i think yammie’s view on the daytona 660 is very similar to what diehard r6 people’s views were when the r7 came out

[DYNOSRR]

The logical choice for a do-it-all motorcycle is clearly an H2R.

[omkarbiswas]

The new Daytona is the direct competition to the Honda CBR 650. Not hard core sports bikes but great simple all rounders and a little comfortable too

[ReQuiem_]

The "But it's not a Daytona!" argument rings hollow when you look at the first Gen Daytona which was more of a sport tourer...

[GarageHooning]

I debated long and hard, a used daytona 675 in my area cost about the same as the new 660. I ended buying a 2025 daytona 660 and I love it. Michigan roads are quite rough and it's comfortable enough to commute an hour to some fun roads and it's sporty enough to enjoy the curves.

[jayc]

Saw one of these on a carpark the other day, instantly changed my opinion. It's a good looking bike.

[schorschels]

Jam talked so much (and emotional) about the 675, that I have to go out and swing my leg over the old Streety R

[LLG]

I think a lot of the reason bikes seem nerfed is because they are, a motorcycle that revs high just can't meet emissions anymore. A couple milligrams of sulfur dioxide or nitrous oxide makes them fail, Even if it's a recreational machine that isn't used for the same appliance as a car the government especially in Europe is starting to use the bullwhip.

Had mine for about a month now and as a first bike, I'm loving it. I was originally looking at the ninja 650 but the 95hp really was what sold me on this bike. Enough power that I won't get sick of it after a year but safe enough that I won't be scared of it. Exhaust could be better but overall, great bike in my opinion. Although I haven't tried a whole lot of bikes ahah

[focohustla]

I love my Daytona 660!!! Such a great bike.

[photographerjonathan]

After all the talk about this bike not being like the old Daytona. I had to go test ride one. and I had already test road a Trident months before. and I have to say that I was totally surprised with how much I loved this new Daytona 660. the engine has plenty of pep with a really nice stock sound, and the bike is nice and stable. and I also think the bike is really nice looking. even though it has allot of plastic. but one thing I didn't realize until I got back to the dealer on it and was talking to one of the guys who work there. is the frame on the side above the engine is a fake frame. it looks so much like a real Frame that I didn't even notice it until it was pointed out to me. it's just a piece of plastic that looks like a nice metal frame. and that kind of through me. I reached under it and its just a tubular frame. but other than that. I could be more than happy owning this bike. and I currently ride a Ducati 939 Supersport. ( I would love it if Triumph made the 765 Rs with a full fairing but without changing the ergonomics. just a more high end version of this new 660 with the same looks )

[ApexRadius]

Brass tax: If you were expecting a reincarnated Daytona 675 and that's what you want, this bike is not for you. For the people that want a fun, affordable, fairly practical sporty road bike (and is also able to meet A2/Restricted license requirements) then it's a good option. So it will likely sell better than the D675 ever did.

[ptilrem]

After having tried this, and as an owner of a Tiger Sport 660, I have to agree with Yammie on this. It's a fun bike for cheap money, but it's more like a "Trident Sport" than Daytona. They should've built it on the Street Triple 765 platform.

[jonobester]

Perfect for this 70yr old on the street. I don't need 125hp. Just protection from the wind.

[ItsTonioCyka]

12:28, your statement there is why I think that the Triumph Street Triple is the best all rounder. Naked bike but the chassis is the proper Daytona chassis, the engine wether it’s the 675 or 765, is much more there than the 660. Rear set position that is as near to the Daytona as you can, gearbox gearing of course isn’t the same but it’s what makes the Street so much more livable day to day as well 💁🏽‍♂️

[chukaone]

I'm logical and I got one immediately ordering one was possible at the dealership and I love it

[lorinhardy]

Never had a Daytona but thanks for making me appreciate my 2016 Street Triple 675R even more today. It's a wonderful machine and that 675 engine howls like no other.

[GoranVarg]

Bro, you still haven't got your hands on the new Street Triple RS. Would have been way more excited to hear your opinion on that one.

[thomaskimball]

Bought this bike last month and I'm on my second burn in (Dealer sold me one and accidently sent me home on another so they switched me to the correct one when I went in for the 600 mile service). I love the bike! I have a 30 min commute and live in the mountains and it is wonderful.

[tomcolfax]

Haven't ridden a smaller CC bike since my Honda CB550F which was very fun to ride all day and used way less fuel than my 1100CC Yamaha. Thanks for this review I'm seriously considering getting a Triumph love the look of the bike and idea of having a 3 cylinder!
