Hi all just thought I would say hey. Been doin some googlin and this site has poped up a few times. I have brought a new 675R and am waiting for it to be delivered. It's takin forever. I've had a few bikes from my ped to a R6 to my current work horse a CB600 Hornet. Can't wait to have a bike as a toy again. I'm in Derby so will have to try and meet up for a ride out sometime this summer. Thanks Graham
Alright mate welcome to the .cc !! im just over near Long Eaton ! good to meet a fellow local are you into your track days at all ?
Welcome Graham, Poor you, I hate waiting too, I'm rubbish at it. It'll all be worth it in the end. Mind you, no so 'poor you' soon when you have a nice new shiny toy. Mine's not as spangly new as yours, it was one of the 1st ones out of the factory in 2006, but I've loved it ever since. Hope you don't have to wait too long.
Welcome to the site I'm in derby also mate. My 675 off the road at the minute but hoping soon running Don't listen to lads on here reference shopping they'll empty your wallet for you lil
you had any problems in that time? i found the finish on them to be quite poor with rusting bolts an furring up metal bits. im gettin frustrated with the wait now. haha graham
GSXR-Sniper87 where abouts in Derby are you? yer you can spend many a days round the peak district and that. graham
Welcome to the site, I'm just a bit north of you and some of the other lads here in Buxton. How much longer will you have to wait to pick up the bike?
No, mines been great, but having said that it's never been a road bike. Brand new out of the crate straight on track. Only rusty bolts I have had were the exhaust headers, but I think that's pretty common with all bikes. It has the odd niggle now and again, but I'd expect that with a 9 year old bike, but I try to look after him well and he continues to do me proud.
Welcome along graham.......am in Macclesfield always round Matlock etc We should have a mini northern fest
That makes two of us! I've got a hack Hornet and a Daytona trackbike and live in Boulton Moor Give us a shout when you're going out for a ride and I might just tag along!
Yer always up for a ride out. It was Ment to be ready 6 weeks ago. So no idea when it will be ready. Keeps Gettin delayed week after week. Hopefully in the next week or 2. I sold my track bike last year but I was planning on taking the Hornet(a lot cheaper than the 675) but it runs like a bag of sh1t so I've been throwing time and money at it left right and centre. If I ever get it sorted I will track that. Tommylad what years your Hornet? Mines a 08 and it runs terrible. The throttle is really snatchy making slow ridin really difficult. Had a look at 675fest. Might tag along for a day but need to spend all my money on the 675. Haha. Graham
