for a 2006 Scorched Yellow Triumph Daytona 675 today.
I went down to the local Triumph/BMW Dealer, and looked at their bikes this afternoon. Unfortunately, there are some people ahead of me on the list, and they only order so many 675's, so it may be as long as 8-10 weeks before I get mine. I've looked at a ton of different bikes, and this one is definitely the bike for me.

damn thats nice. :thumb:
Grats man beautiful bike :thumb:
The two dealers here told me that the list is already backed up till end of Feb begining of March.
I never understood that...
Why have a list?
If someone is gonna pay everything UPFRONT, why must they still wait that long?
Basically you go in a dealer and say I want a 675 well there are only so many available. So most dealers are asking for downpayments ( non-refundabel ). And put you on a list. When your time comes up then you get your bike. Doest matter if you have the cash or not because most people that are buying the 675 already have the finacing done or have the cash.
What if you pay up front IN FULL?
Wouldn't you get your bike faster? Paying in full gaurantees the dealer that you ARE getting one.
Would you put $500 down on a bike not knowing if you would be able to get finaced for it?
Good point. So putting a non-refundable deposit for a bike they don't have is basically 100% claiming the bike...
I got it. :thumb:

You know this whole thing going back and forth would have been faster in chat or a phone call :laugh:
That whole conversation only took 34 minutes (11:53pm - 12:27am) :laugh:
why is everyone rocking the gold when the red is much better looking in person?

The red does look good, but it's the most common color for the '06 D675. Graphite is the least common, but I like the Yellow better.
Also, all my gear is yellow and black anyway :icon_mrgreen:
red is the most common? not in these parts...I've seen TONS of gold, one grey and NO red ones. Back when I was looking at the d600 the yellow was the hot color but once I saw the red I knew....now I know I wanted HONDA red...LOL...
my roommates have an '04 R1 and an '06 R6, and I've been riding their old school Seca II. We go riding all the time, and see tons of other bikes, some of which like to join up with us.. but I have never seen a 675 on the street.

Yama, you've posted that before. Was it yours?
I really REALLY like the Speed Triples and am considering getting one over the Z1000 depending on if they're availible.
around here you see tons of the red ones then the yellows the least common in the graphite (sp?).
interesting, must be a regional thing. cool for you though..when do they expect delivery?

hmm..
there are some people ahead of me on "the list", and the dealer here primarily gets the red 675, then yellow, then grey. It cost me $500 to get on the list, and I should have my bike by mid October at the latest.
I dunno if I can wait that long! :cry:
Are they offering the pre-ordered 675 in the other Triumph colors? Not sure if it's true or not but I heard last year they allowed it. Someone told me they got a white one?

From what I have heard, only Triumph employees get that kind of color choice. And for 2007, blue and black are likely to be a part of the line-up. All us regular dudes only get red, yellow, or grey to choose from.
Went into a triumph dealer the other day so my dad could look at the Sprint ST. They had probably 20-30 675's in colour order lined around the show room packed together. We asked the salesman about em' and he said they had sold every single 675 in the showroom and most of those are ones they have ordered in prebuilt and are all in the queue to be preped before delivery. He said there has been a massive storm to buy that bike since it came out. We couldn't believe it - havn't seen anything like it before. As for the Sprint dad changed his mind after the test ride on that and on a Yam FJR1300. (think its 1300) He's selling his BMW for the FJR now.

Wierd. The only one I have actually seen in real life was this last weekend at Newcomb's. It was red. The lines of that bike are awesome. I was going to ask the owner if I could sit on it, but he didn't stop. :(
Engle Motors on 23rd, I assume? I was in there the other day. Actually a couple months ago. The only 675 they had was red. I've only seen red ones in KC. Come to think of it, I've seen only one in KC. I've seen more Brutle 910's and 999 and F1000's than I have seen 675's.
Great choice. I like the butterscortch color.
We'll have to meet up and hit some twisties when you get it. :thumb:

Yeah it was Engle Motors. It was my first time there, the salesman there was awesome. He was very calm, cool, and collect. He seemed like he would make for a good butler. He also gave my friend and I a tour of the shop/service area.
It was a long drive home on 435 with traffic and such, (I'm in Overland Park).
Yeah we'll definitely have to go riding! Where are the twisties anyhow? All I've got in my area are some clover-leaf entrance/exit ramps.
Waiting for this bike is contributing to sleepless nights.. and I may not get it until mid-to-late-October! :cry:

yeah, definitely nice lines on it. a couple of scs members have the gold one. and I've seen a few up in ach that were gold also. I dont think I've yet seen a red one actually out on the road. I also saw one or two grey ones on upper 9 mile...
I saw a black one...looked like a Senne MV. They all leave me feeling kind of "ehhh" but that black one was straight sex...not like normal sex, either...like sex with chicks.

I'll show you some pretty fun roads. My favorite is 5 highway north to Leavenrworth, KS. You take 435 north past the Kansas Speedway, get off at Walcott exit and go west to the T in the road, then right and it T's again at 5 Highway and Walcott. Just jump on 5 and go. There is one stop sign (over a hill, be careful) on 5. Go right. Take the twistie to Leavenworth and turn around and run it back. It is a blast. Just pm when you get your bike and I can meet you somewhere.

I used to think the same way, but I've been riding a friends' old Yamaha Seca II the last few weeks, and when runnin 75-80mph on the highway, the difference that fairing makes vs my old 97 naked GS is incredible.

I'll let ya know when I get the bike, and hopefully it won't be too cold, however I rode all through last winter (provided the roads were clear).
