    lovely, my favourite colour combo.

    I have a Daytona 675 too, and love it. I told the wife I was selling it this year, but I'm not sure I can bring myself to do it :-(

    Holy sh*t. That is magnificent. Where was that during my recent buying spree?;)

    You've scored really well. 2nd owner, too. Congratulations. Hope you have some good weather soon to give it a run.

    Very nice and original, always fancied one of these as they have quite a tall seat height which I like!

    Not going to Bling it, will put K&N air filter in when the time comes, tank grips (had on all my bike's) and maybe change the indicator to the later model pointy style one's but keep originals to put back on when it comes to sell. It is quite tall, I'm only 5'7", could flat foot both feet on the 05 Blade, on tip toes on the D675.

    Always fancied one of these. I think thats the best looking shape theyve made of them too. Enjoy.

    Thank, for your kind comments, I've now put fresh rubber on, and got her mot'd. Just need some good weather, the ride back from the mot place was nice, so I opened her up a bit, surprised would be the word, torque is another, had 600's before, and those extra 75cc's makes a huge difference. I also got some 2011 indicators to replace the originals.

    Great that you're on a high again.

    Not too much good riding weather in my parts today - nor this week for that matter. :(
