    I miss 'normal' sized tail units. These little stubby ones don't suit every bike. Kinda makes this one look like two halves of two different bikes. I guess the softer styling suits the sort of bike it is.

    I wouldn’t bet on the tyre pressures being correct Dan (hence the odd handling)

    Yeah, good innit!? You said basically the same as I did, which is good! Same tyres too it seems.
    Certainly surprised me anyway, better than I thought it would be, although I had a fairly open mind going in to this one. Front end for sure, feels stiffer and slower to steer than I thought it would.. Maybe it's the steel frame and rake of the front end. Different bars and setup to the 765 of course so guess hard to compare handling given the wider bars.
    Nice review! I rode a white one, but good to see that your demo was alot drier than mine! 🤣👍😎. I got hail stones!
    Be good to see your comparison vs the Gsx8r if you get the chance, doubt there's much between them, but suspect the Suzuki is lighter and more fluid & eager on it's feet. 👍😎

    Thanks for this great video. I testrode this bike and loved the engine and the lovely sound from that triple. I am 6’2 and have a long upperbody and found the riding position a little to much lending forward for me. (Not as bad as the Yamaha R7). The dealer said you cant rise the bars which is bad. Its a lovely looking bar and love the look at the front. Not sure though from the side at the front looks like they missed something in the design here. There is one bike out there and its the Honda cbr650r. That bike is even more pretty. The new model is gorgeous. Never ride a cbr650r so i have to. How do you compare the riding position of the honda to this Daytona? Is it as much lent forward or less? Would like you to do a comparing video of thoose bike. I know its an inline 4 against a triple but anyway regarding handling, riding position etc. Would appreciate if you can do such a video.
    Like the Aprilia RS660 but think its a little bit plastic looking at the front and not sure about the quality with their former issues. Nothing beats Honda and Triumph regarding quality

    After watching allot of TH-cam reviews of this bike. I finally gave one a test ride the other day. because of the reviews I was expecting a let down. like a Trident that looks like a sport bike. so I was totally surprised by its power and handling. the bike is so much faster then the Trident. and the bike is really stable and planted feeling. I really loved everything about how it felt riding it. but when I stopped at lights I was looking at it and I started tapping on the gas tank and noticed that if felt like plastic. and the area around the dash looks plasticky. and then when I got back to the dealer I was asking the sales person how much the bike is selling. and the guy said it's not selling good. and then he said because it has to much plastic. and then he points out to me that what looks like the frame on the side of the bike is actual a piece of plastic.and I was kind of in shock because I didn't notice that. its actually got a tubular frame under the plastic piece. its the first bike I ever saw in my life with a fake frame. and I have to be honest. even though I loved almost everything about the bike. the plastic side cover that looks like a frame does mess with my head. also the brakes aren't near as good as the Brembo brakes on the 765 Rs. but other than that its a really good bike that I could be totally happy riding.

    Also impressive brakes and good built quality. Never complained about its (4 cyl) engine, however this 660 is from what I have seen right now a pure gem. the only downside is the front suspension. Where the TT600 gave me massive confidence, no fear at all weather or road conditions, this budget front fork makes me a bit cautious. Will ik buy one and trade in my 2007 Tiger 1050?
    Could thicker oil make some improvements?,,,pff question marks, doubts and hesitation.

    Interesting review. I really considered buying one of these but got the GSX8R instead as much preferred the handling of the Suzuki. It's a shame as the Triumph looks better & the engine is more exciting but the suspension & handling is just a bit odd as you say. I think the geometry is a bit off. The Suzuki's handling is great & the engine's great too in a different way to the Daytona. The low down & midrange grunt is surprisingly strong & makes it a better road bike for me personally, especially at legal speeds. Build quality & warranty is also better on the Suzuki. However, if Triumph sorted the suspension, it'd be a class leader imo.

    Currently Im not riding my 2014 675r, so I thought about selling it, but every new bike release makes me think I’ll regret if I do it. Every bike now is looking cheaper and without the premium components like öhlins, carbon fiber, steel brake lines, monoblock calipers… unless you go all in to a panigale v4s. The middle weight segment is more budget oriented than ever. I’ll probably keep her around for a couple more years before consider selling.

