- A short video review of the 2015 Triumph Daytona 675R on the twisty back roads near San Diego, CA. This is my first time doing a video talking to the camera so my apologies for not being great at it, feel free to mute the middle part of the video. ;)

I can tell you know that road well, man. Nice riding!
A lot of professional reviewers find it difficult to keep the flow of the content natural and relevant. You have a knack for it. Enjoyed watching your videos. Subscribing to your channel!
Thank you! It is pretty difficult to ride at a brisk pace and still talk without it turning to absolute gibberish. ;)
This video was amazing. The quality of the content is great. Very well put together my man
Thank you! Lots more coming soon, and always looking to improve!
Hands down one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam. The sense of speed you nailed, the colors are vivid and amazing, feels like I'm rocking a tinted visor and going balls out. The way you explained the bike and still kept going is impressive. Top notch work dude.
Thank you!!
Probably the best motovlogging review on any bike out there! If you'll be doing more videos with this excellent level of technical explanations, this channel will really flourish. Keep the reviews raining!
Thanks for the kind words. More reviews in the works, videos coming soon!
Just like the comment below me said, great review and commentary, as well as editing skills! Subbed!
Thanks!
+jjdd ishere It would really depend on the skill of the rider. Any 1000 is going to have a big power advantage in a straight line, the BMW has easily 60-70hp more than the 675R. The Daytona is certainly lighter and more agile in tight corners than a 1000 though. At track days, skilled riders on 600s are often faster than other less skilled riders on 1000s.
I watched, subscribed, liked and put it in my playlist the first time i saw it. This is an excellent, straight to the point video review. Awesome!
The 2017 has 128bph, which gives it (dry) a better weight-to-power ratio than a: Bugatti Veyron, Pagani Zonda, or a ZX-14R.
superb
Finally! A good review with fast, noisy, fun to watch footage, usually it's a little bit of spirited riding with no commentary, and then all the facts and commentary whilst cruising around boring roads, you've hit the nail on the head, subbed
Thanks for the feedback!
Nice review on the 675r. I find if I sit back on the seat my knees line up good with the tank cut outs and tech spec grips. Especially in full tuck position. These are great motorcycles and he nailed pretty much all the key points of this model. I wouldn't borrow anyone's bike though, but I had to learn the hard way with that....:/
Who are these ppl lending their bikes out? I barely am ok w/ giving it to the mechanic. No one touches my bike. 17 Daytona 675R White. Ive laid the smack down on 1000's on the street and the track with it. Love it dearly.
you should really consider applying at one of the major networks, hands down best review I've ever watched very fluid riding with very good explanation of why the bike does what it does, seriously i want a 675r now and I've been looking at a used 2014 zx10r, definitely subbed now!
Thank you!!
Up to now I watched two of your videos (the r1 is the other one) and I really like them. You have a great way of telling a story. *subscribed*
Woah, first video of yours I love seen, and the editing looks beautiful, man! Nicely tuned and the vignette adds a nice touch, maybe lower it a bit so it's more subtle, but still better looking than any other motovlogger! Don't stop making content brother, just subscribed haha
Thank you! Lots more content coming soon! I have a bunch of videos in the works right now.
Great video. You are higher quality content that some of the most popular TH-camrs. Keep it up and thanks for the amazing review. I'm looking to get one of these in the next few months and this just persuaded me even more!
Excellent ride-on video and great quality as always.
Oh and I remember the turn at 7:00 where u met a van/pickup truck reversing down the road in another of your video.
I hope u gets more Subs. Keep it up!
Thank you! Good eye on the corner from the other video. I'm a bit gun shy there now with the driveways and such, but to be honest the whole road is littered with driveways and requires a bit of extra caution.
I'm 67 now. But when I was younger I raced a bone stock 1976 Triumph T140V Bonneville in what we called cafe style back road races. I admit to removing the huge, heavy mufflers and also the seat cushion. I also installed drag bars becaus eClip-ons were to rare. She won every race from January 10th 1977 till when I parked her in September 1986 to get married and raise a family.
