Looking good. Every time I see one I think I should get one!

So I took it

It was a bike that had gone down but there was nought wrong with it apart from a few cosmetic bits etc.

Today was my first ride on her in earnest.

Set up the suspension in the morning and away I went. It was just gonna be a bit of a cruise as I still have a clipon that is bent. It didn't turn out like that at all and I really enjoyed the drive this baby has out of the corners and the burble that she has when working hard.

I am so very pleased with handling on this bike. so very smooth and easy to pick a good line though the twisties.

Makes the 636 look like she needs to go on a diet.

Think I would still take the Street Triple over the 675.

Go to it then

One day, unfortunately i'm in no financial position for a new bike for a looooooooong time.

Still, we all need something to work towards.

For those with 675s I can vouch for Sport Attacks over the Pirellis.
I was always a fan of Pirellis but the Contis tranformed my last bike, the F800S, so I now run Contis on the Daytona.
I prefer how they roll into a corner and the grip at full lean is superb.
Just my opinion but I find the 675 a better bike now with these tyres.

Not that everyone cares but the 675 would get all wobbly during a wheelie and at times this made it a struggle to control and to put some input into steering the bike while on one wheel. I put it down to the tyre profile and now with the Conti on the back this is completely sorted. With a bit of input it veers left, right or whatever now. I went back and measured a recent wheelie at 1.4km through a sweeping left, then a straight, then a right curve and straight again. It could have carried on but my driveway isn't long enough.
