- Triumphs quest for domination of the 600cc supersport category took another leap forward with the introduction of the 2009 Daytona 675.
While at first glance the new 675 looks identical to the previous model, a rack of detail changes should add up to make the new machine a bigger threat to the Japanese opposition the 2006-2008 version was no slouch in handling and performance to start with.
But how much better is the new Daytona 675? For a measured analysis both bikes went through the MCN mill of side-by-side road riding, performance and dyno testing.

@transonicbuoy1 It really depends on the person. I rode my 675 for 6 hours of over 500 kms of roads in one day. No complaints just mild stiffness. Way better than my friends R6 which nearly crippled me after half an hour.
@liamms89 Have you ever ridden on a salted road at 3 degrees? They're ridiculously slippery, they're going about as fast as they can around those corners.
The Sprint will likely be my next bike because of versatility, but the SOUND of the 675 trumps the big engine. I wish I could get a touring 675 with hard bags... a fly weight sport tourer!
Sorry to all those fortunate to have nice weather but here in britian its always like this, this time of year,and even when the day starts sunny with no clouds, within a hour there can be floods and lightning. we're lucky like that
Why did they even do tests if it was raining???
Good review on the difference between the 08 & 09 models..
definitely helped me in my decision..
the cameraman and the sound got better, thank you
@lanlug It doesn't matter where someone lives FFS. A stupid person is stupid everywhere.
Now...
A stock CBR1000 will hit around 170 (not that top speed matters, its really all about handling and acceleration). A modified Cibby built for drag racing should be able to hit 215, but those would be pretty boring to ride.
The difference in names is related to the protection from gray market imports. It says "fireblade" in the side, not CBR 900, so you know it's not a proper import. The different naming scheme is not limited to bikes. Lots of electronics manufacturers do the same.
When did you leave Performance Bikes?
I still have my Video Nasty VHS copies!
"Put tit's on you back and I might be
interested... Honestly." PMSL!!!
@transonicbuoy1 Depends on what you mean by long distance... do you mean long distance driving over a day? Or do you mean if they can manage long distance on the meter in total? .. My drives is usally all from 5km up to 400km/day without problems.. Thats a normal day tour with the bike... If you want to go between 2 cities instead of cruising i guess you can do that to... but this is not a long distance cruise bike.. but i like the driver placement... its comfortable..
cheers for that, but consider california is about 10 times the size of us, and the gixer died in 05 over here, the K 6/7/8 were a bit shite to be honest so suzuki's sale's over here dropped off, now im not knocking you here cause they are a descent bike, but you guy's seem to be die hard gsxr fan's, just look at yer AMA' no gixer mean's no chance, probs the reason for suzuki's stats.
im a brit n this is mcn, our weekly bike paper and probs the most upto date paper around as regards anything bikeing, as a country, ive read before that we buy more sportsbikes than anywhere else in the world, this is a new bike, thats why its here, performance figures are not relevent as theres only minor difference's, and the weather, yer out n the suns shining, then it chucks it down, you just get on with it lol, it only improves yer rideing skills, its just giveing you a first look.
You would think motorcycle news dot come would get people who actually have some experience to test the bikes. It really pisses me off that these squids get to ride such badass bikes, but don't even really "test" them. Looked like there second time riding. God I want that job
i know because everywhere u hear about england being cold, dark, rainy all of the time. We just finished winter and it only rained like twice. Other than that all clear blue skies. And no, we dont have 45 degree days.... and its hardly dusty and windy.. i dont know where u've been living nug.
boring droning voice on what should be an interesting video. I have a 2008 se which to me looks better than the 2009 model because of the colour, and as for the small improvements not so sure I'm a good enough rider to notice them ! Still a bloody nice bike
Zzzzzzzzz
This was filmed clearly in winter, but yeah the weather over here is pretty shit. Can make it more fun though when your screamin along country roads in the pissing rain, makes it a more challenging experience.
Brits may buy more sport bikes per capita then the rest of the world but the US leads in total sport bike sales. Acording to their annual corporate report Suzuki sold more bikes in California alone last year then in the UK.
@lanlug No, you have seen motorbike speedos reading 180 mph, just because it says it doesnt make it true. Why do you think they used a GPS system on the daytona in this video, it gives the true speed.
he said "the only difference you can SEE" before he spoke about the fairing. the video and commentary isnt the best but its decent. stop watching MCN vids if you dont like them, its that easy.
