Hello everyone!! My name is Carlos, I'm from Spain and I have a 2012 Triumph Daytona 675R, well first of all I apologize because I write to you through the translator because my English is very bad. I've been with it for two years and I only have it to ride on circuits. I am delighted with her!! A motorcycle with character, with a heavenly sound and especially here in Spain quite rare to see on the circuits. Well aside from the Daytona, I have a 2007 Ducati Monster S4R to ride on. A few days ago I discovered this forum and I hope to learn a lot from you. I will try to upload a photo.
Welcome Carlos675. I know of at least one other current forum member with a Daytona living in Spain & he rides on track too, near Barcelona.
Welcome Carlos. Lovely bike and worry not about language . Lots of people on here use the D675 as a track bike and often race parts for sale. Hope you enjoy
Thank you very much to all for the welcome. I've been reading many interesting things for two days and I'm still learning more about our D675. Here in Spain there is no information about these motorcycles, they are not even seen on the circuits! There are many people who come to see the bike and ask me what bike it is… Then they are surprised how well it goes and how it runs.
Hi Carlos, Mi gusto mucho tu Moto de oro.Really cool looking bike.I have ridden my bike at Alcarras a couple of times and really enjoyed it.Do you have a favorite track in Spain that you would recommend? Regards Nik
Thank you so much!! It cost me sweat and tears to vinyl!! Well, my favorite here in Spain is Motorland Aragón, it's a very fast track with two long straights, there we penalize with the 600cc motorcycles. The 1000 take away our stickers but it's very very funny. Another one that I really like is Almería, also very fast with blind corners in which you have to have them well positioned to go fast (I don't know if the latter is going to be understood due to the translator, just in case, in other words, you have to trust a lot on the bike and throw yourself into the curve without seeing it and keep the line) I have not been to all the circuits in Spain, I still have a few to know, but of all the ones I have been to, those two are the ones I like the most and the ones I go to the most.
You were rewarded for you patience with the vinyl,it looks very professional.I put vinyl on my new bike as it was much cheaper than getting someone to spray it so I know how difficult this job is. Thanks for your thoughts about interesting and fun tracks in Spain.I think I might try to combine a weekend at Alcarras and the following weekend at Aragon at the end of March 2024.If I can justify the cost to my wife who is more sensible with money than I am. I have already booked the weekend in Alcarras but not sure if I can convince her that I really need to go to Aragon but I will try to discuss this at the right time after doing lots of jobs at home.
Hahahahahahaha if you can go, do it for real!! It's well worth it, it's amazing. Until last year it was a Moto Gp world circuit and it shows in everything! The asphalt is perfect, the boxes are very large, all the facilities are of a high level. And it has a bit of everything, very fast and slow curves, chicanes, blind curves, height changes... The “corkscrew” chicane is amazing, the first time it is very impressive to have to change direction with a very steep descent!! Once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun and you overtake a lot of people who are very careful. I've never been to Alcarras, I'll have to go sometime. I also recommend the circuits in the south of Spain, of which there are many and the weather is always good, including Almería and Jerez.
Hola Carlos, En Marzo 2024 ire a motorland Aragon.La prima vez y por eso no se nada somber este circuito.Puedes compartir conmigo unos “tips” a corre rapidimente alli?? Oh yes y Felix año Nuevo Apologies for my terrible castelliano.
