it. This is an excellent, straight to the point video review. Awesome!
The 2017 has 128bph, which gives it (dry) a better weight-to-power ratio than a: Bugatti Veyron, Pagani Zonda, or a ZX-14R.
superb
Thanks for the review Its my dream bike! Still a little less then a year before i can enrol for lessons for the open category license tho. Just obtained my mid tier license last month.
I agree with the one under me, I know this is old but your style of reviewing is refreshing dawg!
I watched a million videos recently and none compare.
Thumbs up bro, ride hard!
Excellent ride-on video and great quality as always.
Oh and I remember the turn at 7:00 where u met a van/pickup truck reversing down the road in another of your video.
I hope u gets more Subs. Keep it up!
Thank you! Good eye on the corner from the other video. I'm a bit gun shy there now with the driveways and such, but to be honest the whole road is littered with driveways and requires a bit of extra caution.

On the 50 mph twisty back-roads around here it pulls so hard in top gear, easily hitting 100-110 mph just rolling on the throttle, that lower gears are optional. It barely weighs 400 lbs gassed up and the handling, especially with the linear linkage, is effortless and telepathic with never a hint of instability on fast bumpy corners. It even rides smoother over the bigger bumps with the linear linkage (which was developed for the Daytona). I have hit a speedo-corrected 142 mph on level highway which is not bad for a naked middleweight bike. Although I can afford a 1000cc sport-bike if I want one, I agree with you that more is not necessarily better for riding on public roads. I have enough trouble avoiding jail on this bike!
Great video. You are higher quality content that some of the most popular RUclipsrs. Keep it up and thanks for the amazing review. I'm looking to get one of these in the next few months and this just persuaded me even more!
Great review! I have the Street Triple, and you highlighted the differences nicely, nice riding too - great to see a supersports ridden hard vs. a litre bike ridden well within its limits.
Up to now I watched two of your videos (the r1 is the other one) and I really like them. You have a great way of telling a story. *subscribed*
Woah, first video of yours I love seen, and the editing looks beautiful, man! Nicely tuned and the vignette adds a nice touch, maybe lower it a bit so it's more subtle, but still better looking than any other motovlogger! Don't stop making content brother, just subscribed haha
Thank you! Lots more content coming soon! I have a bunch of videos in the works right now.
you should really consider applying at one of the major networks, hands down best review I've ever watched very fluid riding with very good explanation of why the bike does what it does, seriously i want a 675r now and I've been looking at a used 2014 zx10r, definitely subbed now!
Thank you!!
Fantastic review mate, you deserve way more subs than you have now with reviews like that. Keep up the good work :)
Thanks for the kind words!
Wow dude. I watch a ton of bike videos for fun...and this was fantastic. Good work!
Thank you! Life and work has been getting in the way but I have more videos coming soon!
Who are these ppl lending their bikes out? I barely am ok w/ giving it to the mechanic. No one touches my bike. 17 Daytona 675R White. Ive laid the smack down on 1000's on the street and the track with it. Love it dearly.
Nice review on the 675r. I find if I sit back on the seat my knees line up good with the tank cut outs and tech spec grips. Especially in full tuck position. These are great motorcycles and he nailed pretty much all the key points of this model. I wouldn't borrow anyone's bike though, but I had to learn the hard way with that....:/
Here befor your youtube channel blows up
this Video gave me multiple eargasms. What a great Sound this Bike has!!
Aw man this video takes me back used to live around there and ride those roads too!
l gotta say that this in my humble opinion is one of the best (or best!) reviews of this 675RR l've seen and l've watched 99% of them believe me! lm very impressed, because the Daytona is an excellent bike, but l learnt more about it from this rider than from 15-20 other combined reviews. The petrol tank knee grooves are a key point, its engines fuel performance and engine braking are specifics which are also very important too. l have committed to buy a Daytona as soon as l am blessed with the finance, but my full respect goes to you for providing honestly one of the best and most intelligently helpful bike reviews l've seen on RUclips and l've watched hundreds. It is this type of applied logic and experience that saves riders lives. My dad rode bikes in the Police force and l got the bug from watching him, he still rides and lm looking to get back into the saddle too. This video has inspired me more and l think a lot of us have truly enjoyed it. l would love to see you on the Aprilla please as l've always loved those bikes too...enuff respect to you!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Best of luck with acquiring your Daytona, I'm sure you will love it! I'm currently working on a whole series of videos about the Aprilia, so stay tuned! Thanks again.
ruclips.net/video/vZhNv3ThdlI/видео.html
Check this one too😊
first video i have seen of urs and gotta say i am now a new subscriber really like the way u vlog u keeo it interesting
Thanks! Lots more videos coming soon!
