Petition to start calling the GSX-8R the gixxerater
Noted and approved.
Seconded
He actually did😂
It’s ok Yammie. We know the design is kinda disappointing
I think the design is the least of our conern
I liked it lol
It isn't bad. But since people compare it to the literal aesthetic peak in motorcycle styling that was earlier Daytona, yeah it's going to be disappointing.
It's really just the headlights, they definitely could've made them smaller
What a poor shadow of a Daytona that is…..😢
No bug eyes with a more reasonable bar height including triple at a decent price sounds good.
I'm 27, but my back hurts, all I want is a vfr800 with 150hp that weighs less than 500lbs.
Does the Daytona triangle look like alot of weight on the wrists?
I mean neither is a glorious V4 but the Ducati Supersport and the new 2023+ GSXS 1000/GT are both absolutely phenomenal for your needs.
Suzuki seriously knocked it out of the park and deserve all the awards the GSXS got.
Okay, as a previous owner of street triple 675( 13) and RS ( 2018) and even a 2020 Daytona Moto2 and current owner of a Tiger 660 sport , I think that once you put aside the pointless comparison to previous, the new Daytona 660 on its own merits and especially in its class, the bike is right move for Triumph. Performance is quite good for real world sport riding without the unnecessary riding position. The price point is outstanding. And since I’m old enough ( 54) to remember ( and have owned ) 90’s “ supersports” i.e. -cbrf2/f3, zx6 , this package is reminiscent of those wonderfully flexible bikes that sold in tons and did everything from race on Sundays in large AMA classes, tour across country, and blast on weekends. Get one Yammi and develop some content( first ride, comparisons, track, add some mods ) culminating in a giveaway. 🎉
My F3 was the benchmark for shopping for bikes as all I wanted was it's power to weight in a package that didn't cause me agony after a few hours. I love this thing on paper
Triumph asked for the comparison by slapping the name Daytona on it… I don’t think anything would have been lost by naming it something else… like the ‘Talladega’
/kidding about the Triumph Talladega 660, but serious about something other than the established Daytona being better for the bike’s launch
@@SongJLikes I would agree with the Daytona name issue .. though Yamaha did as such with the R7 moniker and despite the early disappointment when comparing to early 2000’s R7 Yamaha has sold them in numbers that they would not otherwise if it was a real supersport performance wise and more importantly price wise . The sales will show if this was the right move .
Agree completely. Already pretty tired of the butthurt fanboys with no concept of the current market.
it may make sense in the sales world but the name that doesn't fit. Its like the electric mustang ford put out - no one looks at that atrocity and thinks - mustang. Yamster was right. Name it a sprint or something else
Ergonomically, it's nice to see street intended middleweight sporty-ish bikes moving away from the fullly committed race replica riding position. My FZR 600 from back in the day was pretty comfortable to ride all day(of course that was 30 years ago, so who knows).
Personally I am happy that this new Daytona doesn't have back breaking racing ergonomics. I have had enough of companies putting out race bikes for the street that are uncomfortable as could be. and I hope to see more sport bikes that are made for street riding instead of the track. but I was hoping for a 765 RS with a full fairing and maybe a few more HP. but with the same ergonomics.
Not only that but affordable insurance
If this bike came out last year before I knew anything about Triumph's history with the Daytona when I was bike shopping I would own one right now. I'm happy with my street triple, but when I rode the Trident all I really wanted was another 15 horsepower and sporty looks. Price point and specs were exactly what I was looking for last year. I bet they sell well.
@@Wolvmarine The entire market right now is selling mid range, torquey sport bikes that have a riding position tight enough for track days while being just a little more relaxed for daily riding.
There's a ridiculous amount of market research that goes into this stuff, if every single company is selling this spec sport bike and naked bike and they're flying out of dealerships clearly people want them
The only argument here is whether or not it should've been called a Daytona
@@BlokHed75 and actual Triumph enthusiasts will point out that the Daytona name had been put on all sorts of bikes before in the long history of Triumph, like the really fat and kinda ugly sports tourer the Daytona 955 or a classic naked Daytona T100R and Daytona 500. The previous Daytona 675 supersports people latching onto so dearly is merely one of the many and so is the Daytona 660, and neither "owns" the Daytona name.
