Finally got a sunny day to take the Daytona 675 out for a run. Stuck the girlfriend on the back and it was awful. Bike ran nicely but it was so hard to ride with a pillion pressing you down onto the handlebars and the tank. I'm ditching the pillion pegs on it tomorrow. It is truly awful. Dropped her off at her place and got a chance to run it and it was truly amazing. It went exactly where I wanted to go like it was reading my mind. Brakes and suspension are fantastic. And the noise from the engine is pure sex. It howls when it gets revved. I was riding on the road so didn't get a chance to really rev it out but at about 7 grand it was really coming onto song. Love it. Couldn't be happier. Only complaints are the indicator light doesn't show left or right indicator and the sidestand doesn't have a tag on it to get it down. All minor stuff really. Can't wait to get a clear day with nothing on to head out on some windy roads. Fraser
