    Let the testriding begin.

    What a great day today. Got my full last week. Today I took out a Daytona 675 for a spin. What a bike. The power seems to be infinite, in any gear, any revs but at the same time very controllable by a noob like me.
    The sitting position is quite a bit more racy compared to my GT250R or my friend's zx-6r (2002 i think).
    Wanted to have a go on a new zx-6r but it seem no one has a demo bike. Same for R6. Anyone knows who in wellington would have a zx-6r for a test ride?
    Next week plan is to get a cbr600rr and a gsxr for a ride. Cant wait.

    I tried a Daytona 675 once only which game me the clear message that I am too old to ride a sports bike. Good luck to you.

    get a tt600 or a cbr600rr

    both great bikes.

    There's a zx6r in taranaki if you want to travel that far but I found it uncomfortable.

    To clarify - are you actually going to buy a bike or are you just a test pilot?

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

    The money is in my back account just waiting to be spend. I will definitely get one of the 600s unless I totally hate all of them. But I already like the daytona and I was offered a nice deal, so its number 1 on my list.

    Cool - just preventing an influx of angry flamers

    The Daytona is the pick of the bunch IMHO, though it's hard to rubbish any of the current crop of 600's.
    Whatever you decide on, enjoy and ride safe!

    Wow you must be getting a good deal on that 675 to not look at a GSX-R750. Ride it anyway though cause it's a damn cool bike

    There's a reason the CBR was in so many shootouts both 07 and 08. Interested in what you think compared to the rest.

    Can I add more than one to that telly?

    Daytona...more torque therefore easiest 600 to ride on the road plus a hell of a bike to grow into.
