Just saw the interview of Triumph representative, the Daytona 675 at 7 lakh is a very awesome product in that price range, there's nothing launched in India till now to compete and beat it.

You were bang on target my friendOriginally posted by nitrosatya View PostThe UK price for Daytona 675 is 8499 pounds.
That in INR is 7,00,235.79/-
Let's see what CKD might do. Fingers crossed!
It is 7 Lakhs

I totally agree with you. But in current circumstances, Hyousung and GM are doing quite well, I don't feel GT650 deserves to be bashed. I'm amazed that an Iconic brand with rich heritage sold a ~1.60 lakh bike and it's engine got seized in run-in period, I haven't heard of any GT650R performing THAT well.Originally posted by abhimanyu31 View PostI wouldn't touch a GT650 with a barge pole leave alone call it a value for money proposition. Triumph is a iconic brand with an extremely rich heritage. Hyousung? Maybe 50 - 60 years from now (by which time I will be in my grave
).
Actually I'm against comparing the two bikes & as I said before, I don't feel GT650 deserves to be bashed. Most of the Indian bikes have quality issues.Originally posted by saipranav View Post

Things change so fast, a few months back Every Toms, Hairy, Dick was uploading articles and asking for votes to be branded as True Wanderer to get a free Non Valuable Brand\Quality bike. And now just because there are more options dissing at it.
Like it or not, and I say this as a Ninja 650R owner
1 - The GT650R, and GT650N are the ONLY products in the VFM 500+ cc category
2 - The Ninja 650R (2011) is no longer a product being sold so it has one category - The Extinct category
3 - The Ninja 650R (2012) is yet to be launched, if its launched at the same price point or is replaced totally then my point 2 is confirmed, and I would love to hate BAL-Kawasaki more than anything as it would mean even more lag in supply of spares etc
Having said that I would not buy the Hyosung for its novelty or brand, I would buy it for a different reason
I would probably love to own a Triumph for the reasons (just like) abhimanyu said!
That asides, the Daytona 675 is a new category both in India and internationally. An extra cylinder or the lack of it has its edge over an i4 or a twin for a bike of the same capacity.
PS: the royal enfield c500 is the most VFM 500cc bike in the market.
(Category is a cluster, ONE machine does not make a category)
PS: this is NOT a potshot at Vishwas. Am generally saying this in the interest of a more matured discussion towards the topic.

I assume the above prices are Ex showroom Delhi and by the time Daytona reaches Mumbai it will be OTR almost 7.75Lakhs Approx but the bike is still worth it unless Honda brings in CBR600F at a lower cost than this.Comment

Brilliant pricing(if true). Jumping in my seat with anticipation.
Time to start saving and lots of convincing at home.
P.S Is it official pricing or speculated. I don't think that daytona's price is correct.Last edited by anshuljain; 01-05-2012, 10:58 PM.Comment

What a G8 news. Have been looking for a 600cc supersport with clean papers for a long time. The the launch of Daytona 675 is a huge blessing for the biking community..Comment

Kawasaki and Hyosung also released 600cc bikes last year, clean papers guaranteed.Originally posted by umeshmenon5 View PostSpeed - (spēd) n.

Yes, These are the official pricing announced by Triumph at AE 2012.Always lurked for a bike within 6 lakhs, to be precise I4 in this budget but outcome was always a second hand bike But after listening to the price i can see my dream come true of owning SBK within a year or so though not a I4 but sounds like I4.Originally posted by anshuljain View Post
Happy Superbiking

You are not alone in that case.Originally posted by NikhilB View PostAm I the only one salivating at the Rs. 5.5L Street Triple?
But I am not only salivating............but already trying to simulate how it would feel like riding and owning one on my usual street bike
It seems like Triumph is going to be the best selling European as well as premium bike maker in India.I am so glad that this iconic company is making plans to make so many youngsters happy in India.Last edited by MACH50; 01-07-2012, 01:08 AM.Hell's Angel

Arey bhai, he meant Supersports 600. Means around 600cc bikes with power hovering around 120 bhp or so...Originally posted by ronthedon View Post
The 2 bikes you mentioned don't touch even 75 bhp. Getting me? They're Sporty tourers, not race replicas.
I Welcome Daytona & above all, Triumph with both hands...
Remember someone purchased a Grey market R6 for 8 Lacs or so (in 2007-08)... Now you're getting a legal High performance 600 for around 7 Lacs. Triumph bringing in the Good times!!
Just hope they keep more & more service centres for the future and good service quality too...---
