That's a lovely looking Daytona, ride safe. I bought this a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love it!

Very nice - I could of got one of those but thought I would worm my way back to two wheels slowly so 130Bhp and a total wet weight bike of 185Kg was a good way to do this

Didn't realise they were so lightweight, I'm sure it's lovely to ride. 600cc (or 675cc) is just perfect for a good time on UK roads. Anything more is just lary (guilty as charged) and takes you into licence-losing territory after two seconds of wide open throttle.

As I'm without S8, an Italian bike should still keep me in potential money pit territory