I've just purchased a 675r and your right it's a cracking bike but the knee thing on the tank is so correct, I'm 5'9 and have the same problem. But hey it's one of the best bikes I've ever ridden 👊
Absolutely, compared to how good the rest of the bike is the tank shape issue is a small complaint. Plus it would be remedied relatively easily with a couple additional pieces of tank grip material to go on the plastic fill panels.
I have the 675r and i dont have that problem at all... maybe my legs are longer or shorter but it fits me perfectly and im 6'0. Perhaps it's just a body dimensions issue.
+Evan Smith I've done a 1000miles on it now and don't notice it! Maybe I just needed to get use to the riding position. I still think it's better than the 2012 fireblade I had 👊
Yeah I actually had meant to say that in the video, that riders with longer legs than mine might find it perfect. In reality it's a small issue that is easily fixed by adding a couple small additional pieces of tank grip material. Such a great bike in every other way!
Nice work! Great scenery, bike, commentary, video... subbed.
Great review. Great audio, clean video and informative. Subbed. :)
Thank you!
Great vid! I really enjoyed the sense of humor and your style of editing. Nice riding as well, like others have said, you clearly know those roads and was able to put the bike through it's paces nicely. I've decided on a Triumph as my next bike, but have not had an opportunity to ride a post 2012 Daytona yet. A friend of mine has a 2013 Street Triple which I enjoy riding immensely. My draw to the Daytona is the narrow body which I think will be superior for traffic. Soooo... Gun to your head: As an every day bike, commuting and weekender, would you choose this Daytona or your wife's Street Triple? (Both would be 2013 - current model)
Thanks for the comments! Oh man that is such a hard choice. You're absolutely right that the Daytona is better for splitting lanes, because it's narrower. The wider bars on the Street Triple tend to align with car mirrors so you can't easily get through gaps that the Daytona would sneak through. I would lean ever so slightly towards the Street Triple, since it's more versatile. My wife rode a 1400 mile road trip on the Street Triple, I don't think I'd attempt such a feat on a Daytona (maybe when I was younger). I really want to build the best of both worlds... take a Street Triple and buy a crashed 675R and swap the engine and suspension onto the Street Triple. ;)
LOVED THE REVIEW...GREETINGS FROM INDIA.
Thank you!
@TheFlyingGoat where is that road starting at 2:40?
awesome, Do you like this more or 6R?
Thank you for having experience and not being a brand new preachy rider. Good insight. Well done.
You deserve waaaaaay more sub's. Amazing riding. Which road is this? Headed to Julian?
Thank you! It's a mix of roads, but yeah heading towards/around Julian. Highland Valley Rd, Old Julian Hwy, Sunrise Hwy, etc.
Amazed you have so few subs. Great review and vid of a fantastic bike. Subbed.
Thank you! Just getting started!
that intro.. SUPER SPEED.. love it
OMG finally someone talks about the 3-4.5k rpm triumph power dip. It was there on my speed triple and is there in my 765 rs as well. I DID manage to dial it out using tune ecu. Apparently its an emissions thing with the stock maps. Can't do anything on the RS since the ecu is locked out and I'm not getting a pcv because the bike is epic otherwise. Sport mode does take it away, but its super noticeable in road mode. Thanks. I used to think I'm crazy or cursed with weird bikes
Ideally even the full system map should be optimized further with the aid of either bazzaz or PC5 together with a dyno and a competent tech. Fueling is near perfect on my non R 2013, i have none of the mid 4k issues you mention. Mine is equipped with Austin Racing slipon/MJS header+PC5 with custom map+BMC filter. Nice review, subbed .
Yeah for sure a custom tune is always best! On my old '07 D675 I had a custom tune done via Tuneboy and a local well known dyno tuner. There's actually an old video of that on my channel here - ruclips.net/video/YsE-85sWyaE/видео.html
Out of curiosity, how much does a custom tune cost?
SineOccasu
Mine was 300$ but that of course changes depending on location.
