Some Triumph showrooms have already opened unofficial bookings.

New Triumph Daytona 660: Engine specifications
The Daytona 660 benefits from the same 660cc, inline three-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine available with the Trident 660 and Tiger 660. However, in this case, this motor claims to provide 17 per cent more power and nine per cent more torque â" 95PS at 11,250rpm and 69Nm of torque at 8,250rpm. Not only that, over 80 per cent of the torque is usable from as low as 3,125rpm. Mated to this engine is a six-speed gearbox with assist clutch, while a bi-directional quickshifter is available as an optional extra.
The motorcycle also comes fitted with a new exhaust system, featuring a 3-in-1 header and a compact underslung silencer with a stainless steel finish to create a distinctive exhaust note. Having said that, the signature symphony of the Triumph's inline triple is also expected to be retained.
