An eye catching black 2 wheeler had just popped up around mid day along the east coast drive next to the beach on Sunday. Back home browsed thru the magazine and looked for the spec. Next thing on Monday afternoon this cool toy became one of my dark custom collection.
This award winning, 4 times Supersport championship, 4 consecutive years best in class black babe is designated as - Triumph Daytona 675 Triple.
What makes it more unique to me? Daytona is the only production bike in the mid-class market offering 3 cylinders engine, and I found that it is lighter and faster than iL4 but smoother and easier to ride than V2. What a nice try Triumph!!!
British made, for most people it is a con, but I reckon it is a pro. It has soul and characters. Japanese machines are big NO NO for me, but Ducati is everywhere on the street nowaday and losing its uniqueness，and MV Agusta is out of my reach at the moment.
Maintenance consideration? Why should I be worried when it is under full factory warranty for 3 years??
By the way, "God of Speed" Michael Schumacher had choosen Daytona 675 for his Euro Supersport Championship in 2008-9, and I always believe he is more than capable to make the right choice anytime. If he knows what he is doing, no doubt that I am not far behind.
Can't wait to park this British beauty side by side with her American dark custom counterpart - Harley Davidson Nightster XL1200N, to complete the picture.
Now, what is next?? May be a phantom black Ferrari 430SC would fit in the garage well。
