There is one thing that I would add to that list and it comes simply from my experience with the bike: a while ago now I had two punctures in relatively quick succession to the rear. Not a huge amount of time after that I changed the chain and sprockets and it all meant that getting the chain tension correct and torquing up the rear wheel became a more frequent task than it should have been.
My improvement would be a slightly easier to use chain tensioning system than is standard. There are aftermarket kits, I know. I also know it's not really a deal breaker but there, that's my piece.
Ride Quality 4 out of 5 stars. I have been riding this bike with Dunlop's Sportsmax Qualifiers on recently and once everything is warmed up a bit they are the final, sticky pieces to the confidence inspiring puzzle.
The bike lets you change direction quickly and smoothly. Everything feels solid at all sorts of speeds and angles and the shifting up and down is a pleasure. It should be stated that as a novice-turning-intermediate rider I'm not exactly pushing the limits of the machine, but it is reassuring to feel like there is more of everything to give as my abilities grow. Engine 4 out of 5 stars.
In the two years of ownership the sheer drive of this bike has never failed to put a smile on my face. Ear to ear grinning. I must confess, part of the sensation of performance is the aural accompaniment to twisting the throttle. A seemingly impossible union of mechanical chorus and rising cacophony somehow blends to a very, very pleasant soundtrack. No, it doesn't have the eye bleedingly fast top end speeds of bigger sports bikes.
That doesn't matter to me. Riding this Triumph over dales, around bends and to the coast and back is plenty quick enough on our roads. I think the claimed figure on release of the bike was hp at the rear wheel, giving 75 Nm torque.
The performance is certainly there to mix it up and, even though I am biased, I think that it is delivered in a more beautiful package than the other four. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't turn down any of the Japanese middleweights if I was offered one, but even an R6 nut must admit that the Daytona is at the very least an original looking bike for the class. I'd say I get - miles range before the fuel light comes on and even after then I have pushed it before refueling.
At the time of writing I've not had a full service done so cannot comment on the cost there. Because the Daytona models are no longer in production, I have found that parts can be both harder to find and more expensive. My Daytona does not like the heat. I have grown so used to seeing those five little bars representing engine temperature on my LCD readout that the moment it creeps up to six, seven or, heck forbid, eight plus, it becomes a worry.
To be fair, that only happens on particularly hot days where I have been unfortunate enough to be stuck in traffic, and I've always been able to get some cool air rushing through in time.
I did deal with what is apparently a fairly common fault when I first got the bike. That being the solenoid valve opening up the air intake was not opening and closing as it should. Brake 4 out of 5 stars.
The Nissin four piston brakes up front do a good job of stopping you. There's an initial 'bite' of stopping power but otherwise a very predictable culling of speed. The amount of feedback means you can stop, turn and fire out of a bend with precision but also confidently trail brake if you need to.
First Look: Triumph Trident Triumph Street Triple RS Triumph Speedmaster. Triumph Bonneville T Triumph Trident A de-cat link pipe, which removes the catalytic converter, is a worthy addition as it not only helps the bike breath, it also makes the exhaust run cooler, reducing the annoying heat build-up around your ankle. Aftermarket end cans are common and Triumph released their own ECU update for their Arrow can to match the fuelling, so check the bike has received this upgrade or has had an ECU re-map or fuelling module fitted.
A simply wonderful handling bike, the Daytona is a match for any Japanese inline four and on a fast road or a race track is it sublime. You get fully-adjustable Kayaba suspension on all models and it is fairly high-spec, so adjusting it does actually make a difference. Watch out for the suspension linkages seizing up on all years of bike as they should be stripped and regreased at 12, miles but this seldom happens, highlighting how little grease Triumph pack in there at the factory when they inevitably seize solid!
A set of high friction pads will give a bit more bite, which is recommended for track work, but otherwise just ensure they are kept nicely serviced. Some owners do take their s touring but the fact of the matter is that they are a narrow, cramped supersport bike with low bars and a thinly padded seat.
If you want to cover distance, a taller screen and gel seat helps matters but these are short-hop bikes that are there to be enjoyed on a quick bast rather than a long tour. The only rider aids on this generation of are a gear indicator on the dash and shift lights, however aftermarket traction control systems are available.
Triumph sold an array of extras such as carbon infill panels, an Arrow silencer, carbon huggers and mudguards and even two options of tank bag litre and litre. It depends on your tastes but if you want all the bling, buy a bike with it fitted as this will save you cash in the long run — just be wary about who fitted the parts and how competently it was done! If you want a lightweight supersport bike for mainly road use, the Daytona is the one to buy.
The triple motor is beautiful and very engaging to use while the chassis is right up there with the best Japan has to offer. Looking for motorbike insurance?
That changed in when Triumph released the first Daytona , RevZilla reports. Instead, it has a cc liquid-cooled inline-three engine rated at hp and 48 lb-ft linked to a six-speed transmission, Cycle World reports. And compared to its four-cylinder rivals, the Daytona has significantly more low-end torque, Cycle World reports. As it's throwbackthursday we thought we would take a look back at the UKTriumph Daytona R.
What do you think of this three-cylinder supersport? Triumph tweaked and improved the Daytona over the years, giving it more power and features, Motorcyclist reports. Plus, hp and 53 lb-ft along with grippier Pirelli tires. Triumph overhauled both the Daytona and R for It surely cannot be the end of the Daytona.
