That’s awesome! THATS MY BIKE. I picked up from wheels about 3 weeks ago! Awesome bike! Crazy that I watch your vids and you’ve ridden my bike.
That's brilliant I did wonder if it had sold! You got a cracking bike their mate really nice 👍👍
Wish you got a chance to proper get on the twisties! Chuffed with it. Thanks - keep the content coming!
Awesome, might see you about on my travels 👍
Congrats, she looks like a cracking bike! Not everyone can say they own a bike that has been Lamb Chopped!
I always wondered if anyone would buy a bike that LC had tortured...I mean ridden!
Always loved these, so much more character than the competition. Keep the Sunday morning specials coming Chops, makes getting up with the kids more bearable 😂
Will do Pete think it's a good slot 👍 I've ridden the 765 and the Speed but not the 675 Street before 👍
Whatsup LC 👍🏻 i owned a Daytona 675R for almost 3 years but sold it April this year. Imo the Daytona 675R is definitely class leader and some. I can tell you exactly what was factory on this bike everything but the rear sets and levers!! All the carbon the brembos the braided lines the ohlins slipper clutch and yeah like you said it has a quick shifter but no blipper which is a huge shame as I’m a massive blipper fan. Ive absolutely nothing but positive things to say about this 675R FANTASTIC all round package. 👍🏻
Thanks for the confirmation Adam on the bits very high spec then standard! 👍👍
Lamb Chop Rides yes mate no other super sports comes with the 675R specs 👌here’s my one i had th-cam.com/video/awwIozF1sOU/w-d-xo.html
Indeed sir I pc5 and dynotune my 17675r with an alpha t yoshimura and that thing pulls like crazy
bulls eye you don’t see many Daytona with the yoshimura but i actually really like it 👍🏻 th-cam.com/video/awwIozF1sOU/w-d-xo.html this was mine
@@adamstratford6740 that's actually a very nice Daytona I need to put a video of mine will do soon
Please Triumph !! Bring this back !!
Great bike !! 😎👍
Great review Mr Chops! I bought the 765R a couple of months ago, what a great bike! Triumph really have nailed it in the 750 class. It goes like stink, handles well and the fit and finish is brilliant. 58mpg too 👍
I have an L7 GSXR 1000R but I still miss my 675R. Something about it was just absolutely perfect and satisfying. L7 doesnt quite scratch that itch
Hey Chops, I know you head to Peterborough a lot. Find the B660 next time you’re up and head out to Kimbolton area.
....and toot when you go by my house 👍🏼
OK thanks for the tip will give that route a whirl cheers
Awesome stretch of road! 👍
Think you have hit on a great idea for reviewing second hand bikes or bikes that come from the days before motovlogging on TH-cam started. Classic example being the R1 and the Triumph your reviewing now. Having a bike is not all about having a brand new £16k+ bike 👍😎🤘
Triumph Triples, such good road bikes, I loved my Sprint 1050...
The org "out of the box" D675 has very low mounted rearsets as well. And not only that, you sit higher up more on top of the bike than in the bike compared to other sportbikes. On japanese bikes you usually sit in the bike(except for the "new" R1 which feels like an older Ducati sportbike), IE on traditional sport bikes seat is lower and the footpegs are high up making for a cramped leg experience but not on the d675. And again, not only that but the distance from the seat over the fuel tank to the clippons is pretty short compared to other bikes. Only the old Panigale has that as well.
Yes agree will that comments, interesting regarding standard footpeg hight 👍
@@LambChopRides Mm, d675 is pretty generous with leg room, I could ride my d675 to far off trackdays(trackweekends) for like up to 6h of one way travel time but doing it on my other bikes was very uncomfortable, and yet I have legs on the shorter side. One thing that upset me with the new d675, the seat/sadle was not as narrow on the first gen! made my flatfooting expatiates a bit harder. On the r1 it is impossible for me because of the hard edge under the seat...
