It's been just over a month since Triumph formally introduced the 2024 Daytona 660 to the world. Like a lot of instances where a company has revived a well-loved model name on a bike that differs significantly from the original, the reception to the new Daytona has been somewhat mixed.
Old-school fans of the Daytona in its 765 and 955i forms have, unsurprisingly, been grumbling to varying degrees. Meanwhile, here in the year 2024, Triumph is aiming this bike at younger riders who maybe haven't been riding for decades. Riders who just want a solid, good-looking middleweight sportbike to flog around on their daily rides. Riders for whom potential track use might also be in their sights, but it's a secondary rather than a primary concern.
