The one a lot of you have been waiting for! Well, a few... ok, one of you... I finally ride and review the Triumph Daytona 675R!
I have a lot of fun! :-)
As usual, feel free to comment below with questions, insights, insults etc...
Thank you for watching and I hope that most of you enjoy! :-)
Tally Bally Ho!
Thank you as always to the chaps at Herts Triumph for the loan of the bike... I am not employed by them in any way but we do enjoy a good chat from time to time...

Captain,
That SOUND is INTOXICATING !
I've never had a 4. I had 1 triple, a K75s. I LOVE twins.
I sold MY LAST BMW, because I didn't like the SOUND.
I have STOCK Mufflers on MY HD.
I really enjoy your & Red's vlogs. The 2 of you, have a VOCAL fan in Southern California.
Thanks for another fun review! As a bonus, I am pleased to learn that you did not die in the process.
It was a close run thing! 😊 Thank you for watching!
Very good of you seasoning the film with canned laughter! Clever you! Well done, well done indeed. Tata!
Ha ha! I felt that I needed to flag the funny stuff... ;-)
I thought the canned laugher ruined what was otherwise an excellent review.
Ziggy Sheppard It was all tongue in cheek... Just a laugh in the editing phase. But if it ruined the whole review, fair enough.
thanks for doing this capt..
You're welcome! I hope that you liked it.
Excellent hoonage Capt! That triple sound and a quickshifter are bloody heaven😈 Never mind an 800 on the way I want a1400 SpeedTriple!😎👍🏻🙏
Now that would be a thing and a half! :-)
As the only owner of a '09 Daytona with 10,000 miles on the clock, I can tell you that they are very demanding bikes. They demand your constant attention while riding, or they will try to kill you at the first opportunity. All it wants to do is go faster in any direction.
I can fully believe that! :-) I managed 22,000 miles on my old Street Triple in 11 months, but this is so different. Those extra revs just give it so much more... plus the riding position, you feel like you are in a dog fight all the time! :-)
Thank you for watching and for the useful comment... :-)
I love your channel, Capt. I watch damn near every video you post. I'm a Triumph nut from the Colonies. I just wish Corporate Triumph would play ball with my local dealer. Here in the US, they only want to support the mega dealerships, and pretty much say screw the little guys.
Jake Jennerman Really? Crikey. That doesn't sound very sensible? And then they wonder why they don't crack the american market more greatly?! Hmm... Not much I can do, but you have a point there!
My dealer said that they want him to have a full line of brand-new models on display every year (that he has to buy from Triumph), even though he knows what his market will support and wants to buy.
For instance, Triumph wants him to have a brand new Rocket III on the floor at all times, and everyone walking into a Triumph dealer wants to drool over it, sit on it, ride it, etc., but he only sells a single Rocket III about once every two to three years. That's a lot of money invested in bikes that he knows aren't going anywhere.
Jake Jennerman If I may be so bold: That's nucking futs... No small dealer, or dealer of other brands as well, can afford to have the whole collection in stock at the same time... That;s just weird. I suppose that they are trying to impress upon people their own importance, but if it quells the traders that they rely upon, they are just destroying themselves from their pillars... Does that make sense?
bloody awesome review Captain,..and no not too exited upon seeing the street triple either hehe
Thank you Bizz... Glad you liked it... :-)
I'd never want to own one myself, but I'm glad to see the full range of Triumph bikes :-)
:-) Not my cup of tea either but quite an experience! :-)
kevin duarte Too small and sporty... I've never really liked the looks of sports bikes... Just too modern and in your face to me...
Does the have a steering damper and any electronics like wet model and traction control?
Fantastic review. Just part exchanged my Ninja 650 for a Daytona 675R 2016 model in black. Is my dream bike but thought I'd better do at least a years apprenticeship on something less forgiving. Outgrew the 650 fast and really cannot wait to jump on the Daytona!!!!!!
Thank you for watching! Such a fun bike...
Happy New Year and enjoy the new bike!
I've bought the bike and my good old bean, it is fantastic!!!!
Excellent review... 😎
Glad you liked it! :-)
Tanks for the review capt. This is my dream bike. Still 1 agonising year to wait before i can ride it tho as ive jus got my mid tier license.
