Curious as to how some can judge the color when it isn’t even an actual picture, much less something you have seen in person…
I think the new MV is beautiful, but the 675 comes up as the better street bike in every test I’ve seen. I’m glad that Triumph has the cajones to go with something different rather than focus group approved colors.

Not from the road test comparisons I have read. As one of the UK testers said – “Why pay a lot more for a bike that feels unfinished, poorly mannered, and only works better than the Triumph in one place – the track?”

Each to their own – but that colour looks awesome!

Picture probably doesn’t show the color very well, but, yes, the MV F3 will make selling the current Daytona more difficult, as the styling (to my eyes anyway) is on another plateau entirely.

All depends on the metalflake. Lots o’ flake=awesome. No flake=puke.

Color notwithstanding, the 675 is supposed to be one of the best sportbikes ever but (rightly) small. Makes me wish I were ~6″ shorter..

Can’t tell from the photos if I like the color, but it is definitely a unique alternative to the boring primary colors that perennially grace the Japanese alternatives. Probably won’t see anything else like it (from a factory or custom) on the weekend ride.

Anyone know of any rumors about the 2013 model? Or are we all in the dark…

Nice bike.. “Sulphur Yellow” color is a big mistake.. Ducati made this mistake with the Streetfighter too..
