Proper excited by the R660, honestly think thy're a dying breed and this might be the last of the snappy twins.
Don't get me wrong, big fan of the big thumping KTM doubles, but they're a bit unruly for day to day basis unless you have a couple of CPU's toning down everything mid corner. Which they do, but you're always on bleeding edge intensity.Last thing I rode was an S1000rr and it was a royal fucking hoot, but I wouldn't buy it simply because I'd either wouldn't have a license or I'd be dead by now on these roads.
I see it this way now, if I can't safely scrub my tyres at 80% of my capability (which ain't much) and be somewhat legal, then there's no point of owning it in the UK.You ain't UK no longer you dirty traitor so It doesn't apply to you.
I'd still say Daytona 675R. That's mine one day for sure!

I love twins, but the only one I've ridden with more midrange than my K5 was a Duke 1198....that, frankly, had TOO much midrange. A large amount of power that came in like a bat and disappeared soon after. Fun but a handful. I hear the 1299s are the same but with monster top end too! The character definitely is a thing - twins seem to have more feel about them, fours more turbine like thrust. I'd like one of each please.
My ZX10R (2004) was gutless like a 600 under about 8.5k, then took off. Didn't like that engine at all.
I'd love to try some of the new superbikes and see what they're like - I've not really ridden anything post 09 or so in anger.