That was so funny seeing you ride my local roads. I have an F850GSA and go hunting for the bumpiest - there is plenty in the Fens! The really bumpy one you went of is one of my favourites that I usually stand up. Next time get to the other side of the A1 (west) find Elton off A605 and go to Wansford. There are plenty of good roads that side of Peterborough.
Where the hell did you get to, was that Peterborough or Mordor lol? Anyway, very enjoyable review & great to see your revisiting an "old" classic in the middleweight sports scene. Despite probably sounding like a broken record, this is where it's at in my opinion. As bigger bikes get faster & more expensive, supersport bikes make more & more sense especially for the road. I'm thinking there will be a resurgence in the supersport scene at some point soonish (he says hopefully!)
Yes I do agree, these sized bikes are more engaging on the road as you can open them up without scaring yourself silly or risking jail time!
+1 here too for a Supersport Renaissance - mmm if only Honda could cobble something together from their VF500f2 and VFR400 heritage and come up with a new 600 !.
@@paultanton4307 Agreed. A properly spec'd i4 250 or i4/V4 400 would be a thing of beauty. Recent rumours Kawasaki are making/have made an i4 250 ninja but may only be for the Asian market. Fingers crossed it turns up in Europe too, if it exists! Also hoping it may kick start a new/old market sector if it comes to fruition.
Mmm yes have heard about a Supercharged 250cc inline 4 from Kawasaki - it sounds completely nuts but hey ho i'll give it a good look if it ever comes to fruition.
I love my 675r !! And all the carbon is factory I have the same exact bike. I'm so glad you finally got to ride one !!
Thanks Joseph 👍👍
Funnily enough I sold my 675r for a 60th R1, the 675r is by far the best most fun bike i've ever ridden, such a wicked little bike and i hope to be back on one very soon. It's such a shame the 600 market is dead now, yeah 1000s are a great thrill but when it comes to fun you can't beat a little 600.
Yes agreed Millga, Im really liking the middleweights ive tried recently
Another entertaining review full of relevant information, comedy and proper riding! Keep them coming..
Thanks Jesse
People are starting to notice you must be living right next to Wheels Motorcycles, Chops 😁
That aside , nice review on this bike . It’s a change from all the bikes that are flooding TH-cam these days ... there must be more than a thousand reviews of a Honda CB650R Neo Sports Cafe for example. Even tough that might be my next bike 🤣
For real Chops, every review you make is golden ... no questioning that 💪👌🤙
I’m a huge fan 😎
Thanks very much Roland really appreciate the kind words
My pleasure !
Nice one, be great to compare it to a street triple rs now, love to know if you considered the suspension as good on the rs.
How does it compare to the Suzuki gsxr 750? Lovely bit of kit!
Own a street triple 675 awesome bike nice review
Thinking of upgrading my bandit for one of these. Might have just settled it 😂👌🏻.
chopsy how does this compare to gsxr 750 or similar age? Which would you have as a track bike, and which for road ?
The GSXR 750 Im ashamed to say Ive never ridden! I really want to sort that out now however
@@LambChopRidesLook forward the comparison video!
The whine reminds me of the 4 cylinders of 1980s Yamaha. I really like the speed triple very impressed, I'm a power junkie especially torque it's time they upgrade engine say 1350cc. Sorry just don't like anything that don't produce 100+ torque, my ninja ,ZX-14 turbocharger at just 5 psi is pushing 151tourque. Never do a double downshift,lol. Chops how about doing a test on the new V-Max.
I love the dash. I'm still waiting to see a bike that does it better than my CBR 650R that doesn't cost $21,000. The Speed Triple RR is just too ludicrously expensive for what you get.
t
Haha funny blog 😂 chops great video I like the 675 thanks for showing the bike thanks from danny
Thanks Danny 👍
Nice one lamby🏍👊
Think you need one for a track bike mate!😉😉😉👍🏼😔👍🏼
Yes not a bad idea, been looking :-) hehe
Did a TD at brands last year bloke in next garage had just bought a new blade ,but was take his mates 675r out for a session ,he came back in and said “ I’ve bought the wrong f*cking bike “
Yes I can believe it! Would imagine it's an incredible track machine too!
