I feel compelled to throw my opinion in...my boyfriend is currently deployed and has left his 07 daytona in my care :) Honestly, that bike is a beast-once you get on and ride it you don't ever want to get off of it! My poor fz6r has been left to accumulate dust for the past 2 months because I keep grabbing the key to the daytona. Its like I automatically gravitate towards it ;) In regards to the r/r problem, I strongly suggest joining the triumph675.net forum and reading the post about the issue. We actually contacted a guy from the forum named d'ecosse-he wires up new r/r's and sells them at a very reasonable price. Many people have done this change and as far as I know, they haven't experienced any issues with the r/r since. Congrats on the new bike!!! If you're ever in the area, hit me up...I'm always looking for an excuse to get the scorched yellow monster out!!!

Picked the new bike up yesterday - I only got to do 25 miles on the ride home as the weather wasn't great (patchy freezing fog), really nice bike though.

I like the second pic, looks like the xjr are holding the 675 hostage or like two little brothers looking up to their big brother :thumbup:

Congrats, Geko.

I think the Daytona has the one thing that the FZ6R really needs: an engine with character. I know that comment will draw a lot of ire, but it's true. The FZ6R is just too friendly to inspire passion. Having said that, the FZ6R is a great bike. It suits my needs better than your beautiful Daytona.

Can't your insurance company pro-rate the first month for you? Just wondering.

Kind of partially agree with you... But now that I have the pipe and can actually hear some noise it's way different! All I need is the PC and back off a bit on my 16/38 and it will be a great ride, with some caracter... :canada:

congrats! i've only heard great things about the daytona... a couple guys at our local meet ride them. and, they say they're light (<400 lbs> and very nimble on the turns.

how much was it, if u don't mind us asking?

It was GBP8199 on the road with a full tank of fuel and I was able to spec it with GBP675 of free options so I had gel seat, colour coded pillion seat cover, aero screen, carbon fibre tail pipe end cap, alarm/immobilser, padock stand bobbins and 'Pazzo' style adjustable levers

If I converted that right, that is 13,042.38 USD???

i think they cost about $15K out-the-door in the U.S. too... roughly.

p.s. it just occured to me that bikes are prolly the only vehicle country-indifferent when it comes to setup. that is, unless the throttle is on the left side and the clutch on the right? :lol: xP

congrats! :)

when i was pricing them they were 10900 for msrp for the 2011 se, and 250 in fees. it was around 11500 otd b/c they said they dont discount them until they are really 'leftovers'. they had an 09 back in september that they had knocked down $700.

i would assume so, no reason to think otherwise.....what are you thinking of specifically???

btw, the dealer says they set them up upon delivery, just like all other brands. yet they dont charge for it b/c they get paid from triumph to do it. so they are not double dipping as some other dealers do.

well, in japan and in uk they drive on the wrong side of the road :) so, in a car, they shift with their LEFT HAND, and steer with their RIGHT HAND.

so, i was curious if on bikes in those place if the throttle and clutch are reversed- like in a car. it would be weird having to clutch right, accelerate left. @_@

:eyebrow: maybe they put the left turnsignal on the right and the right on the left. :)

i doubt it but...when i got on my fourwheeler for the first time after getting the 6r, i did a massive nose dive when i shifted gears and grabbed the front break. but yeah, im sure they are the same.
