    Totally agree, when you jump back on you do feel like "what's wrong with this?" But soon re calibrate....

    Ideally wed all have a naked, 675r and a 200bhp beast for any occasion lol

    Well I think my mind is made up. Finally tried one out and yes it handled very well BUT,,,,,,,,,,, I would miss the grunt of the 1000. I don't do track days (well not with my own) and I didn't feel a significant difference with suspension. I've taken the time to set mine up and it rides great. Another point I think some one eluded to was the noise, it did start to get a little tiresome after a while. So for now the trusty Blade is staying and I am not sure there is something else out there that I fancy at the moment (I don't have a spare £14/£15k btw).
    Thanks to all for the comments, recommendations and general honesty.

    I had a test ride on it last year and I was really impressed how good that bike is..

    There were two reason:

    1. Riding a 675R was like sitting on a stone
    2. Lack of power if you used to ride a "big bike" like the Fireblade etc.
    3. and because of the sales person from The Hughenden M40 Triumpf Dealer