Sunedosa
Indeed, thank you.
Yeah I would say expect to pay $300-500 depending on who's doing the tuning. So worth it!
Subscribed! Nice quality man, keep it going!
Nice review! Useful final comments re: liter bikes and track time. And no stupid house "music". Thanks for posting!
Thank you!
I have a '12 675R. Much prefer the looks of the '06-'12 with the high tail exhaust and like the logo style they used on my R. As for riding it's THE BEST handling and LEAST comfortable bike I've ever ridden. My wrists kill after only 20-30 mins but I love it anyway. Excited to get it out on the track this season!
I'm absolutely with you! I keep throwing around the idea of picking up a '12 R for a track bike. The old school in me likes undertail or high mount exhausts way better than the new "lowboy" style.
Where are these roads you were bombing? Asking for a friend new to SD ;)
Just bought a 2016 yesterday. I'm 6'4".....It's a bit cramped but still not terrible. I love this bike.
Damn your a really good rider love your vids! Subbed!
Thank you! A lot more content on the way!
The sound on those flybys tho!
I've got another video coming soon of just the flybys and such too. :)
nice review... but why does he sound similiar to levelcap?
The tank is probably designed that way for racing. Once you put on raised, aftermarket rearsets you can get everything lined up properly. Dunno why the ST3 would get designed the same way though.
im really enjoying editting style and commentary, keep it up.
at 3:50 were you in 1st or 2nd gear when you did that power wheelie?
I believe that's a 1st gear corner, so the wheelie started in 1st and you can hear I shift to 2nd and it stays up (gotta love quickshifters!)
Do you add any post processing to your videos by any chance? the colors look so rich, it's almost cinematic. Tremendous video. Subbed!
Thanks for the comments! I did a little bit of color grading in post, mostly on the GoPro clips in the intro. Everything else was just a quick levels adjustment and minor color correction in Adobe Premiere.
Great review and you mentionned a very interesting point. This is the number one bike on my wish list but as I'd certainly go for an older model, I'll have to check the ergonomics.
SUPER video, especially the beginning! What camera and mike do you use, I cannot get that clean sound on my Drift Ghost-S is crap. BTW, I own 2014 Daytona non-R (amongst others, I have superbike as well) but with quickshifter and I love it. I only ride it in alpine hairpins (I am based in Switzerland). :-)
Is that your wife at the end of the video riding passenger on the back of Daytona? :-) She is fun!
Thanks! ;) For the on-board video portions I'm using a GoPro Hero 4 Black with my Sena 20S helmet communicator and Sena GoPro Bluetooth backpack. That is my wife at the end of the video ahead of me on her Street Triple. With the Sena GoPro setup you can record the voices of anyone the helmet communicator is connected to as well. Enjoy the bike and those amazing alpine roads!!
Thank you.
I gotta get me that Sena 20S. Though I do not know who I would talk to, my girl, unfortunately, decided to give up biking. :-( Women on bikes = awesome, congratulations!
I enjoy all my bikes, even my 2002 CBR600F, after gearing change and suspension upgrade it still has it. Daytona is just so much more modern. The 1000cc machines are great as well, I have those as well, and tried most of them (S1000RR, RSV4 Factory, new R1, 1299S Panigale, etc, also F3 800, 899 Panigale, CBR1000RR with full Bazzaz) but the supersports are still the most fun to ride in the twisties, because they are easier, and, as you said, one can use the rev range so much more. Therefore, I found you video the best so far, the riding is good, the scenery is breathtaking, the sound is crisp, the bike is magnificent, what you say agrees with my experience, the woman on a bike is awesome...I put this video on my personal blog. Best Wishes!
Nice review on the 675r. I find if I sit back on the seat my knees line up good with the tank cut outs and tech spec grips. Especially in full tuck positIon. These are great motorcycles and he nailed the pretty much all the key points of this model. I wouldn't borrow anyone's bike though, but I had to learn the hard way with that....
Great review flying goat!
I'm curious to discover which would you prefer as a track only weapon...your tricked up RSV4 with effortless grunt, sublime handling but a touch heavy...
Or a lightweight flickable 675r , but tuned to say supersport spec of 140bhp??
I'd love to hear your opinions on this dilema!