@liamms89 well.. just above 0 degrees outside and salty and wet road.. what did you expect? Aggressive cornering on that road would have landed them in the ditch...
the blades over here still have CBR on em so just get yerself some fireblade stickers n yer sorted, your bkes are same spec as ours so thats the only difference
@airsofter2247 And they will. Even if you calibrate it perfectly the slip of the rear tyre will cause a few % less actual speed than what is shown..
@lanlug Im not american, in English! And a cbr1000rr even with mods cant hit 215 mph, fact! just tell me where he got that number from?
The most annoying thing about this test is the monotone delivery of the road tester... Really makes you want to listen... NOT!
your forgetting the 45 degree days where it's too hot for life and it's windy and dusty as fuck but other than that agreed :)
Did sound strange, and at one point i thought a plane was coming in to land, but it was just some weird bike scream
These are primarily designed as track/race bikes so any judgments made regarding road riding are moot.
@liamms89 They are riding cautiously because of the road conditions they mentioned.
2009 675 SE is the illest, white with blue accents! it's on my list of next to buy!
r6 is gonna be faster in top end defenatly, probably in low end too to be honest.
Testing bikes in GB: Not a good idea at all!! Wet every damn day of the year...
Who WHOO!! im subscrober 7301! Stay tuned for my vids of my 05 GSXR 750...
it was because triumph silverstone didnt sound as snappy
read the previous comment's, your answer is there!!!!
Why mention the Japanese? There are Italian bikes too? Bike is exciting to ride in isolation. It's like a modern LC. It's light and can easily get you into trouble. Decent on fuel. I'm 50 and enjoy this rude bikes induction sound. MCN should have taken it to Spain on a ferry to better weather.
I've had the baffles ripped off out of mine and welded back up. Far nicer. 👍
Never could stand the wheeze whine noise they make.
That commentator makes this a very boring video.
I'm not saying bikes cant go 200 MPH plus, I was arguing that even if a speedo is showing a speed doesn't actually mean that's there true speed. I think a stock cbr1000 can push about 175mph and he's saying that his mate was hitting 215mph!! That's 40mph more and Honda already squeezes most of the power from these engines. And at this kinda speed you need so much more HP to move the topend up anymore. The vayron could do 254mph with 1000bhp but to get it to go 16 mph faster then had to add anot
@salchipapa8000 the daytona is actually a 675cc. just because a bike has one more cylinder doesnt mean anything. it just means that with that much displacement they are using slightly bigger sized pistons. majority of the power comes from the tuning of valves high compression pistons cam shaft things like that. these bikes are almost the same in power but triumph has a very elite group of tuners on their team whove had pleanty of experience with racing.
Uh, top speed in the mid 150s...i think not. I've had my '08 up to nearly that in 5th gear and hadn't even kicked up into 6th yet. Crappy test...
@transonicbuoy1 just another supersport bike.really fast but not good for big distance trips.when i took it for a ride about 25 minutes i realised it was really uncomfortable.
Certain mileage number would help, but the 675 as with 600cc bikes are well capable of going for long distances; however, cruising with the rpms high for a long time does shorten the life of the engine. I would recommend a 1000cc for long distances, but 100 mile drive on the 675 would be fine.
I am thinking of getting one of these but I read something in a review that is scaring me off. The reviewer said the bike is awesome except for the heat from the exhaust heating up the frame and seat to the point where it is painful-any owners out there that could let me know if this is true??
@thebear417 2:50 "because the amount of surface water...." Please don't call me a "dum dum" because you didn't listen to the video.
I hear you there I am not a big gixer guy myself either. I have an old CBR 900. They call it Fireblade over there which I like, I dont know why they cant call it fireblade over here in the US.
This is the worst riding I've ever seen. Dude sticks his knee out a mile before the turn at like 15mph LOL
The UK is an awful place to test bikes.
this bike is known to be tall, im 5'9 would i be on tip toes?
the nearest dealership with a daytona is 2 hours away so cant sit on one to see for myself i'm afraid. thanks in advance to anyone who can help:)
the hell with the 675 i want to see daytona 1100 already so i can trade my 675 in. don't get me wrong i love my 675, but if a 1100 comes out i'm all over that.
How smooth is the Daytona's 3 cylinder motor compared to the Japanese 4's? I had a Ninja 650 which is parallel twin, and I've ridden a Gixxer, and it was so smooth it blew me away. If I ever got another super sport, I'd don't think I'd ever go back to 2 cylinders, just because of the vibration.
what the hell are you talking about!!
@poika im not trying to down play triumphs or any thing but just for my own personal knowledge, a gsx-r 600 has 4 cylinders where as the daytona has 3, even though they are both 600cc, do you think triumph is faster even with one less cylinder ?