Ah, well good luck and may the time fly! :-)
time has flied hasn't it
I need to try one !
Yes you do! If you can live with the position it's even more fun than the Street triple R in my book!
quick question. what's the big bent arrow mean in the middle of the road. ? what does it indicate?
It means to move back to your side of the road if you’ve been overtaking...
looks like you had a lot of fun on that. I get what you meant about enjoying the sensation not the experience.
Excellent... I wasn't sure if I was explaining that very well... :-)
Thank you for watching!
405 lbs wet... wow. Compared to 423, 417, 417, 412 for the zx6r, yzfr6, cbr600rr, gsxr600 respectively. The daytona also has a slight edge in power at 113 hp at the wheel vs 111, 102, 98, 105
according to resizer.shared.arcpublishing.com/VoQJhVwcjLNJEJfFSMgQpKRD7rQ=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-bonnier/public/GEN73RJAEAAKSU34NH5DULC674.jpg
Glad I bought one.
FYI its also about $30 per month cheaper insurance, probably because its less popular, so there arent as many idiots who crash it on their way home from the dealer.
Weird flashback for me... watching this I was reminded of way back when, when I had a go on a Suzuki X7 (with Allspeed 'spannies)... And was pretty much the hooligan 'frog on a matchbox'... Not that I am in any way saying that an X7 would challenge a Daytona R! :D :D But it's a bike with the same intent. Great review as ever, squire!
It sounds quite formidable!!
Thank you very much and thank you for watching! :-)
More formative tbh. You are most welcome.
This has traction control? Didnt think they had- though im looking at getting one as theyre cheaper now
No traction control
Just ordered one 😜
Great vid as usual
Stan
Thanks Stan! Enjoy and have fun with the quicjshifter! :-)
+Captain Rambunctious took delivery..already done 600miles, oh that quick shifter 😜
Cracking bike 👍
stanley gardiner It's really quite some fun! :-) Glad you are enjoying it!
Hey, beg to ask, is this a good one for a 185cm tall guy daily commuter on 40km road?
I’m 185cms with 32” inside leg. I’d say so as long as you stay above about 40mph for the majority of it so that your weight isn’t always on your wrists…
Hi Captain ,is the 765 RS faster than the Dayton 675
Ooh. Good question. I'd have to say yes!
I'm 6 foot tall. Do feel a man of my height would i be comfortable? excellent review thanx.
I'm 6'1 with a bad knee and I was ok for 2 hours. I have longer legs in proportion too, so if you feel you would be less cramped then fine! 😊
Oh yes ... Thanks captain.... Have to watch later.. That quick shifter..... Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr..
Ripping it captain ... A ton up boy if ever I saw one... Fun fun fun but one for the weekend sir...
Nice ride review buddy, must have a go with one of those quick shifters one of these days, i'm the same, a bit out of sorts with any modern sports bike, RSM8.
You absolutely must! Can you get one for your bike? That would sound biblical! Like a massive piece of machinery clunking into position like the gearing on an old ship... :-)
Yes, not my cup of tea but an absolute hoot nonetheless! :-)
Haha! yeah just imagine a quick shifter on my bike, it really would sound like rolling thunder then, lol,
+Skeggy Cruiser I think a little bit of research is needed!
I see you can get a quick shifter for the Harley Davidson V Rod so hey ya never know!
at least it is a Triumph, great video
It is indeed! And I am very attracted to the triple engines as I owned the Street Triple for a while! :-)
The R1200RS might be an interesting ride for you. Big twin, can have the auto shifter, kind of a hybrid seating position.
I have BMW set in my sights... I am looking forward to a couple of days there...
Love these bikes but too small for me being 6'3" :( Was nice to meet you at The Ace on Sunday.
Indeed it was! :-)
I don't know, 6'3 might be on the upper limit, but I am 6'1 with long legs, so maybe you'd be ok? Have you tried one?
+Captain Rambunctious Have sat on one but I don't miss the pain in my wrists & legs cocked like a dog peeing! I think I'll stick with my Bonnie's :)
Cotti Please do! A wonderful bike! :-)
God when you get up to 70 on the dual carriageway it suddenly seems to look really fast...officer. Haha!
