Aftermarket manufacturers produce products for bikes that are in heavy demand. Just look at the new R6. Totally new model and there's tons of aftermarket for it.
IMO, the 675 isn't being produced/sold in the numbers that would make companies start producing alot of aftermarket for it.

Retail sales have increased 58% for Triumph in the month since they introduced it. They are sold out of the current production and are significantly adjusting their production to try and keep up with demand.
They are selling the hell out of it.
" NEWNAN, Georgia – April 6, 2006 – Triumph Motorcycles (America) Ltd., announced today that retail sales in the US reached 1070 units in March, which is a new single month sales record for the Hinckley, UK based motorcycle manufacturer. This is a 58% increase over the same month last year. TMA’s previous monthly sales record was 1067 units and was set in April, 2005.
Triumph‘s growth in recent years has been driven by innovative new products that set the British manufacturer apart from the competition. With ground-breaking models like the 2,300cc Rocket III cruiser, the stylish Sprint ST sports tourer and the new Daytona 675 sport bike, Triumph offers consumers a broader product line than any other European road bike manufacturer.
Triumph’s growth in January was led by sales of the new Daytona 675. This “Incomparable” new bike reinvented the middleweight sports bike category with its distinctive triple-cylinder engine. The 675’s unique design combines light weight, compact dimensions, and class leading power and handling to deliver what many in the press are hailing as the best middleweight sports bike ever built.
Triumph’s growth was also spurred by the introduction of the new Scrambler 900. As the original manufacturer of modern classics, Triumph continues to lead the industry with innovative new designs that hearken back to the classic bikes from the middle of the last century. The Scrambler 900 embodies the true nature of a modern classic. With styling that pays homage to the classic Meriden-era TR6 Bonnevilles and a thoroughly modern engine and chassis, the Scrambler offers a unique mix of old and new. The Scrambler is an ideal bike for motorcyclists looking for a cool bike that rides as good as it looks.
“We’re thrilled with the way the public has reacted to the new Daytona 675 and Scrambler models” said Todd Andersen, Marketing Vice President, Triumph Motorcycles (America) Ltd. “but we’re even more pleased with the performance of the rest of the line as sales grew for every one of our continuing models last month.
This growth put Triumph back in it’s proper place as the largest European retailer of road bikes in the U.S.”