I ended up bringing her out again in 1992 she was 17 years old and a little clapped out. Low compression due to worn rings and leaking valve seats. I raced and won against gentlemen wearing full professional race suits while riding the new Kawasaki Ninja 1100 fuel injected bike that was speed limited to 179 mph. Accelerating up to that limiter she was a beast. But she lost to the handling on my Bonneville. Also a Honda V1000 Interceptor fell to my Triumph. I still have my Triumph and she is 20 feet from me as I type this.
I still ride. In fact I am riding my cruisers cafe style as in left hand on the front downtube and crouching under the wind and removing the seat to sit lower. They handle twice as good but are 300-450 lbs to heavy for the job at hand. Which is back raoa corner carving with short straights.
I am interested in the Daytona 675R mostly because of its weight, and handling. I have a question. At speeds between 35 and 45 mph does she have enough torque to steer with the throttle in the curves? That's my method. I close the throttle to drop into the curve and if I over do it I just roll on the throttle to pick her up again. I don't move a muscle. I sit still and steer with the throttle. Well I am already hanging off a bit. My 750 cc Twin had enough torque to do this and along with the factory 4030 chromoly frame that never flexed -she never lost. I practiced all the time. I never cut anyone off. My belief is if you can win against her and me then I must allow that. It is irresponsibly poor sportsmanship to do nasty things just to claim a victory. No one ever won. They all got to read the "Triumph" logo printed in gold on the back of the seat cover. I only removed the cushion.
So what do you think, does the 675R have enough torque at those speeds? BTW my T140V was 395 lbs stock and after I removed the huge exhaust canisters and blinkers and seat she was around 365 lbs wet.
I would go with the new Thruxton but they are around 438 lbs wet. Too heavy in my opinion. But it would have the ooomph to throttle steer.
Don't make me take out my 1976 Bonneville again. It would entail hours of work to get the compression up. I can do that. But I accept the possibility that the 2017/2018 motorcycles should be faster on a back road. Not 100% convinced though. So maybe I will need to work on my engine and bring her out in the sunshine and let her breath deep and run for the win. In truth I would need to replace every rubber grommet on the shocks because they are all dry rotted. Yes, of course I have new replacement parts in 3 boxes and a workshop manual and many tools. I forgot to purchase rings and valves and valve springs cause I though what I had would last forever. BTW I beat the fuck out of her when racing. It was always do or die. No holding back. She never blew up. I stopped raing her because the nigh she beat that Kaw 1100 Ninja and he was overheard to say he hit 179 mph in our race, well him and a few fucks decided to mess with my Bonneville. They loosened a nut on the long bolt under the engine that held it in place. That allowed the engine to shift around while racing and I broke a frame triangular gusset going home that night. Also the loose rear footpeg vibrated off and caught inside the chain and rear sprocket breaking a tooth. That's what made the engine twist in the frame enough to crack the engine mounting plate in half. The frame plate is chrome moly so I did not trust anyone to weld her up. I can purchase that gusset/frame/plate for around $75. That is the real problem, if I replace that she is good to go without any engine work (just won't be as fast as she was). Lastly I broke my hips (again) in a Honda Aero crash and broke my right tibia and fibula in 8 places so I have a rod and 5 bolts in that leg. I am kind of afraid to kick start my Bonneville. Once (and only once) in all her years she kicked back. But Once is enough, if she ever did that and with my leg the way it is. Well I would not want to be me if that happened. What happened was my boot slipped off the kick starter and that's how I got hurt (for 10 min of pain). But if that happened now I will say again "I would not want to be me". I could use my left leg to kick start her. She is kick start only. So there is indeed a work around for every problem she has.
Still a grey bearded man racing kids on a 41 year old motorcycle just looks so stupid!
-Peter
I always enjoyed talking to other riders who spent good amounts of money to hop up their bike and still lost to my Triumph which I did not spend a penny on parts. Wait I'm wrong, the drag bars cost me $20.
