OMG. I have the super sport bug now and must find a way to get this bike. Not a bad thing to say about the experience. The jump off the line is incredible. Handled like a dream. And so much power. As soon as I got back on the FZ6R after the ride, it literally felt like riding in quicksand for the first 15 mins or so until my hands got used to the throttle on the 6R again. Probably gonna keep my bike as the tourer bike, but yea, gonna need that super sport in my life.
Test rode '13 Daytona 675 over the weekend...

Sorry to burst you're bubble, but the 675 is the same brand new as any of the 600cc Japanese SS bikes675 is awesome, but u can get a liter Japanese SS bike for the same $
I thought it's like $12k OTD? :head scratch:

Depending on how good a shopper u are, new R6's go for $9K+ OTD in So Cal at the right time of year.
It is possible to find a used 675 for around that though.

Its not a matter of dumb, its a matter of desire.
I really like the 675R, sat on one at the dealership, lots of trick carbon and interesting paint, plus of course Ohlins suspension. It was at the top of my list, actually, but in the end I went for the 0% gixxer sale when moving to the 750, plus I had 17,000 trouble free miles on my GSXR600.
The reviewers say the 675R is still a bit more committed in riding position, and perhaps a bit less stability than the gixxer, but it has a better bottom end, more flickable, fantastic race ABS, and a great quick shifter - it is basically a fully prepped race bike. I like the triple sound on boil, but that low RPM whistle still is a bit weird.

I already have the desire. For the time being, my common sense is keeping me in check telling me the FZ6R is more than enough bike for a n00b like myself.
At some point though, desire will tell common sense to STFU.
I desire a supersport, but I'd probably go for the not-so-evil twin, the street triple. I like the aggressive SS position, but don't know how long it would be until I got tired of it. Street Triple has most of the power with upright comfy ergos.I already have the desire.

Seriously, why would you buy a bike from a company that can't even spell tires properly.

When I was transitioning & had the R6 and the 6R, I noticed every time I'd go riding I'd want to ride the R6. That's how I knew it was time to sell the 6R.
Now that I have the R1 & R6, I get giddy trying to decide which one to ride. That's how I know I have come up with some good excuse to fend off my family from crucifying me- after I told them I'd sell the R6 after getting the R1. It makes no sense whatsoever, but I want to keep both. >.<
