- Literally went from the MSF safety course one week to riding my Triumph Daytona 675 120miles the next week back home with no issues. It is a beautiful machine! My very first motorcycle ever!

I found this video so funny, I did the same thing as you, passed my class went 2 hours out and bought an 07 TD675 rode it for 4 hours haha! WHAT A BLAST!
Very cool man, I did things similarly to you. One day I walked into the local Harley dealership, signed up for the MSF course and picked out a new 2014 Sportster. I actually did the paperwork and bought the bike, then had to leave it sitting in their showroom for a week until I completed the course and could ride it home. I've put 10,500 miles on it so far and am already thinking about adding a second bike to my garage. The 2013+ Daytona 675 is at the top of my list, they are such beautiful bikes! Thanks for posting this video, it's another little nudge toward getting one of my own!
Might be getting one this upcoming week. Excited af
I want that exhaust soo badly.
You made the right choice. My first bike was a Yamaha R3 and I can tell you after a year and a half of riding, the 600+ supersport motorcycles are actually EASIER to ride than the Yamaha R3. I wish I would have started on a 600 cc or higher. The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R (Model Year 2013 or newer) would have been just perfect as a first bike. Anyway, I recently upgraded to a 2013 Triumph Daytona 675R, and I'm loving it. And yes... It's easier to ride than the R3.
BlackMaleASMR how come?
@@xiongproductions7445 The R3 didn't have a slipper clutch, but the 600cc supersport bikes do. Also, that generation of R3s had horrible aerodynamics. The 600cc bikes had better aerodynamics. The R3 is so light that a slight breeze on the highway could nearly push you into a different lane. Also, the 600cc bikes these days have power levels. That means if you're new to riding, you can have the bike on a low power level then work your way up. Oh! The suspension and brakes on 600cc bikes are WAY better than the ones on the R3. The R3 wasn't stable at all, so it was more difficult to ride than a 600cc bike.
Beautiful bikie man, these are the best bikes on there class, so thin due to the inline 3 cylinders! Lovely
A newbie on such a bike? Taking into account your last update was exactly 7 years back when you bought this bike I hope you just didn't had an accident with it. Nice bike. Stay safe
I'm alive and well. I still have the bike. I just moved on to other things.
@@tdiesel85 Glad 2 hear. Stay safe
Got one of these ready to go soon as I pass my test :)
That exhaust is sick. I might be picking up a Daytona myself pretty soon If the insurance is reasonable on it
With a Dayona you jumped in the deep end. Hope you are enjoying it. Lean and countersteer. Broken in and with mods included.
cool bike!
Damn! A 2006 with 10k miles? My 2015 R3 is already pushing 20k lol. That was a nice find.
Hey man Nice bike!!! i Love that ixil 3 can exhaust it sounds nice for just a slippy... Ull get there man treat her nice n shell do the same,,, Ur first HeadShaker will letcha know ur livin thats for sure n just keep ur knees tight n lean a lil more,,, i got faith in ya man,,, aint read any other comments man,,,Screw da Haters...i do recommend checkin out some of keith codes " twist of the wrist" vids tho.... theyre kinda boring but contain valuable info even for more advanced street riders....Keep Safe man...
Nice bike have one just like it
I know it sounds boring but getting good on a bike takes years and one mistake is sometimes all you get. My advice is to start on something with less horses and not a super sport, gives you more room for error. Still loads of good bikes out there which are still super fun. :) hope everything worked out
Nice bike, never heard of Triumph until recently. Is that Vin Diesel talking?
REALLY???? NEVER HEARD OF TRIUMPH??? WTF??? Do some research and you'll find that the Japanese copied and admittedly improved British Motorcycle design, and THAT is what put them on the map...
youre definitely right about being able to jump from msf to a 600cc bike. the problem is most people don't have the proper know-how of a machine with such power. my first bike was a triumph TT600, and I had no issue.
but i will never recommend anything over a 500 as a first bike. most people just can't handle it and are a danger to themselves and others on a bike this big as their first bike.
Nice bike
did u sort ur steering issue? counter steering will help
nice bike im trying to save to get the same one. i want the white with the blue trim.
Yea bro, I literally just bought this same bike two days ago (second bike) and it def seems to require more to turn this one then it did to turn my r6. Did you get used to it or get it adjusted?
Both; I played with my suspension settings and kind of got it the way I wanted it. I'm thinking since this bike is taller than the r6, the higher center of gravity makes turning more work but once you get the suspension & your body mechanics dialed in, it's a euphoric feeling!
