I liked it too.  And it seems to do what it was created to do: draw
attention to Triumph.  It was by far the most ogled bike at the Dallas
show the day I was there (of course, it was up on a pedestal).

The 600 market is huge, and Triumph didn't get much of that pie with the
TT600.

However, the attention the Daytona600 got at the show paled in
comparison to the gawkers at the CBR600RR stand.  Ditto the new R6.

Laters,
