Two bikes I'm considering

[Fizzer6R]

just checked, I'm on #33, and by the time you're my age you'll prob. have had more!

Well Josh, I've ridden both of the bikes before, the daytona quite a lot more and here are my thoughts of the two.

The R6 is a great bike don't get me wrong, but it was (for me at least) the most uncomfortable sportbike I had ever ridden and had to get off after about 20 min. The Daytona on the other hand, I was able to ride for over an hour without being uncomfortable. I'm going to attribute this to the 675 having a higher seat height which kept my legs a little less bent and cramped. It also made the process of laying over the tank to the clipons easier and comfortable even with my huge belly.

Power wise, i really didn't reel out the r6 that much, but I did on the 675 and it's power seemed to always be there when i needed it and was very fast and smooth.

The only thing I'm going to suggest, get an arrow exhaust on that daytona, the sound is amazing and you will not regret it

If you don't mind me asking, what were the prices on the R6 and the 675?

6200 OTD or $9400 OTD(includes gel seat and levers)

I LOVE the daytona, I think you will as well. I wish it had a little more low end power (I think I'm spoiled by the 750), but the overall package is fantastic. I hear the same about the R6, but believe the daytona is much better on low end power.

Here are my impressions of riding a 2010 Daytona: http://www.600cc.org/forum/f44/first-ride-triumph-dayonta-675-wow-30787/
The brakes on this thing are excellent.

Are you keeping the HD, Josh?

I want that, especially the rim/flags

That's funny, because when I do searches for bikes some of the best deals on leftover stock are in Jersey and New York. I usually do a 150 mile search radius. Beautiful bike.

You've had me wondering... Haven't seen you active in quite a while.

Yeah, I took a new job where I don't have much time to surf the Web, plus it's winter so not much bike related activity going on.

I like that it comes with a "battery tenderizer." My batteries are usually very tough.

Geez, Josh trades vehicles almost as often as underwear.

Thanks.

I have been checking prices on lots of bikes lately (mostly leftovers as far back as 2010's in some cases) and am leaning more and more towards the 750. Price is only about $600 off the 600. I have ridden my buddies before and even though it's not super light (it is pretty light, just 6-8 pounds more than the 600) and it is extremely well balanced and ergonomics aren't too bad. You're pretty short though, are you laid up on the tank while riding? We'll have to get some rides together this summer.

The 750 is the best all around street machine I have ridden. I've been on a bunch of bikes, and the power delivery doesn't get much better than the 750. That and the fact that you're not paying liter bike insurance makes it a no brainer.

As far as height, I'm okay, I am not on the tank all the time, my ergo angle looks like the attached. The 750, to me, feels extremely light coming from the FZ6R.

I think you would be pleased with the 750. We should def get some rides going this year.

With my hand surgeries being done now I will be doing lots of riding this summer.

Sweet! No excuse not to roll out together at some point! We'll plan it out meet in the middle somewhere or something.

Yeah, you're not too far from me. We can see if we can get some other members to meet up as well.