@@nanaholic01 "really fat and kinda ugly sports tourer the Daytona 955"
The Daytona T595/955i at its time was Triumph's sportiest bike, even though it was much heavier and less powerful than contemporary sportbikes like the Yamaha R1. Now, the contemporary 2024 "Street" Triple makes more power and is better equipped than the contemporary 2024 "Daytona". That's a downgrade. Standalone, if we ignore the name/brand, the new Daytona 660 aka Sprint 660 aka Trident 660 RS isn't a bad bike at all, it's probably the best in class if we leave aside the 100hp of the Aprilia RS660.
"or a classic naked Daytona T100R and Daytona 500."
Which again were the sportiest bikes in their era. Yamaha's Thundercat/Thunderace 600/1000 duo and Honda's CBR600F/1000F were at one time the sportiest bikes in their range at that time, yet became sport-tourers once superseded by the even sportier R1/R6 and CBR600RR/Fireblade range. So yes, the Daytona name should be reserved for the sportiest motorcycle Triumph has at the time. Just like Kawasaki diluted the Ninja branding and Yamaha diluted the R branding with the new R7, Triumph has diluted the Daytona brand by making it more for the mass appeal/price.
Also in interviews past, Triumph has said there would no new Daytona ...and then does a 180 and launch this.
@@BlokHed75 There is a reason bikes like the CBR600F are still loved to this day.
I still own an F4.
I might be completely wrong, but hear me out. The Daytona 660 actually gives me hope for Triumph's future bikes. What if they're already working on a Daytona 765 R/RS based on the Striple chassis?
Don't think they'd use a name like that for a sport tourer when they've already got a serious supersport in the pipeline.
Or you're right and Triumph is planning to pull a "Ninja", now that name's on everything from a beginner bike to sporty commuter to a sport tourer and finally track bred supersport
Doubt it
They're not. It would take sales away from the 660. It makes no business sense
@@davidvitan3590 how? If they squeeze more power out of it compared to the Street Triple 765, like they did with the Daytona 660 compared to the Trident, and make it more track oriented like the Daytona 675 was, then the two bikes will in no way be competing. That's like saying the ZX-6R steals sales from the Ninja 650. They're two completely different bikes that serve two different purposes.
@@AdeptusAmogus The Ninja 650 and ZX6R don't share essentially the same engine. Together with the Street Triple S, R and RS, they would then have three bikes that share essentially the same engine and a very similar audience...
Also, how many ZX6Rs does Kawa sell these days do you think? It's not many. Just like every other 600 sportbike, that market is completely dead in most parts of the world. It simply makes no business sense for Triumph to build a focused Daytona, UNLESS it's a 1000
Unpopular opinion but I like where it's going with sport bikes. I want that cool look but comfort. I hope yamaha makes a bike with the ergos of a rs660. I hate the ergos of the r7 but it looks cool as hell to me
Fully agreed, I think the biggest issue people are having is that they are using known platforms (like the Daytona) to push something arguably quite different from the brand. I personally like this Daytona so far, but I understand the many people that don't
I don't think your opinion is unpopular. Triumph has a better take on the current market that all of the raging 765 fanboys combined. This is a bike that will sell. A fully committed track oriented bike would not sell nearly as well.
We gotta accept it Yam, that feeling is really what i had when the new gen of ducati monster released. Yep they look mordern, make good a mount of power and feel way smoother with more electric stuff. Though I still missed the pure and rough riding experience when every single vibration delivered to my hand, the old frame of the monster lineup is still something that is so captivated.
Triumph should have put fairings on the Street Triple 765. It's a better sport bike and closer to the Daytona that was. And the Street Triple is what $700 more than this Daytona 660
Is that a royal Enfield puffer jacket???
I knew it, I've seen it on Sid Lal for the Himalayan 450 unveil
Freebee
and not a single time was the CBR650R, the closest compeditor, mentioned
Give me a sec here. Adjustable front fork internals, a good shock and some good rubber is all that bike will ever need for a track day the majority of the riders will be able to enjoy, staying safe. The added daily nature of the bike will keep it rideable outside of the track and boost the usability/smiles per gallon overall. Yes it isn't as razor sharp as the Daytona 675/r but it should be no slouch either. Smart move from Triumph. Should be followed by a Daytona 765 RS in the future for us hardcore triple fans.
you'll still be way slower and less sportier than base street triple R even with this upgrades, for the same price
@@maximborodyuk3773 not everyone wants to ride a potential hooligan and certainly not everyone can. The Daytona is as yammie said to cut of the market pie of people going for R7's and Aprilia 660's, mostly newer-younger riders (who mostly ride on the street). I never said anybody will buy it for track use only
@@dimitristoufekoulas9960 it's not like street triple is some crazy wheelie machine, it's very tame 120hp bike.
