A Daytona  "R" ?   Really?  That warrants more investigation.  And then it's hard to get past the killer good looks of white body work on a red frame, or seat sub-frame in this case.

The Daytona R is supposed to be at the Milan show next month.

Now the question.  Revisit Triumph with the better suspension package but still the smaller engine or go the big balls route with the F4 or the Aprilia?

True that.  But so is a Daytona 675 R  Not to mention the F4 & the Aprilia.


And also a Streetfighter!!

It's kind of funny, everyone over on the Daytona forum are bashing Triumph for not doing anything to increase the hp of the bike, and only adding fancy bouncy and stoppy bits.      Didn't know Triumph had actually released any info about the bike, other than the leaked picture.   

another Pali crash involving motorcyclists, that's twice last month...

News report said Kailua bound on the Pali.  New photos showed scenes from either Old Pali Road or on the way up to the Pali Lookout if you came out of the tunnels townbound and had to do the right turn cut back up to the lookout. 

Good thing no fatality this time but the group had the same sort of look.  Leather vests with long sleeved T's. Dunno.

These folks didn't have exactly that look.  The ones from two weeks ago......... very likely.
