Bike: Caspian Blue '11 Daytona 675 (picked it up middle of May this year) Mods so far: - shorty Triumph levers - Arrow slip-on (db killer removed) - Triumph quick shifter - Evo-tech tail tidy - Carbon heatshield - Carbon rear hugger (Power bronze style) - Twinlight Driver 3 - GB racing crash bungs (frame, F&R bobbins, generator cover) - tinted Triumph aero screen - Öhlins TTX36 rear shock (new Triumph 675R unit) On order: - Slikdesigns extend-able mirrors To date I've covered around 800 miles during my first month of ownership and apart from the levers, QS + slip-on everything else has been DIY fitted . The last mod I want to make right now is to re-valve the front shocks + new springs for F&R to balance the bike and to get the suspension setup for my weight. In terms of riding I took the bike to Silverstone a couple of weeks back for California Superbikes Level 2 which was simply a revelation. I did level one on my previous bike (Honda VFR Vtec) and compared to that the 675 really did fly . Overall the chassis was cool other than I found the front end pushing wide when on the power early....nothing mega but noticeable. I did the Nürburgring with my bike club (TVAM) on my VFR and I'd REALLY like to throw the 675 around there if / when I get the chance. If there's any one else kicking around the Bucks area I may well see you out there - I'm pretty close to Hughenden Triumph and if you know where that is you no doubt know how lovely the roads are around there too :mrgreen: Anyway, that's my Triumph ownership so far and my "Hi, this is me" type thread thing Here's a pic of the old VFR and the 675 doing their respective "things" around Silverstone: Clicky 1 Clicky 2
Welcome along fella, haven't wasted ant time putting your own touches on the bike very nice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
@ redmist - thanks very much :mrgreen: @ T_daytona675 - well, I used to ride my VFR 365 days a year and only really did the mods that made "sense". Full fork revalve + custom rear shock transformed the bike but only after I'd had it 3 years!! The 675 is my first brand new bike and from the off I decided to get it to fit me straight away. It's not cheap but I figured all the bolts / nuts would be easier to undo now rather than later, and of course it means I get the most smiles from my investment for the duration of my ownership!! I intend to keep the bike a few years as it's a play thing only....unlike my VFR on which I clocked up 40,000 miles myself (58,000 total) in well under 4 years !! @ BigPete - cheers buddy
Hiya, welcome along. I don't even know what some of that stuff is hehe! The blue is stunning! Will have a nose at your clickies later. Enjoy the site, have fun