Ow, nice bike. A hidden gem I say.
Interesting 👍👍👍.
Yes surprising good Chris, even cruised the classifieds on them since riding this 👍
Lovely.. but what's the suspension like??
Lol
Good video Lamb Chop.
Thanks Lyn
Should have came to bourne then headed out to a1, Elton bends used to be amazing, but too bumpy now 😩u went completely the wrong way out of the borough 🤣
haha, yeah got completely lost!! :-)
So for the money, this bike or the ZX6? Edit: Nevermind LOL you answered it later in the vid ;)
William Steyert I’m a big Kawasaki fan but the Daytona 675R wins all day long imo
All motorcyclist must say I wish I had better roads.
No bends around there. Elton the roads are awful....rutland...or roundabouts
The best in its class. Love the low weight, torque, brembos, and ohlins. Who doesn’t love that Triumph whistle.
chops apparently
I don't like it as well
Finding Elton
I think it's going to be a long, long time
Nice review Chops, I know people who have owned these and all of them are huge fans. They would all get a 765 version in a heartbeat. Triumph need to get on a make a road bike.
so agree, I had a 675R, what a bike, loved it, I would have got a 765R too had they not sold out in 40 minutes !!!
Why do I watch all your vids don't even have me licence lol
Haha good to hear they still appeal! 👍👍🙏
shane ward Same 😀
Haha same here, going to start lessons soon though I'm thinking a 390 Duke could be coming my way next year🤔😆
You might get a few dislikes leaving out the 675 from the title lol. Loved that cut, "I'll indicate so you have an idea where I'm going" cut "I don't have a clue where I'm going" 😂
HAHA I did think I would try my luck with the title :-)
@@LambChopRides Got to mate, those extra views and interaction are important 👍😎
I’ve owned 3 675 street triples and that sound makes me wish I still had one 😢
Yes lovely induction roar and unmistakable whine 👍
Yeah, I miss my street 675r, and those B Road giggles
I can always tell when a Triumph is near me due to its distinctive whine - I'm guessing its the CounterBalance Shaft at work.
The Daytona is a bike I am absolutely dreaming of for my first bike under my A licence. I know that's well over three years away but I absolutely fell in love with it after sitting on one in a dealership. I know there are probably hundreds of better options for 600s, but this has what I want - a triple engine, Triumph quality and plenty of torque. Definitely would be doing stuff like bar end mirrors, tail tidy, LED headlights, blacked out double bubble screen and perhaps an SC Project or Racefit exhaust on it
My favorite middle weight bike. I still have mine, but I just bought a Street Triple 765 R that I really enjoy for the public roads.
Bumpy roads, welcome to our world, possibly the worst roads in the country in East Anglia.
Great vid Chops, it would be great to see you try the new 765 Daytona for comparison. 😜
Yes would love too as I suspect that's going to be perfection 👌
I've had my 2017 daytona 6752 for 3 years now, and there's a reason they're so hard find. Absolutely love it to bits.
Brilliant review sir .
🏴love from Scotland 🏴
Awesome bike and great review. So wish they still built this bike, with a few updates such as LED lights and a TFT screen.
8:20 THATS THE STRIP CLUB NO WAYYYYY
I guess you never found Elton. It's nice there. Nice cafe.
4 years later and Triumph finally bring out a new Daytona, that isn't a Daytona at all. When will they learn?!
Love your work Chops, keep up the s/h reviews for the real world punters out there
Thanks Doodle 👍
My bike!
Good video. I own the street triple, cracking bikes, fitted quick shifter and a pro race cone exhaust, sounds lovely
Hahahaha I traded my Superduke 1290gt after 3 years - to a 2016 675r annnnd loving it!
How would you rate it comfort wise? I know it's a sportbike, but can it do any kind of touring? For example R6 is known for very aggressive seating position, while CBR 600 RR is known for being more comfy six hundred. I like the daytona a lot, but uncomfortable ergonomics could be deal breaker for me. I know there's the street triple too, but daytona is more powerful ;).
