First Ride: 2002 Triumph TT600
By Visordown on 12/07/2002 10:07:06
When I've mentioned the TT600, a few unkind souls have been mean to suggest it was a shame the entire remaining stock of TTs wasn't destroyed in Triumph's factory blaze. Highly out of order a suggestion as this may be, it does have a reason behind it
tight, and the brakes are excellent. The engine still sounds like it's about to blow up everywhere, but unlike older versions it doesn't. For me, the main thing counting against the TT600 is the styling. Bikes need to look special, and this thing looks

Niall's Spin - Triumph TT600 (2002-03)
By Niall Mackenzie on 08/10/2010 16:15:13
Originally released as a challenger to the supersport crown held by the CBR600 and R6, the Triumph TT600 never really lived up to it's potential

Used Review: Triumph TT600-Daytona 600-650
By Bertie Simmonds on 05/04/2008 22:01:14
Yep, it's true. Back in 1996, when Triumph first mooted a middleweight sportsbike - codenamed T806 - they looked at making a triple.
on the conservative side, with one of the colour schemes - yellow and black - being almost identical to that of the new ally-framed Honda CBR600F launched at the same time.But then things improved. The TT600's chassis and brakes attracted deserving praise (some hailed

Road Test: Real World 600s
By Jon Urry on 03/06/2003 14:54:52
If pound notes are more important than lap times these 600s offer the best compromise of race replica handling with real world practicality. New and secondhand these still top the sales podium
are secondhand as owners upgrade to newer or sportier bikes.And as for the TT600? Well the new Daytona 600 has now firmly established itself as the British firm's rival to the best Japan can offer, which has taken the pressure off the TT600. When it was launched

First Ride: Triumph Daytona 600 review
By Niall Mackenzie on 14/09/2010 12:52:38
Triumph has gone back to the drawing board and built a Japanese beater. Niall Mackenzie travelled to Spain to test the Triumph Daytona 600, and came back impressed
had sorted out its fuel injection gremlins on the original TT600 and I can honestly say I have never ridden a bad TT, either on the road or track. The engine revved hard, sounded sweet and 140mph+ was easily seen on the speedo. But it seems as though I

Niall's Spin: Triumph Daytona 675 review
By Niall Mackenzie on 17/09/2010 16:13:42
After a week in Malaysia on the Triumph Daytona 675 launch recently I was looking forward to the odd road test during the year
that includes a lap timer and gear position indicator.The TT600 and the 600 Daytona were nearly bikes. At best they were two years behind the opposition, at worst four. Not so with the 675. Apart from the lack of slipper clutch you have the full house of goodies

Road V Race - Supersport

Road and race 600 supersport bikes face-off

First Ride: 2002 Triumph Speed Four
By Bertie Simmonds on 29/03/2008 19:11:57
Picture the scene if you will. It's 2006, we're in the middle of a recession and another Government still ignores the benefits of motorcycles to the detriment of UK road users everywhere.
a bike's handling and by golly is this bike handy. Believe it. This bike will run rings around the likes of the Hornet, Fazer and the SV650 on the track and could even fry some bigger fish. The reason is the chassis - there's nothing but good old TT

First Ride: 2006 Triumph Daytona 675
By Niall Mackenzie on 20/09/2010 21:12:48
It's the one we've all been waiting for. Niall Mackenzie finds out if Triumph's new 'Urban Sports' bike delivers on the hype
deposits on the Triumph in their hundreds.I enjoyed the 600 and 650 Daytonas, and I was also one of the few journos that thought the TT600 was a bit of fun. But all three models were a fair way off rocking the Japanese. Looking back, Triumph seemed

Second chance: Triumph Daytona 600
By Jon Urry on 18/03/2008 22:32:08
Expensive new but affordable now, Jon Urry has a second look at Triumph's sporting middleweight
Kawasaki unveiled the first of the radically styled ZX-6Rs and Honda unleashed the CBR600RR. Balls.Having learnt its lesson the hard way with the dreadful TT600, Triumph put a lot more effort into the Daytona 600. The styling was radical, the chassis sorted
