Description[]
In 2000, Triumph Motorcycles of the UK made its foray into the arena of inline-4-cylinder 600cc bikes, once the dominion of the Japanese. The highly regarded vanguard of that advance, the TT600, was built similarly to the Japanese machines in general design, with a stepped seat and a liquid-cooled, dual-overhead-cam engine set in a twin-spar aluminium frame. Regrettably, there were undeniable limitations to its unperfected fuel injection system.
Triumph however showed great progress in 2003 with its Daytona 600. built on the TT600 platform but lightened throughout, the styling was completely changed, with a rear seat cover that emphasised its raciness. A Keihin twin-butterfly fuel injection device was added and intake efficiency improved 15% by moving the ram air intake ducts from both sides of the fairing to under front center, the area of highest air pressure. Triumph then formed a racing team to enter the British Motorcycle Championships and challenge the bikes from Japan, and scorched its rival supersports bikes to capture the 2003 Isle of Man TT.
In addition, the Daytona 600 represented a break from the "racer-replica" craze then sweeping Japan. Triumph employed a camshaft profile that gave their factory-built bikes rich mid-range r.p.m. power for street riding, along with a more practical nature that didn't rely on super-high revs. In consideration of riding on rough public roads, the riding position and suspension settings they selected also offered greater comfort in comparison with Japanese models.
Together with its expanded displacement obtained through an increase in stroke, the 2005 model Daytona 650 displays a further enhanced design that better accommodates the average rider of 600cc class bikes, and its ability to maintain a constant pace at lower rpm's is indeed more realistic than supersports motorbikes made in Japan.
