Triumph Daytona 675, individually superb!!

Advantages: Triumph badge, grunt, handling, image, build quality
Disadvantages: will keep you out all weekend, prepare the divorce papers!!

...Over the years I've owned middleweight Honda's, Kawasaki's, Yamaha's, KTM's and an Aprilia Mille. I judge a bike by whether it gets me out of bed before 8am at the weekends. The Triumph Daytona 675 certainly does, not just at the weekends either. My Daytona is a 05 in red, the best colour in my opinion. I have to say that of all the bikes I've owned this is by far the best all rounder and its given me the biggest grin of the lot. Not to say that it does everything reasonably well like a CBR 600; the 675 everything exceptionally well, has the image, the heritage and the grin factor packed in as well! In my early riding years I was a junky for the Japanese reliability, yet soon became bored whilst everyone seemed to own the same bike as me and have the same opinion that they'd probably picked up from Ride Magazine last week. I went...

Review of Daytona 675

"Ooo oooh Daytona . ." .. Chris Rea 1991

Advantages: looks, handling, street cred, british made, traffic busting, grin factor, engine noise
Disadvantages: all the time you spend cleaning it

...Demonstration ride of Triumph Daytona 675: 2009 model Price £7589 Category: Supersports Engine: 4 stroke, 3 cylinder 675cc Power: 138 ps Demonstrator courtesy of Cobb & Jagger, Shipley Have bike will travel -------------------------- As my Daytona 995 was due in for some work and a pair of tyres, I took the chance to have a go on the Daytona 675. The sales assistant led me out to a glossy black machine, stuck the keys in the ignition and fired it up, letting the triple burble away as he pointed out a few controls and instrument display. ?It's been spitting a bit with rain, and the bikes got relatively fresh tyres on so be careful with it, if the fuel light comes on, then you have about 25 miles before you run out, but have fun.? Saying that he left me to kit myself up and walked away back into the showroom...

Daytona

Advantages: Relaxing, Clean Beach, Can go cruising on the beach
Disadvantages: basic motels

...I have mixed feelings about Daytona, but having travelled to Orlando on holiday, it was one of the places I felt I had to see. It is approximately one to one and a half hours drive from Orlando and very, very different from the commercialism of Orlando/Disney. When we were there it was the build up to the Daytona 500 and it was very busy. We visited Daytona Speedway when the cars were practising and did the "tour" where a small train takes you through the tunnel on the infield, awesome, you really dont realise the sheer scale of the place until you are in the middle of it. You are given all the information you need to know about the Speedway and if you are lucky may see some cars practising. Considering how famous Daytona is you really shouldnt miss it. The tour lasts about half an hour but I cant recall how much it was, but not...

Daytona 900 - Sports Tourer

Advantages: Triumph Brand. Good Finnish. Stable and predictable.
Disadvantages: Heavy, long reach to bars, parts expensive.

...This is my second Daytona 900, so I guess I like them. I had a VFR750 in between. The Daytona is a good long distance fast tourer. It is not a sports bike and if thats what you want I would look to one of the newer Daytonas or another bike altogether. It sweeps through bends and is very stable at speed but it doesn't have the fast steering of a sports bike or the insaine power band. The power is smooth and progresive, there is plenty but it doesn't come all in a rush like alot of sports bikes. The Daytona has a fantastic sense of presence and it is the kind of bike that makes people look to see what it is. Mine is bright red which also probably makes it more noticable. (My last one was black which was very difficult to keep clean) The seat is very comfortable and the pegs are not so high up to be cramped (I'm 5'10"). However it...

Review of Triumph Daytona 900

The neighbours will hear you coming...

Advantages: Fast, British, Monstrous Noise, Character, Reliability, Looks
Disadvantages: Too fast for road, committed handling, lots of yellow ones

... Triumph Daytona T595 is useless. In the same way an oil painting is useless. I would argue that there is art in both, but I guess that sounds more than a bit pretentious huh? It's art Jim, but not as we know it... By way of an explanation... many motorcycles serve a purpose, whether it's transport, touring holidays, or racing for instance. They are designed with a purpose in mind, and many of their features are adapted to better fit their purpose. The Daytona simply wasn't designed this way. It was designed for no particular purpose at all other than to be itself. It's impractical as transport as you can't ride it slowly, it's too uncomfortable and thirsty for touring, plus there is nowhere convenient to store any luggage. There are even faster bikes...

