Triumph Daytona 675
Introduced in 2006, the Triumph Daytona 675 is a three-cylinder sport bike, and the smallest of the Triumph triples. Built by Triumph Motorcycles, it replaced their four-cylinder Daytona 650. The 675 proved to be remarkably light, nimble and powerful, and it was very successful against the Japanese 600cc competition. In 2016, Triumph ceased production of the base model Daytona 675 citing diminishing demand for super sport bikes and increasingly strict European emission standards.[1] Triumph continue to produce the up spec Triumph Daytona 675R model
Racing
As the TT 600 morphed through the Daytona 600, 650, and finally became the 675, it produced considerable interest and more privateers entered AMA and regional events. When the Daytona 675 was launched there were no factory-backed racing teams. This changed in 2008 when MAP Embassy Racing struck a deal with Triumph,[7] and entered the 2008 British Supersport Championship. On 5 May 2008, Glen Richards scored the first win for a Triumph-backed team since 2004 and scored three further wins on his way to the championship.[8]
Before 2008 several privateers were racing the Triumph Daytona 675 without any official factory support. In the British Supersport Championship 2006, Daytonas were raced by Paul Young and Christian Elkin.
During the development phase, Triumph made representations to the Isle of Man TT for a 675 triple to race in the 600 class. With a successful outcome, a Daytona was raced by New Zealander Paul Dobbs in the 2006 TT.[9] On 11 August 2006, The Triumph Daytona 675 was cleared for entry into the AMA Formula Xtreme class for 2007. The Daytona 675 was used by Team SC in the 2008 Supersport World Championship. The factory supported team was called Triumph-SC and has Garry McCoy and Ilario Dionisi as riders.
There is also a Daytona 675 one-make series called Triumph Triple Challenge. This is run in conjunction with Bemsee Race Club and operated under the Motorcycle Racing Organisation (MRO) format. It is a series run by T3 Racing over nine rounds, with a 2007 entry cost £12,000, which included ownership of a Daytona 675.
The Triumph Daytona 675 faces a different set of rules and restrictions when it competes in American Motorcycle Racing events. Although Triumph NA has not sponsored any American teams in the last several decades, privateers began racing Triumphs in AMA races as early as 2002 when the Augusta Triumph/Ducati Racing Team fielded a TT 600. It was the first Triumph to make the top 20 when it finished 17th at Road Atlanta.
In the same year (2007) that the Daytona 675 debuted in AMA events, Augusta Triumph/Ducati Racing Team members won regional titles at both the expert and novice levels in four racing categories. 2009 was a very good year for the Daytona 675. In May the Augusta Triumph/Ducati Racing Team had a podium finish in AMA. In their competition in Moto GT the team of Mark Crozier and Phil Caudill scored with a first place finish at Barber Motorsports Park. Their Daytona 675 was the first time the Triumph Daytona 675 took the pole in an AMA event. It led 19 of 40 laps and is the first time that the Daytona 675 has ever placed first in an AMA event. The Augusta Triumph team went on to win the AMA Pro Moto GT1 season championship with one race remaining on the calendar.
The ParkinGO Triumph BE1 Racing World Supersport team also had a good run in 2009, finishing fifth in the manufacturer's standings in the team's first year of competition. Team rider Garry McCoy earned two podium finishes during the season, the first at Donington and the second at Portimao.
In 2010, the Augusta Triumph/Ducati Racing Team fielded their 675 in the WERA Southeast and North Florida regions, winning a total of four championships, WERA SE Heavyweight Twins Superbike Expert and Heavyweight Twins Superstock Expert; WERA North Florida Heavyweight Twins Superbike Expert and Heavyweight Twins Superstock Expert. In October, rider Giovanni Rojas added a fifth title by winning the 2010 Grand National Heavyweight Twins Superstock Expert Championship at Road Atlanta which gave the team a national title.
Revisions
2009
The 2009 model of the Daytona has had over 50 technical improvements according to Triumph.[10] While the only cosmetic changes were to the front fairing and turn signals, the new model is lighter, the ECU has been remapped to increase the rev limit and produce a power increase of 3 hp (2.2 kW), a taller first gear, and handling has improved through high and low speed dampers. In addition, the 2009 model's ECU is compatible with Triumph's OEM plug and play quickshifter.
2010
The 2010 model year is virtually unchanged from the 2009 Daytona 675 apart from a redesigned instrument cluster. The new instruments have a more modern appearance, but do not offer any new functionality as compared to the older design.
Triumph also offered a 2010 Special Edition (SE) Daytona 675 with a Pearl White paint scheme on the bodywork, blue frame, adjustable levers and carbon fiber infill panels. Two versions of the SE were produced, one with the new 2010 instrument cluster and one without.
2011
The 2011 Daytona 675 Special Edition has the same Pearl White bodywork and Blue frame as the 2010 model, but also included as standard carbon fiber replacements for the cockpit infill panels, exhaust heat shield, exhaust cap, and rear hugger as well as Triumph's aftermarket adjustable levers. Unlike the 2010 SE, the 2011 SE also includes the updated gauge cluster first found in the standard 2010 model, as well as a new racing-inspired decal design
2011 Daytona 675R
First offered in early 2011, but still part of the 2011 model year, Triumph debuted the Daytona 675R. The 675R did not feature any changes to the engine, instead Triumph's focus was on the standard inclusion of Brembo front brakes, Öhlins suspension, and Triumph's quickshifter. The 675R has carbon fiber front mudguard, rear hugger, exhaust cap, heat shield, and cockpit infill panels
2013
The 2013 Triple motor is more compact and a little more powerful due to a shorter stroke ratio. The bike has a smaller, lighter and narrower frame. It has a bigger airbox, new swingarm, slipper clutch and lighter wheels. Other changes include a fuel gauge and a side mounted exhaust instead of the underseat setup from previous models and rear Brembo brakes on the Standard 675. ABS is an option on the standard bike.
2014
ABS made standard equipment. Slipper Clutch and Quick shifter (Up Shift only) is implemented.