Let's face it, the new 1000's are so powerful, they are too much for manual control
Wheres before the ECU's were needed to get more power, they are now needed to restrain that power
And as for that gap,.. they killed the GSX-R 750 so it's only gotten bigger
Your house to wheels....🤔. Bit of a pilgrimage 🤣
Yes it is. Shame or I would be there all the time! 😁
Lamb Chop Rides I think Mrs Chops thinks you’re there enough !
Lamb Chop Rides it’s best to get out of that area ASAP as they’ll want you in their gene pool 🍆🤣
Did you know triumph isn’t going to make this bike again until 2023 can’t believe they’re waiting that long
I love the triple engine configuration, is ace for the road and track! :-)
This just looks like stupid fun. I don't NEED a Supersport, but I really want one now
Country roads like that you'd been better off whizzing around urban roads like RN675 did.
Beautiful bike looks really aggressive with under tail exhaust, and listen to that engine sound when open up the throttle
Intoxicating sound.
You sold that bike good n proper.
Should my stable grow it'd be on the short list.
sales dropped because of the price.
for the price you used to get this one, you could just slap a 'tiny' bit on top and get a literbike anyway
Spot on about the demise of the 600 class, that is a great bike, just needs a blipper. Nice review LC 👍
Great review but Lamp Chop saying you should get a middleweight instead of a litre bike is like an alcoholic saying your shouldn't drink, the man has a litre GSXR with a full system AND and H2 Supercharged litre bike 😂 anyway always liked the Daytona but many reviews say how uncomfortable it is so interesting to see how you found it pretty ok, or maybe the R1was so bad it desensitised you haha
Haha yes I do get the irony of it 😂 but I'm a typical example of buyers these days thinking they need a litre bike when really these middleweights really make much more rewarding road bikes 👍
Is the Street triple the 'now' version of this?
Yes exactly
" The scenery around here is amazing " lol it's flatter than a pancake , if you want scenery go to the Derbyshire Peak District .
This was a good video. That bike let's you rev it out without being a mental speeds
Owned the first gen with the under tail exhaust. Easily my favorite motorcycle.
Lovely day. Lovely bike. Lovely video. Thank you Lambo
I tracked my 675r and never looked back great trackday weapon
Again another great review chops, one of my favourite sounding bikes
Nice...Even better with a Tail/Tidy....Ha !!
So you haven't tried the Street Triple? Essentially the same bike but an even more relaxed riding position. they sound wonderful on full song.
Yes I agree lovely on the boil, I've tried the RS Street and Speed Triple but not the original 675 👍
it's a whistle not a whine!
We always need more power and you know it.
I had an 04 R6 then an 07 CBR600. But always regretted getting the CBR instead of the Daytona. Great review again. Your bent humour makes up for the straight roads 🤓
haha thanks Bruce I think :-)
Great video LC. I owned a Daytona 675 about 4 years ago and I loved it but, having said that, I've loved all of my bikes.
Triumph should bring out the 765 Daytona as soon as, with a blipper on it too, I'm certain it will be a massive hit.
Im hoping they will after the Moto 2 project are all sold and out with customers. I think the middleweight class might be in for a resurgence! I think people need to get the litre bike thing out of their system but once youve owned one you realize that actually these middleweights make much more sense as a road bike
great review Chops. Loved it when you were wringing its neck. Sounds sweet! If they brought back the 750 class with the engine tech they have these days, the bikes would make more power than litre bikes were making 10 years ago. Or oat least close. More than plenty for the road.
Yes completely agree, its a great size for the roads!
The Street triple sounds wonderful👍👌
Absolutely love any and every video you put out !!!! Keep up the excellent work!!! Just so honest about everything!! Really helps in our decisions to buy or not !!!
Thanks Michael really appreciated the feedback buddy
If you’re in Peterborough and want to go for a nice ride on a sunny day, in the morning keep the sun behind you. In the afternoon on your left, in the evening ride towards it ;)
haha love it :)
Do you guys think someone could start on this bike weather it be the 675 or 675r as their first bike?
