Parted company with my 2013 and have regretted it ever since, been offered a great px and a grand knocked of new price so will be back on one soon. If you haven't tried one of these its a must, IMO its just about right power wise on the road and on track well its in another league. My 2013
I've rode the standard model (2011) and its a brilliant bike! Mate has quickshifter on his which plugs straight into the loom - really rates it. Enjoy the new bike
The new 13/14 model has so many changes over the 11/12 model and all the changes are for the better, the 675R has a quickshifter as standard and ohlins front and rear, brembo mono blocks and lots of carbon.
they scored very well in the the 9 bike test by performance bike at Mallory, the only bikes to beat the 675R round the track at mallory park was the RSV4R and the SP blade not bad for a bike with just 120bhp
Yer I read that, it scored even higher in fast bikes mag, the 675R is £5000/£6000 cheaper than those two bikes aswell. When it was first launched fast bikes gave it 11 out of 10 rating.
To small for me though at almost 6' 2" and 13.5 stone so i will have to stay with the jap 1 litre bikes
I had an '09 version with a QS and an Ohlins rear shock amongst many other mods. Covered 17k glorious miles on it and loved it right until the end! Hear the '13 is even better. Great bike. Sold mine for the blade though......wanted a bigger bike....not just engine wise but bigger to sit on.
I really wanted one but my height and weight meant I had to have a rethink. I test rode one but I felt too big for it so went for a Blade instead. Lovely bikes though.
I nearly bought a 2008 SE as my first "proper" bike, but it didn't feel right sat on it as the front of the seat was a bit wide for my stumpy legs. Maybe one day though