Oh, forgot those same fucks loosened the bolts that held the drag bars in place. When I got home most of them were missing! I used black electricians tape to firmly attach the bars. The tape is still holding them on. Never bothered to purchase new nuts and bolts for the bars. Because with my style I do not use that much leverage on the bars anyway. I hang off and push with my knee on the gas tank toward the direction I want the bike to go. I do a lot of dancing on the pegs! My method is a sure way not to ever have a head shake or speed wobble. When you counter steer using the bars you are torquing the front wheel a little. If you hit a bump with the wheels out of true, that's going to shake the entire machine at speed. I always kept the width of my front tire as my line in a curve. That's why she never lost.
Nice review! Useful final comments re: liter bikes and track time. And no stupid house "music". Thanks for posting!
Thank you!
You deserve waaaaaay more sub's. Amazing riding. Which road is this? Headed to Julian?
Thank you! It's a mix of roads, but yeah heading towards/around Julian. Highland Valley Rd, Old Julian Hwy, Sunrise Hwy, etc.
first video i have seen of urs and gotta say i am now a new subscriber really like the way u vlog u keeo it interesting
Thanks! Lots more videos coming soon!
wow, an intelligent vlogger.... and the litre vs. supersport question is well addressed here.... the litres are frustrating in the ways that 991 Porsche Turbo S, ferrari 488, Z06, etc, are. Actually, the Porsche is a decent GT car and touring cars/bikes benefit in unique ways from big power - ways that dont necc. require even using it but that have more to do with the engine overall characteristics, like being very 'long legged' for example...... But for 1000cbr's and corvette z06's, there are no street or even highway conditions in which you can use the performance in a way that actually brings your own skill, or even the car's abilities, into the equation. A quick pull doesn't count and even those.... few and far between. I've come to realise that if you want to enjoy motoring and develop as a driver that you need more suspension and less engine. This is such a profound truism that it stretches across the full motoring gamut. It is as true in auto street circuits and F1 tracks as it is for 4-wheel rock crawling and two-wheeled track or street riding, but manufacturers give us the reverse in almost every single example you can think of - mostly because we don't really understand this and because we think it's easier to add aftermarket handling performance than engine power performance. However true this might have been in the past I would argue that it is not the case today. Regardless, it's so much more fun to be close to using the full powerband all the time so long as your skill and suspension support it - which is another important point - you will become a better driver/racer in this scenario and as a result of this very fulfilling experience, have more fun. You'll also break fewer parts. Of course, competitively, all of this is not strictly true, I understand, but I hope the point is interesting enough to stay lodged in people's cranium so the next time it comes up you think, "hmmmm, I've heard that twice now".... thanks for the great look at this bike. I'm really interested in supersports, and big torque too, but for torque I like the touring version of the KTM super duke 1290. What a ridiculous sentence - a "touring version" of the Duke? Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and he's built me the perfect touring bike, although it turns out his name is der Weihnachtsmann. Now that I'm in my early 40s the greatest thing about big power is simply knowing it's there, but hardly ever using it. It's perverse, I know, but the not using it part really is critical to the pleasure. Probably Americans can relate when they think of the arsenal they have backing them up. You know that the reality of having to use it would be very, very ugly. Yet you're comforted knowing If things ever got nuts you wont have to rely totally on diplomatic falderal, you could always just test one of your own ICBMs, then destroy it mid-flight with an airborne missile-killing laser mounted in the nose of an Air Force 747. Look, I never said it was a rational way of thinking, just a powerfully seductive, inherently dangerous one (or at least I did now). But the 'sewing machine on crack' sensation also holds seductive power over me so I'd like to have a fully faired 600 that will get me actually dragging a knee one day, then itself go ballistic - singing away at 15k revs. Since it'd be a toy I have no issues buying a used 3 year old bike, but I'm leaning straight 4 instead of the Daytona triple. thnx again, really great stuff.
The tank cut outs are perfect for my 34" inseam. I could see how it could be an issue for a shorter rider though.
Do you add any post processing to your videos by any chance? the colors look so rich, it's almost cinematic. Tremendous video. Subbed!
