The new 2013 Daytona 675 and Street Triple 675

[expatbrit]

Yeah. The new "R" with the red subframe. Oh yeah.

Bar end mirrors to replace the stupid ears. My sister bought me a Triumph bike mat for my birthday; maybe it can have a Triumph on it!

[Tyrroneous]

That new R is suweet!

On the list before, very much on the list now.

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?

15% larger would be good- not in displacement, but physical dimensions!  The 675 is like a 7/8 scale model of a bike.

It only takes a little bit to get used to it.  It is tall though.  But very narrow.  Its funny cause when I'm in a tuck if I put my elbow out just a little bit I can feel my drag increasing.

Lord have mercy.  Oh please, Triumph, make a 'traveling' iteration of this bike. It only weighs 405 lbs, surely you could put a half-fairing on for 30 additional?  If so, that would be my next and likely last bike....

That's a good looking bike.  I didn't originally care for the new headlights on the interim update model, but they fit well here.  Too bad it makes my 2009 look dated...

The word you're looking for is "classic".

Strom, I've been asking for the same thing for years now: A lightweight, small displacement tourer to replace my YZF600R, which currently has touring duty. I sent a 6-page report to Triumph back in 2004 or 2005 (can't remember when), saying that I don't need 1200cc's and a whole lot of excess weight.

If you're tall enough, the Tiger 800 is only about 470 pounds, which isn't too bad, though possibly more jacked up than you prefer for a really sporty sport-tourer.

Crisp, I've ridden and like the Tigger800. But again, the weather protection is lacking; just my .02.  One of the things I very much like about the Stroms is that the combo of tank/fairing/screen is 'not too much, not too little, juuuust right' to protect from riding in all-day storms.

I'd be perfectly happy with that 675 triple, with a wee fairing and more windscreen, please.

You could throw on something like an LSL Superbike bar kit or Convertibars and a tall screen or MRA X-creen on a Daytona 675 and probably get a lot of what you're looking for.   Soft luggage shouldn't be a real issue with the under-seat exhaust.

Here's one with the Bag's Connection Speedpack and huge gas-cap mounted tank bag (which obviates the need for a bigger screen, methinks!).



And here's the Ventura kit (I love this setup on my Tuono)