And the problem is not in needness, but with closeness in price.
You get steel swingarm and cheap frame for 9,2 grand...
120hp doesn't sound tame to me, my bike has 60hp and seems plenty fast lol@@maximborodyuk3773
This bike was designed to cover the A2 license in Europe (95hp max. to be able to be limited to 47hp) so it's not a real Daytona, just a competitor for the R7, RS660, CBR650R...
Imo eu is ruining motorcycles. Which is funny considering how popular they are in the eu and motogp. But these shit emission laws and forced license restrictions are just ruining it for us in the US 👎
@@triyo1089we know man and we hate it too but sadly the politics wont change in the eu 😕greetings from germany
@@triyo1089It's not just the EU, also Japan, and any other country with emission regs, what's the point of making a motorcycle if you can't sell it in the vast majority of countries?
@@BlueNades1 all i said was they’re ruining it for the rest of us
@@triyo1089 How? If you want an R6, just go buy a used one, no one was buying them new anyways, which is one of the main reasons they didn't bother updating it to be euro 5 compliant, there just weren't that many people buying NEW sportbikes because it's usually a terrible deal.
After riding a trident i was hoping for a fully faired version, i definitely want get on this
4:35 As someone who’s in that “new generation” you’re talking about, i still completely agree with you.
makes me sad since we’re still old enough to remember the prime daytona years, and now that we’re old enough to afford bikes we get stuck with stuff like this. makes us sad too
I was really hoping for a fukly faired STriple, but this is still pretty sweet. It’s strange to see Yam rave about the RS660, then neg on this very similar bike.
Triumph may have taken the decision not to use the aggressive position after sales drop and then discontinuing the Thruxton because of the unpopular clip-ons which make riders uncomfortable after a while, and instead gave it a more relaxing position for a wider range of customers. But then you made a valid point that it should be called something else and not a Daytona.
The name is chosen purely for marketing reasons
i wish they would make a standard 765 street triple with revised fairings and clip ons ... .
Can't wait for a r9 review. Great review btw
R7s keep flying off the shelves because they look amazing. CBR650Rs are also pretty good looking. I wish other manufacturers took note.
CF-MOTO seems to understand this, now we just need MV Agusta and that KTM partnership to lead to a competing middle weight triple that actually has a dealership network!
I feel like channels like this killed the 600 super sport class with the narrative that naked bikes like the MT 07 parallel twin are “better for the road” or “uncomfortable” (get in shape) and now want to complain about the 600 super sport market being trash. Of course it would be if for 5-6 year you bash it and now motorcycle companies follow suit and create what you said you wanted but actually didn’t.
It'll be fantastic, but I want a Yellow 765 Daytona to sit next to my Street Triple.
I like it. Cant wait to see it in person.
I absolutely loved my RS660 but I'm really intrigued with Triumph. My speedmaster cruiser is awesome and i've just come to love Triumph
There's nothing wrong with this bike. It's great, Daytona is what they're calling their full faired sport bikes (no sprint anymore). The 660 motor getting 93hp is EXCELLENT when the Honda 650 gets 94hp (euro 5, us is less). If this sells we MIGHT actually get a bigger Daytona again, who knows
Maybe it's just me, but I think this bike would look so much better as a naked bike. Seeing that side profile, if they stripped off the fairings and gave it a nice round LED headlight I think it would give the SV650 and the MT07 some serious competition in the naked middleweight category.
Back in the day, as a new rider going through their lifecycle of skill improvement, you got a GREAT beginner bike (R3) and then you upgrade to a GREAT supersport (R6). Seems like the new rider market is opting fore an OKAY/GOOD mid-range between the two and just sticking with that as their main ride.