Thanks for the comments! I did a little bit of color grading in post, mostly on the GoPro clips in the intro. Everything else was just a quick levels adjustment and minor color correction in Adobe Premiere.
Absolutely unreal scenery and video quality. Guys like me considering the Daytona prefer you talk your head off over listening to nothing for 15 minutes. Tell us everything you possibly can about the bike!! Cheers!
Subscribed! Nice quality man, keep it going!
The sound on those flybys tho!
I've got another video coming soon of just the flybys and such too. :)
great quality video. I'm surprised you don't have more subs. you have 1 more.
SUPER video, especially the beginning! What camera and mike do you use, I cannot get that clean sound on my Drift Ghost-S is crap. BTW, I own 2014 Daytona non-R (amongst others, I have superbike as well) but with quickshifter and I love it. I only ride it in alpine hairpins (I am based in Switzerland). :-)
Is that your wife at the end of the video riding passenger on the back of Daytona? :-) She is fun!
Thanks! ;) For the on-board video portions I'm using a GoPro Hero 4 Black with my Sena 20S helmet communicator and Sena GoPro Bluetooth backpack. That is my wife at the end of the video ahead of me on her Street Triple. With the Sena GoPro setup you can record the voices of anyone the helmet communicator is connected to as well. Enjoy the bike and those amazing alpine roads!!
Thank you.
I gotta get me that Sena 20S. Though I do not know who I would talk to, my girl, unfortunately, decided to give up biking. :-( Women on bikes = awesome, congratulations!
I enjoy all my bikes, even my 2002 CBR600F, after gearing change and suspension upgrade it still has it. Daytona is just so much more modern. The 1000cc machines are great as well, I have those as well, and tried most of them (S1000RR, RSV4 Factory, new R1, 1299S Panigale, etc, also F3 800, 899 Panigale, CBR1000RR with full Bazzaz) but the supersports are still the most fun to ride in the twisties, because they are easier, and, as you said, one can use the rev range so much more. Therefore, I found you video the best so far, the riding is good, the scenery is breathtaking, the sound is crisp, the bike is magnificent, what you say agrees with my experience, the woman on a bike is awesome...I put this video on my personal blog. Best Wishes!
Where are these roads you were bombing? Asking for a friend new to SD ;)
Hey man, great video! Daytona is such a great experience, cheers from India!
LOVED THE REVIEW...GREETINGS FROM INDIA.
Thank you!
awesome, Do you like this more or 6R?
I have an 08 Street Triple and the knee pads are just right. (I'm also 5' 10".) I have noticed that I have started sitting closer to the tank so perhaps that is it -- if you scoot back your knees go lower.
Good advice!
Looking forward to a review of the 2019 Triumph Dayton. Peak power on RS Speed Track(Street) Triple at 8RPM plus ruins it as a road bike for me. Hooligan days long gone. Hope Triumph haven't ruined Dayton. Comparo with 2019 CBR500R would be good.
nice sound and performance. I love this bike
This is the first video that I have seen someone actually give a bike gas, you never see a bike rev up so quick unless your on it yourself and actually give it gas. My fucking ninja 400 power wheelies stock in first gear, i swear it revs up in first like its in neutral
What do you use to record your video ? The video quality is stunning !!!
GoPro Hero4 for the on-board and a Sony NEX-5R for everything else.
great vid. is this in 60fps? looks like it is, but youtube doesn't show that it is 60fps?
Thanks! It's 30fps. The slowmo in some of the slider shots was originally 60fps but slowed down to match the GoPro and other clips all at 30fps.
Interests which oil you change in your 2015 ,675r ? Thanks because I have a 2016 and I change motul v300 10w40 when I start I have a problem with cam chain tensioner just a 2 sec rattel
Awesome bro where is all this at? Love the ocean view and the twisty 🤘🏻San Diego area?
This will most likely be my next bike.