I think buell has the same problem
The japanese bikes are very nice, capable machines...It's just that you don't see many Triumphs... It's nice to ride knowing that you're not going to see another one passing you!
@salchipapa8000 I'm pretty sure most dyno results are showing the Triumph having more power than the suzuki... it has one less cylinder but 76cc more (the suzuki is 599cc)
It sounds better then the Triumph Brandshatch or the Triumph Silverstone :)
(the last one sounds more like a Goldwing then a supersport)
@rippedandpumped Hey. I may buy one this sunday at the local dealer (2007). I've sat on a gixxer, r6, cbr1000, all 2007 and up... way more comfortable. You can tell the Daytona is for the track as soon as you sit on it. agressive seat which is very firm and the bars are agressive. I'm around your height and when my ass is furthest at the back and i can plant my feet. The bike is very narrow-ish. which felt quite good. I think you're good to go. Make the trek with a buddy and sit on one!
yea i dont know where you live but my dads shop sells them
@captainbanana11 I haven't ridden this one, just a fan. However, I ride a 2005 zx-6r and I can tell you that you may want to start on a 250 like I did. There is a lot of power especially when you go above about 5k rpm, pretty consistent on bikes in the same class.
That being said if you are a mature rider who is willing to be careful and take it slow anything is possible.
there is a bit more strain on the 675, as its only 3 cylinder so they tend to waer down faster than the usual 600s
my 09 ninja zx-6r is better
MCN has rubbish reviews...
I love Triumph!
I've got a 2004 Daytona 600.
My only complaint is that replacement parts are hard to come by.
Sweet exhaust note, too. My D6 has a Micron Can which makes it sing in 3rd around 6-7K.

Sounds sooo good!
RPN:...what do you know about it?......My neighbor is making me an offer
i can't refuse on '08 TR...he added titanium headers, some upscale fork trick,
etc etc.....I KNOW MACHINES [torque specialist, 500" Caddies, built a V-Twin.,Gixxers].....how would a tricked 08 compare to the ..'13? etc..thx, bro.
I live in Japan, and am now on my fourth VFR (had three in the uK, still keep a VTEC garaged there). Big question for me is, fancy one of these 675s: question is, are they are good for long distance? Would love to ride one in Japan, but I need the long haul capability. Any advice?
@usblg4gb my friend is 6'2 and he owns an 05 kawi ninja 636 i've ridden it and im 6feet tall, the ninja 636 is a tall bike that i think you would like. its the tallest bike i've ridden on
2009 675 shore is good,look Hot & fast.
I love it in jet black,COOL.
Good on ya Triumph.
Why would you do that?
ooops..just read your note again, you mentioned '13..I just get the feeling this
buddies' '08 could clean anything....and you should hear that TIT exhaust.
nothing like it...I'm on a little Island where a 250 may be too big for the roads.
...my other house is on Canadian Prairie, where you wind out 'Busas..thx
I disagree i think this is a very thorough and informative vid, some of mcns vids are awesome check out the new r1 vs Blade test.
that bike is sexy.
lol, i can barley hear what the man says, because of the loveley noise from the triumphs!
156 mph didn't the R6 2007 model do 170 mph in stock?
Leave it to the British to take a beautiful extremely good performing Italian bike, and make it look like an expensive toy for 3rd aged big-belly men... you suck! This bike deserves more!
Some people.
dyno?
his voice is totaly imotionless ...i almost fell asleep great bike though
@Saint305616 faster off the line but with a slightly lower top speed
No slipper for 09...
i will have a R6 please, or better yet a GXS-R 750
looks can be decieving. these bikes are amazingly fast.
Or buy a 600 and put a limiter on it. That way you save money and get used to the bike's weight. So when you will get the 600 you won't drop it at slow speeds.
we had a daytona race in britain a long long time ago too
That is the most polite explanation comment on youtube.
Its an inline triple (3) cylinder engine
they look real slow
They aren't.
@70chevynova
Oh right, thanks for letting me know although im still quite far from a 600cc (its 600 right?)
Im only 15 :P
well you're 23 now should be able to get one
ahahaha you crack me up
@FRFM00 thanks dude:o)
if i had the choice of getting a 07 dayton for around £3500 or a 09 daytona for £5500 what would be the best choice? get the newer 09 or save my ££ and do a few upgrades to the 07?
I'd do the 07...
10 years later and the 07 is now worth £5000
I-3
SWEET!
What type of engine does triumph use? I-4 or v twin etc.
Triple.