Hey man, Love the video. And Love, Love, Love your bike. I am just getting into riding as well. I am 39, 6-3 200 lbs. My problem is the little 250s and 300s I can fit comfortably on them. Most of my friends tell me that a 500-700cc bike would be a great size bike for my height, weight. I can't stop thinking about the 675R. I am hoping to keep this bike for a while. I was just wondering if the course teaches you on different bikes. So you get a feel of what you like. Just wondering why you chose that over a cruiser?
Hi Dylan! As far as I know, the course only provides 250s, but it gives you a chance to understand basic controls, maneuvering, and skills of riding a motorcycle that you'll, of course, use out on the road. I'd highly suggest taking it before hopping onto any bike if you're starting with little to no experience like I did.
If you're asking why I chose a sportbike over a cruiser, it's because I liked the speed and quickness of a sportbike. I liked the aggressive look of a sportbike and the thought of hitting corners with my knee down was fascinating. At the time, cruisers were not appealing to me.
Ya I am for sure going to take the course. It just seems the right thing to do and here in Canada we have too. I have been doing some research and here in Canada we pay insurance based on CCs and for a first time rider Cruisers are kind of out of my league. Too big. So because I don't want to pay more for insurance than the bike itself I am trying to find a good entry sport bike with low CCs but not too low. I am like you. I am kind of a speed junky. I think the Daytona will be my work towards bike. Sucks! Safe riding bud!
How's riding this treating you so far?
Great video, incentive as a first bike to own ad am thinking about doing the same thing. Doing my full bike licence as we speak. I'm 6'5, will it be too small?
No, it'll fit you fine. It sits high enough to not make you look funny.
ahhh shite just cn when ya uploaded this,,,, im sure U got her figured out by now... Still check out that twist o the wrist stuff if ya havent seen it yet,,, two clicks outs pretty good for certain suspension stuff,,,, SAG/Dampening and whatnot... Lemme know how ur doin with that rocket,,, im plannin on SC/Turbo kittin one this winter,,, Canada eh!!!
the best color out all the daytonas
I have that same bike. I love it. Do you still have it?
Very nice bike! Love that triple exhaust and colour scheme. On sports bikes generally you find the turning radius is terrible.
As this video was uploaded 2013 you would of probs upgraded. Do yourself a favour and buy a naked bike. So much easier to work on mechanically and its more of a comfortable ride.
hey i want to buy a 2006 daytona 675, it has 36k mile though, based upon your opinion, now that you have had it for a year, how did it handle?
It's very nimble, quick, agile. Very easy to leave other bikes in the curves.
I'm 5'6, will I be able to flat foot this bike?
I'm looking at getting this as my first bike too. Would you still recommend it?
Rob Cranston absolutely! Just be mindful of the power, ride responsibly, and you'll have many years of fun with it!
Hey.. I'm planning to buy samekind of bike and wanted to ask you, that how's the bike's condition nowdays?
Paleph87 paleph87 I still have the bike. She has a few scratches from me dropping her at a stop sign. I've had no issues aside from that! I'll have to post an update sometime soon since many think I've completely wrecked it lol.
I know this video is super old. But if you're still monitoring it for comments, can I ask how it treated you as your first bike? I just passed my MSF courses as well and have such a taste for a Daytona 675
Like a king! Once I learned the bike, it was effortless to ride it and, as long as you keep up with the maintenance and don't abuse it (too harshly), it'll work every time for you. I still have it and it fires right up every season. If I still have it in 2023, I may do a 10 year review.
Saw a review video on this same bike, the owner said it's not for beginners. looks like you proved him wrong.
I love the Daytona too, did you find it extremely hard to handle all that power?
+Prajit Hari when I first got this, I found it hard to lean because I learned to ride on a 250 and during the course, they never took us out on the road to experience real road feel; like speed and wind resistance. I never thought the power was hard to handle or manage because it's controlled by you; you go as fast or as slow on it as you want with the flip of your wrist.
I'm planning to get the 2016 675 (not 675R) model as my first bike, most of them feel it's stupid and I should go the 300cc route which I don't want to really. If the power as you say could be controlled then I would definitely buy this beast as a lot of them have said "the power this bike has can kill you"
+Prajit Hari if you'll be riding in India ,I don't recommend the Daytona at all
I've decided to get an used 150 for 2 months and then get a big bike
+Prajit Hari have fun man!!!
Do you still have this bike brother? How has the reliability been?
