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!
