First weekend on the 675
 

Well im grinning from ear to ear,
collected my new baby- daytona 675 2008 SE (special edition model) on the 8th march.
115 miles done in one weekend.
tyres are semi scrubbed in-running pirelli supercorsa as standard,and tbh the first 50 ish miles felt like i was riding on ice :( was NOT enjoying it one bit, even matt (treacle) said i looked tense- think combination of that the bike was v v new, new tyres and i wasnt used to it, took a break from riding it sat afternoon and was gonna put him away but then had a chat with treacle and thought id give it another go and oh my! im glad i did!!

Only complaints i can say is gearbox is quiet stiff and seat is solid!!, ive also got to look at getting it a tad lowered.

Have told treacle if hes a good boy (lol) he can take it out for me and im sure he'll let you guys know what he thinks to it!

Pics of it are now in photo section.

You only want Treacle to go out on it to get rid of the chicken strips!! :lol:

Re: First weekend on the 675
 

lol, have you been talking to him as thats EXACTLY what he said! :p, nooo hes a much more confident and better rider than i am, i trust him with it, ive still got the faithful old sv to go out on when he "borrows" it.

Re: First weekend on the 675
 

So how you running it in? Like Ed? or like book?



Probably something to be agreed before giving to Treacle? ;)

Re: First weekend on the 675
 

Already agreed, hes can take it on track when its been run in, and im kinda doing it by the book, i am being well behaved (for now LOL)

Nice one Paws. The riding on ice thing is normal, strange bike, new tyres, etc, etc. Only to be expected.

Nice one Paws.

Yes, it feels strange at first, new brake pads and discs as well as tyres etc so just bed it in for a couple of hundred miles. As for hard seat, just eat more pies :)