Oh man that is such a hard question. You know what they say about power... it corrupts! ;) The best part about the middleweight bike at the track would be that it's not as intimidating. Holding the throttle wide open and trying to force yourself to keep it pinned right up until you need to brake on the RSV4 (or any 1000cc bike) as you accelerate violently towards the corner is hair raising to say the least. But that spinning the tire and then having it power wheelie as the tire hooks up is an intoxicating experience. Tire budget would certainly be cheaper on the the 675, and you'd go through less fuel. I think the issue you'd run into with a supersport spec 140bhp 675 is that you'll be spending a lot of money to refresh the motor once a year, compared to the stock (albeit Italian) reliability of the RSV4. Why can't we just have both?!? I realize this doesn't answer your question at all, but it explains why I just want a bigger garage and more bikes...
San Clemente area? Man I miss Cali!
Sorry, saw it was in San Diego.
Sounds so good. Quick shifter? I just saw that NCHM has a blowout on that same bike. Leftover 15' under $10g's. It's on my short list.
Wow, that is a great price! Do they have a white one?!? ;)
+TheFlyingGoat not sure. Give them a call, they were blowing them out though. The white is sick too. But that flat black... So good, like your Prilar
I'm 67 now. But when I was younger I raced a bone stock 1976 Triumph T140V Bonneville in what we called cafe style back road races. I admit to removing the huge, heavy mufflers and also the seat cushion. I also installed drag bars becaus eClip-ons were to rare. She won every race from January 10th 1977 till when I parked her in September 1986 to get married and raise a family.
I ended up bringing her out again in 1992 she was 17 years old and a little clapped out. Low compression due to worn rings and leaking valve seats. I raced and won against gentlemen wearing full professional race suits while riding the new Kawasaki Ninja 1100 fuel injected bike that was speed limited to 179 mph. Accelerating up to that limiter she was a beast. But she lost to the handling on my Bonneville. Also a Honda V1000 Interceptor fell to my Triumph. I still have my Triumph and she is 20 feet from me as I type this.
I still ride. In fact I am riding my cruisers cafe style as in left hand on the front downtube and crouching under the wind and removing the seat to sit lower. They handle twice as good but are 300-450 lbs to heavy for the job at hand. Which is back raoa corner carving with short straights.
I am interested in the Daytona 675R mostly because of its weight, and handling. I have a question. At speeds between 35 and 45 mph does she have enough torque to steer with the throttle in the curves? That's my method. I close the throttle to drop into the curve and if I over do it I just roll on the throttle to pick her up again. I don't move a muscle. I sit still and steer with the throttle. Well I am already hanging off a bit. My 750 cc Twin had enough torque to do this and along with the factory 4030 chromoly frame that never flexed -she never lost. I practiced all the time. I never cut anyone off. My belief is if you can win against her and me then I must allow that. It is irresponsibly poor sportsmanship to do nasty things just to claim a victory. No one ever won. They all got to read the "Triumph" logo printed in gold on the back of the seat cover. I only removed the cushion.
So what do you think, does the 675R have enough torque at those speeds? BTW my T140V was 395 lbs stock and after I removed the huge exhaust canisters and blinkers and seat she was around 365 lbs wet.
I would go with the new Thruxton but they are around 438 lbs wet. Too heavy in my opinion. But it would have the ooomph to throttle steer.
Don't make me take out my 1976 Bonneville again. It would entail hours of work to get the compression up. I can do that. But I accept the possibility that the 2017/2018 motorcycles should be faster on a back road. Not 100% convinced though. So maybe I will need to work on my engine and bring her out in the sunshine and let her breath deep and run for the win. In truth I would need to replace every rubber grommet on the shocks because they are all dry rotted. Yes, of course I have new replacement parts in 3 boxes and a workshop manual and many tools. I forgot to purchase rings and valves and valve springs cause I though what I had would last forever. BTW I beat the fuck out of her when racing. It was always do or die. No holding back. She never blew up. I stopped raing her because the nigh she beat that Kaw 1100 Ninja and he was overheard to say he hit 179 mph in our race, well him and a few fucks decided to mess with my Bonneville. They loosened a nut on the long bolt under the engine that held it in place. That allowed the engine to shift around while racing and I broke a frame triangular gusset going home that night. Also the loose rear footpeg vibrated off and caught inside the chain and rear sprocket breaking a tooth. That's what made the engine twist in the frame enough to crack the engine mounting plate in half. The frame plate is chrome moly so I did not trust anyone to weld her up. I can purchase that gusset/frame/plate for around $75. That is the real problem, if I replace that she is good to go without any engine work (just won't be as fast as she was). Lastly I broke my hips (again) in a Honda Aero crash and broke my right tibia and fibula in 8 places so I have a rod and 5 bolts in that leg. I am kind of afraid to kick start my Bonneville. Once (and only once) in all her years she kicked back. But Once is enough, if she ever did that and with my leg the way it is. Well I would not want to be me if that happened. What happened was my boot slipped off the kick starter and that's how I got hurt (for 10 min of pain). But if that happened now I will say again "I would not want to be me". I could use my left leg to kick start her. She is kick start only. So there is indeed a work around for every problem she has.
