poor guys is always on the spot every year. At this rate he will be ready for presidency once we gone through 20 epic rides. Can be coincidence if it happened twice, but when it happens almost every time i tell you its a funny joke from weather gods

If any one deserves to ride it its you , surprised she found it okay after years of fjr luxury

Soon @Casper can rename the site ohiodaytonariders of course he be biased as well

Honestly, are u ever coming back to streets? You have risers on the bike? @jacobhawkins did you take a spin on Tims bike? You like it?

We are cursed if it rains Saturday, the only day it rained this week will be Saturday, If Sunday is rain day it looks even better with 77 and sunny.

Good save, 700 pounds would have crushed some meat and bone

Wth what happened? Extreme north Easters are a rare breed you can't

Planning conversion on the 300? Seen some good deals on eBay few weeks back. U prolly checked already. It pops up now and then. Keep watching for private sale of guys selling once they go track junkie

you gonna be track junkie for sure you will like this bike 100% @TimTheAzn has tons of miles on this bike and knows it inside out. He possible went through 9-10 tires and 3-4 batteries at least, I saw him ride the Daytona its like an extension of him now. We are at least triple brothers again we were the sole zook brothers before hehe Nooo no talk about selling and trading as of now. So far I like it, weight and size wise this is perfect for my puny physique as long as the ride becomes a little comfortable then I am golden. Waiting to find a good set of risers which seems to be hard for 2013+ models due to fairing being too low to allow raising the bars without major modifications. Will scratch pauly head when the time comes. I tried saddlemen gel seat for few miles, didn't make much difference for my weight

u will love this bike pauly, its like a bicycle with 120 hp legs. Low weight, narrow, easy to turn, ball busting, and torturing yet more smiles per miles. Just that its a health hazard than benefit I would imagine 675 is becoming one of the most common bike in this forum right? and yet every one keeps saying, "oh its rare not every one has it..it not like a jap bike etc".

thx J, you always have the right word to make it feel better. Like pauly, the first thing he said was "at least its not a vette" Regarding tracks i am thinking may be next year, 2-3 track days is all it takes to cover up the cost of this blunder, so i am keeping off rest of the year probably. will keep riding street to get used to the bike. By next year plan is to just do few here and there novice sessions to learn more. Possibly switch to some fleabay street plastics and thus just cover up lights for the track days. and back to street use. My stock color is flat black which is a head ache to maintain and keep clean and cant do anything about minor scratches even since cant even buff it out. @jacobhawkins yes go for the white much prettier and easier. This was the only deal he would make and hence ended up with the black.

Good point, may be just keeping it simple and grab something from the Dairy Queen or Wendy in bulk (the one right there in the lot) and stand around and munch and talk, very informal and easier to mingle and faster overall? Ah didn't think about that, hard to find a place which can take such a large group in short notice I guess. And to call ahead will be hard as no guarantee or guesstimate on how many will stop for dinner.

Just head there is my vote, extreme east sider like me have close to 5 hr ride to get back so might have to pull off early skipping dinner as daylight is in ration during September. Don't put more stress on your self Derek, just enjoy the day without much head ache. Also good decision to not carrying the food down

Nooo suspension is too stiff for my weight. The stock springs are a 1. I think, people still debate about that. For me being sub 150 it's too much - bouncy and stuff ride- just can't get the sag right. Will post another topic and ask some Susp guru here for advice. As a street commuter bike- it will be awesome being light narrow wide powerband etc. But ride is rough and tuff, there is blaze soft bag system available so some option there. Forget 2 up unless your girl friend is like sub 100lbs and okay with just small commute... Like 5 mile i had had the same idea to keep one bike for street and track. As I see all who got addicted to track pipe and unloading many $$ little by little to add all the stuff that comes stock with these and final price would be close to it. You sure will miss the power of 1L, won't get the same catapaulting out of corner sensation with this. I loved that the most than just constant high velocity. But you will be able to carry more speed into and mid corner easy. Hahaha Pauly u gonna make me paranoid. As soon as I see some dead bug juice on forks I will be like, OMG fork leak ....lets go to dealership and see what they can do for me. I might end up trading for some grom thinking I got a great deal. But if I like the bike and keeping it forever I will bring for spring change in winter. this bike I can load on a trailer myself. First bike I am confident about doing it.

I won't ever get to use its full potential I guess u gonna be bored riding with me on this. More than likely the strom due to the storage and much easier on miles. This bike is a torture rack for me , and never had that reaction to any bike. The ergo is just too weird for me. Love the butter smooth engine, even thou less power than liter the torque is every where. I find myself one gear higher than other bikes on this. Less engine brake than my previous bike and overall helped in being smooth. Awesome turbosque sound. Way too light and flick able than I am used to, almost going around corners upright unless pushing triple digits. Will be a bike which I have some chicken strips on since I never have to lean it like that. Suspension stock springs are too stiff for me, even with everything set to 0, I am still having bouncing from one pit to another. Not used to such a light bike and smaller wheel base, bike looks like it wil just vibrate and jump right out of my grip. It is so easy to ride in smooth pavement and quite the opposite once it gets rough. After so many miles on this bike I don't think I wnot be able to make a second son all in all a really excellent bike, will be a steep learning curve for me since its opposite to what I been used to for years. Perfect track weapon right outta box. And the quick shifter is addictive than coccaine

Just wanted to confess about the disease I have, Just wanted to get the rear brake of ducati looked at under warranty. Stopped by the dealership on the way. They made an offer i just couldnt resist. Almost a straight trade up for a new bike. Saw it as an exit strategy to unload the Duc and took the chance. Got a Daytona 675R, been over a month, about 1800 miles so far. Loving the bike but i really dont need a supersport in my life. More than likely will sell this next year and once and for all get out of this loop hole. And be happy and live forever with my Vstrom Unless of course i hit the track pipe, which was one of my many justification to fall for this trap. I know all of you guys must be tired of these stories, i know i am. In short as of now i am a motorcycle ADHD guy with immature brain and an asshole to throwing my hard earned money so easily for no real good reason. I was always proud that i am not a materialistic guy and very simple. Unlike my colleagues at work and friends from residency who right out of residency sign the new job and go get brand new flashy cars that cannot even be driven to its potential and other stuff like latest gadgets and trendy suits etc. And then here i am being "that guy" right in front of you all . Tired of all the bull crap reveal videos and stuff in pitch darkness. So just posting some random pics. Hope i find the strength to just to stop at this. i hope at least @330racing must be a feeling good and better with this thread.
