Getting straight to the point, the 2011 Daytona 675R will reportedly be priced at $11,995, just $1,496 more than the non-R triple variant. However, purchasing the ‘R’ components separately, would have taken at least $3,960 out of your pocket.
We’ll remind you that the new 675R keeps the engine of the standard 675, while getting improved suspension, brakes and bodywork.
The middleweight supersport machine therefore uses 43mm NIX30 forks, usually only found on the racetrack or ultra-exotic Italian machines, and a MotoGP developed TTX36 rear suspension unit. Brembo has added radially-mounted monoblock calipers and radial master cylinder.
Further track-spec items fitted as standard on the Daytona 675R include a standard-fit quickshifter and a host of carbon fiber bodywork, including hugger, silencer heat shield and front mudguard. The Daytona 675R also uses the Daytona 675’s comprehensive instrumentation, which includes a lap timer and programmable gear change lights.
As we said, the Daytona 675R is identical to the standard Daytona 675 from the mechanical point of view, which means it delivers 125 hp at 12,600rpm and 72Nm (53 lb.ft.) of torque.
Visually, the iconic gold Ohlins suspension units join the sporty new graphics that include a unique Triumph tank script and a special color scheme. The Crystal White bodywork is contrasted with a race style black belly pan and distinctive red subframe.
