How overlooked is the Daytona 650?
 
...is this? The Daytona 650. Surely one of the best looking bikes ever made! Even nicer than the 675. Anyone ridden one?

They are nice. Apparently they're a little down on power than their counterparts but they're supposed to have great handling. I don't think they ever came in black as standard but I think they're gorgeous like that. Look like Stealth bombers!

Stewie has one and let me have a pootle on it last year. I quite like it, but noticed it felt fast at 60? Had to really adjust my perception to go any faster. It seemed to steer a bit slower than my VFR which surprised me, had me pulling the bars a fair bit.

I really like the looks of it. I've kinda been eyeing one up for my next bike...

It's a shame. They look so s beautiful in black.

It looks pretty good, but surely it cant be that great if everyone goes for the 675?

They were only produced for a year or two and superseded by the 675.

Yeah it was. Their used prices are up there with the 675 :(
