I've never ridden a Daytona so I can't make a comparison. But, my Duc has about 90 HP at the rear wheel complements of a 944 kit, 41 mm Keihin flatslides, HC pistons, lightened flywheel and clutch basket, etc. So, it's not typical of the breed. But, I can make some observations about it's general demeanor. It has great torque down low, adequate HP, gets about 50 mpg on the slab and, sometimes, even in the twisties. Brakes are very strong. Handling is typical Ducati. That is, it is not a quick steering bike but once leaned in feels like it is on rails. I've doe the Race Tech fork springs but the shock is a stock Showa. It also has the Sharkskinz CR fairing rather than the stock SP full fairing. It kind of feels like something you'd put on a track. It really is a lovely machine. It is not, however, as easy to ride and live with as my '04 Sprint RS. Of course, I have a mere 55 miles on the Triumph so I can't compare the rides. It is nice to have that FI triple though.
