Yeah, went and looked at a daytona yesterday to see what they were all about in person. Gotta say the bike exceed my expectations. I will be test riding one soon and am wondering if you guys can give me any pointers on what to look for incase any things wrong?

Also, the guy initialy quoted 9 sticker price, and 10,400 out the door. That seemd a little steep. I could definetly get a helmet and gloves outa the deal, but still 1,400 jump in price just out the door?

Also, I am mainly consernd with the issues dealing with reliablity, the shop mechanic said they sold 10 last year and none have came back with issues other than the usual interval maint. Are the issues surrounding the daytona real? I plan to ride street and ride alot of it (10-15 k a year). So most of the riding will be commuting and joy riding, not too much crazy stuff.

Any info on the 675 would be greatly appriciated.