The reliability has been stellar. This bike is damn near bulletproof. Aside from regular maintenance and wear items, The only issue that I had was a blown fuse and I had to replace the shifter.
This dude said "it's hard to turn" hahahah this thing keeps up with most 1000's in the twistys
This video was made over 2 years ago, on the 2nd day I had it...............It's not so hard to turn anymore😉
dude, do you counter-steer? because, that effort in turning could be because you're tense and try to turn the handlebars to the way you wanna go. you gotta relax and let it lean, use counter-steer. also, check your tyre pressure. if it's the recommended, then it's not because of that.
I had to get used to riding it at actual road speed rather than a parking lot lol . It took me a few rides to understand that the faster you go, the more effort your body has to put into riding. I wasn't putting the effort in so the bike wasn't really responding. That was due to the fact I was quite cautious riding a bike on the roadway for the first time and fresh out the MSF course. Its been sometime since I've made this video and turning is no longer an issue.....keeping my wrist under control is though.
tdiesel85 Yeah! I know what you mean, damn wrist keeps wanting to twist the throtle hahahaha. It's my dream to upgrade to a bigger bike, mate. I'm young, I didn't graduate yet. As soon as I'm done with that and get a job, hopefully I'll be able to save money to buy a dream bike.
Better torque, thinner because of the, in my opinion, better frame design... Check your steering damper and watch moto gp... just by slightly extending the leg you want to turn towards makes your weight turn the bike. Nothing about our bikes are bad enough to complain about... sacrifice (or rather write off) the cons for it's pros... ;)
That exhaust is ixil and for new tires you should get some Michelin Pilot Road 3's. It's a sport touring tire and they last for 10,000 miles or longer Not to mention if the previous owner just purchased the same tires that the Daytona came with. Those tires do not like gravel at all and will slip very easily.
Lol only one video of the bike, I assume you may have downed it?
I believe I did say the exhaust was an Ixil. I did purchase the Michelin Pilot Power 3 tires (not the Roads) because this is a sport bike and I ride it as a sport bike so I went for the tire that complimented my riding style . I've got 4,000 miles on the tires and still have another 1,000+ before I buy another set (really just the rear one) so they've done good by me. BTW, I've noticed most things with 2 wheels don't like gravel no matter what the tire type is.
The bike is fine. It's not been downed or trashed or totaled. It's still with me. I've just been tinkering and tooling around with it alot to understand the mechanics of it. Maybe next season I'll get a gopro and make a few riding vids so you never know. Thanks for asking!
That "cruise control" is the stupidest thing i'v ever seen. Not to mention dangerous.
Exhaust holy Sh!t
pls dont let ur knees hanging out... u actually need to hold urself with ur knees on the gas tank, ur arms need to be loose on the handles for so many good reasons... im pretty sure thats the reason that u cant make a good turn.. but anyways have fun with it and stay safe! ;) oh and ps look the video up called ''twist the wrist 2'', its so fucking helpfull for new rider!
Bro what's the name of that exhaust
Ixil Exhaust.
WHY!?! geez...get an arrow...
sooo is this guys still alive. Cause i wana know. I dont wana buy a 300cc bike.
I am, and I still have the bike! :)
I think I smoked this guy on a straight away call 72. I hit 210mph not to see this bike again for a few mins later :-) Nice riding with ya
UGK's
lol big hayabusa rider bragging about smoking a 675...on a straight away haha.
But, without a doubt, what you did was epic "210"
UGKs!!!!
U know I had to mess with you. I saw the bike in the picture and it looks familiar and then I heard your voice and I knew I was right
tdiesel85 no hayabusa does 210 stock lol.
⬆⬆⬆ Do your homework 99/00 Hayabusa's Have no Governor switches... My bike does 220mph
jerome clarke shhhhhh....he doesn't ride so he doesn't know.
I still think progressing through the power groups is a better way to go. Like now I have a 2013 zx-6r 636, downgrading from an S1000RR, because the litre bike made me a lazy rider.
I first started on a Ninja 250R, and after my (required in my country) year on it, I turned it into a track bike. Along side this I bought a 2004 zx-6r 636 (which I'd track on occasion), as the 250 was quite stale. The tracks in oz don't have too many long straights and a good amount of corners, so on my 250 I'd pass people riding 600s or 1000s on corners and twisties because I had better technique. I learnt better technique b/c I didn't have to worry about power and I could just thrash the bike side to side.
In my honest opinion, America needs the required sub-250 probationary category. So many shit riders exist because they buy the biggest thing they see.
ur doing a video and new lol
I lost mi title
Just lean/