    Your observation about the rear preload/rear ride height is probably right. A few more millimeters in the rear would get more weight on the nose. Given the intended audience, that might have been intentional, although maybe a bit too conservative. There's also some speculation that the OEM-spec Michelins are contributing to the slower steering. I guess we'll see when some people change the tires. The forks are the same Showa separate-function BP units used on other bikes in the class, including the GSX-8R. How differently they've been valved/tuned isn't clear yet.

      Pretty simple. Take it to a decent shop and have them re-spring/re-valve the fork to suit your preference/weight. You can also re-spring the rear or replace the rear shock with a decent adjustable unit for not a lot of money. But, yep, it'll still cost some money. Or simply choose a bike that suits you better out of the box.
      The issue with bikes in this class is usually cost and that the suspension is a compromise to suit a broad range of riders with very limited or no adjustment. It feels like Triumph might have gone a little too conservative for newer riders here. Also, the tires can make a big difference. Don't assume that OEM-spec brand-name tires are the same exact shape/compound/construction as the ones you can buy on your own. They're usually not.
      Triumph will be offering a race/track kit through Peter Hickman Racing but I suspect that'll be a full race/track set-up and I'd doubt you can buy individual components. We'll have to see. For the average rider, I'd think that simply having the suspension reworked at reputable shop would probably make more sense.

      @@rodrigoconstantino For sure, the R has pretty good suspension (I have a '22 RS) but that would make the bike significantly more expensive. I would have liked to see preload on the fork, at least, but most of the buyers of this bike won't care much. Truth is, 90% of people never touch the suspension adjusters. But it's nice to have the ability to tweak the settings if someone wants to (and has some idea of what they're doing, because it's easy to make it worse if not).
      If you're really set on this bike, ride it stock a while, get a good idea of what you're feeling and what you'd want improved, and take some descriptive notes. Maybe you'll be fine with it as is. If not, then take it to a good shop and give them the feedback. Good luck, man.

    • @GripEngineering
      @GripEngineering หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ​@@ozzyg82Yeah, it is big, but that isn't necessarily good or bad. It works with chosen transmission ratios. Sprockets are already at the "shorter" end of the spectrum, so kinda limiting if you wanted to gear for even better acceleration, but I don't see that being an issue for anybody. I could see myself putting a 16T countershaft sprocket for reduced highway revs if I used it more for commuting or touring.
      My Ninja 650 has a 46T rear and I have a 43T sprocket waiting to be installed; more Sport-Touring role now that I have the Daytona.

      @Englishbikerdan I'll be honest the trident looks right but I was disappointed by the gearbox and felt the engine was capped compared to my old 675 I enjoyed having longer gears and higher reving engine for the flexibility to ride it in the different manors of how I felt. The trident did feel like it suited more of a relaxed style of riding to me💁‍♂️

    Bit disappointed about the wind blast / noise. Was keen to part ex my street triple due to wind blast of a naked but this is neither sporty or a tourer by the sound of it.

    • @ApexRadius
      @ApexRadius หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You can't really judge much by the noise. There's going to be significant wind noise on any bike. That said, a replacement double-bubble screen might help some. But OEM sportbike screens/fairings don't typically provide much upper body wind protection until you get tucked in, The more aggressive riding position helps support you at speed, though. I own a first-generation Daytona 675 (stock screen) and a .22 Street Triple RS with a Puig aftermarket screen, which works pretty well. There isn't a world of difference in overall wind blast.

      @@Englishbikerdan oh Danny boy. What powered the last limited edition Daytona? The 765 from the Street Triple. Hence why I said “think Street Triple”, which is where that started from (a naked Daytona). The ONLY significant reason why Triumph has chosen the 660 platform is to make more money. It really is as simple as that. Nothing more, nothing less. As even with the limited edition of the last Daytona 765 Triumph Australia were basically giving them away in the end. It also allows them to be A2 and LAMS friendly. Again, more money for Triumph to make! Perhaps unhighlight your comment. 😂

    1. Torque to your rear tire is selected with your gear lever
    2. Put a little more viscous fork fluid in it if you want it to jackhammer your arms like a sportbike
    3. Try taking a corner hard and you'll appreciate the stability they engineered into it. Flighty bikes are fine on a racetrack where the speeds are high enough that they get harder to turn and become more stable at those speeds. This bike would become too hard to steer at those speeds and probably become a wallowy mess. It's designed to ride at road speeds where it is undoubtedly far superior to real sportbikes.