Definitely think I'm going to need a quickshifter for my Street Triple
You definitely need a quick shifter... Yes, it was the camera angle that made it look that fast. Closer to the ground you see. ;-)
I want it. To hell with the seat ! I want it. Where did you find that weather ? It's FREEZING here and raining. But that bike. What a beauty.
Last week was amazing! :-) This week has been awful all over Europe... Low pressure systems everywhere!
If I had the cash one of these would be my track day bike!
I have to agree, even though I am looking forward to taking the Thruxton R on a track... One with few straights though...
My wife wants one of these. A girl with good taste.
Wow! Very good! :-)
It's a very nice bike, but it's no Thruxton R, is it? Another great video!!! Thanks Cap"!!
No, it's no Thruxton R! :-) It's faster, up in the higher revs, but it doesn't have the same fun factor or soul / feeling... Excellent for a track though.
I maybe 4yrs late but gentlemen, please, don't ever play Triumphs off against each other
If there was ever a case of apples and oranges it would be comparing the magnificent range of Triumph models
I want them all
Ride safely my friends, from Australia
This bike is absolute beautiful, it is so hard that u are a poor person , can't budget your money well because of expenses in school and for yourself needs. I want to lay my hand on that triumph so bad but i can't afford it because of the pricetag of it plus it is so hard to find triumph 675r here in philippines.
Nice review captain. Might give it a go myself :)
I think it would suit you down to the ground!
It may not be as refined as a Ducati, but I'm betting the Triumph doesn't need ridiculous $1500 valve jobs like them either. I'm guessing the 675r lasts longer and has a more reliable engine. Ducati are pretty to look at and a nightmare on the pocket when they get older.
Excellent points... No, I haven't heard of any issues with these engines... Valve check every 12000 miles, and normally no adjustments needed until at least 24000 miles and that normally costs no more than $400...
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Change those sprockets if u were in Australia... Revving the ring off it
Non R a good first bike?
Interesting question. I'm not sure that it is the difference between the R and the non R that would make any difference in the decision as to whether to have this as a first bike or not. It's more the access to all that acceleration at higher revs and speeds. I had a street triple as my first bike and they are essentially the same bike, but without that incredible top end. Now, I have always said that the street triple was the best first big bike. Therefore the Daytona shouldn't be much different.
If you like the sporty looks and seating position, then yes, a very good equivalent of the street triple, but I also remember that when I had my street triple, I got into a few predicaments with speed which the bike's handling and tyres helped me out with...
I'd say that yes, a good first bike but be very careful with the top end speed, stay relaxed and smooth with your handling, and get better tyres that the super corsas if you are a beginner as these tyres take a long time to warm up and you could be caught out easily...
So after taking these issues into account and understanding them, then yes, it would be a good first bike. Whether you get the R or not, is really down to price and whether you want that suspension and quick shifter as standard...
Hope this helps and makes sense.
Thank you for watching and for the comment... :-)
Captain Rambunctious no problem man :). Thanks for the advice. I'm debating between this bike, the zx6r, and the cbr600rr
Vikram Bharati It will depend on where you want the thrust. I say thrust as it is a mixture of the torque and power. The Daytona will have it earlier in the rev range but won't have that similar inline 4 scream, although as it revs so high, it still does have a howl of its own... :-)
Picking mine up on Friday sadly not the R version but I'm not overly fussed as i managed to get it for 8k they had and offer £1600 of lucky or what
Very lucky! Don't really think you need the R with that chassis and engine. Although you can always turn it into the R yourself over time with possibly better kit...
Enjoy and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment... :-)
TBH!
Captain Rambunctious it was a pre registered bike from 2015 so well chuffed didn't really want the R version as not a big fan of the carbon fibre & can't remember what you said in your video but what height are you? and i have to ask where did you get your gloves?
I have I'm 6'1 so I felt a little cramped but ok... The gloves stopped being in stock about 3 years ago but you may find them somewhere. Triumph UJ Colour gloves... Not the new ones out this year though. They are different...
Captain Rambunctious so me being 5"7 I should be ok then as the bike is being delivered tomorrow and haven't even ridden it yet haha
You're the perfect size! You'll love it! (I hope!)
