5- 2011 Triumph Daytona 675: For about the same price as a Japanese supersport, this Brit offers build quality and features worthy of the finest two-wheelers out there. It's also an ideal steed in a rider's quest to shave a few tenths of a second off his lap times. The sharp chassis and high-performing triple work together in a most rewarding manner. Carrying a base MSRP of $11,999, the Daytona 675 leaves other supersport 600 in the dust when it comes to value and bang for the buck.
