ya know what, mv hasn’t revealed quite everything about this bike. where’s the intermediate gear to change the direction of the power flow…? in the primary…? the cassette transmission…? have they found a clever way to combine the balancer shaft with an intermediate shaft…? inquiring minds thought they didn’t want to know… but they do.

no there wouldn’t be. emphasis on the word “eventually”. triumph is hip to our devaluing ways. again, we can’t be given things all at once. hinkley knows if they release something at 9am…? the sport segment will have it devalued by 5pm. it will likely be a staggered release same as the 2012 R version of the “speedy triple” that was updated for 2011.

Valentino and Jeremy beg to differ. Rossi misses the crank he used to beat the Hondas. I’m so glad to see something different than I4s. Triumphs ruled the roost on perfect sized streetbikes. I REALLY hated what Harley did to Buell but Castiglionni played Harley like a fiddle and got this company on it’s feet and I hope it succeeds. I bet it sounds great, looks sexy, and goes VERY well. Their 4s are neat but are too Japanese for me. They’re not anything but great, but I always root for the underdog.

There has been no mention of an “R” model for the 2013 model thus far.

he shoots – he scores –

Nice one Zore – The truth has no agenda

The Triumph 675 is better than the 600s all the way!

Josh B, I’m as anxious as anyone about this bike and wonder if it will compete favorably with the Daytona 675. It certainly looks better to my eyes (no surprise there) and has the benefit of knowing exactly what the current Daytona is/is not, so I’d expect a better machine. I wouldn’t go so far as to suggest the 2013 Daytona will “blow this thing away” since the Brits haven’t usually been able to design a machine quite this integrated, but we’ll see.

Soooo… I don’t get it… This MV ends up only having 2 hp more than the Triumph Daytona 675R, yet has a dry weight 24 pounds MORE and costs ~$350 more??? How is this a success and in any way what was promised??? Seems like a bit of a fail to me… Though for an MV, the price is pretty good — and since it is an MV, it will sell like hotcakes since image is everything, right? I am willing to bet the 2013 Daytona will blow this thing away.

Bike does look cool, I’d buy it just for that. My ’03 636 has adequate power though…and I just came off owning a new ’08 ZX-10R for a couple years. I have the money, just don’t have the desire or the need to have the coolest bike at bike nights anymore and living 3.5 hours from the nearest track doesn’t help.
