Bear in mind I am a wee bit tipsy...
I'm currently riding an 06 Daytona 675. My previous bikes were a curvy SV, a Falco and now the Trumpet. At this moment, I use it for weekend blasts, trips and like you'd expect, touring
I've done about 10,000 miles in the 2.5 years I've owned it and apart from a 100 km stretch in Romania, I would have never complained about comfort.
Of course being an ss600, the bike demands to be ridden at some pace, otherwise, you feel like you're doing a handstand and this got me thinking... A while ago, I rode a friends CBR125 from Edinburgh to Aberdeen and thought "this is a beautiful country, if you've got the time to look around...". I've rode through some amazing places in the past few years, but lets be honest, all of my bikes were of the "sports" variety, meaning you concentrate on "having fun" instead of enjoying the surroundings...
Don't get wrong, the Triumph is a fantastic bike, with an amazing engine, brakes and soundtrack... if only there was a a "675 Tiger" variant, I'd buy it instantly.
The er6f was on my mind since day one of my licence, I like the looks and the specs similar to the sv (don't like the brakes though) and allows me to comfortably reach the ground. I've walked into the dealership today to see what's new and there was a black and orange er6f on show...
Price under £6k new, small, decent screen, optional panniers and not bad a soundtrack...
I'm in no position to buy at this time, but I really like this bike, so if you have experience of this bike, can you share your opinion?
Ta!
