Re: [ST] 675 Daytona

[Kevin.Dicks@xxxxxxx]

I think you hit the nail on the head Marc....for some people it's all
about the 'top speed bling'.  They could care less about how good a bike
is, just how fast/powerful it is.  It's the same reason people buy 'Busas.
Thankfully, Triumph have never really played that game - the downside is
that, prior to the 675 anyway, they don't get as favorable reviews as the
Jap bikes.  I don't mind that so much...makes them more exclusive for
those of us in the know.

I really expected so much more from the Honda.

In my mind I was expecting this amazing super bike, but in the end its not
that much better than my Daytona, except for a big thump right at the top
of the rev range.

I'm sure I'll be quicker on the Daytona than on the Honda, its just easier
to ride the Trumpet quickly. Besides my bike has tons of character and a
brassy blare when you open it up.

It makes me thank my lucky stars I bought the Trumpet and not the Honda.

A good friend, who has ridden them all, including my Trumpet, says the
GSXR 1000 has a great power delivery, but the handling is quite nervous.

I don't have enough "Rossi" in me for a nervous handling bike.

Cheers


Marc