Blimey, the Captain came over all Fred Dibnah at the end!
I am quite big at 6 feet I wonder if I would enjoy this. What size are you old bean?
Then again, back in '77 I bought a little Honda CB 400/4 after John Kidson won the TT on one and kept the thing for years, so I guess this might be okay. I used to ride it with my feet on the rear pegs which was a lovely comfortable position. From that day to this I have been waiting for a manufacture to come up with adjustable pegs up and down and front and back. If one of them does a huge amount of riders problems will be solved. It was learning that James May had a 400/4 that persuaded me to part with it. It suddenly did not seem so cool any more.
Anyway, this thing sounds good and looks nippy. I am a little concerned it will become the Brighton-Soho sausage jockey bike of the moment. A way to recapture almost lost feelings of macho while still wearing pink leathers and keeping in touch with the i̶n̶v̶e̶n̶t̶e̶d̶ , sorry, 'genetically imposed,' female side. A sort of thrill machine for male British Airways cabin crew.
Yeah, think I shall wait and see on this one. Maybe give it a try next year once I have seen who buys it.
Well the Daytona R has been around for a few years now... Seems to be the sports bike connoisseur that is buying them... :-) Not mega power but amazing fun... I am 6'1" so yo should be ok...
Ah, been around a while has it? I had no idea but then, I am a bike fan not a manufacturer fan, so it is easy to miss a model here and there. ;o) I have ridden a few hundred sports bikes in my time. I have also ridden about the same number of tourers, many street bikes, a couple of choppers -- didn't like them -- a few mopeds and scooters and a few monsters, like the first bike I ever rode which was an Ariel Square Four when I was 15 years old. In that time I have found that connoisseurs of one particular style of bike are few and far between. People tend to be swayed into purchase by reputation, looks or fashion at the moment, rather than a devotion to one particular type of machine. Those who are tend to become little sad people who have a barn somewhere full of machines that are never ridden, just obsessed over.
"And under this tarpaulin I have a Dobrey X450 with the terpsycordial tappets and the brass wing nuts on the fuel regulator tap. You will notice that the front mudguard is yellow while the rear is green. That is because the previous owner was Slip Liddle, the famous Sports Bike connoisseur and he was colour blind. In fact, he was killed when he mixed up red and green at a traffic light. You can still see the scratches in the chrome of the front wheel rim after the bike slid under the trailer of the lorry. Unfortunately, Slip did not do the same.
"Oh no. I would never part with it.
"No. I am sorry. I don't allow any of these bikes to be actually started.
Over in this corner I have six identical Foley 350's from 1968. Would you like to see them?"
Puke.
InTheNameOfJustice Your comments are by far and away the most inventive and pleasing of all sir! Please do not stop! :-)
In a way, it is good that I am only allowed one bike, as it stops me collecting pretty bikes but also makes sure that the one that I buy is the perfect one... Finally I think that I am there with the Thruxton R... :-)
the S1000RR is about as comfy as a Superbike can getand they are divine. BMW dealers are very open to giving test rides too, just rock up on your Triumph wearing your best clobber, talking about promotions at work and second bike desireage, and they'll usually chuck you the keys
I have an open invitation... It's about having the time to go down to try a few out... I want to ride the RnineT, S1000RR, S1000R, R1200GS and R1200RT...
Soon... soon...
Thank you for watching! :-)
+Captain Rambunctious Please ride the S1000RR!!!!!!!!! (you must redline at least once please!) :D
Chicken tikki masala Oh I intend to! :-)
Love your enthusiasm. Love your sense of humour. Love your reviews and videos. But PLEASE.... LOSE the added canned laughter.
Ha! I will, that was just for fun. I was playing around with the sound effects in my editing suite and couldn't resist... I was just being silly.... It won't be a common feature...
Your "silliness" is part of your video's charm. Just, for me, the laugh track was over the top. Like I said: love your enthusiasm.
robofthewest :-) Thank you.
Nice looking bike. I done an insurance quote on this and it was very expensive
I bet it was. Although I'd have thought less that other sports bikes as it has a smaller engine than most? Surely cheaper than a 1L bike?
