Triumph Daytona 675

Does anyone own or know much about the Triumph Daytona 675. I have been watching some youtube vids and love the sound, but I don't know how well they handle on the street.

Any input?

I get to ride each new one we sell, as well as the ones we service. We just sold a 675R which has the Ohlins suspension & speed shifter, sweet little bike. We can add the speed shifter to any Daytona 675 as we did one last week. How do they handle?, as good as any sport bike I have ridden plus there is something unique called midrange power.

I rode one around town last year at the demo day. Seem to handle really well but never got a chance to really turn the thing. It seemed kinda slow though.. Do they tame down the demo bikes?

I have plans to hit Freedom Cycle today around 12 or 1 to see how I fit. Looking forward to it

You gotta remember it's a 600, not 1 liter like our bikes. You are spoiled by having a very potent mid range on the CBR. Yes the Daytona has a nice punch up top.
