The Triumph Daytona 675 is a great sportbike, but some riders might find it a little anemic in the power department. With no “litre bike” to speak of in the Triumph line-up, German tuners Six Monkeys have jammed a Speed Triple 1050 motor into the 675’s frame. The result is a power-packed sportbike, with looks that could kill.
Triumph only uses the 1050cc motor in three motorcycles: the Tiger, Sprint ST, and Speed Triple. Extending the 1050’s role in Triumph’s line-up seems like the logical conclusion to us, and apparently to Six Monkeys the concept is equally apparent. The obvious isn’t easy though.
Six Monkey’s had to adapt the 1050’s engine’s fuel-injection mapping and airbox, to coax out the 139hp 85.6lb•ft the Daytona 1050 makes. Wrapping the work up, is carbon fiber bodywork. If the Dayonta 1050 looks bulbous to you, you’ve got a good eye. Even with all the performance parts and carbon fiber, the Daytona powerplant shows its weight, making the bike tip the scales at 489lbs wet. We’d still flog one around the track though.
