Great pics, you will need to stick your elbows out more if you ever intend to make it in Supersport racing though. ;)

I've ridden several 600's and they all have at least one thing I'd change, whether that be brakes, handling, power delivery, character......But the 675 is just perfect. I just cannot fault it, obviously it's no tourer and it's not the most comfortable bike in the world but it's a supersports bike and they're never going to be. Right?

To be honest, I've never felt it lift the front in third, but definitely first and second. I'll be doing the -1 sprocket mod when the chain and sprockets need changing so maybe then it'll be a bit more lift happy. Cracking bike and the noise with an open TOR race can is just dribble worthy.

If anyone is after one then I'd just say go for it, just make sure if it's got 12,000 or more on the clock that it's had the major service done (valve clearences, shims, plugs etc) as if these miss the 12,000 interval by a lot it can affect the asking price on re-sale.

Did I mention it was still doing 24mpg on full chat round Snetterton??? - Crazy!

Eh? Did you take the GB racing stuff off for the trackday? The cases are so vulnerable on these bikes. I used the GB racing stuff for a while and it is good and does that job, but found that after 1 slide, they would wear down pretty quickly and probably wouldn't survive a 2nd so ended up switching out to Woodcraft cases instead.

I raced a 675 for a few seasons before switching the NC30... I love these bikes!
