Well i have only ever ridden metalhead19 for a short time but they are beautiful bikes, quite tall, but amazing to ride with stunning brakes.

It is a weird exhaust for that 675, i do prefer the arrow one

Don't know of any issues but I know I love them.......
That one is about 500 yards from my house, wish I had the wedge it would be sitting outside mine right now...

Reg/rec were known to fail on the 06-09 models, but Triumph have announced a recall for that recently.

The cct's are not that great either, some folk have (including me) fitted manual ones, whilst others have no problems whatsoever.
The engine is a tad on the noisy and vibey side, but nothing bad. Other than that I believe it's general stuff really.

I've only done 3k on mine, apart from the reg failing (which Triumph kindly replaced as a good will gesture before the recall was announced), it's been smiles all round.

Is this for yourself ntec?

EDIT
If you are looking for a 2009+ then the cct is different.
A few owners have reported issued with cracks in the downpipes (don't know where exactly, but Triumps are replacing them no charge)

Yes my knee is feeling the weight of the RSV .
So looking at the Daytona or a Shiver GT .
A new knee at 50 a bit difficult to swing on the NHS.

Re: Triumph 675 opinions and known issues?
 

The bike is way lighter than my old Falco, I'm not complaining about comfort (after a few 250 mile days) but it's a ss600 so your knees aren't relaxed.

It's not a v2 but torque is pretty good, be prepared to drop a few gears to get most out of it though.

Fuel wise, you'll be in for a nice surprise ;)