You can start on any bike for your first, the important thing is to just feel it out and don't ride out of your comfort zone, get used to it and don't be billy big balls on your first outing. You should treat motorbike riding as a lifelong learning experience.
Good work Chops
Love the vids Chops but please let me show you some decent roads round Pbor, I live near Elton and also own a 675R but you really need to be shown the good roads because I am cringing watching you going on the Fenland roads that are subsiding and bumpy Wrong Wrong Wrong!!
I can show you the Good Stuff so next time up here please let me know cause its a shame to be honest! Braaaaap
Haha deal Peter 👍👍😁
I've been on the Wansford rd out of Elton a few times. Little traffic and a few bendy bits.
My dream when I was younger was to pass my test and get a Daytona. Always loved them. What a bike. I think the new one is only being made to limited numbers. 150 I think and 120 for the UK. £15000. What a bike.
Yes correct John, new ones are all sold out. Hopefully they will make a new mass produced version
@@LambChopRides to be honest chops I think they have given up on them but there's always hope. Perhaps one day I might get my hands on one like you drove. Takecare.
Triumph are making 765 in total. Don't know how many are destined for the UK.
Hi chops thinking of flashing my bike, you ever had any experience with bsd in Peterborough?cheers 👍
Yes my GSXR had one of their flashes before the ECU recall & it was replaced it was spot on 👍
@@LambChopRides will give them a whirl then 👍
Wouldn't hold that hope that they starting making Daytonas again. Can't remember whether it was 44 Teeth or Bennett's but somewhere last week I watched Triumph's head engineer being interviewed about the new Moto 2 inspired Daytona and he said "this will be the last Daytona we make".
What he actually said was this will be the last of “this” Daytona we make. The problem is Euro 5. They’ve used the same Daytona engine on the new Street Triple but with Euro 5 the BHP hasn’t really increased from old
Street Triple and the bike is 6kgs heavier. So they need a completely new engine to do another Daytona as you can’t bring out a new bike that’s slower than the old one. Not saying they will but if they do a Daytona in the future it won’t be with the 765
@@returnedtotheearth1326 Ah eventually I'll learn to either keep quiet or check facts first.
Haha no worries. I’m on just going on what they’ve said and reading between the lines with a bit of guess work. I could be completely wrong 😂
if i ever get rid of my shiver i would like to try a triple mt09 or street speed triple
Yes it's a great engine configuration for sure 👍
👍
Not an h2 is it.
Haha no, no it isn't 😁
elton john 😉
Haha did think that myself while rewatching! 😂
The clocks look a tad dated. What a shame on a great looking bike.
Who cares, just ride it.Lack of tft is a bonus for me.
I've got to agree with Leo on this one...I've got a 19 plate Street Triple that has the fancy dash. I'll be honest it's got too much going on. Just give me the dash on this Daytona!
Ethan Senior I agree. I have a KTM 1090. No tft and it’s fine for me but it’s the first thing I noticed. Also in 8 years time when it starts to go wrong who’s gonna want that expensive grief?
I always laugh at people moaning about TFT screens and the fear of what’s going to happen to it in 10 years time? They all must have the old tube TVs at home that are about 2 feet deep 😂
Returned To The Earth it must be an old man thing. Still gutted my car hasn’t got points and a distributor. 👍
The nose looks ugly as sin! I prefer the style of the '07 version (biased as I had one!), the version just after was still nice, but down hill after that :-(
What's it like for a big bloke ?I'm around 6ft 4
Stunning machine but a bit dull in the looks department.
Cracking video. Glad I'm not the only person who has a problem trying to get out of Peterborough. Fenland roads are shite. Try riding a 996 on them, let alone a modern sportsbike. So if this size bike is more than enough power for road use; why the H2 😉
Yes it's a fair point! H2 isn't just about speed though I love the engineering of it. But probably this would have it for pure riding pleasure and engagement have to say. Being a larger guy I also look ridiculous on normal sized modern sports bikes, h2 fits my larger frame better 😁
