This 675 daytona r, you ask me what it is? Well, it’s a motorcycle, a fast one, they say. This Triumph Daytona 675 R, I heard them young folks talkin’ ’bout it. Sounds fancy, but I don’t know much ’bout these things. They say it’s good, reliable, but you gotta take care of it. Just like my old mule, Betsy. Gotta feed her right, keep her clean, or she won’t go nowhere.

Triumph, that’s a big name, right? This 675 daytona r is somethin’ made from them. Heard it’s a good bike. They stopped makin’ the regular 675 in 2016. Don’t know why. They say folks ain’t buyin’ them sport bikes like they used to. And them rules in Europe got tighter. Emissions, they say. Like when we had to change the way we burn coal. Times change, I guess.
Now, ’bout this 675 daytona r, I heard some folks had problems. Some talk ’bout an ABS recall. Whatever that is. Gotta go to the dealer, they say, to get it fixed. Then there’s somethin’ called a transmission pivot plate. Sounds complicated. Don’t know what that is, but if it breaks, you’re in trouble.
Some folks say they had trouble with the gears. Can’t shift down, or somethin’ broke. That ain’t good. You need them gears to work, especially when you’re goin’ fast. Like when I gotta shift Betsy into a higher gear to get up the hill. Gotta have them gears workin’ right.
- ABS Recall thing – gotta fix it at the dealer.
- Transmission thing – sounds like trouble.
- Gear problems – that ain’t good.
Heard a fella say he had two of these 675 daytona r bikes. Crashed one, he did. But he said they were good, no problems. ‘Cept for the seat bubblin’ on the first one. And somethin’ ’bout underseat heat. Don’t know what that means. Sounds hot, though. Like sittin’ too close to the stove.
Another one said his 675 daytona r was pretty reliable and comfy. That’s good. You want a bike that won’t break down and is easy on your backside. Like my old rocking chair. Gotta be comfy if you’re gonna sit for a long time.

Then there’s this one fella talkin’ ’bout his 2007 Daytona 675. He said it wouldn’t start right. Motor would turn a bit, then reset. Sounds like a headache. Like when my old radio acts up. Gotta fiddle with it to get it to work.
But then someone else chimed in and said no issues with their 675 daytona r. Except maybe a slow coolant leak. Coolant, that’s like the water you put in the radiator, right? Gotta keep that topped up or things get too hot. Like when you’re workin’ in the sun all day. Gotta have water to stay cool.
And gettin’ parts ain’t a big problem, they say. Just order them through the dealer. That’s good. Like when I need somethin’ from the general store. Just gotta put in an order. But sometimes you gotta wait. They don’t always have everything in stock. Like them special seeds I wanted last spring. Had to wait a few weeks for them to come in.
This 675 daytona r, it’s a fancy machine, I guess. Lots of folks seem to like it. But like anythin’, it’s got its quirks. Gotta know what you’re gettin’ into. Just like buyin’ a new cow. Gotta check her over real good, make sure she’s healthy and gonna give you good milk. Can’t just go by what she looks like on the outside.
These young folks, they love their fast bikes. This 675 daytona r, it’s one of them. Zoomin’ around, makin’ all that noise. Reminds me of when I was young, runnin’ through the fields, no care in the world. But now I’m old, I prefer a slow walk, enjoyin’ the scenery. Guess everyone’s got their own way of enjoyin’ life.

So, this 675 daytona r, is it good? I reckon it is, for those who like that sort of thing. Just gotta take care of it, like anythin’ else. And be prepared for some problems, maybe. Nothin’s perfect, not even this fancy motorcycle. Just like life, ain’t it? Full of ups and downs. Gotta take the good with the bad, I always say.
But hey, what do I know? I’m just an old lady who’s seen a lot of things come and go. This 675 daytona r, it’s just another one of them. It’ll have its time, then somethin’ new will come along. That’s just the way of the world. Always changin’, always movin’ forward. Like the river, always flowin’, never stoppin’.
So if you are thinkin’ gettin’ this Triumph Daytona 675 R. You better know what you are doin’. This ain’t no bicycle. This is a serious machine. You need know how to ride. And you need be careful. Don’t want end up like that fella who crashed his. That ain’t no good. No good at all.
Well, I guess that’s all I gotta say ’bout this 675 daytona r. It’s a motorcycle. It’s fast. It’s got its problems, maybe. But it’s also pretty good, they say. Just like everythin’ else in this world. Nothin’s perfect. But somethin’s are pretty darn good.
