The 675cc, liquid-cooled power unit is extremely compact, featuring a Keihin fuel injection system and a stacked six-speed close ratio gearbox. The standard exhaust features an efficient underseat end-can and uses a secondary valve to boost low down torque. Peak power of 123bhp is delivered at 12,500rpm, with 53ft.lbf torque at 11,750rpm.

The Daytona 675’s aluminium frame is fabricated with open-back cast spars which wrap over the top of the motor, accentuating the benefits of the narrow three-cylinder design. Top quality fully adjustable Kayaba 41mm upside down forks and a fully adjustable piggyback reservoir rear shock take care of the suspension.

A radial master cylinder and twin radial four-piston calipers work on the front floating 308mm discs, matched by a 220mm rear disc and single piston caliper. The wheels are a lightweight five-spoke design.

A programmable gear change indicator illuminates seven LEDs to let you know the perfect point at which to change up for optimum performance: You can program in both the engine speed and the illumination sequence. The LCD panel also tells you which gear you are in at all times.

The stylish twin projector beam front headlights have been updated for 2008 and now use new-style lenses in the projectors, changing the light distribution to give an excellent spread of light. Seat height is 825mm, fuel capacity is 17.4 litres (3.8 gal).

Colour options for the Daytona 675 are Jet Black and Neon Blue, both new for 2008, which arrive alongside the popular Tornado Red option. Also new are the bigger, bolder decals adorning the bodywork.
