2009 is proving to be an exciting year for the second generation Daytona 675. The Press Launch hosted in Cartagena, Spain was a smashing success with road test editors from all over the world raving about the all new Daytona. But don’t take our word for it, on sale right now are the latest issues of Cycle World, Motorcyclist and RoadRacing World.  Each of these outstanding magazines put the Daytona through its paces in Spain and they all have great things to say about our bike. We strongly suggest you pick up a copy of all three issues this month and devour every word.

Don't let the same great looks fool you

Make no mistake about it.  This is no minor styling facelift to an existing bike. The second generation Daytona benefits from almost a hundred technical updates. It’s lighter, faster, stops better and is more powerful than the original 675. The suspension improvements alone are enough to consider an upgrade.  With new high and low speed damping control from the fully adjustable front forks and rear shock, the feedback is laser sharp and skilled riders will immediately notice the difference in performance on the new 2009. Other improvements include:

• 3hp power increase to 126hp
