    Cheers guys I've actually been offered a black 675 Daytona with accident damage and a lil but if cash my way hence why I'm trying to find prices for the items so just trying to figure out if its a worthwhile investment on my part.

    Moving on from the what is the riding experience like in comparison to a gixxer are the Daytona quicker I know there lighter to throw around but that's where my knowledge stops on them lol
     
  9. ill swap you my daytona for your house in aus..... and ill only do this because im a nice guy

    Welcome in Patrick!!! :D
     
  16. Welcome to the site mate
     
  17. Go for it buddy, you only live once so why think about it if its there and waiting. I'm sure when you get it all fixed up you'll be loving it just as much as us. What was the damage to it anyway, cosmetic?

    Welcome in and I look forward to seeing the pics if your new baby!

    Hi there Patrick, if you like the bends more than the straights, and place character and soul high up on your list of desirable qualities in your next bike, you could be 675 owner very soon. Enjoy the forum and have fun looking for a 675. :cool:

    Yea well that's what I'm thinking its not every day you get offered a 675 Daytona plus cash your way damage wise it's

    Smashed front nose cone

    Right hand side fairings

    Ducktail

    Instrument cluster is destroyed

    Top triple clamp is destroyed as well as ignition barrel and key

    Tank is dent in on both sides and the the normal crap like pegs and rear sets aswell as the clipons and swithblocks

    So it's got a fairly big list of stuff that needs doing.
