They really sing with the right exhaust. On full chat, that intake noise is infectious.
Daytona isn't without it's problems though. It was full cardio to ride, long and low. Gearing is also looooooong. 1st will get you closer to 85mph.The Street was hands down the most fun I've had on a bike so far. It just eggs you on. I can't wheelie for shit, but drop that clutch in second will nip that front up with a laugh.
Why not your 990 again with some suspension upgrades?

Yeah hence 990 duke, not smt.
Smt went where you wanted it, but was always a bit lofty. I knew it'd go round the corner if I stuck it in, but it never felt smooth.
Will take a daytona and street for a test ride some time soon for sure then. Plus 848 evo and 750 gsxr.

yeah miss my Street for that - although the Speed Triple can be just as brutal - torque for days
I'd def have a Daytona although my back and wrists might not be happy

Wish I could acquire a Daytona. I miss biking.
I test rode the fully tarted up versions of the Speed Triple and Daytona 675R a while back. Speed sounded amazing, but was just a complete monster. Uncomfortable and torquey. The 675R managed to be not only faster, better handling and better sounding (obvs - that induction whine omfg) than my TT600, but also more comfortable, better at slow speeds, and got better fuel economy. Ridiculously good bike.
Rode an 848 Evo as well. Fuck me did it sound good when you really let it go, it's pretty incredible for a "small" bike. It was also cramped, absurdly fast and quite terrifying. I don't know how anyone could ride a one of the 1200s

Maybe I haven't heard a good one, they just sound like a wet fart.
I'll find one with nice exhausts and take it for a ride. Perhaps I'm wrong. If so I'd then get a daytona or street.