Still a grey bearded man racing kids on a 41 year old motorcycle just looks so stupid!
-Peter
I always enjoyed talking to other riders who spent good amounts of money to hop up their bike and still lost to my Triumph which I did not spend a penny on parts. Wait I'm wrong, the drag bars cost me $20.
Oh, forgot those same fucks loosened the bolts that held the drag bars in place. When I got home most of them were missing! I used black electricians tape to firmly attach the bars. The tape is still holding them on. Never bothered to purchase new nuts and bolts for the bars. Because with my style I do not use that much leverage on the bars anyway. I hang off and push with my knee on the gas tank toward the direction I want the bike to go. I do a lot of dancing on the pegs! My method is a sure way not to ever have a head shake or speed wobble. When you counter steer using the bars you are torquing the front wheel a little. If you hit a bump with the wheels out of true, that's going to shake the entire machine at speed. I always kept the width of my front tire as my line in a curve. That's why she never lost.
Very good unbiased review Chip 👍👍.
Thanks!
7:52 Yes I am 6'2" how did you guessed that!!!!
Also which bike will be more suitable then for the height such as mine.. ?
RUclips telepathy plugin! ;) Any of the naked sport bikes will feel a bit roomier for tall riders, since the footpegs will be typically lower (less cramped knee angle) and upright handlebars will keep you sitting more comfortably. That being said, if you're more into full fairing sport bikes being tall isn't terrible. Worst case you can get aftermarket rearsets and move the footpegs rearwards and/or down to make a bit more room. You'll have the advantage most of the rest of us never have, you'll be able to flat foot both feet on even the tallest seat heights!
The tank cut outs are perfect for my 34" inseam. I could see how it could be an issue for a shorter rider though.
Great review bud, I'm stuck between the MT10, previous gen R1 and the Daytona as my next bike what are your thoughts on the three ? I'm 5ft 8 bike will be for weekend fun
Daytona is hard to beat! In that crowd I'd say it's the best looking of the 3 and potentially the most unique if that's your thing (I usually like having something different than what everyone else has). Can't go wrong with any of them though. The MT10 is a weapon! Not a huge fan of the looks though, but that's just my opinion. Good luck choosing, I'm sure you'll love whatever you end up with!
TheFlyingGoat cheers for the input, same as you love the MT10 just can't get on with the looks. So
Many good second hand options especially the 636r or even the MV f3 all come in that price point soooo much choice haha
What trouble did you have with your Daytona?
2:08 was is shot on 4K and scaled down to 1080p?
Yes, I usually shoot everything in 4K when I can and then downscale to 1080p.
TheFlyingGoat now I understand why my 1080p looks crap, thanks for reply , amazing video ! My dream bike
Thanks! Yeah I used to not care much about shooting in 4K but after seeing the improvement in quality when downscaling (plus the benefit of being able to adjust framing in post) now I shoot everything in 4K when I can.
how comfy this bike is in long rides? what is maintenance cost , is it equal to Japanese bikes ? i heard it is very hard to find parts and it stayed in the shop till they get from England ? great review . thankx
For a super sport bike it's pretty comfortable. Maintenance cost is going to be similar to Japanese bikes. Major services are every 12k miles (valve adjustment check) which I believe is the similar to other makes. I've found that parts cost is similar as well, cheaper than other European bikes for sure. Our local Triumph dealer (Rocket Motorcycles in San Diego) has been great and they keep all commonly needed parts in stock, and Triumph has a US headquarters in Georgia (I believe) so if anything needs to be ordered the wait is usually just a week at the most. I suppose if you need something that isn't in stock in the US warehouse the wait would be longer, but we haven't run into that issue so far.
thankx
Hey man, great video! Daytona is such a great experience, cheers from India!
nice sound and performance. I love this bike
great quality video. I'm surprised you don't have more subs. you have 1 more.
damn I love that bike is it komfortable enough for a longer tour?
nice video thx
It's pretty comfortable for a sport bike, but there are obviously better/more comfy bikes for touring. I did a couple 200-300 mile days on my old Daytona and it wasn't too bad.
