There's one of these at the place I work at for 4-5 years now, apart from an engine warning light (dealer found no faults) its working fine, charging system as well. As far as standard exhausts go, this one sounds pretty good

The 675 is supposed to be more track ready and a bit less comfy on long rides, I do a lot of those and love the looks of the 600/650 so that's what I went for. The 650 has much better midrange and a better gearbox than the 600 so it had to be that one.

Yellow Daytona, you sir, have good taste

If it were a yellow 955i Daytona, then I'd have said you have great taste, but hey, you can't have it all

If the charging issue is the same as the 955i (cable from the reg/rec too thin and long) then it's an easy mod to fix, search the Triumph Torque forum for details.

D650 is a terrific bike, the midrange in particular is simply awesome. Get it to 10K in 3rd and you better hold on tight I only fell out of love with mine when it spat me off Now I'm not that technical and I don't measure acceleration by the millisecond, but my 675 is faster, with better quality suspendies and brakes. That is not to say that the 650s are poor!!! 675 is more track focused, it's a very mean beast, and many of you will know that I don't use it to anything like its full potential. But even to me, the cornering is just awesome, the 650 used to drop into a corner but this beast has the edge. My 675 is physically much smaller, can be a bit irritating at times. And my bike is a triple I love the4 roar it makes, and the pops and bangs on overrun. Childish, I know... I followed wife and daughter (both in the Volvo) to Much Wenlock and Ludlow last weekend, until I got bored and overtook, made my day when they told me the bike was so loud they had to turn the sound up in the car

Your bike - do I detect rim tape And I don't like the dark screen, to my mind it don't go with the yellow too good. Those apart, it's gorgeous.
