Depends what kinda information you're wanting to know really, whether it be about ergonomics, engine, fuel consumption or looks. I love mine, had it nearly 18 months now and its been perfect.
Have done several 200+ mile days with no real discomfort, as Dyzio has said, the engine is a little vibey but its nothing compared to my SV and its got plenty of torque for those lazy rides but loves to scream when the mood takes you.

if your looking to buy a mint one, i think speedplay is selling his, and he is anal about clean well looked after bikes

Tony K bought his new and I think it took 18 months to get rid of oil leaks.
That said, I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I had the spare cash.
Test rode on last year and thought it was the muts nuts!
Brilliant bike.

I love mine, though the battery box seems to fill with water if the roads are wet.

The ebay link you posted has a Two Brothers racing can on it which is meant to be pretty loud.

The exhaust valve is known to stick on the Daytona, some people remove them completely or just turn it off using an ECU cable.

There arnt many daytonas this way.So its one of 3 I might stretch my budget too.
Depends if I can get my stubble little legs on the ground as well.
We can get over the noisy can issue I'm sure. I have ear plugs ;).

Ask for a test ride, and go for min 1hour, see how you like the bending forward position will suit you, it is an acquired position, if your happy then go for it,
Any other things you want to know, check out 675.cc forum their pretty good, triumph raceing etc. the reg was a known issue but got sorted by dealers under warenty.
I had. oil leaks from day one, three years later it was fixed....lol.
But I Still love 675 Daytona's to bits.

Does the red have a paint issue ?
None within 60 miles nearly all black or grey?
