EBR 1190RX vs Triumph Daytona 675R
Question
Trying to decide on which bike to get next. I totaled my R6S. Highsided it on a bad road. I walked away with no injuries. But for my next one. I’m down to these two. Need some advice and opinions. EBR 1190RX or Triumph Daytona 675R.

No replacement for displacement:) 1190 bro
I’d honestly try to come to any track event you were at if you got the EBR just to hear it wound up. Sure, parts are going to be a bastard to track down when needed…. But, man. We have one guy that brings his 1190RX to our ZARS trackdays, and even with the stock exhaust that thing sounds the tits at WOT when he gets on it. Ducati twin-like sound, yet different.
That Rotax motor is a SOLID design. Very similar to the Aprilia Mille and RSVR line. Buell enthusiast will keep parts around for years.
Good to hear. Saw one guy a little further down that seems to be stock piling parts for fellow EBR owners. I think if the OP goes with the 1190RX, he’ll be in good hands. Not to take anything away from the 675/R….but you and I have the same philosophy when it comes to ‘bikes that speak to your soul’….so EBR wins that for me between the two, hands down.
I agree but I do love the Cam gear whine if that triple
can’t handle a 600….try a 250
Daytona my first was a 05 955i and it was a beast. The 675r is bad add
EBR hands down.
Good luck with that ebr… Finding parts and shit..
They are still making parts and share a ton with the 1125. Parts are abundant.
Where do you plan on getting parts for that EBR?
From ebr. Still making them. And shared from Harley 1125
Triumph will grenade. 1190 will get near 200 hp.
The newest gen 675r is fine. Beat the shit out of mine.
That 675 is a beast my brother has one and I’ve watched it drag 750s and keep up with 1ks
LoL ok
Wouldn’t recommend the ebr sadly. I’ll never buy a bike ever again when they’re not in business anymore
You fucking high? daytona all dat
Triumph has more parts backing, and R&D, plus the r model has the QS and ohlins, and carbon goodies. I havnt looked back from a liter bike since I got the Daytona.
EBR is faster, parts are still being made and they have plenty in stock.
EBR sucks hard to get service and parts for it . Triumph sucks as well, Electrical issues , charging mainly . Handles great though and power is awesome, but like i said before electrical iissues
Had zero issues with mine newer gen is great
Here we go, good for you , but the 5 i have in my shop right now for charging issues are not yours . So i guess its not your turn yet .
Richard Carmona 2013+?
The pre 13’s had issues, haven’t seen a single 13+ with stator issues
Charging issue is mainly on pre-2013 triumphs.
Ebr is no longer in business go Daytona
As someone who has ridden both and sold both, I would never buy an EBR. If you are looking for a Daytona get a R that is a 2013 or later. The motor was beefed up to bullet proof status and all of the charging issues that Richard Carmona talks about were fixed. It is my bike of choice and I have Panigales (959, 1299) to choose from.
Explanation?
DUFF, I work at a shop and we sell Ducati and Triumph. We were one of the first EBR dealers back in 2014. I have played with all of them on the street and track. The Daytona R was my bike of choice and the one I always took to the track if I could, but the new Street Triple RS is the best bike I’ve ever ridden. Here I am at Homestead raceway in Miami back in February before the new STRS was released for sale.

That ebr looks like a Buel frame
EBR, no doubt. I love mine. And when you need to find parts, I’m your guy, as I will either have it or help you find it, as this is what I do for a living. There are nearly as many of each part left over as there were bikes produced. So even when EBR eventually stops selling them, someone else will have them sitting on a shelf, waiting for a buyer.
You really want someone to potentially total an ebr like they did an r6? LOL Rather see the Daytona go down,
It’s true that a blind recommendation is a bad idea, without knowing the person making the decision. But since I doubt his mind will be made up by what I have to say, I figure I might as well put in my 2 cents for others to read to have a better understanding and appreciation for the brand.
Good logic. At least the words put there for a seasoned rider looking.
Daytona, EBR be nice for the Americaness but down the road, they’re shacking at times and you may never be able to find parts for it eventually
How is this your final 2?!?!? They’re two completely different bikes!!! Lol