Hola Nik!! ¡¡Feliz año nuevo!! ¡¡Enhorabuena por ir a Motorland, te va a encantar!! Espero que haga buen tiempo y podáis disfrutar, ¡¡es un circuito increíble!! Se encuentra en una zona de España que suele hacer mucho viento. Acerca deEl circuito, es un trazado bastante ancho, y tiene escapes asfaltados en casi todas las curvas, por lo que puedes acelerar la frenada sin miedo, porque si te sales no hay gravilla y enseguida vuelves a la pista. Para mí tiene 3 puntos claves y los más divertidos para hacer un buen tiempo, las dos chicanes y la doble curva desde la entrada hasta meta. Las chicanes, la primera que llaman “el sacacorchos”, tienen mucha pendiente y para hacerlo rápido hay que sacrificar la primera entrada por la derecha (sin cerrar el piano), hacer el cambio de dirección (a la izquierda ) en la bajada y acelera rápido y sal Deja que la moto salga sin miedo (ábrete casi hasta el bordillo exterior de la derecha), como vas muy cerrado cogerás la siguiente curva que es ciega, de subida y a izquierdas. ¡¡también!! No se ve. La segunda chicane es mucho más abierta, hay que sacrificar mucho la primera entrada a la derecha, hacerla cerrada, retrasar el cambio de dirección y la entrada a la izquierda para poder abrir gas justo después del cambio de dirección, y córtalo un poquito. Ángulo para acelerar y abrir al 100% porque justo ahí comienza la larguísima recta de casi 1000m y cuesta abajo. Con 600 motos si no sales muy bien de esa chicane estás vendido, y con 1000 motos te quitan las pegatinas (como dicen aquí en España). Y justo después viene el tercer punto, al final de recta llegas con la moto al corte en 6ª (yo con la mía, con marcha normal y viento de cola, en la baliza de 282km/h) tienes que frenar, bajo dos marchas (aqui esta para demostrar que te va mejor si lo haces en 4ª o 3ª, según desarrollo, con los japoneses todo el mundo lo hace en 3ª, con el tres cilindros en 4ª me va bien y tienes medios de sobra para salir fuerte) y giras a la izquierda, dejando correr la moto y vas hacia afuera, (es una curva doble a la izquierda que se hace como si fuera una) la primera te haces muy larga, y en la segunda Cortas el ángulo y pasas el bordillo acelerando, dejando que la moto salga al exterior para afrontar la meta. Es un poco complicado explicártelo así, pero espero que te ayude. Supongo que ya lo habrás hecho, pero si no, habrá muchos vídeos en Youtube explicando la ruta mejor que yo, y entrando en muchos más detalles. Por lo demás es un circuito muy divertido, es uno de mis favoritos, con curvas muy muy rápidas y cambios de nivel con curvas ciegas. Cuando lo domines verás que vas rápido. Espero que lo disfrutes mucho y espero que cuando vuelvas escribas cómo te fue y qué te pareció. Voy a Almería en marzo, también muy divertido, si nunca has ido apúntate también, es un circuito mucho más antiguo pero del mismo estilo que Motorland, curvas rápidas, cambios de nivel con curvas ciegas y una recta larga. .
I don't know why it was copied in Spanish, I'll copy it for you in English. Hello Nik!! Happy New Year!! Congratulations on going to Motorland, you're going to love it!! I hope the weather is good and you can enjoy, it is an incredible circuit!! It is located in an area of Spain that is usually very windy. Regarding the circuit, it is a fairly wide layout, and it has paved escapes in almost all the curves, so you can accelerate the braking without fear, because if you go off there is no gravel and you immediately return to the track. For me it has 3 key points and the most fun to make a good time, the two chicanes and the double curve from the entrance to the finish line. The chicanes, the first one they call “the corkscrew”, have a big slope and to do it quickly you have to sacrifice the first right-hand entry (without closing in on the piano), make the change of direction (to the left) on the way down and accelerate quickly and leave Let the bike go outwards without fear (open up almost to the outer curb on the right), as you go very tight you will take the next curve which is blind, uphill and left-hand too!! It's not seen. The second chicane is much more open, you have to sacrifice the first right-hand entry a lot, make it closed, delay the change of direction and the entry to the left to be able to open the gas just after the change of direction, and cut that a little bit. angle to accelerate and open at 100% because right there begins the very long straight line of almost 1000m and downhill. With 600 bikes if you don't come out of that chicane very well you are sold, and on 1000 bikes they happen to take off your stickers (as they say here in Spain). And the third point comes right after, at the end of the straight you arrive with the motorcycle at the cutoff in 6th (me with mine, with standard gear and tailwind, at 282km/h marker) you have to brake, I go down two gears (here it is to prove that it is better for you if you do it in 4th or 3rd, depending on development, with the Japanese everyone does it in 3rd, with the three-cylinder in 4th it works well for me and you have plenty of means to go out strong) and You turn left, letting the bike run and go outwards, (it is a double left curve that is done as if it were one) the first one you go very long, and in the second one you cut the angle and go over the curb accelerating , letting the bike go outside to face the finish line. It's a little complicated to explain it to you like this, but I hope it helps you. I suppose you have already done it, but if not, there will be many videos on YouTube explaining the route better than I can, and going into much more detail. Otherwise it is a very fun circuit, it is one of my favorites, with very very fast curves and level changes with blind curves. When you get the hang of it you will see that you are going fast. I hope you enjoy it very much and I hope that when you return you write how it went and what you thought of it. I'm going to Almería in March, also very fun, if you've never been, sign it up too, it's a much older circuit but in the same style as Motorland, fast curves, level changes with blind curves and a long straight.
Hi Carlos,thank you very much for taking the time to give some advice.I was able to understand your message in Spanish more or less but it changing it to English was helpful. Sounds like a fun circuit.A bit of wind is not a problem for me as I am used to this in Holland. Have fun in Almería.
