The 675 proved to be remarkably light, nimble and powerful; at a maximum of 128 bhp it was also very quick, and it was very successful against the Japanese 600 cc competition.

In 2016, Triumph ceased production of the base model Daytona 675 citing diminishing demand for super sport bikes and increasingly strict European emission standards.

[2][3] Triumph filed a new trademark for the Daytona, fuelling rumors that there may be a future version sporting the new 765 cc engine.

So Triumph decided to manufacture a bike closer to its traditional values, making the crucial technical decision to adopt a three-cylinder power plant, instead of a four-cylinder as in the TT600.

This new configuration exhibited better performance than the original Daytona 600, forming a basis to compare against competitive bikes such as the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R and Honda CBR600RR.

Market research groups made up of a variety of different classes of sportbike riders chose the latter design of bike which was refined and adopted for production.

Silky, compact handling, allied to kick-ass engine power and a howling exhaust note, make the Triumph Daytona 675 a real winner on the road, or track.

Although a mechanical fault prevented the 675 from completing the test, the Triumph had till then consistently outpaced the more powerful Suzuki, averaging 0.7 seconds a lap faster.

(It later transpired that the 675's engine failure was down to a broken valve, a result of incorrect servicing)[9] As the TT 600 morphed through the Daytona 600, 650, and finally became the 675, it produced considerable interest and more privateers entered AMA and regional events.

This changed in 2008 when MAP Embassy Racing struck a deal with Triumph,[10] and entered the 2008 British Supersport Championship.

During the development phase, Triumph made representations to the Isle of Man TT for a 675 triple to race in the 600 class.

The Triumph Daytona 675 faces a different set of rules and restrictions when it competes in American Motorcycle Racing events.

In their competition in Moto GT the team of Mark Crozier and Phil Caudill scored with a first-place finish at Barber Motorsports Park.

The Augusta Triumph team went on to win the AMA Pro Moto GT1 season championship with one race remaining on the calendar.

[14] Triumph also offered a 2010 Special Edition (SE) Daytona 675 with a Pearl White paint scheme on the bodywork, blue frame, adjustable levers and carbon fiber infill panels.

The 2011 Daytona 675 Special Edition has the same Pearl White bodywork and Blue frame as the 2010 model, but also included as standard carbon fiber replacements for the cockpit infill panels, exhaust heat shield, exhaust cap, and rear hugger as well as Triumph's aftermarket adjustable levers.

The 675R has carbon fiber front mudguard, rear hugger, exhaust cap, heat shield, and cockpit infill panels.

Other changes include a fuel gauge and a side-mounted exhaust instead of the underseat setup from previous models and rear Brembo brakes on the Standard 675.
