The R6 is better because its an R6. The Triumph is just a Triumph, enough said!

It depends what you want from your bike. I've ridden both and I own a 675. The daytona is a much better road bike, when i rode the r6 Adam p lead the way on my daytona and i stuggled to keep up because i had to be sure i was in just the right gear before i overtook, where on the tona you knock it down one and you go.
Then engine of the r6 felt much like my hornet no go below 5k, and a lump at the top end. But the r6 had less in the middle and a huge lump of go at the top. So a less road friendly biek than both my hornet and D675.
In conclusion if you wnat a pure track bike for top end thrills buy an r6. if you want a sports bike that you can use on teh road (and is also faster on track) buy a D675.
Just one thing, the R6 is the best selling bike so far this year. Where as there are only 1000 675s for this country in 2006. So if you dont want to be seeing another one round every bendy bu the 675!

If it was my money, I'd get the triumph no question (preferably in graphite).

R6 was Bike magazine bike of the year, so it might be good, but it'll also be common as muck.

does the trimuph not having a slipper clutch mean any thing? is the 675 lump a 3 cylinder kawasaki lump?

Another thing about the R6 is that it realy needs a stearing dampner, it slaps more than an angry housewife! (Thats how the dealer described it!) the 675 comes with one as standard.

so the trimuph has a better frame better engine and handerling? so the only thing the r6 has going for it is that it looks slightly better

Both good.

But be jingoistic! Buy British! Buy Triumph!

The new R6 didn't seem very quick at Snetterton the other day. There were two in my group and I outdragged them both at some point during the day. I'm not sure if the R6 riders were really pants or not but my bike done them pretty easily.

yeah i saw the damper today fitted at the bottom of the fairing

triumph wot use is an r6 on the road? and a triumph beats the r6 on the track so you do the math.

I would choose a revvy bike with less low down power for fun on the road. I have chosen a very bland engined race bike with relatively lots of low down torque*.

if you are thinking of getting either, you should test ride both.
The only reason I can think of for getting a brand new bike, is when its a brand new model like the 675, as i suspect the 06 r6 will be quite similar to the 05 r6.

Hi

Tend to agree with G that peakier engines are more fun. However not sure that the D675 is going to have a bland power delivery, and not sure that the difference between it and the R6 is really significient.

id definitely take the r6 after seeing the triumph in person
the quality of the finish is very poor, looks like it will rot and the paint and lacquer is badly applied
looks uber cheap(the red one anyway)
even BIKE magazine mentioned the poor finish
and the track times were becasue the triumph has proper tyres
i just wouldnt trust triumph with my money
