Because I really like how Triumph is different and brave enough to use a 3 cylinder engine on a sport bike and not follow the inline 4 trend. It would be so easy to use the same style of engine too as an inline-4 makes the most horsepower, but hey, some riders don't care, they want charater.
I also like the paint scheme of the SE as well, very cool that the frame is blue and the bike white... just seems to go together like chocolate and cake.
I voted AWESOME! Just look at that piece of art... and I love that it stands out from the crowd with it's unique engine and frame. Not much else to say, except that I definitely agree with these comments...

Actually they did try to follow the inline 4 trend. The only reason they went with the triple is because they got their a$$es spanked by the Japs trying to compete with a four.

Yes, indeed Triumph has made a few inline-4's, I was meaning this Daytona 675 is different because it uses the triple.
