Wow great to hear from you guys re bikes!
The 675 Triple is a brand new bike. Their has been huge anticipation for it and the very first ones are just being delivered now.
More specifically, the DAYTONA 675 Triple.
According to the buzz and new reviews, it is a groundbreaking sports bike, surprisingly small and narrow, and gets around tracks within tiny fractions of seconds distance only behind Yamahas new, screaming R6.
But of course with a lot more personality and style, the howl of a triple, and more torque lower down in the rev range.

I am disappointed that they have dropped the classic "Racing Yellow" and replaced it with a metallic, golden "scorched yellow", but this will be my third Triumph Daytona and I have always had yellow.
Thinking I might have a custom shop respray it in Racing Yellow for me or at least jazz it up a bitm perhaps with a bit of Ducatiesque white on the tail.
Marco I agree that you dont really need the radar in the City, although once in a blue moon I believe there are traps on the FDR or Harlem River Drive, where you can easily hit 100 MPH zooming down to midtown in the morning.
More importantly, I need it for the relentless radar traps on the Palisades Parkway and Route 17.
On a slow day, I will see at least two cars pulled over for speeding during rush hour, particularly towards the end of the month.
It is such a shameless money machine that I have no compunction about declaring war with detectors and hope to integrate at least one, permanently onto the new bike.
The Speed Triple?
I prefer the more raw, naked speed Triples from the mid 90s which to my eyes are gorgeous classic bikes. Looked very cool in black and also the dull orange.
The newer ones are also very good bikes, but I didnt like the exposed frames or the bug eye headlights as much.
Good luck, ride safely.
