Triumph Daytona 675 Review

Used Buyer Review

The 675 triple is genuinely one of the best-sounding, most characterful engines ever bolted into a sportsbike chassis. That 675cc inline-three hits a sweet spot between fizzy four and torquey twin — you get usable midrange plus a screaming top-end that sounds absolutely filthy through an aftermarket can. The chassis is sharp without being neurotic, and it'll embarrass plenty of litre bikes through real-world twisties. Buying used, you need to do your homework though. Check for crashed examples obsessively — these get ridden hard and tip over at track days regularly. Inspect the frame sliders, look under fairings for scuffs, and demand a full service history. Cam chain tensioners and stator failures are known weak points, especially pre-2009 bikes. Budget for fresh tyres and a service immediately. The ergonomics are genuinely sportsbike aggressive — this isn't a weekend tourer. Wrists and knees will remind you after 90 minutes. But honestly, if you want a pure driving experience under £4,000, nothing touches it.
