2024 Triumph Daytona 660 Review | The cardinal Sin | Sagar Sheldekar Official

- A changing world demands manufacturers to stay on top of the change or be left reeling in its wake. This is Triumph's answer to cope with the dying interest in the supersport category world over - a faired everyday, comfortable motorcycle based on the Trident 660 but one which packs more power and torque to rival the Suzuki GSX-8R. But by naming it after their iconic racing brand the Daytona, they have committed a cardinal sin which enthusiasts will find hard to forgive for a long time to come. Sarge rides the Daytona's doppelganger while struggling to come to grips with the legendary supersport machine's painful demise.

I remember that video of the Daytona 675R with the Arrow exhaust. It was so iconic! But now its just a namesake. Can definitely feel the pain in Sarge's voice. Farewell dear Dayton 675R for now.😢
🙏😭
10years 52 days later. We relate to Sagar for that Daytona review. Fan since.
A lot has changed in the last decade. Good to see you are still here
@SagarSheldekarOfficial You deserve it. 🙏
We are always with you Sarge.
Always ❤@@SagarSheldekarOfficial
"It cuts through corners like a knife through hot butter." It was 10 years ago man but still gives me the goosies.
Such sad emotions when the most loved bikes is sold like this.
Great one sarge!
🙏🏻
OMG this means
I've been following you for well over a decade. You, Shumi and Kartik were responsibe for my choice of first ever motorcycle and a decade later, still shaping my choices.
Great journey Sarge. Not regretted then and m pretty sure I won't regret in future too. Cheers brother you held yourself to highest of standards possible in entire automotive journalism with such a grace. Lots of love.
Thank you for your kind words. Do like and share the love 🙏🏻
From watching Sagar’s Daytona 675R video to watching this, you have come a long way!
Your Daytona 675R video is still my favourite and whenever I watch it, I get goosebumps.
Cheers. Do like and share
that was the first proper Indian superbike review I saw!
I can relate to this!
@@SagarSheldekarOfficialThanks for making my childhood dreams better with that Daytona 675R review video. I still watch that as a nostalgia just to listen to that symphony! ❤
The last 3-4 minutes says it all, thank god you still like the original Daytona, it was your 10 year old video which made me buy the 675r 👍
There’s no comparison
22 Oct 2014 to 13 Dec 2024. . .
It has been quite some journey Sarge.
So plus 10 years, minus 15 cc and a few grey hair later, here we are.
Here's to next 10 years, CHEERS!!!
Cheers mate. Appreciate the support. Do like and share the love
Hell yeah!! Sagar and Daytona is one hell of a relationship 🏍️
Haha see you at 7.30
@sagarsheldekarofficial which bike you recommend Kawasaki Zx6r or Daytona 660 ??
I could tell you what i would prefer
Daytona 660 if budget is a constraint but, you need to fulfill that superbike dream
And, *let me clear my throat
Zx6r the 👑 if you can afford the 20000 approx service cost along with insurance and fuel@@souravroy3259
@@souravroy3259 Don't you think 660 is a class below zx6r.... 675r was the direct competitor to zx6r which unfortunately is discontinued.
i can vouch for sarge here, @@souravroy3259zx6r for race track and daytona 660 for street and touring purpose.
That's the longest 1 minute of 2024!

Really loved the intro with the post-apocalyptic vibe, referencing the state of the town, the man and the bike.
The videos are a work of art in themselves, unkile on any other bike channel.
Hats off to the team, the writers and Sarge!
May the tribe grow to a million and beyond!

Still remember watching your 675 video & the beginning of my biker journey. Alot has changed since then. Good to see you still going strong Sarge!

