but with diligence is the 675 really that unreliable you reckon ie even with due care and attention its a bit flakey? im superficial and the cbr looks so bland and im a sucker for 'character'
The 675 turns without trying. It's got a surprising amount of grunt and it is fast enough to keep up with most bikes.I never had any issues at all from new. Monoblock Brembo's, ohlins all round, Quick shifter,etc. I had the arrow can and the triple sound is totally intoxicating. You won't be sorry.
I think if you are used to a Ducati then the Triumph is the best option for a 600 as it actually has midrange, the others will do your head in! I've owned 2 Daytona's and my mate has also, never had any issues with them and have been sublime on track, the 09-12 is my pick though, better brakes, hydraulic cam chain tensioner and 3hp and less weight. Oh and the official triumph quick-shifter is plug and play on the 09 with the wiring ready for it. My most recent one was a white 2013 R model as pictured above, also a great bike, rode it to scotland and did some touring on it. Get over to the 675.cc forum and ask some guys who live and breathe these bikes, some do silly amounts of miles!
My lanky mate has one as his track bike....Under seat exhaust model, bloody light bike compared to my contraption.
That's my worry. I have a 600 SRAD I can't ride anymore as it won't do anything under 10k rpm and I keep thinking it's about to blow up!
Brilliant intel thanks Budget only allows for a pre facelift and im into the stealth black and gold look I watched the MCN old vs new test and they seemed to suggest that the new one wasn't a massive step change on the old because the old was so good already They did mention the gearing diff (one less tooth front sprocket for the new one) The quick shifter retro fit is pretty neat though There's a few up for sale and with summer behind us me thinks a nice bike to be had for just over 3 ish?
Ive had 3 675s and I still miss all of them (one got stolen, one blew up and i binned the last one). Brilliant handling, brilliant sound and quite eye catching too. Caspian Blue, Red or Black with the gold wheels – all classics. Cheap as chips to maintain too.

£500 trip to Portimao, £500 flights and other stuff, £270 tyres, £1200 replacement engine, £350 other parts, £800 labour bill. 3 laps. 9 miles. Never seen a panigale that expensive to run
yeh you were shit out of luck except it could have been a ducati engine that blew up i suppose what i meant (and im sure you know lol) 675 Arrow can - £250 First service - £70 Big Service - £250 Carbon bits – tens of pounds Pani Termi - £1700 First Serviec £250 Big Service £600+ Carbon bits – hundreds of pounds there must be a reason why so many club racers use 675s
