Daytona 675

Got to sit on one of these this morning - just on the showroom floor, bein' as 'ow I was caging with a load of beer etc for the shop and was short of time.
Quite high off the ground. I thought that of the SVS too but this is higher still.
Also felt short from the seat to the front. Even a shortarse like myself would have his head practically right above the instruments. Felt a little weird. I think I would have trouble tucking right down onto the tank...Angle was fine, just where I was on the bike. A tall person would probably notice it more than I did.
Hafta take it for a test ride next time...

I had this feeling when I test road a K6 GSXR600 - felt like my head was hanging over the front of the bike. The 1L GSXR felt a lot better.

I think if / when I upgrade I will take another look at the 675.

As a tall person and having only sat on a D675, yes, they are too bloody small lol, so I got a D600 instead lol

But saying that, I felt ok on a street triple

As a Bohemoth, if I want to ride it, i'll make myself fit it.

He he - throw a leg over one of the Triumph Adventure bikes - you may need a small step to get on

out of my bike list due to the seat height.

I love the seating and lay out of the 675, the seat is a wee bit tall but everything else is great. Short legs and arms

Check with Saul..... he is reasonably tall and rides his 675 just fine. In fact bloody well...

Guess it depends on how much posing ya want to do outside yr local cafe too aye !
Riding it is fine, knees clamp up nice and tight, it is easier to ride than the 1050, ground clearance can be changed so i hear !
Hear too that it's faster !!!