For all the enthusiasts crying, you'll should have bought the original Daytona and given Triumph money, now they will only make bikes that actually sell.
They can make whatever bike they want. Just don’t call it something it’s not
I did buy the original daytona. So it hurts to see it reduced to this. I'm sure this is a great bike. Like sagar said, they could have called it the trident sport or the sprint or whatever. And kept the daytona badge for a racing special. The name has done more damage to this bike than the bike itself.
Such uninformed comments can only come from someone naive to the industry. Race specials very rarely earn the manufacturers much money. They are a showcase of what that brand can do. KTM RC8, DAYTONA 675, etc were all in that breed of muscle flex sportsbikes. And it's not that they won't sell in okay numbers. Daytona 675 was supposed to be a 4000 unit limited run model. The bike was so good (taking the fight to the Japanese 600s and all that) that not only did it put triumph right in the middle of the map for fast bikes to buy (the street based street 675 and Daytona practically did a resurgence of the triumph brand in the sportsbike world). So yeah. It was a roaring success for triumph. The lack of buyers didn't kill the Daytona. The amount of R and D needed to stick to emission norms not being worth the profit did. Tiger advs were the new hot selling cakes. And triumph is a for profit organisation. It saw more profit in tigers and street triples. Daytona never was a loss making product. If triumph cared about enthusiasts it would have easily kept the original Daytona alive. Especially because their 765 are being run in all moto 2 bikes. It would have easily sustained the whole effort with some profit, if not minted them money Like tigers do, coz they can be sold at a premium to 40 year olds who have a much higher spending capacity but can't ride daytonas. So your logic that Daytona didn't sell well or enthusiasts didn't buy it (there was always a waiting list for it in fact) is a premise that can be conjured up by someone who has only 2 active brain cells who are fighting ober who gets the Friday night shift.
I was poor 10 years ago
It's ok they want to make a faired bike but giving it the name Daytona is what wrong with this bike
10 years down the line. World has come a full circle for Sarge.
The emotions it evoked in him were noticeable as it seems like a part of his core memories.
Keep up the good work Sir.
Cheers bud. They surely were. Do like and share the love
Logged in from all possible devices Sagar brother👏👏🤗🤗🤗🤗, liked, shared as many times as possible..what else brother😊

Man, I could feel the pain in your eyes. 😢 I still watch your 10 year old video of the Daytona and feel proud that I had an opportunity to see you riding that beast on the ghats of Lavasa. Lots of love to you.❤ Anyway, you are aging like fine wine. ❤

It's heartwarming to see so many comments from people who have had a decade long journey with your videos. More power to you, our support is with you.

That 10 year old Daytona video is still mermerising for me. I watch it often for my love for Daytona and lavasa.....and my respect for Mr. Sagar as one of my favourite bike reviewers....😊

That Daytona video back in time you did Sarge, me and so many of my friends were in awe of it. I remember we sitting and used to watch it on repeat and dream that one day we gonna buy that mean machine and take it to Lavasa.
Till now when I see Older Daytona on road, my face has a big smile and back of my mind comes your picture riding it with that pretty sweet exhaust note.
Daytona was always my first love in motorcycles and Sarge thanks for making me and others see her that way.
Most welcome. Do like and share the love
ur video on 675r was the first video of urs ive seen. god the sound on that was pure heaven. ntng can come close to that. they shouldnt have used daytona name for it. thankfully they didnt downgrade the street triple. the fact that 765daytona lives on as street triple 765rs still keeps my hope for a powerful middle weight alive
I have lost all hope now
That Howl of the Engine, That power wheelie and you screaming whatta engine this is incredible!! Still symphony to our ears❤. Rest the Daytona will be a legend in our stories. Cheers Sarge!

It's only a matter of chance that I too was looking for my first big bike almost 10 years ago at the same time :). I test-rode a couple of HD bikes and Triumphs as well... Both the Daytona and Street Triple. I still remember how trigger-happy both were, and just felt way way out my league. So like a noob, I bought the Iron. Been looking to get a "good" bike for some time now, and have been consistently divided between the Trident and RS... Until I found out that the Daytona was back. Back then, even the small test ride of the Daytona had left such an amazing impression on me, I WAS hoping it was the same one. Unfortunately, not to be. I genuinely agree with the Cardinal Sin. Some names matter :) Thank you Sarge for this review

Just like always your videos are sublime Sagar. I'm a trident owner myself and I wish the trident was like the new daytona , least triumph could have done was to change the name of this Supersport machine.

