Horsepower Triumph Daytona 675R: 108.5 bhp @ 12,500 rpm MV Agusta F3: 112.0 bhp @ 14,500 rpm Torque Triumph Daytona 675R: 48.8 lb.-ft @ 10,200 rpm MV Agusta F3: 47.0 lb.-ft @ 10,600 rpm The lump in the MV's horsepower curve is the oversquare bore/stroke and aggressive cams talking. From the saddle, the power curve is almost reminiscent of a two-stroke engine. It makes the MV a thrill to ride at around 10,000 rpm, but the power was difficult to use with precision. The Trumpet’s mill looks as good on paper as it feels to ride, with fairly linear power and a fat torque curve. The British triple produces within 1 hp of peak over a 1000 rpm span, and more than 48 lb.-ft of torque for a 1700 rpm span. That makes it more fun to ride on the street and track. Ergos The reach to the F3’s bars is only slightly longer, but that’s not what you remember. The church-pew seat and gout of heat issuing from the fairing leave a much stronger impression.

The 675R has an aggressive riding position, but a soft seat and decent wind protection make it a tolerable all-day bike, especially for shorter riders.