Good ride! Must play that drinking game again! Keep the vlogs coming!
Great review dude i myself ride a 2013 Triumph Daytona 675R and echo everything you have said its class leader by far over the rest of the super sports as it comes with such high spec goodies and definitely with the right rider will keep up with the bigger boys through the twists truly awesome machine 👌Adam 🇬🇧
Thanks for the comment. Ride safe!
Awesome bro where is all this at? Love the ocean view and the twisty 🤘🏻San Diego area?
please give the sound generique name of this video ??
Though the tank grip issue might be fixed if you grow a few more inches
No doubt! Which makes me think it would also be fine for shorter riders with aftermarket adjustable rearsets as well... or just a bit more tank grip tape.
Lovely scenery! Which Super Sport would you recommend for someone upgrading from an entry ninja 300? For street riding. Need something forgiving and with abs to save my ass
The Daytona makes a great street bike since it has a good amount of midrange power, so you don't necessarily need to rev it way out to make it go (like a R6 for example). If you're looking for mostly a street bike the Street Triple is really a better bike, IMO.
Good review, excellent commentary. You're obviously immersed in the medium per your remarks. ✌🏼️😎♠️♠️♠️
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
I have an 08 Street Triple and the knee pads are just right. (I'm also 5' 10".) I have noticed that I have started sitting closer to the tank so perhaps that is it -- if you scoot back your knees go lower.
Good advice!
Nice channel man you’ve earned a sub
This or my 4th r6? Great review, love socal
Pick up a 675 this week and I'm in SD, be cool to meet up for a cruise sometime brother. Ride safe!
can you please where is the camera mounted :D
I have the GoPro mounted to the chin area of my helmet. Since Shoei doesn't have any good area on the chinbar to attach a GoPro mount I ended up putting the mount off to the side and using a couple articulating arms to get it centered in the chinbar. If you look up on RUclips "GoPro chin mount Shoei" you'll see some instructional videos made by other RUclipsrs, I followed their advice for the mounting setup.
because your footage looks so wide, and it actually looks good. great video.
Have you ever ridden an R6? The 675r has been kinda like my dream bike. You had me a little worried about taller people riding. I'm 6 foot 4 and I seem to fit well on my 08 r6. Really hoping to be able to get a 2012 or better 675r. Anyways, if you have ridden an R6 from 08 or up, can you think of any big differences? If not, all good, awesome video!
I think if you fit OK on the R6 then the 675R will be just fine. I believe (if the ergo specs I'm seeing online are correct) that the 675R has a taller seat height as well as a slightly longer reach to the bars, which makes me think it's a tad more roomy than the R6. I think the biggest difference you'd noticed between the R6 and Daytona is mid-range power, the R6 seems to make most of it's power very high up in the RPMs. Thanks for the kind words!
What do you use to record your video ? The video quality is stunning !!!
GoPro Hero4 for the on-board and a Sony NEX-5R for everything else.
great vid. is this in 60fps? looks like it is, but youtube doesn't show that it is 60fps?
Thanks! It's 30fps. The slowmo in some of the slider shots was originally 60fps but slowed down to match the GoPro and other clips all at 30fps.
Very nice video...675R is certainly atop my bike list.
Same here, and now is a good time to snag one for a good deal if you can find a dealership with a leftover one since they've been discontinued!
+TheFlyingGoat, can you help me out and expand on what you mean when you say your prior 675 was "mostly" reliable? A guy near me is selling his '13 675R for a pretty solid price, and I'm considering picking it up.
Also, would love to see a video from you on the S1000RR. I love that bike.
