Pictures not the best, as the light was fading. But you get the idea. Bike now has some decent sound :evilgrin:. and a few bits of carbon.................. Car will now stay as is, and I really enjoy driving it. No remap for me, the bike fills that void.
Had some fun this weekend, down to the coast on the bike, and fish and chips in Bridport, then a good hoon :evilgrin: on the way home........ :evilgrin:
It is nicely quick, not to bad, but still enough to pop the wheel up in the first 3 gears with judicious use of the go faster bit!

Didn't sell it. Tried it, didn't like it, also had problems with the BF application and my 64 bit Vista, that they couldn't sort, so got a refund. I like the way the Std car drives, with torque available from low down the rev range. Never say never again though!

Nice collection there mate :happy2:
Funny thing is ive been to look at a 675 today seriously thinking about getting one but cant help but think that if i get one and see a ninja zx6rr pull up next to me ill feel i made the wrong decision.
Was looking at the same colour too which is the same as my golf.

A friend has a 636 Kawka, IMHO the Daytona is an all together better bike.

Get the 675, slap a race can on (the noise is a symphony on the ears, and the noise from the airbox is great too!) you will not regret it.
