Restricting a Daytona 675?
 

Mates on his Race Replica 28bhp RS125 atm, but fed up of lack of power + the stroker have such a narrow powerband, and having a lack of torque..

Hes After a large 4 stroke bike, has his eyes set on a 675, but anyone know how it would run restricted to 33bhp?
Hes already passed his Das and that, only 17, same as me..

Thanks a Bunch :)

Waste of time I'd imagine, better off with an SV or something else (small and only partially restricted, Ninja 250, 400 single etc...) , although this is just hypothetical thinking in my head.

Thats what i thought, too much power and wrong type of engine for a start..
Just not sure, he seems set on it, just trying to find out as much as i can for him..

YC or DD you guys here?
Know you guys know alot about everything.. :)

His insurance will be insane for a 675 at 17, he'll no doubt be the coolest kid on the block but at the end of the day, what's the point?

3rd party

1st - SV £340
2nd - Daytona £580
3rd - R6 £1260

nothing more embarrassing than riding a 160mph missile / scalpel hybrid and having your **** handed to you by a Golf GTI cause you've only got 33 horses...

i can't imagine what a 675 would feel like restricted, it's already putting out more than that at 5000rpm so it'd be heartbreaking, like the kid who turns up down the local meet on a repsol rep fireblade + matching leathers, yet whenever he leaves the car park and "guns it" down the road he accelerates like a swift saloon car, all fart and no ****:mrgreen:

i wouldn't go 3rd party on a 675, i'd want more than that!

at least tpft.

also u said at the top saying he has done DAS at 17, you mean A2?

Dont think i can sway his mind to a SV , unless i can prove to him that a 675 will run lyk sh!t restricted..
Hes 18 in June, so still 1 year+ of his restricion left..

Re: Restricting a Daytona 675??
 

Aye hes on his restricted license same as me, DAS, A2, whatever you pass when you're 17 :)
I get confused :(

Re: Restricting a Daytona 675??
 

tell him people will laugh behind his back at him (like they do to repsol boy down here who goes out with a bunch of low cc dirt bikes and scooters)

that'll mean far more to someone like the person you're describing than how well the bike will run...
