Daytona 675

Looking at the triumph daytona 675... know any places that have these i looked on ebay and only 3.... hard to find... i want 06 model any color... what's people's opinons on these bikes!?

How is this off-topic? Anyways, those bikes are awesome. If I didn't have me a honda, I would have gotten a triumph. Daytonas are good bikes, and I think a lot of people would agree. I hear a lot of squids buy them and crash them...iono....

No personal experience, but all the magazine articles seem to think they are great.
Many of the test riders comment on the additional torque they have over the other 600s, which for me would be a big advantage over a 600RR.
 

ya maybe not off topic but ... o well...... i have seen all the mag articles and looks like a good bike... idea was to get one.. paint it blue and leave the stickers off.. there are 0 here around so it would be different..

Streecycles in Falmouth Maine has them. Nice bikes.

I wanted a Daytona really bad before I got my F4i.  One of my buddy's has one, and he loves it.  Here's his in the foreground:
 
 

looks nice.. i want 06 model tho

same here, i havent seen any in my area or at dealerships, but have read only good things about them. what do they go for?

The dealership I work at has a few. 06/07 675 are the same I believe. Anyways, we have both. They are very narrow bikes though

my local triumph dealer had 3 in stock last time i was there.  i'm hoping to pick one up one day and use my f4 for track days

that's a beautiful bike bob joe I love triumphs

I don't know what year my buddy has, but it seemed to have a fatter tank than the rest of the bikes in the group.  I thought it was wider...I always have a good chance of being wrong.  I sat on it, though, and it felt very well balanced.  It actually felt lower that my F4i.  I would love to have one.

I think its the previous years that are different. I think the 06/07 are the same and then previous years have a wider tank/frame. I know both the 06/07 have a skinnier frame (IMO)

your friend has a pre 06 model.. if you look on the triumph site you will see they looked like your friends till 06 then they were changed.. i like the 06 or newer models... they are pretty pricy for a 600 class .. then again the 07 600rr is over 9k MSRP which is a joke.. but i guess prices are rising..

Great minds do thing alike. I am hoping to score one of these 675's for my next bike and just use my f3 to practice stunting on. Im not willing to spend 9k for it but If i can round one up for about 7 its a done deal. Also here the triumphs are sold at a bmw bike dealer.

I hear they are great bikes, I have seen a few in person at a dealership just outside Madison WI, the only experiance I have on them is that two seconds that I sat on one there, and in that two seconds I can tell you that the seats are HORRIBLE!!! You might as well be sitting on something a high school kid made in shop.

I love the Daytona 675, I was going to sell my old '01 YZF-R1 for it but I decided to keep the Yamaha, since I didn't want to go down from a litre bike to a 600cc-class bike. The Daytona handles really well, it's feels so light and it is so easy to toss around like a toy. Just be careful as it dives in quicker than you'd expect.

hmm thanks for the help guys
