If you go to Triumph’s website, you will notice that the Daytona 675 is missing from the lineup. But, where’s it gone? The short answer is that like a multitude of models before it, the Daytona 675 has become a victim of Euro 4 homologation.

Euro 4 drastically reduces the acceptable levels of emissions and noise from internal combustion engines, and has forced many motorcycle manufacturers to go back to the drawing board. That’s not all though, intake noise, vibrations from the chassis, and gearbox chatter also need to be taken into account, and reduced on motorcycles hoping for homologation.
