The new 2013 Daytona 675 and Street Triple 675

Pic is a little big!  Right click, view image, to see it at full res.





This is the all-new Triumph Daytona 675 which was spotted by an MCN reader testing on the roads near Triumph's Hinckley factory.

The spy shots, taken on a mobile phone, show a comprehensively overhauled version of the inline three-cylinder 675cc supersport bike with - judging by the angles visible - almost every part new or heavily modified.

The underseat exhaust has been ditched in favour of a tiny side-mounted silencer, the front fairing is all new, the rear seat and lights are completely different, the rear subframe is new and the side fairing is tweaked too.

This is the first major overhaul the Daytona 675 has received since its launch in 2006, when it hit the supersport class like a thunderbolt. Its characterful inline three-cylinder engine, great road manners amd delicate handling sent it right to the top of the supersport class.

This overhaul is right on time for Triumph, as sales of the current bike have slowed in recent months. According to one dealer, who didn't want to be named, the factory has no new 2011 stock to buy; all you can buy are the bikes already in dealers.

I haven't seen the engine.  Is anyone certain it is a 675, or maybe something bigger?

I'm thinking of the de-stroked 1200 I've predicted...

Exactly what I didn't need to hear/read/see...

Andy Downes from MCN said they were 99% sure it was the 675 engine (see his comments over here).  The engine head in the photos looks like a 675.

The frontal spy shot of the bike may be found here.

That's very wishful thinking on it being a 1200cc model.

Well, somebody has to be wishin'!

Looks comfy.

That exhaust is way too small for a 1200.

Hold onto your backpacks, felllows!



The all-new, completely overhauled Triumph Daytona 675 has been spotted by MCN reader Bash Bailey, who filmed the bike undergoing testing on the roads near Triumph's Hinckley factory.

The revamped 675 will be seen in finished form at the end of 2012 before going on sale in 2013. The bike features an all-new fairing; the underseat exhaust has been dumped in favour of a stubby side-mounted version but frame and engine remain essentially the same. The lights, rear seat and subframe are completely different on the comprehensively overhauled bike.

While sales of the 600cc machines have dropped by as much as 75% in some markets, the Triumph Daytona 675 remains a good seller for the British firm, with many putting that down to the more road-oriented nature of the three-cylinder motor's power and torque delivery.

Bike is already allowed out on public roads for testing but triumph isn't going to admit it for over a year?

Not when they have a year's worth of inventory to sell.

Looks like MCN was wrong, *gasp.*  Triumph released pics of the 2012 Daytona 675, without any major changes.

So... what of these spy pics then?  

[DogBoy]

The Daytona 675 received a big upgrade for 2011 and Triumph doesn't update very often (fine with me). This was thin even for MCN.

[Rincewind]

It sounds like the spy pics are of the 2013 instead of the 2012 model.  Here is the latest one.

the tail section on the Daytona looks better than the one on the new Ducati 1199  

[Rincewind]

Here is the same pic, but with MCN's version of the VH1 pop-up balloons to help spot the changes.



The very latest MCN has stated that they have spy pics on a new Street Triple (this time beyond just headlights, I think)....  should be interesting.

One of each please, any color.  

[DogBoy]

Hard to imagine a more perfect streetbike (for me anyway   ) than the current Street Triple R. Can it really be improved? Rincewind what would you change?