I went to the unveiling, and the whole room was crowded around to see its sheet off. You could hear laughter from the old guys when it came off 😂 at least the beer was free 🎉
Whether we like it or not, this is where the middleweight sports bike market is at right now, soft road focused sporty bikes as opposed to true supersports bikes. As for the use of the Daytona name, I get the frustration but I'm indifferent to it personally. The re-use of the R7 name is much more of a travesty than this. People also have short memories as there are many different incarnations of the Daytona & it could be almost anything so it's not just about the 675 supersport.
I ride an MT09, never ridden a supersport bike, but this bike looks very appealing to me. Somedays I wish the MT09 had more fairings and was a bit more sporty, but I also don't really have interest on a supersport that is too "sporty" for street ridding. This seems like a good middle ground between a naked upright and a supersport.
What do you think a full exhaust and a tune will open up on it also.
That Enfield Jacket 💯😏
There will always be a niche for supersports, but niches are small, it doesn't make sense for every manufacturer to all make bikes that are essentially very similar only to sell a very small number of those. A few middleweight supersports will keep on existing, but it makes sense to also have these more road oriented options around
Do u think which one is better honda cbr 650R or daytona 660 ??
There are 2 different ways to think about a sportbike. One is you have a nice looking bike and are having fun, the other is a race machine that make take many years of progression to master if ever at all. Talking about twisties here. I am sure this new crop of parallel twin bikes are fun, and I am sure there is plenty of learning to be had, but does the progression peter out after a while? This new Daytona with the higher HP and Rev limit seems to get closer to a traditional SS, but it still weighs a lot more. My main interest is cornering, I figure the race machines do this best, so that is why I have stuck with them. Plus, the noise an I-4 makes is very intoxicating, that alone is a good reason opt for a full on SSport.
Hope to see a review on the Daytona/Zontes GK350. Would love to know your opinion on it.
People forgot the old T300 Daytona's (750/1000/900/1200). This new 660 is a back to origjns.
Funny how I never rode a Triumph. Loved the nekkid srad giggy 750 I had. Also remember a Bandit 1200 I owned. Don't recall the X-9 I was on when my wife rear-ended me in her Accord on 9-7-07. Driving once again, but my "shifter" dont work anymore. Love the content Noob
Hey Yammie, could you make a video about the best used old motorcycles for people who want to start riding but don’t have a lot to spend on it?
I mean those are usually done to death and you just get rehashes of the same bikes with 90% saying just buy a used SV-650 or FZ-07 if you want something to last.
Though a personal sleeper recommendation I like to give is the Yamaha FZ6R which runs a detuned version of the FZ6 engine Yammie mentioned in this video which itself is a detuned R6 engine.
So you get a mid-sized bike making a nice 78hp and 44lbs of torque while still being unique in the "beginner" category by being an i4.
It's essentially a slightly less spicy CBR650R and they can be found for DIRT cheap.
Then if you're not a sportbike guy another oddball pick of mine is the Moto Guzzi V7. Which is a cool quirky air-cooled transverse V-Twin classic standard and some years even had limited run scrambler or cafe racer variants.
The V7 Gen II starts in 2014 and added traction control and ABS while 2016+ gets a much smoother six-speed vs the old five-speed gear box.
They make the standard 50hp of a true beginner bike but have a hefty 40lb of torque while having a classic dry clutch like high end Ducati's, yes it's meant to sound like silverware in a laundry machine.
They're also probably the easiest bike to work on and repair of the past two decades.
Would like to see Daytona 660 vs RS 660 comparison video from any TH-camr.
I saw that bike and was waiting AGGRESSIVELY for papa yams thoughts lol
Still waiting on yammie to do something with the new triumph 400s lol
Plus the after market will take over and you will get rear sets and lower clip on with some other stuff.
I'm new to motorcycling so I didn't care about the Daytona 675, and I had a lot of fun test riding a Trident 660.
This new Daytona 660 sounds like exactly what I'd want if I had the budget to buy a new motorcycle and wanted something to take to track days, but still have lots of fun on the street. And I love the high revving 3 cylinder engines. The Trident 660 would probably be the main rival, as I like the naked bike ergonomics and currently ride a cruiser.
I'll be keeping an eye on the used market for these bikes.
