Triumph Daytona 675 - 6/7/2007 2:39:27 PM

So, I'm looking to get a new bike in the near future and was wondering if anybody had any info on the reliability and performance of the Triumph Daytona 675. I've been reading reviews online and they all say that it is an awesome bike. How does that relate to real world experience though. Do Triumphs have a good reputation for reliability? Just wondering if anybody had any experience with them.

Thanks.

It has gotten a lot better in the last 5-6 years. For awhile there they seemed to have let quality slip, but they have come back from that. They have a good rep for reliability and performance now. Not to mention the aesthetics on those things are awesome.

Here in the UK the 675 has been getting some bad press of late. There have been loads of owners complaining about the bikes drinking oil like its going out of fashion, and Ive heard of two that have eaten a valve.
Bike magazine did a test to see what they could find, and raced it round a track for 24 hours against a Gixxer750. The 675 was kicking Gixxer arse, until the 675 popped a valve only a short time into the test.
Shame, as its a real looker.

They do have some pretty distinct styling... in a good way.

They are pretty good bikes, but the overall reliability isnt as high as Honda, Suzuki, and Yami. However, they do have a 2 year manufactures warranty, as apposed to 1. It just all depends, but they are pretty decent bikes. High seat height and pretty foward and aggressive position though.

Check out the Triumph Speed Triple as well, awesome bike and loads of torque. Or take a look at the Buell Firebolt. They make it in a 900 and 1200cc. I ride an xb12s and its basically the same as the Firebolt, just different plastics.

I got last months UK magazine that came witha dvd. They were doing runs with it and the fuel pump relay went out. They wired a house hold switch to it. Hahha

Last year the Triumph 675 was going to eat up the competition in the 600 class. Never happened. There has been some issues of valve timing and the resulting valve drops, really messes up your day and engine to have a valve drop. In the US the 675 were entered in the Formula Extreme class against other 600's and the best finish was around 20th place. Not a good showing. In defense of the 675 this was a non-factory team. I like the looks and everything about the Triumph but will keep my CBR600RR for a few more years and wait and see. Do love the English girls that model for Triumph! Represents the Union Jack well!

bought my first bike (ducati monster 620) with my friend and he bought the daytona 675. he raves about it and continues and claims that i bought my cbr because of his daytona. RIGHT. just wanted bikes on both ends of the spectrum. but he can think whatever he wants. but i hear that bike is good, just waiting for it to blow up after reading some of the earlier posts.
