If straight-line speed is your priority, the R9 takes the lead. With 24 HP more than the Daytona 660, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the R9 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 6kg less than the Daytona 660, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners.

Bottom Line: While both are capable, the r9 offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
