Re: Daytona 675 Buying Guide
For the road or the track? The 2013+ model is said to be more like an il4.

Re: Daytona 675 Buying Guide
Not got the budget for a 13 plate mate. As I looking to spend around £4000 on a tidy low mileage bike.
It will be for both track and road use a bit like the B1 I used to have a few years back.
Not rushing into things just doing my homework at the moment. Ideally I would like to pick something up just after Xmas.

Re: Daytona 675 Buying Guide
Knowing very little, the Gen 1 675 was holding its own against the Gen 2 bike for a while in superstock and the Gen 2 can still take it to the Gen 3..
Good luck with this though and I'll keep checking in for updates

Re: Daytona 675 Buying Guide
Good choice it's prefect bike for both road and track use!
I think for what I can remember
Be careful of the CCT they are self adjusting but sometimes they stop adjusting so listen out to a loud tick or change to a manual one
Reg/rec go quite a bit
It is very track focuses bike so it is heavy in your wrists (pre 13 bike) and setup is pretty firm too
Think I heard problems with the dash too letting water in
Everyone get a double bubble screen for it as the orginal is pretty useless
Think that's all I remember about the 675 daytona think I would of held onto mine as I genuinely love it but @Daytonandy had one for a fair few years he will be more up to date with any problems

Re: Daytona 675 Buying Guide
if it was just a track bike you were after I know a guy with 3 British supersport spec daytonas sitting in a garage that he might be parting with and only wants about 3k each bike, If I had the money id snap it up in a heartbeat, one is 11k but that's the 2014 Evo championship winning bike, although I have had my gruby mits all over that so you probably don't want that one lol
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Re: Daytona 675 Buying Guide
As Kwacky confirmed, there are often bikes offered up over on the little 675.cc website.
£4k should get you a really decent bit of kit IMO.
The very earliest ones have (slightly) heavier wheels.
Post 2010 they have a revised engine, new front brakes, wiring to take plug & play quickshifter etc... Therefore worth having a preference for.?
The 675r is effectively the same bike but has upgraded suspension & Brembo brakes.
The report that FrequentFlyer wrote #14 in his recent thread may be interesting to you to compare the stock with the r .: https://www.675.cc/675/threads/my-new-b ... ost-435024" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: Daytona 675 Buying Guide
As you know I rate them. Good engine and good chassis. Aim for a 2010 to 2012 one if you can. Wouldn't overly worry about the reg rec as if it needed doing it will probably have been recalled by now. Loads of second hand parts available for the 10-12 and also a quickshifter is plug and play whereas it wasn't on the slightly older model. I have a power commander 5 and a codons quickshifter as well as bits of bodywork etc lying around if you get one!

Re: Daytona 675 Buying Guide
Cheers lads
If anyone sees anything worth a look within my budget let me know.
Looking for a tidy low mile, road bike ideally with Service history and well looked after.
2010 model sounds a good option but I reckon that could be out of my budget.

Have a look at this small selection Blade.:

I loved Veggy's bike.: https://www.675.cc/675/threads/2011-tri ... 650.33450/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Also if you want to be ahead of the game : FrequentFlyer will be selling his red one now that he's got a newer one (the lad who wrote the thread comparing the std against the r in the link I placed in my earlier post in this thread).:

Re: Daytona 675 Buying Guide
Cheers lads but nothing I fancy there. Seen some better options myself but just gathering info at the moment as way too busy at the moment.
Monty your links were to blank pages buddy. Not sure what went wrong but no bike there.
