well ive just drawn in maybe 80 miles on my 675 that i picked up this morning.. i have to tell you this bike is phenominal!! the agility is the first thing that i really noticed.. i moved my elbow out.. it started turning!! its composure is so correct that im struggling to describe it.. and the sound!! after 5K revs it just.... well take it from me this bike it STUPIDLY good.. there is little or no engine brake which is kinda strange.. do they have slipper clutches?? the engine is so veristile.. it will pootle in 5th at 40 and not struggle.. or you can give it the beans in third and touch on 130 (apparently

) ive had it for less than 24hrs.. and already creaming BIG time!!
i suggest that everyone should test ride one at some point.. lost for words!

Its around 110MPH (actual) in third... But dont let me steal your Thunder (as much as a none twin can have

) its still a silly speed. You take it easy, but have fun!

Looks lovely indeed, if I had been able to secure my underground parking at work before I was looking I would have been very tempted with one, but went for the ZX as it seemed less nickable (I hope)

As far as engine breaking goes, I am sure it is there, I get quite a lot on the IL4 so you must get more on that, maybe it just feels like it is non-existant compared to the v-twin!

With it not having stupid engine breaking I would say it doesnt need it.
