I felt that the handling was better on the Daytona, but that was because the B1 was never that brilliant out of the box.

He is arguing to spend another £2 or £3k on a Daytona which he wil then have to spend more money on (as you do), or spend a couple of £K on his existing B1 to give it a very strong engine which already handles and stops brilliantly (apparently)

It is no contest really if he is happy with everything else on the B1 than the bottom end and mid range.

Haha I would say its no contest.... get a Daytona. Spend the £££s as long as you're comfortable on the thing you've got to have a go on one and you wont be disappointed.

Doubt the same offer would tempt tucola but maybe.

good thinking mr Dom1. although i'd feel less guilty crashing a smallboy bike than a PO one....

He might crash yours.

If you are both willing to risk it on a no claims basis it sounds like a winner to me.

ah when I saw you in town i didn't realise you meant it was in Chelt. Might walk round. (oh the irony of telling Millhouse to spend the £££s on a Daytona when I sold mine to get £££s)

N.B. Millhouse I stand by my advice over my actions!

Normski

had both, loved both Andy.

loved the 675 more though (both road bikes).

hth!

See if you offer Mr Pickled Onion a trackday if you can do alternate sessions on his and yours.

Much cheaper than a Smallboy rental.

just seen this :D

and

too late he's gone and got one ....

on another note, T675 everytime. I love the B1's, have friends who ride/race them and enjoy them but the 675 is miles ahead handling wise, the engine is brilliant (has all the drive you need until you are chasing race titles) and it sounds ace ....not biased at all :D
