Two bikes I'm considering

[CrazyCawi]

Black and gold 2012 triumph Daytona 675. I found a pretty decent deal on it.

The other option is a 2008 R6 from a guy who had aid life crisis at over age 50 and bought it. Only 2700 miles on it and looks like new. Cadmium Yellow and black with the flame decals which are easily removable thank goodness.


Idk which route to go, the yzf-r6 is an amazing deal and so is the triumph but the spread in price is about 4600. Idk what route to go because I can't ride them right now, both feel comfortable, both are great deals and they are both great bikes. I don't plan to race on the track but may do an occasional track day.


If it were you what choice would you make?

If money were no object I'd go for the Daytona. I thought you were trying to get away from sport bikes?

which ever you can get the better deal on, cause you know will ride it for 1 season and sell it to get something else~!

please let me know if you don't get the R6, I may

 

[CrazyCawi]

Well they are both equally as good of a deal in regard to what they sell for normally. My intentions would be if I get the r6 to ride it a season or two and shed it off for what I paid
because it's worth that easily. What draws me to the triumph is the fact that it's unique, powerful low and mid range power and decent top end. I would likely keep the triumph far longer than the r6 especially because it's 4 years newer as well

it's prob. harder to get a better deal on a 675, so grab that one. R6 deals are plentiful

I'm being serious..... On the real....... At least sit on a Busa....


Big plushy seats for both operator & passenger
A true touring bike
A true sport bike
A comfortable, plushy, cadillac ride whether going 60 or 160
Completely customizable
Sit tucked in or upright
Plop the cowl on & take it to the track
08-14 has every gauge imaginable including gear indicator, even has 3 mode selector switch... 99-07 everything but gauge indicator & selector mode..
affordable
lasts longer than most trucks
Instant street & track credit, from the factory stock..

I could go on & on, but seriously, at least give it some thought... At least sit on one..

If you are planning to track either of them -be prepared to bin it should you go down

If I was choosing between the two and considered them for more road riding,
the Triumph would tick more boxes due to torque lower in rev range

Seriously, why spend any time at all thinking about which to get. Get one, keep it for 6 months, then get rid of it and get the other.

You say it like that's a bad thing.

You know which one I'd pick...

I've been happy with mine. Plus, I think the 675 is more street friendly because of the more usable power band. That's why I originally chose it.

 

[EsrTek]

If I had the money and choice between the 2, I'd pick the 675!
It's a more street bike and can do track days, where the R6 is a track bike you can get away with riding on streets.

Better post pics brah.

 

[roundhouse]

never ridden a daytona. sat on one but that is hardly a true test. had a 08 R6 which was uncomfortable for me. that is why i traded it for the 6R

which one will you enjoy riding more?

Have been pricing alot of motorcycles lately to see my future options. I've been looking at bikes with good low/mid range with decent top end. ZX-6R (636), Daytona 675, FZ1, Ninja 1000, and Suzuki GSXR750 are at the top of my list. I've priced them all and can get an one of them for about $9000 or less brand new (some are leftovers, except 636 since 2013 was first year back). I'm happy with my 6R, but eventually I'll get one of those beasts. The 675 price surprised me a bit. I thought it would be way more expensive, but costs around $11000 brand new (minus the R badging).
