2012 Triumph Daytona 675 Specs and Review
 |
| 2012 Triumph Daytona 675 |
Triumph has taken the wraps off its new 2012 Triumph Daytona 675, revealing new colour schemes and cosmetic detailing. The new 2012 Triumph Daytona 675 has broken cover with just minor tweaks to take the bike through the final year before a complete overhaul in 2013.
The latest specification of Triumph Daytona 675 delivers 125PS at 12,600rpm with a class-leading 72Nm torque, making the Triumph one of the most flattering sportsbikes to ride on both the road and track, and endowing it with an addictive soundtrack only a triple can provide. The engine itself is an integral part of the overall design, with the stacked gearbox allowing for a very compact powerplant that contributes to one of the lightest and most balanced supersport bikes on the market.
With the lightest and narrowest chassis in the class, the 2012 Triumph Daytona 675 delivers outstandingly agile and intuitive handling. Fully adjustable suspension front and rear, with separate adjustment for high and low speed compression damping, gives the 2012 Triumph Daytona 675 superb composure on all surfaces, while top-of-the-range monobloc radial brake calipers up front deliver eye popping stopping power.
A full range of race inspired Triumph accessories are available for the 2012 Triumph Daytona 675, including carbon parts, Arrow slip on silencer, quickshifter and Öhlins rear suspension unit. A race kit is also available for competitors who wish to enter their Daytona 675 in supersport and superstock championships.
An all-new Daytona will appear in 2013. The 2012 Triumph Daytona 675 is on sale from September, with the price remaining at £8499 OTR.

The 2013 Triumph Trophy
In the 2012 Triumph Trophy model year, Triumph released a machine that would go head-to-head with the BMW R 1200 GS, the manufacturer from Hinkley releasing the Tiger Explorer. Powered by a 1215cc inline three, the Explorer quickly became the largest displacement Adventure bike on the market, beating the BMW R 1200 GS by a few ccs.
The liquid-cooled, 12-valve DOHC engine features ride-by-wire electronics, and produces 132 horsepower @ 8900 rpm (for comparison, BMW’s K 1600 GT & GTL produce 160 horsepower), and 89 ft. lbs. of torque @ 6450 rpm.
For 2013 models, Triumph seems to be once again going head-to-head with the Bavarian manufacturer, but this time in the luxury sport touring class. Triumph’s latest model, the Trophy, seems to be directed at BMW’s uber-luxurious and powerful sport tourers, the K 1600 GT and the K 1600 GTL.
The liquid-cooled, 12-valve DOHC engine features ride-by-wire electronics, and produces 132 horsepower @ 8900 rpm (for comparison, BMW’s K 1600 GT & GTL produce 160 horsepower), and 89 ft. lbs. of torque @ 6450 rpm.
To reach comfortable riding the 2013 Triumph Trophy is built on an aluminum twin-spar frame, with a single-sided cast aluminum alloy swingarm. Taking care of suspension up front are WP 43mm upside down forks with manually adjustable rebound damping, and 130mm travel. The SE model also features WP 43mm upside down forks, but with electronically adjustable rebound damping (sport/normal/comfort) and 127mm travel.
The Triumph Trophy rolls on cast-aluminum, five spoke wheels (17 X 3.5-inch front, 17 X 6-inch wheel), helping to keep the overall wet weight around 662 lbs. Stopping the machine are twin 320mm floating disk brakes squeezed by Nissin four-piston calipers, and a single 282mm disc out back squeezed by a two-piston sliding caliper. The Triumph Trophy and Trophy SE both feature linked ABS, which is non-switchable (linked means front brakes are partially activated by the rear brake).
Next up Triumph Tiger 800XC
This is it. This is the one. This is the next acquisition.
My brother bought a BMW F800 GS over this past summer, and he has inspired to get into some adventure touring action too.
I have been really into the idea of loading it up with some gear, hitting the road and trail, camping out, and seeing some wilderness (and other countries) in far, far away lands on a bike that is comfortable and off-road capable for long stretches and that wont leave me with numb hands, a sore ass, aching low back pain, or super tired from wind fatigue.
