In late 2005, I saw photos of a new bike that was supposed to revolutionize the middleweight sportbike class. With its clean lines and monotone "gentelman's graphics," I immediately fell in love with it and promptly put a deposit on a 2006 scorched yellow Daytona 675. A few months later, I was one of the first owners in Washington state and I immediately realized the wait was well worth it.
3 years go by and I decide it's time to upgrade to the updated 09 model, but it didn't come in SY. I loved the color so much, I swapped bodywork and sold my 06 with brand new black 09 fairings.
I eventually got rid of my 675 to race an SV, but I always missed my Triumph. After riding a '13R, I loved the handling and performance but I didn't love the aesthetics as much as the simpler previous model's, so this year I finally decided to make my own.
Even though the original graphite color was supposed to be a limited edition and the rarest, scorched yellow actually sold the least. Call it "baby diarrhea yellow" if you will, but it has a cult-like following of which I am a committed member. There are lots of white and black 675R's at the tracks around here, so even if mine is ugly to some, at least it's unique.
So far it's got:
Race kit harness & ECU
Manual idle adjuster
Race kit alternator
APE manual CCT
Full Ti Akrapovic
PCV + Ignition Module
BMC race filter
Pirelli SC2's
Galfer GP brake lines
Brembo Z04 pads
Rizoma brake lever guard
Lightened rear brake rotor
Catalyst upper & lower race fairings
Sharkskinz SBK tail
Zero Gravity Corsa windscreen
Attack rear sets
Attack shock linkage
Techspecs
Driven SAI block-off plates
@Ditch Doctor's SAI resistor kit
@Thatkid's captive wheel spacers
@NJcustom's carbon tank guards
GB engine covers
520 chain kit
Sato shift spindle holder
Driven fuel cap
Motoholders fairing stay
SES lock stop plate
Ohlins damper w/ Apex Mfg mounting kit
Antigravity lithium battery
Swapped red subframe for gray
