you would have to really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really want that 660 at that price, i would get the 750 though as i think with that donkey at that low a KMs would be worth it

Swiss market bike. Don't they get a restricted / low H/P version?

i guess that would mean some tinkering to mod and open up the engine a bit then, im starting to like this bike.

i would think if it was a restricted one then the PO's could have thrashed it without really thrashing it

IMHO there are two issues with the 750, I gave one a good run several years ago and this is why I didn't buy

If you look at the pic you will notice how punny the front disc are, which means very weak front brakes (and they are known for that so it probably wasn't just the bike I rode)

Poor low down power (but good top end), Good top end IMO made bike dangerous consider front brake issue

Perhaps the one I rode was a dog but those things would need to be checked since 110mph+ potential without brakes is a scary thought.
