Thought I would add my contribution to this thread and I hope these photo links work.
I will start with my latest bike and work backwards as that will give me some time to dig out some older snaps…but in the meantime, here’s the current stable…
94 RVF bought December 2010 – still owned
09 Daytona 675SE bought April 2010 – still owned
82 Honda XL500R bought summer 2007 – still owned but for sale
(2 previous owners with 18k km on the clock)
06 Daytona 675 bought January 2006 – sold March 2010
This was brought into Sweden a few months before the official launch and was the first 675 in the country. It sat in my garage for 3 months until the winter weather buggered off
(This is from Brecon Beacons 2 years ago and the first time I rode the RVF, little did I know I would be owning it

)

It was only yesterday I was talking to my dad and he asked me if I was to have 2 bikes in my garage, what would they be and I said my current NC30 and a new Daytona 675.
Lovely bikes you go there pal, I take it your fond of the triples?

Cheers,
I'm on my second 675 and cannot fault them, the fist one I had for 4 years without a single issue. It was ridden to UK and back every summer and even though its no tourer, the journey was easy enough.
The white one, I bought it online and flew over to UK to collect it and ride it back it 2 days later only to track it 3 days after that
Lovely bikes and getting rather popular over here and sell well with a good following.

I always look at 675's and think ''one day....."
I'll have one within the next 2 years.

What is it about a 675 that NC owners like? Because I would also love a 675. Next bike on the list for me.

And I quote my previous statement....

That time is now. I sign the log book on tuesday for the 675. I cannot wait!

O.S - what screen is that on your 675 in the pic next to your NC35. I need a taller screen as I'm 6ft I cannot see the top part of the rev counter!

It's the higher one from Triumph, nothing fancy but it helped on the rides to/from UK.
