2003 Triumph reviews

I would like to let people know what a pleasure it is to own and ride the 2004 T100 I own a 70 Triumph and bought a 2002 America and when it was more fun to ride the 70 I sold the America that feet forward riding is not for me. I recommend the T100 that just likes to hop on and go it looks great handles great and with the D&D Exhaust is sounds great as well. Ride it you will like it! Show less

Well, what can I say. I agree fully with everyone else's reviews. This bike screams. The sound of the engine at the higher revs makes the blood boil and makes want to twist the wrist every time from a stoplight. The bike handles like a dream, through corners, straight lines, anything. I'm a big guy and had trouble finding a 600 machine that I felt comfortable on, I finally found it (not to mention the incredible styling from the Brits). So, if your a big guy, don't worry you to can ride a 600. Who needs any bigger anyways, 155 mph will get your license taken away just about anywhere! This bike is THE bike if you are in the market for a super machine, hands down the best on the road. Bring on the other bikes, no one will survive!!!! Show less

In a nutshell: this is the only motivation to ride a bike and if you are going to ride only one-- make it this one. It is reassuringly "on your side" and is capable of taking a complete novice all the way through to knee-down. In terms of handling, you really feel appreciate the road setup. Have heard about "tank slap" but never know a rider to provoke such things from this bike-- it's that tuned. Have heard critics bemoan about poor mid-range: I'd say, "adjust to the Daytona's riding style" -- in that, if you want raw performance at low speeds: adjust the revs accordingly. Admittedly, the beast only starts to wake up between 8,000 to 10,000 rpm ... but when it does: what a sweet note she produces. Show less

I took the class then bought this as a first bike. I love it. It's not fast enough to get myself in trouble, but up here in the mountains it does a great job getting my big butt up and running through the twisties. Everyone that's seen it loves it, especially after I got rid of the crappy stock pipes and got the Triumph off roads. The seat is comfortable enough for a couple of hours, but you get lead butt after that unless you take a break. It's honestly the best purchase I've made in a long time, and it is only getting better now as I add new stuff. Show less

I have been away from street bikes since my 1994 Kawasaki ZX6, but have been riding dirt on my ATK 605 for several years and other street and dirt bikes many years before that. I decided to jump back into the street scene headfirst. I have had a love affair with Triumph's since I saw my first 750 Tiger and Trident, too many years ago. I looked at everything from Ducati's to Yamaha's. But kept coming back to the Speed 3. I am happy I did. It is AWESOME in every way (except for the mirrors, I like my shoulders but don't like to look at them all the time) Just look at the reviews on the Internet and you will see what I mean. And last but not least is the incredible sound coming from this thing; it is unreal, sounds like a Porsche on steroids. Show less

Since I bought my Daytona in June 03 I haven't looked back! I looked around all Spring at the different bikes (Honda, Yamaha, etc) and I think that this is the best looking and best handling 600 on the road. I have gotten more compliments on this bike than I can count. Being 6'1" this is extremely comfortable and easy on the wrists. I have even found that the Daytona 600 is a more comfortable on long distance rides than the Speed Triple. I am extremely happy with my decision on the Daytona and I can't wait for spring so I can take it out of storage and get it back on the road! Show less

The Bike has a great look to it. It rides smooth. I personally recommend adding additional things to it like footrest, louder pipes and of course lowering the suspension gives it a great chopper look. Show less

I picked up a used 2003 America last fall and have no regrets at all. It has $1700.00 in options the previous owner had installed which made my decision to buy this ride even easier. The bike runs great and is very comfortable and handle's very well in the mountain roads of Colo. If anyone is looking for different pipes they also have a nice selection of aftermarket parts available. Ride safe Show less

I have to concur with all the reviews I see here so far. The purchase of my racing yellow lust rocket was back in September. Added a factory stainless pipe with a power commander and dyno tune. I love hitting the corners when the rpms are 8+ giving me all the power my little heart desires. I think I ride regularly and I can say I have never seen another Daytona 600 out there. It is generally a Yamaha, Kawasaki, or Honda going the other way. Besides every time I walk out to my garage it always puts a smile on my face. Show less

I was never even vaguely inspired to buy a bike until I saw the America! I love it! It looks and handles great! I do, however, have a couple of beefs. It's too quiet. I am considering louder pipes. I'm looking for something in an aftermarket if anyone has any suggestions. The other thing is it revs high on the highway. I have recently learned there is a 18 and a 19 tooth front sprocket available. That should make it more tolerable on long trips. However, this is to be expected from a 790cc engine. But overall, the bike is a-one! There's nothing that gives me more pleasure than going into the Harley dealer and coming out to find a small crowd around my bike! Show less
