You can put an rr gearbox & slipper in the 636.

True, but finding one in a decent condition, or spares when i inevitably stack it, are more difficult to find...

As was mine but your reaction to it suggested you thought otherwise.

Either a very clever banter defensive system or you totally unappreciated my banter

675 ... the B1 is pretty basic by modern standards and certainly dont waste time and money on RR parts for it !

B1's are wicked bikes, I loved mine and at the time thought it was the best thing ever. Thing is times have changed, it was more than 8 years ago that I sold mine. When I rode a fairly well sorted one on track a few years back it was just nowhere near as good as I remembered, first thing I noticed was the lack of a slipper clutch after a long period of owning bikes that had one. Still great bikes and I would have another for the road but on track the 600's have moved on massively. I wouldnt sink too much money into expensive track parts for one now.

I quite fancy a 675 having done twins (2 and 4 stroke), fours (IL4,V4 and cross plane 4) so fancy ticking a triple off the to do list. I am aware of the potential engine issues, however I do like the bike enough to buy as wisely as i can and take a chance. I think they look like a cracking track prospect and there are plenty to choose from.
