VEHICLE REVIEW
2009 Triumph Daytona 675
British engineering and refinement standards have once again been raised with the introduction of a new Daytona 675 . Triumph took the important decision of further improving the performance of their supersports model and they managed well with the new challenge. Increasing the power and lightening the overall weight always does the trick, but how a bike in this category goes around corners is crucially important so Triumph takes care of that aspect too.
Powerful thrust,supreme aerodynamics extremely aggressive,unique features
The 2009 model year undergoes a series of natural and anticipated upgrades that aim a better power to weight ratio, sweeter handling and overall feel. As supposed, the engine remains the same 675cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, inline three-cylinder unit getting fed through an advanced multipoint sequential electronic fuel injection system with forced air induction. Fine tuning allowed engineers to squeeze 3bhp more compared to the previous generation model, being now capable of delivering a maximum of 126bhp at 12,600 rpm while torque figures – 53ft.lbf at 11,750 don’t fall too far behind. Overall, the weight was reduced with 7 lbs so the bike now weighs 356 lbs dry. Seeing how little a new model was improved shows how good the previous model.
The front and rear suspensions are new and fully adjustable, apparently, in a fancy kind of way because the rider is allowed to adjust high and low speed compression damping regarding to the way that it plans to exploit his two-wheeled machinery. So riders will soften the suspensions to suit their tastes and preferences during daily exploiting or regular, low speed riding and harden them before going to spend some quality time on the track. But performance riding also implies some serious braking rounds and the 2009 Triumph Daytona provides the best of it thanks to a new front monobloc radial caliper and radial master cylinder applying each on a 308mm floating disc. The rear end also backs the bike up with a single 220mm disc and a single piston caliper. Despite being powered by a three-cylinder engine instead of a four-cylinder one like the majority of middleweight supersport bikes, especially the Japanese ones, the Daytona 675 is up for the challenge with great performance figures as well as chassis capabilities and marvelous design. An additional great feature of this bike is the recalibrated engine management system now accepting Triumph’s new quick-shifter, one of those cool accessories that riders simply can’t help getting for their bikes.
Daytona’s engine may “run in three pistons” and still keep up with the competition, but when it comes to appearance it’s easy to spot the difference. It is long been said that Italian styling is the sweetest, but getting a glimpse at the 2009 Triumph Daytona 675 we reckon that the British aren’t bad with the crayon either. The bike features an extremely aggressive design that doesn’t imply sharp lines. This stands for complexity and finesse, but what’s really important is that seat being positioned at 32.5 inches from the ground and the very low handlebars and screen. The riding position practically invites the rider to tuck itself under the small fairing and screen while keeping the knees and elbows as close to the narrow and also low positioned gas tank. At front, the headlights blend in with the fairing beautifully while the centrally positioned air intake adds another aggressive note to the racing look of this bike. The mirrors are actually very well positioned so that the rider can actually see the traffic behind and not his elbows. The black frame and swingarm give a clue of the bike’s cornering abilities while the underseat exhaust stands for symmetry. This bike rides on a pair of alloy five-spoke 17-inch wheels positioned 54.9 inches apart, which also enhances the sporty look.
