For the sake of all things holy, why? I think I read your post about this a while ago and how it rained the whole time. Your parents place right?
All I can say is that it seemed like a good idea at the time...
I said I'd help the parents do a few things to their place over the Easter weekend and the wife wanted the car to go to her parents whilst I was away. Motorbike seemed like the quickest / "easiest" thing to do.
Definitely regretted it after leaving home on Easter Friday at 4.30am to catch an early Euro Tunnel. Driving rain and I was soaked before even getting to France. 5am ish, is never a good time to find out that your goretex textile suit is no longer fully waterproof.
Made it to their house about 5pm local time, the same night, and did the return journey the following Wednesday.
Got the train into the office on the Thursday as I couldn't face getting on the bike again.

@Jung The guy I bought my first bike from replaced said bike with the 675. I rode behind him on the way down to Moffat through the A708. Needless to say, I was hypnotised by the reverberating sound coming off the Lochs we kept passing.
I liked the idea of the 600rr simply because it can do two things. Go fast, and be comfortable; but if the 750 does that too, then I will be looking hard into them. Some days I find them appealing, other days it feels like the ultimate squid bike. However, I imagine there's a reason for their popularity.
The cost between the 05-05 isn't that vastly different to the 06-07. I want one of the later melted looking ones.