I had a few issues over the years with the old Daytona, but nothing too crazy. Stator and Regulator kicked the bucket around 35k miles, and the biggest one was my fault (for incorrectly diagnosing it). I had oil and coolant mixed (aka milkshake) which my previous experience with cars told me was a blown head gasket. So I pulled the motor and replaced the head gasket (and freshened up the head while I was at it) only to have the same exact thing happen when I fired the bike back up. It turned out that the oil-to-coolant oil cooler had a crack inside it, and that was the actual cause. The oil cooler failure isn't unheard of with those bikes, but it seems to be mostly on track bikes that run no coolant but just water and Water Wetter. Possibly without the anti-corrosion additives in regular coolant the small passages inside the cooler become weakened. Could have saved myself a lot of time and money if I hadn't diagnosed that one wrong. ;)
That's a good idea on the S1000RR video, I've ridden one at the track but would love to spend some more time on one. I have a couple friends with them... let me see what I can scheme up...
+TheFlyingGoat Hey, thanks for the response man! Would those issues stop you from owning another Daytona? It seems like they are a sweet handling bike. I like the idea of a middleweight triple.
I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. My wife has a Street Triple R that's been super reliable for us as well. There are good deals out there on 675R's now that the Daytona will soon be discontinued...
That's great to know! Thank you!
How much the price now?
where can i get that exhaust !! i cant seem to find where to buy it
For some crazy reason Akrapovic only made a few and then stopped making them.
I have a serious question I'm looking into one of these do you think it's worth getting out of my GSXR 750 and into the Daytona. I would trading in my 2007 GSXR and getting a 2017 675r. My current bike is in great condition no issues at all I just love the triumph and kind of want a new bike. I love the look and sound of the bike. But I know it has less horsepower and I never road one so looking for an honest opinion to help aid in my decision. Thanks btw great video
The 750 is definitely a great bike. On the street I bet you would not really notice the lower peak power of the Daytona, and the two bikes are probably similar when it comes to mid-range power. The Daytona has more "character" in my eyes, and especially the R model with the Ohlins and carbon fiber just seems more "special". Now is the time if you're wanting a Daytona... it seems that Triumph is discontinuing it this year so it might be your last chance to get a Triumph supersport bike!
Thank you so much this will def add in my decision and your review was awesome by the way. Thank you again. Love your content btw 👍🏼
Nice. I have an 09 Daytona which I would like to change for the newer shape at some point. I absolutely love the blue and white (which I have at the moment) and this colour mat black and red. I keep looking but there just aren’t any around for sale that are any where near where I live. I’ll keep searching, I have no rush as I love my current daytona👌
Awesome review! Nice B-roll btw ;D
Thanks!
hey this is an older video but how would you compare the older daytona 675 versus the daytona 675r ? I'm interested in buying one but can't decide which, Thanks in advance!
where in San Diego is that back road ?
The video has a bit of Highland Valley Road, Old Julian Hwy and Sunrise Hwy.
What mic do you have and gopro mount at? Great editing man!!
What canyon road is that? so beautiful!
Thanks! For audio I'm using the Sena 20S helmet communicator along with the Sena Bluetooth GoPro Backpack. The GoPro is mounted to the chin area of my helmet with a few articulating arms (since the shape of my Shoei doesn't allow for a simple chin mount).
A couple different roads in the video, mostly Highland Valley Rd and Sunrise Highway, both in San Diego, CA.
this is a good bike for comuting and travel or you recomend another one?
The Daytona is about as comfortable as most super sport bikes... which is to say not very comfortable when you're not going fast. The Street Triple is much more comfortable for commuting and long distance traveling.
great video man!! great review!!!
Thank you!
wish to know the road you ride on :)
Amazing video of an amazing bike.. Instant subscription =D Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
bear with me if somebody asked before, what's the camera you are using? that surely looks pretty stable and detailed in image.
The onboard shots are from a GoPro Hero 4 Black and everything else is shot on a Sony mirrorless (similar to DSLR) camera, the A6300.
Are you not concerned about hitting a twig and flying off the bike head first into a tree at that speed..? How do you do it? Solid review though
Would this be an OK bike for a first time mature rider?
Probably OK, a lot of people including myself started on a 600 cc sport bike without issue. The bigger thing I think is that starting on an expensive full fairing bike is nerve wracking for a new rider. Most people accidentally drop their bike at some point or another when they're learning. If you drop a used SV650 or something, the cost is probably going to be $0 or at least very cheap. If a 675R falls over when parking you're going to do hundreds or thousands of dollars in damage. Everyone is different though!