I didn't check the litre bikes.. When I passed my test I got a quote on a new one of these and was near £1000! I went for a 8 year old r6 for the reasonable £250
Robert Greenwood Yes, all new bikes would be that if you are just licensed. My Thruxton would be nearly that...
But yes, the R6 is an excellent alternative. RedRenna uses one to great effect.
+Captain Rambunctious Doesn't Renna ride a CBR600 Capt?
Liam Hale Ooh! Good point Liam! Thank you... Whoops!
there obviously has to be something wrong with the throttle cable to be that loose because I've seen other reviews for the same bike and people barely twist on it and you hear it rev at the slightest twist, I've never seen a review that I've seen this or heard about it, and I've seen a lot of reviews for this bike. And how tall are you? They say that taller people are going to be slightly more uncomfortable than shorter people. I think they said riders at 6 ft and up will be more uncomfortable.
Fair enough, it could have just needed adjusting, but as it was fairly new, I was surprised... The newer throttle by wire throttles are much more accurate, but maybe I've just forgotten what it is like with a cable?
I'm 6'1 and yes, I wouldn't be able to ride if for more than an hour or two in one go...
For those shorter chaps and chapettes, it should be all day long comfortable. My street triple was....
is it me alone feel to stack up every triumph range in my garage
You're not alone. There are about 7 that I would like... :-)
Think Mr Fly needs a holiday after that, you broke him again!
I know... Don't think he will be making another appearance for a while... :-)
Ooooh, that's definitely a license looser, lol.
80mph in first gear, be like riding an automatic, lol. Does sound good though.
Have you had a bash on the Speedmaster? Can't remember whether you have or not. It's what I'm fancying.
Tcrs ✊
I still haven't ridden a Speedmaster as my local dealer never has any in, but that and the Trophy are pretty much the only 2 Triumphs left for me to test, but Triumph keep bringing out new bikes!!
oooh errr missus
If I could be 30 something again, it would be very likely what i'd buy.
Why can't you be 30 again?! :-)
Cos he's 31.
Great looking,well kitted....sharp handling piece of kit mainly to be used as a track killer....
wish I could say I feel the need to test ride one but I don't....and the reason is I've never been interested in mid sized engines....whatever the power is....yes it sounds great but a laverda jota sounds better.....yes it will out handle just about any machine on the road....if set up correctly......but that's too safe for me.....yes it's got 120 odd hp.....but it lacks that big engine wall of torque....and it's bloody tiny.......it's no dought a fantastic little bike but would it make me smile like my zx ......never.. That's my opinion only of coarse ....
No I can honestly say that the Thruxton R is the one to ride for me.....it's proper Triumph in my book!
Thruxton R you say? Yes, not bad... ;-)
There is something about a larger engine, but this is like a greyhound puppy... Eager and fast... :-)
Thanks for watching sir! :-) ( Patch in the post... )
+Captain Rambunctious Always a dam pleasure.....
I think They may be a fantastic machine for a much smaller rider.....a scoldered cat I believe...And many thanks for posted patch....will be adorning the jacket sleeve asap...you ho ho!
WEGGY zx12r Huzzah!
Ah Mr Weggy, interesting comments, I too have (faint) memories of seeing and hearing jota's exercised up the bypass for example.
As a ZX12R is your daily scoot, I thought your ride views on a mid size sports bike would be of value, just like them TT superbike boys that say 600 class is a fun ride around the island.
Russ ...the zx12r is the weekend machine .....currently my works commute and local hooning machine is a mid sized yamaha xj600....an enjoyable little machine to ride!
in at 360p... I'll watch it latter!
What was the rpm at 70mph in 6th on the bike you rode?
Hmm... Not sure I should admit to that... Probably around 6000 - 7000 rpm... Best to ask an owner on a forum though...
I don't fit :( ill stick with my street.
You can't go wrong with a street, but hope that you have a quick shifter...
The wife is getting it for me for my 30th.
Garth Vader Splendid stuff! :-)
Oh you tratior Im a little upset with you
lol
I know... It all felt very awkward...
A Laugh Track??? WTF?
I couldn't resist! My jokes were that bad! ;-)