Review of Triumph Daytona T595

One of the greatest cornering bikes of all time

Advantages: Chassis, Brakes, Looks, Comfort, Confidence inspiring
Disadvantages: Tank range, Spares costs, Fragile electrics

...Triumph Daytona 600; 2002 - 2005; £3000 - £4500; Insurance NU14 In 2002 Triumph released the Daytona 600 sportsbike. A 599cc in-line four engine with 103bhp and 59ft.lb of torque. The Daytona was the evolution of the TT600 model which was loved and hatd at the same time by all those that rode it. The styling on the tt was questionable and the fuel injection was as rough as sandpaper but, thanks to an incrediblely developed chassis the TT handled like nothing else and the brakes where phenomenal. Although the Daytona was an evolution of a current model it was clear from the off that this was a very different beast. The chassis and brakes were largely unchanged except for a few minor tweaks that improved on an already very capable package but the rest of the bike was a completely different story. Gone was the ugly, bulbous...

Triumph 955 (595) - Flying the Union Jack

Advantages: British bike - looks - handling - finish
Disadvantages: heavy on wrists - heat of engine - massive rear tyre to replace

...and the delivery doesn't suprise you with nasty flat spots. It can be ridden as hard as you want to ride it and the engine noise always leaves a grin on my face. Sometimes its just as rewarding to park up and look at it while you eat your fish and chips, and watch everybody else eye it up too. Get some decent secuity for it though. The previous owner fited an alarm imobiliser and this knocked £100 off the premium down to £180. (The bike is grouped as 55 and I have an advanced rider qual. 34 yrs old - this all helps knock the price down a bit). Acessories ---------------- Sports Hump The Daytona came supplied with a seat hump which replaces the rear seat. A lock down the side of the bike releases the seat, or hump and allows them to be interchanged. Although the previous owner has sliced a hole into the underneath of the seat hump on mine...

Daytona Milton Keynes - A TOP karting Venue

Advantages: fast karts, excellent circuit, friendly staff, clean place
Disadvantages: price is high, but so is all karting

...Karting has got to be one of the most fun and exciting activities you can possibly go and do. Recently i have entered a couple of open races at the Daytona Circuit in Milton Keynes. Arriving at this circuit is like no other i have every been to. Unlike many crabby circuits, with their karts that are unrelieable, and the building area is not a nice place to spend time, this place is excellent. You walk in, and you sign on using the touch screen computers, and then go to the reception area where your details are printed off, and you sing to the disclaimer form. Everywhere is clean and tidy, changing rooms and toilets are no problem here at all. They also have lockers to keep your stuff while you are racing, and a cafe area for spectators to grab some refreshments. The karts here are all kept to the highest standard, and i have...

Review of Karting/GoKarting - General

A huge improvement over the first Saturn version!

Advantages: More levels, more cars, great graphics, great music, multiplayer!!
Disadvantages: Handling isn't too great, can be finished easily etc.

...Daytona USA Championship Circuit Edition is often seen as a much lesser and lamer version of the original Daytona game on Saturn. I personally think this is a poo statement but everyone is allowed their own opinions right?. Daytona USA CCE improves massively on the original release on the Saturn with it's wider range of cars, tracks to race on and MUCH better graphics, however it does have a few small thing which make it inferior to the original version of the game. Gameplay The game contains 5 tracks to race on and 8 cars to choose from. Each level has a very unique style to it and has little things throughout the level which give it real color such as the level which has animated trains in the desert and also the level where you can see animated roller coasters and Ferris wheels while driving by. Each car also has it's own...

Review of Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition (Sega Saturn)

Buy British?

Advantages: Good Solid bike
Disadvantages: Can become quite uncomfortable on long journeys

...About a year ago, my husband and I purchased a Triumph Daytona 900. M registration in Teal green, in very good condition. The mileage was quite low and the price was right. Since that day my husband has taken it to work everyday with no troubles at all, apart from the right hand switchgear going all wrong and the starter button stopped working but we got a new switch for it. Finding parts secondhand or from breakers can prove difficult for Triumphs because they seem to still be on the roads rather than crashed! I would say this is the case because they are definitely not the sort of bike that you throw around like you would a Hyabusa or GSXR 1100 etc maybe!?! This bike is comfortable for both rider and pillion although after riding for a long period of time, you tend to find that the next day your arms are killing you...