11years back ❤. No issues in the engine or bike frame suspension. Rode 16000kms sold in may2024 for 6.50lacs. Triumph is such good VFM
Daytona Badge took care of the price of the motorcycle :)
Will make even more money now
I was hooked to your description and review of motorcycles by watching the OG Daytona 675 video. And here we're, full circle. You've come a long way, Sarge. You're a moto journalism legend in my eyes. Although I think the new Daytona 660 is a downgrade from it's predecessor, both in terms of power and looks, & the instead should've shared herself as a twin to Street Triple 765 instead of the Trident 660, it's still a great bike.
Much love, may you have a better year up next.
Good bike wrong name
We grown up by watching the love of sarge to Daytona. So we carry the same emotion as you brother.The new daytona 660 is a good bike,but the issue what we have is using the legendary name of "Daytona" in it.We would have happily accepted the name Trident RS ,or anything but Daytona. Daytona deserved a better farewell
💯
Man i still remember the first video that I saw of you was the Daytona 675R
"If you've all the money in the world" ❤
That was a special special bike
@SagarSheldekarOfficial got emo and went back to see that 10 year old video again. Thanks for everything❤️
This is an emotional one Sarge ✨️ The video of you on the old 675r was one of the best of your skills on taming and handling that beast , period 💯

Hey Sagar, I still remember your Daytona review had come out, I was looking for a super sport, I was confused between zx6r and Daytona. We met in Lavasa for Motoday and had a detailed discussion with you on this. Then I finalised the Daytona and we met the very next year in Vashi bike saftey event and you found my Daytona in parking after the show which was the only one there. You asked who’s Daytona is this and then we met again in the parking lot and it was real fun and again we met at IBW. 8 years since that day, still riding the same machine with same passion. Hoping to meet you soon. Hopefully 🤞 on track.
Good to hear from you again. Take good care of the beauty more so now

Very well presented and correctly said.....the brand Daytona is too holy to have been used for such a machine like 660. they should have gone with sprint 660 instead. And I am pretty sure, if relaunched with a 765 engine, people will buy!

Given a choice, I'll always choose the 675R hands down!! The old video is still one of my favorites.
We all will.
When I watched your that videos, that old videos that time I was a young boy now I have turned into a grown man my hair has also turned into white and now I am still your fan but one thing that is common that time I don't got a motorcycle and now I have not got one. But I am chasing the dream of buying one.
Love you my big brother 💕.

Hi Sagar ! Your verdict is out of the box ❤
That's why I always recommend Bike Enthusiasts to watch your video.
In maximum cases I realized that the Older Version of many Iconic Bikes were way more aggressive and well connected with the Rider.
The absence of Analog Rev Counter has broken many hearts, the heart which used to match it's beat with increasing RPM.....

@SagarSheldekarOfficial always Bro
hey Sarge, former 2014 Daytona 675 owner here, which I foolishly sold in 2020, I remember telling everyone who'd listen back upon news of the "new" Daytona 660 that it really should have been named the Sprint 660 as it is the logical successor to the Sprint range, as a sport-tourer (though that 14 litre fuel tank isn't such befitting a sport-tourer). This is Sambhaji-rao raje trying to fill the mammoth shoes of his father Shivaji raje, or Robin trying to don the Bat-suit and pretend he is Batman. Nope, we aren't falling for the name dilution trick. This isn't a bad bike, on the contrary, it's a compelling step to its rivals the Ninja 650 and CBR650R, just not the Daytona update we expected.
The supersport market sure might have shrunk, but the atrocious price increases have a lot to do with it. You mention the 1000cc supersports being the replacement for the 600 class supersport since the electronic nanny-aids make it easy for riders. That might be true for small section of riders, but looking at the prices, do you really think the market will be huge? Even the litre class market is shrinking, and icons like the GSX-R1000 and YZF-R1 are now dead. The ZX-10R and CBR1000RR-R soldier on, but how long? Even if we excuse Yamaha of not selling a street-legal R6, having practically replaced the R6 with a Ninja 650 cousin in the R7, Honda has a new CBR600RR that they aren't bothered to sell.
The other problem is, Triumph is NOT listening to their customers. 2020 Street Triple update brought such a shitty TFT display theme, you couldn't easily read the tachometer, did Triumph listen to customers and bring back the old theme from the 2017-2019 Street Triple in the 2024 refresh? Nope, they continued the old garbage themed display, not even offering an option of the old style theme which is so much more legible. And for a current Daytona 765, all they need to do is put fairings on the Street Triple - I don't mind the halogen lights and it probably wouldn't break the bank to have an LED headlight unit that fits the same shape of the old fairing, if they really want to save money on not making new shaped fairings. But no, Triumph isn't listening. Anyone who's keeping tabs on how Triumph has gone completely hands-off, let Bajaj handle everything in India, shows they aren't listening and don't care.
Good bike wrong name
I absolutely love your review.. And this one in particular..I could feel your emotions.. A big hug coming to you brother.. In the words of the wise.. This too shall pass.. Hopefully engineers would be back, calling the shots..instead of marketers..
Amen! Glad you enjoyed it. Gotta meet soon
Once i saw the video of you riding Daytona 675r back in 2014 i was fan of that bike and you, the way you have the control on a bike 🤩
Amazing...
But from now owning a Triumph Trident 660 i very well know the bike can be named Daytona but it can never be the legendary 675 r...😞
Good bike wrong name
I still remember the old Daytona shooting past my car on Mumbai Ahmedabad highway on a Sunday… goosebumps… now gone.. maybe forever