You'll love it! Ride safe and have fun!!
nice review... but why does he sound similiar to levelcap?
idk thats the thing about sports bikes that i found, if they feel light and flickable they are going to feel unstable and twitchy in corners and if its heavy steering then its going to be more stable in corners. my 2007 gsxr 600 feels pretty heavy but in corners especially low speed ones it feels really stable and that i can carry more speed thru the corner than i could on a bike that steers quicker and is lighter. the only thing i would have to do is just muscle the bike into the corner a bit more compared to like something ligther like the daytona or something with its weight lower down
Please don't make Statements regarding Geometry, Telemetry or Anything about 1. A Motorcycle You know Nothing about, just Presume. 2. Again Presume other Concepts that You Have no idea about.
How many Sports Bikes /Race Bikes have You Owned? 40 - 100.? If not You Also a average rider At best, Can not Scientifically Notice differences less Than a 15% Change.
In short what You just Said Regarding a Heavy or light steering, is absolutely Ridiculous, in this context. Every word used, You have taken from Something You read about & Didn't Grasp the Concept. Shut up and Practice

This or my 4th r6? Great review, love socal
What trouble did you have with your Daytona?
Amazing video of an amazing bike.. Instant subscription =D Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
I'm torn between getting an r6 or a 675r... can anyone comment to which one would be a better choice for street and fun riding? I've heard the r6 is more comfortable than the daytona and while I realize they are race bikes, if that's true and the daytona is just unbearable to use and be on then I would choose the r6. Can anyone comment on which is better?
how comfy this bike is in long rides? what is maintenance cost , is it equal to Japanese bikes ? i heard it is very hard to find parts and it stayed in the shop till they get from England ? great review . thankx
For a super sport bike it's pretty comfortable. Maintenance cost is going to be similar to Japanese bikes. Major services are every 12k miles (valve adjustment check) which I believe is the similar to other makes. I've found that parts cost is similar as well, cheaper than other European bikes for sure. Our local Triumph dealer (Rocket Motorcycles in San Diego) has been great and they keep all commonly needed parts in stock, and Triumph has a US headquarters in Georgia (I believe) so if anything needs to be ordered the wait is usually just a week at the most. I suppose if you need something that isn't in stock in the US warehouse the wait would be longer, but we haven't run into that issue so far.
thankx
where can i get that exhaust !! i cant seem to find where to buy it
For some crazy reason Akrapovic only made a few and then stopped making them.
Have you ever ridden an R6? The 675r has been kinda like my dream bike. You had me a little worried about taller people riding. I'm 6 foot 4 and I seem to fit well on my 08 r6. Really hoping to be able to get a 2012 or better 675r. Anyways, if you have ridden an R6 from 08 or up, can you think of any big differences? If not, all good, awesome video!
I think if you fit OK on the R6 then the 675R will be just fine. I believe (if the ergo specs I'm seeing online are correct) that the 675R has a taller seat height as well as a slightly longer reach to the bars, which makes me think it's a tad more roomy than the R6. I think the biggest difference you'd noticed between the R6 and Daytona is mid-range power, the R6 seems to make most of it's power very high up in the RPMs. Thanks for the kind words!
+TheFlyingGoat, can you help me out and expand on what you mean when you say your prior 675 was "mostly" reliable? A guy near me is selling his '13 675R for a pretty solid price, and I'm considering picking it up.
Also, would love to see a video from you on the S1000RR. I love that bike.
I had a few issues over the years with the old Daytona, but nothing too crazy. Stator and Regulator kicked the bucket around 35k miles, and the biggest one was my fault (for incorrectly diagnosing it). I had oil and coolant mixed (aka milkshake) which my previous experience with cars told me was a blown head gasket. So I pulled the motor and replaced the head gasket (and freshened up the head while I was at it) only to have the same exact thing happen when I fired the bike back up. It turned out that the oil-to-coolant oil cooler had a crack inside it, and that was the actual cause. The oil cooler failure isn't unheard of with those bikes, but it seems to be mostly on track bikes that run no coolant but just water and Water Wetter. Possibly without the anti-corrosion additives in regular coolant the small passages inside the cooler become weakened. Could have saved myself a lot of time and money if I hadn't diagnosed that one wrong. ;)
That's a good idea on the S1000RR video, I've ridden one at the track but would love to spend some more time on one. I have a couple friends with them... let me see what I can scheme up...