Well balanced view. I have the Daytona 600 and the Daytona 765 Moto 2 (and the Street Triple Moto 2!). I understand that change can be challenging. I think the history of the Daytona name shows that Daytona has meant many different things over time. Could it mean this too? I think it can...but time will tell! 👍
This is not a Yamaha video but I just hope they will do a complete overhaul to their lineup next year, they are under delivering this year.
I absolutely love it. A fully committed track oriented sport bike is not something I would buy.
Daytona 660 RS with Brembo brakes, Ohlins suspension and 15 more HPs would be dooooooooope....
We need Brah to get his hands on all these new middle weights.
I don't have a problem with the bike. I have a problem with what they called it.
I knew you were gonna hate this, fricking faired Trident!
I still want you to actually ride the Nightster, especially now that it's down to $11,999 and properly priced with the 900cc crowd...
I really like it, but I'll probably get the Tiger Sport 660 because I have a 34" in seam, and I like the taller wind screen
Honestly if you're going the Tiger route just jump straight for the 900. The 660 isn't a true Tiger and more just a tourer.
As an enamored owner of a Daytona 675R, I have to admit, everything you say is true
I own a 2015 Daytona 675R . For local roads and odd track day .
Me like meany other rider don’t want a 1000cc but running out of old mid range sport bikes .bit disappointed didn’t put street 765RS in a fairing and a few power tweaks .
At this price point its almost a grand cheaper then the CBR650R looks hilariously similar as well, though the CBR i believe gets a bit of suspension adjustability in it, along with a TFT if memory serves its about 13lbs heavier then the 660 and the GSX-8R is about 10lbs heavier then the 660 and ten less ponies. So from my point of view if you're looking for a fully fared sportier upright bike you're basically shopping for sound design right now do you like the 270 twin? the tripple or the 4 banger thats the one you're going for basically. I personally wouldnt put the R7 in this line up just because its now so underpowered compared to the competition especially with it weighing probably 430-440lbs (could only find dry weight so added the usual wet weight figures) you know you're right there weight of the comp but no power to back it up
The Royal Enfield puffer is hilarious...
If someone makes a nice looking set of track plastics (all pointy and shit) it might make a fun track bike and have the same look and feel that we’d all probably prefer.
It has a great price point, and imo is the right move for Triumph. As othes have said we can tear it apart comparing it to Daytona's of past. However as a bike on its own Merits, it looks like it ticks alot of boxes. I do think R7's are getting abit too harsh on some criticisms, yes R7 may be lower on the Horsepower spectrums, but I believe its the only bike when compared to all these new ones that actually has fully adjustable suspension/rebound/shock etc.
I know The New Gixxer 8R is out, but Suzuki once upon a time, had this area already nailed down with the 750R's.
I'm really hoping they invest more in the trident line and make a more powerful version maybe use the 765 engine
Simple fact… Triumph will sell way more of these than they would a more race bred Daytona. Triumph is ultimately in the business of selling motorcycles, and making profit.
One note on the original F4I 2001-2003.. that was a true supersport with a 14,200 rpm. The FSport model was literally the predecessor to the RR. These new "F" bikes are not that anymore. Which is fine, as long as I can still buy a proper supersport.
I love the old Daytona 675 R more than this new version and it’s my dream to get a daytona 675R
My 76 rd400 has a Daytona head on it 😎. It’s all freshly rebuilt. Cdi, new Moto gp pipes. Very fun to ride
You mentioned the FZ6. Kawasaki have a great opportunity to release a 636 inline 4 street bike now.
I miss my old FZ6
Butttttttt this does look super tempting.
I agree, that its not the design I would imagined and remember from the awesome 600er when I started riding in the mid 2000s. But if I blink over to cars and hear Mustang Mach E and see it....I think this is tottally acceptable.
Should I wait for this or get the Trident?
I think Triumph offers a bling brake reservoir as an option. And there’s rumor of a third party making a sport kit for the bike.
So there was mentions of race kits in some of the articles I read about this bike. What do you think that kit consist of?
Also, I plan on test riding one. I have a TS660 and a street triple 675 and I anxious to see what this will ride like.
Sportsbike sales are down so this bike makes total sense.
Pls can u make a video on sporty looking 50cc bikes for the euro AM riders
Thank you:)
This is what the original trident motor should have been. Now put this in the trident, give us a 110-120hp RS version of each and TAKE. MY. CREAMING. MONEY.