When Sagar reviewed Daytona 675R I bought the 675. Been a decade still the best beauty i ever rode on and off track. Raced for 4 years she was roaring against those Inline 4s.
660 not for me, Street Triple 765 yeah thats one of the best in the market. 600CC ZX6R is a beauty.
Still nothing matches Daytona 675, I can completely relate to Sagar.
Cheers

Man this is just so so sad. More than anything, you made me fall in love with the Daytona brand, dreamt of owning the 675r one day since your video came out. Used to close my eyes and hear it sing and motivate myself even to this day. Now when I can finally buy it, it no longer exists 💔

Man the pain in his voice in the end, i can feel it 😭,maybe for non enthusiast this might not be big deal but for the enthusiast it hurts brands like Triumph naming their average sports bike after the legendary bike (daytona).

This makes me wanna buy the 675r more than ever before. Coming soon to join my garage 💥
Good on ya
At least one guy understood my feelings for the Daytona... Really hard to accept this as the Daytona man... Hurts to see that 675R go away. I just hope i get enough money to buy it in second hand real soon... i absolutely dont mind it!
Nothing wrong with the bike just not worthy of that name
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial Thats exactly my point... Maybe naming it The Trident 660R would make much more sense... Not a Daytona come on!
Enjoyed watching as always ❤
Cheers mate. Do like and share the love
Saw your video of Dayton 675 R in my childhood. I got inspired to buy one when I will be earning; but as said the truth by Sage for the litre class love, I am jumping straight to S1000 RR or CBR 1000 RRR ( if available).
Companies like Triumph are responsible to make youngsters as me to switch up to a litre class, since childhood dreams are crushed!
On the other hand ZX-6R exists but old guys know that it's not anymore the same grunt! For example:- old zx6r will still beat the new 6r at all means.
So people like me are left with no options other than litre class package
Fair enough
Thank you Sarge, You made my day❤
I had been requesting a review on this from a long time and oh boy you made my buying decision abundantly clear. Thank you so much really appreciate it🙏
I might prefer going with ZX4RR or ZX6R. Please let me know if you have any thoughts. Thank you again😄🙌
Most welcome am yet to ride the zx4rr but you can see my review of the zx6r.
Can feel ur pain sarge, I recall ur review of Daytona on PD, man I immediately got hooked and hit subscribe, TBH after watching that review only started following you, I got excited again after new Daytona video alert but it rather made me sad.
Good bike wrong name
Oh my!! Can't wait for this one! The feeling when 30 mins seems too long!
Almost time
There was a bike at store called roaring toys at dahisar kandarpada metro station , that Daytona 2016 model had sc exhaust, it was stage 2 track tuned , even the fresh tires would loose grip it had mad power , installed accesories 5 lakhs to be precise , it also had stabilizer used for wobbling, better everything suspension all low down and hard .
Sweet bike
Haven't had a chance to see one of these on the road yet, but I've experienced the Trident 660 and Daytona 675R. The Trident somehow looks like a CB300R XL and while it does sound good when revved up, the 675 makes the hair on my neck stand.
No comparison
The daytona 675 review where sarge says something like as the rev climbs it lights like Christmas tree from power drift was the first video i watched now again with this video brings back old sweet memories