+TheFlyingGoat Hey, thanks for the response man! Would those issues stop you from owning another Daytona? It seems like they are a sweet handling bike. I like the idea of a middleweight triple.
I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. My wife has a Street Triple R that's been super reliable for us as well. There are good deals out there on 675R's now that the Daytona will soon be discontinued...
That's great to know! Thank you!
Lovely scenery! Which Super Sport would you recommend for someone upgrading from an entry ninja 300? For street riding. Need something forgiving and with abs to save my ass
The Daytona makes a great street bike since it has a good amount of midrange power, so you don't necessarily need to rev it way out to make it go (like a R6 for example). If you're looking for mostly a street bike the Street Triple is really a better bike, IMO.
Awesome review! Nice B-roll btw ;D
Thanks!
How tall are you? Thinking of getting a 675r but feel i may be to tall...
I'm 5' 10". I have a buddy over 6 foot tall with the same bike and he fits OK but it is a rather compact bike.
Would this be an OK bike for a first time mature rider?
Probably OK, a lot of people including myself started on a 600 cc sport bike without issue. The bigger thing I think is that starting on an expensive full fairing bike is nerve wracking for a new rider. Most people accidentally drop their bike at some point or another when they're learning. If you drop a used SV650 or something, the cost is probably going to be $0 or at least very cheap. If a 675R falls over when parking you're going to do hundreds or thousands of dollars in damage. Everyone is different though!
San Clemente area? Man I miss Cali!
Sorry, saw it was in San Diego.
great video man!! great review!!!
Thank you!
How would you compare it with your 2007?
The new bike feels more refined for sure, and the riding position is more relaxed (mostly the seat is a lot lower). The 2015 feels like it accelerates just as hard as my '07 but my old bike had much shorter gearing, which makes me think the '15 is making a decent bit more power. Those first gen D675s are still such good bikes and are dirt cheap nowadays!
Nice review man,,, and damn she sounds Great,,, havent had a chance to test ride one yet but next year ill definitely be rippin a 675 of some sort,,, Daytonas my dream bike but the streety has been tuggin at the heart strings lately,,,No problems sellin my Over modded CBR 6RR to Upgrade,,, Oh yeah i said it Upgrade!!! HaHa Keep Safe Goat Man.....
Thanks!
You want to get your knees where they need to be? Then reset your rear sets...
I'm buzzed after 3 "super's". LOL
Keep drinking, the commentary gets better the drunker you are. ;)
this is a good bike for comuting and travel or you recomend another one?
The Daytona is about as comfortable as most super sport bikes... which is to say not very comfortable when you're not going fast. The Street Triple is much more comfortable for commuting and long distance traveling.
I'm 6'3 and my knees ends up the same height as the tank, which is completely useless! Great Intro's BTW...
go get a BMW. That bike is designed for big Germans.
As in level with the top of the tank?
Subbed for the 'Drinking game'! Lol.
I'd love to have a Daytona 675R but DAMN! they're expensive!
For sure, definitely not cheap. The non-R model Daytona is great too though and is a couple grand cheaper. Not to mention you can find used ones with low miles. While the current model year bikes have numerous improvements that do add up to make a nice difference, these bikes have been amazing since the 675cc motor came out in 2006!
What camera do you use
Back when I shot this video I was using a Sony NEX-7, but I have since sold that and moved to a Sony A6300. The on-board stuff is shot on a GoPro Hero 4 Black.
torreypines state beach is one of my favorite spots and my google pic was taken at that beach.
Yeah it's beautiful over there, I take a somewhat round about way home from work just so I can commute past Torrey Pines every time I'm on the bike.
Yeah dude, you got a sub from me as well. I was surprised to see the low count of subs ahaha. Great job on the video man. Btw, love the bike. I wanna get it. It'll be my first bike. Buuuut, not sure if thats a good idea. I'm a cautious driver. I'd say i'm a good driver. Though i can be a bit aggressive from time to time. Ultimately, no wrecks or tickets and im 28 ahaha.
