rode the hawk again :] and a daytona 675 and of course my rc51 :]
 

haha i just rode my hawk again tonight. been a DAMN long time. forgot to mention i've been riding around a little harley sportster 883 on weekends away from school. different feel definitely, but its kinda fun whacking the throttle open and it doesnt do much for a while, then u hear that "rolling thunder" come on haha.

but yeah, my friend is thinking about selling his 07 daytona 675, so i asked him if i could "test ride it" LOL. omfg whoever said 600's were slow ?!?!??! i mean, wtf, the bugger HAULED (from my seat of the pants assessment anyways). i mean, its not the same feeling as a twin, but it was VERY respectable. i thought it was gonna be like "oh whatever lemme whack the crap outta this thing" its a shame, i think only my rc51 pulls harder :(

to those who have asked about rc51 vs superhawk comparisons before: the hawk is 100x easier to ride when you're not cornering at like >40mph. hands down. the hawk is a little heavy yes, but compared to the rc around town, its bloody outright flickable.

mad respect to the 675 though i wouldnt mind riding one at all.

:thumbsup:

Slow speed on an RC it feels like a truck... But push it and it comes alive...:)

And nah... the new 600's ain't slow by anyones standard... takes a bit of wringing... but then they are really fast... Feels entirely different as you said though...

daytona 675 will be my next bike. its not an I-4. its a triple. more torque than an I-4 without the sissy sound. I always loved that bike.

The 675 is surprisingly torquey, doesn't need to have its engine wound to 5 digits to make power.

From what I hear, and I believe it because I have sat on one, it's one of the most uncomfortable rides out there.

I think it depends on the rider. I have sat on them and I can tell you, they are small. dimensions are smaller than the 600cc bikes. some like it, but big guys not so much.

yeah theyre skinny and tall. to me, they were the most committed ergos, gsxr being least. i mean, u KNOW the bike means business when u sit on it. ducati-esque almost :]

Yeah... it's a business stance alright... Unfortunately it felt like a toy bike under me... To small as I'm 6'3"...

yeah really small...same thing with the 07 cbr600rrs for me. they felt almost like scooters...until u revved them LOL

TRIUMPH..... There is no substitute,'nuff said...

I've test ridden the 675 and I thought it was very cool - fast, good handling, good stopping, good looking, too. But at 6'2" it was too race oriented for my typical riding. I'd like to try the Street Triple - it's gotten very good reviews. The Speed Triple ain't bad neither.
