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

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...

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

...Reason for Buying ------------------------- I have always wanted a Triumph ever since they started building them again at Hinkley. Although I was a little young when they first came out and had only just passed my test. Another reason was that old guys used to come up to me when I was parked up and start a conversation along the lines of: "now thats a nice looking bike - the only problem with bikes these days is that they are all Japanese - I used to have a Vincent/BSA/Norton etc when I was a lad . . . . " A Test Ride ---------------- Due to job, time and money I had to get bikes more to do with what I could afford at the time. I did test ride the 595 when it came out and loved it. The biggest bike I had ever rode up to then was a 400 FZRR exup and to jump on a machine this size, with a pillion on and chase the shops...

Review of Triumph Daytona T595

"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...

Review of Daytona 675

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...

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...

Review of Daytona Beach (Florida)

Not so much a triumph,,,

Advantages: It's not a bad metal album
Disadvantages: Too many throw-away songs...

...they were doing it all as a joke, but then had the feeling that they were actually taking themselves seriously! They have become a parody of themselves, a Spinal Tap with heavier guitars? But what of the 1992 release The Triumph of Steel? The band? Eric Adams ? vocals David Shankle ? guitars* Joey DeMaio ? bass Rhino (aka Kenny Earl Edwards) ? drums* *These two had just replaced long-standing Ross "The Boss" Friedman - guitar Scott Columbus ? drums, who had left the band, but this was the only album to feature both these new musicians. Columbus returned for the next few albums, however. The songs? "Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy in Eight Parts" ? 28:38 Prelude I. Hector Storms the Wall II. The Death of Patroclus III. Funeral March IV. Armor of the Gods V. Hector's Final Hour VI. Death Hector's Reward VII...

Review of Triumph Of Steel, The - Manowar

The Herald - A True British Triumph

Advantages: Ahead of its time
Disadvantages: Handled very poorly. Slow.

...~ ~ When I was a teenager back in 1963, the first car my father ever bought was an old Ford Anglia in which I learned my basic driving skills. Three years later it was traded in, and a brand spanking new car arrived on the doorstep. A Triumph Herald 12/50, in lovely gleaming white, matching white colour-coded rubber bumpers, with a canvas slide-back sunroof, and to top it all, a RADIO. This was nirvana for a 15-year-old boy heavily into the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and all the popular music of the time, and a vast improvement on the old Dansette transistor radio that had sat on the dashboard of the old Anglia, which had truly dreadful reception. ~ ~ In those days cars still had to be ?run in?, and great care was taken for the first thousand miles, with no heavy strain being put on the engine, and the top speed limited (by...

Review of Triumph Herald

Another Triumph for Maclaren

Advantages: Lightweight, good value for money, funky design, reliable
Disadvantages: Stupid brakes but you do get used to it

...I have had a Silver Cross pushchair since Harry was born in March 06, and although I really love that buggy, I have been looking for something smaller for going shopping with, especially now the shops will be busy with people starting their Christmas shopping. I have loved Maclaren buggies for a while, and my partner finally decided that we could get one. I settled on a Triumph, one of the smallest buggies in the Maclaren range, and I am so thrilled with it, I thought I would write a little review on it! Maclaren are probably one of the most well known lightweight pushchair manufacturers. They are most famous for their umbrella-folding buggies which you will mums all over the UK pushing around, and there are many different buggies to suit all needs available from them. Maclaren began in 1965 and have become bigger and better since...

Review of Maclaren Europe Limited Triumph

Maclaren Triumph Triumphs!

Advantages: Lighweight & compact!
Disadvantages: Not many reclining positions!

...I bought the Maclaren Triumph stroller as a lightweight, more convenient method of transport for my little boy. I felt that there was no longer a need to take the travel system pram everywhere, and the Maclaren Triumph turned out to be the perfect replacement. The Triumph is very lightweight and compact, and even comes with a shoulder strap so that you can close it up and sling it over your shoulder when not in use ... that's how lightweight it is. The stroller is made from a very sturdy aluminium frame, and comes with every accessory you would expect from a top quality pushchair, a hood, shopping basket, rain cover and inter-changeable harness'. The stroller has a 5-point safety harness, and the shoulder straps are height adjustable. The stroller is very easy to open out and also folds neatly. The handles are foam insulated...