Thank you! I always like to recommend people get something they don't care about dropping for a first bike. When you're new to riding inevitably something goofy will happen and the bike will get tipped over and you will be super bummed if your $14,000 bike gets all beat up. Having said that... I started on a supersport 600 back in the day (CBR 600) and managed just fine. Came close to dropping it a time or two but got lucky I guess. ;)
Yeah, to be honest I thought about just getting a used bike. I wanted to get a 300 but I'm sort of a big guy, so idk how well that will work. might just settle for a used one for now before jumping to a brand new one ahaha.
I have never been a fan of the real small displacement bikes myself (which I know is not a popular opinion for starter bikes) as you get into situations where the bike just can't even get out of it's own way. In my opinion something like the SV650 is the perfect balance of cheapness, durability for those inevitable tip-overs, and has enough power to get away from trouble but not enough to be super intimidating for a new rider.
so, speaking of 650s, what about the Honda 650f? That was gonna be a first choice for me before the Daytona ahaha. Wasn't to sure yet on it though.
I haven't ridden one, but knowing Honda it's probably a great bike. Not sure what the used market is like for those, but $9000 for a new one seems steep. A new Daytona is only a couple grand more. The best thing about SV's as a starter bike is that they're everywhere and you can pick up a decent one for like $3000. Then once you're done learning you can turn around and sell it without losing any money.
What about as s road bike for fun 6 feet with 30 inch inseam. Sit tall in the saddle.
The newer (2013-on) Daytonas have a lower seat height than the older bikes. With a 30 inch inseam I'm sure the newer bikes would fit you just fine.
Great video, one of my dream bikes!
Have the old red 2008 version, but hell... i want to try out the new one!
Nice bike! I loved my old 2007 Daytona! It's still going strong now owned by a friend of mine!
Holy shit this is Hyland Valley Road
Do a video in Santa Barbara
sounds so bad ass
Great video nice honest review. New sub! And I most def love my 675r
Thanks for the comment. Enjoy the bike, such a great all around bike!
+TheFlyingGoat thanks definitely! My only gripe is that I don't have the skills to push it to its limits

thanks sigdude ☺
but you mean rzx or daytona btw? Hahaha...
I've been riding a Yamaha RZX 135 smoker in taiwan for a while now. Also a fucking amazing bike for different reasons haha. Also had my first crash on that 2 days ago 😢
that my womans fav beach 🌴 awsome ride but that roads full of pot holes
Great video. Just made me a subscriber. 👍🏾
Good as a first bike? Lol I want thissss
The Daytona wouldn't be a terrible first bike, though expensive if/when you happen to drop it. I usually recommend something cheap and easy to fix for a first bike. Everybody is different though, some people drop their first bike a bunch of times and others never do.
TheFlyingGoat thanks for advice, would u recommend an fz07 as a good starter bike?
Yeah for sure, that would be a great first bike.
This bike is awesome! I ride a 2015 also, love it. Check out my channel!

And don't forget the couple of extra "super's" the goat chucks in at the end almost like a night cap.
you sound like your a triumph fan so when you say its a great bike .... its a great bike in comparison to what ?????
I am certainly a Triumph fan after owning a couple and putting lots of miles on them, but I've owned many bikes over the years. I've owned Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Ducati, and Aprilia. I've ridden quite a few bikes other than the ones I've owned as well, so I've had seat time on Kawasakis, KTM, and BMWs as well.
ok I respect that then. sometimes I see certain guys that stick to one brand of bike and refuse to ride anything else, then act like there choice is the choice of GOD.......cough, cough, Harley riders, cough cough. I'm a Kawasaki guy and own a zx10r. definitely not the most comfortable but its my favorite. I'm interested to see what that 675r rides like in comparison to my 636 I once owned. check out some on my videos if youd like and I appreciate your honest review and answer
ZX10 is a beast! Enjoy the ride and thanks for the comments.