Yes, hardly anyone needs a bike like Daytona with super intimidating seating,,THAT HUGE POWER, maximum people can't even sit in that position for more than a few minutes..In other countries like mine India,, hardly we have roads to use a Kawasaki 6r or A Daytona like bikes...
i will buy this, exactly what i need, supersport look with street ergonomics
I have it, it's great
As soon as I saw this drop I knew Yam was crying somewhere, they turned it into a ninja 650
They should at least offer a race/sport pakage with lower handle bar and sharper tail for those who prefer racing ergonomic. But it looked to me it's gonna be difficult to mods this bike even with an aftermarket parts.
I expect it to be at least better than the GXS-8R and as good as the Aprilia RS 660 but... It's true what you say, it is what it is. I wish the situation was different too BUT it may well be a blast to ride, who knows
I have a beautiful 02 955i that I love love. Low miles, just broke it in a year ago. No kidding. It is very fast, great handling and very comfortable, for me at 6' anyway. Believe it or not the rider position triangle is almost exactly that if the R1 as stated in an older but still available article with comparison images. Just saying it is sometimes hard to judge by looks and equipment positioning what comfort or aggression is. Some things just work.
Daytonas forever 🤘
The fact that you know J Juan brakes , makes me feel I'm listening to the right guy. Only true enthusiast know.
I think the previous design looks better. It doesn't make me want to get the new one. I'll keep my 2010 Daytona, I love it to death.
MV Agusta still makes the F3 800 and it doesn't look like they'll kill it anytime soon so I wouldn't say supersports for the street are dead yet
I just wanna see a Sprint ST 1200 from Triumph
There are rumors triumph is developing a "track/race" kit for the Daytona 660 not sure what all it would change maybe different clip ons and rear sets and tune maybe go as far as upgraded adjustable forks
I find it quite sexy if I am being honest. I really like it, but I also haven't ridden older Daytona's so I don't have a comparison.
It's a fairly decent bike, this new category is getting trend and Triumph wanted a piece of the cake, I like it, I might get one this year...
The Aprilia RS 660 is still the king of this segment in my opinion
4:09 why is the rear tire backwards...
I like the new bike and agree, it will sell well. A different style bike, but I think you would also consider the Street Triple R for only $800 more. You get 118 HP, quick shifter, better brakes, adjustable suspension, and a 6 axis IMU. Of course the RS is even much better, but the R is only $9995. Pretty great value.
agreed, weird to buy way more cheaply made, way less powerful, was worse chassis/brakes/suspension, no 6axis IMU for just 10% less money.
STT R + clip-ons and small windshield would do the trick and be better in every imaginable way
The street triple r seems to be $1750 more based on the Triumph website at least. $10,945 vs $9,195
@@BlokHed75 nope, base R version is still 9,995.
Also street triple r comes with quick shifter as standard. For daytona its an option. So overall very similar in price.. street triple R is much better value for money...
The reason the bike isn't more powerful than 94hp is due to A2 licensing in the UK. Manufacturers can't limit the hp below half the full fat power if they want to limit it for A2 riders.
Just saw it at the local bike Show. Kind of make me sad, just didn't get me excited at all like my Daytona 675 did everytime i looked at it. Guess at 58 this will be more comfortable for the longer rides but it's missing so much of what it was.
As a flashed MT09 owner, I’ll put a deposit on a 765 Daytona immediately if they ever announce it
I'm very happy that the Daytona name is in the market place again. I'm sad that this is the bike that name landed on. I hope they come out with a 660R that clearly sets the Daytona name on this chassis with much better suspension, breaks, and also more power.
I wonder what it would look like if you removed the fake frame panels off the bike. I reckon it would look really bad ass
Think of it as like the old cbr 600f or thunder cat (I know I’m very old)
It's a "sporty" bike, not a true sportbike like the 765 Moto 2. No problem there. It's just a marketing move to use the Daytona name. Back when I was a lad, a Triumph Daytona was a 500 cc air cooled twin with dual carbs. A high school pal had one, and I liked it just fine, back in 1966. The new Daytona 660 looks like a great mid size bike, and should be a fast seller for Triumph. Being built in Thailand is of no issue whatsoever...I love Thai food too!
Need a yammie review on the new hornet 1000cc 2024
Ride it Yammie, and talk again.
