As spring approaches in the northern hemisphere, motorcycling this season is looking exciting as consumers are spoiled for choice with the bikes on offer. If you’re in the market for a new motorcycle, unless you’re a die-hard fan of a particular brand, quite frankly we don’t know how you’re going to choose. Here are more pics of the 2010 Triumph Daytona 675 SE, although it has already been criticised for its less elegant graphics than previous models.

The Triumph Daytona 675 SE for 2010 has a few new features including carbonfibre elements, racing brakes and clutch, and fully adjustable suspension. It will cost about 11,840 euros (about 250 more than the standard version) and will be produced in a limited edition only.

Here’s a gallery dedicated to the new 2010 Daytona 675 SE. The livery is the same as the 2009 Daytona 675: Pearl White and Sparkle Blue, while new graphics appear, along with a white line around the black wheels for a more aggressive look. The “racing” brakes and clutch have been developed from the Supersport Daytona 675 version, and are included on this 2010 special edition.

Carbonfibre appears under the tail part of the bike to separate the seat from the exhaust, and more carbon finishes can be found at the front ‘cockpit’ and the rear mudguard. Suspension is fully adjustable, with setting changes permitted both at low and high speeds. The 675cc engine has nearly 128 hp at 12,600 rpm, which is something to compete with.

The 2010 Daytona 675 SE will be produced in a limited series and will cost about 11,840 euros. That’s 250 euros more than the standard version. A long list of accessories is available with everything from carbonfibre parts to racing pedals on offer. Other features available are the Quickshifter electronic shift, the Arrows exhaust and Ohlins suspension.

Before the Tourist Trophy kicked off, MCN had a little ride around the Isle of Man to elect the sports bike of the year, 2009. In a test ride, it compared the KTM RC8 R, the Yamaha YZF-R1, the Aprilia RSV4 and the Triumph Daytona 675 SE.

In a previous test, MCN had voted the Yamaha R1 above the Aprilia RSV4 for its road versatility, though there were questions about whether the Aprilia would come in ahead of the R1 for track use.

While the Aprilia RSV4 has been a successful bike so far (and it’s only at the beginning of its career), according to MCN, the Daytona 675 Special Edition can be voted best sports bike for its reduced price tag. All the bikes have won something in MCN’s various tests so far, but the Triumph 675 victory may seem a little forced, unless you’re someone focusing on price. And if you are, at nearly half the cost of Aprilia, the Triumph makes a good case for itself. See the video for more.

Triumph is presenting its 2009 special version of the Daytona 675. The white-blue livery is new for the Daytona 675 SE, showing off its sleek and agressive lines.

The engine is the same as the standard version: a three cylinder unit at 128 hp, 12,600 rpm. Pearl White is the base colour for the bike, while Sparkle Blue is the colour used to emphasise the alluminium chassis.

Pricing and availability is still to be confirmed.
