I always thought that the dayatona had a smiley face on the front from the headlights and intake.

Me too!! For me the head on view is the worst of the bike, I always expect it to stick it's tongue out of the air intake!!

Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

It looked fine until you said that! Now all I can see when trying to look at the picture is the fucking smiley face! Laughing

That bike does look VERY nice mind you, Go easy with those brand new unscrubbed tyres.

Eh?!?!? 1000miles on them, large chicken strips though as I am building up my confidence after having my leg broken by a double decker bus last year.

very nice,

The only thing im not too sure on them is the back end. I reckon though if you could get a yellow undertray to match the bike and a tail tidy it would look sweet. And maybe some more modern looking LED rear lights.

Im very tempted to get one next year though. Is that a race can I spy?? how do they sound?

Yep, I'm gonna tidy up the rear end when I get time. Was thinking about fitting the "runway" style SV rear lights, or make my own.

Only thing about the yellow is that it really shows the dirt! Have to clean after nearly every ride!

And yes, it's a carbon can. Sounds sweeeeeeet!!

Dude, that is sweet. Daytona 650 looks the absolute business. Saw one in red this morning and thought it looked ace. The extra 50 cc means you should be able to power wheely it. Nice.

Not a huge fan of the bit of Union Jack tart on the front, but like it very very much. Excellent choice that man... Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
