I am helping a buddy find a good first bike. I found a 2005 Daytona 650, 34k miles, needs tires/radiator fan. I'll be inspecting and test riding for him on Sunday since he doesn't have his license yet.
I think its a fantastic 1st bike in comparison to the Jap 600s. Softer suspension, longer reach to bars, better leg position, and a good chunk more torque, closer to the D 675 power band than the typical 600 4 cylinder bikes.
Aside from the "No one should start on a 600 Supersport they are too high strung" objection, anyone know of any reason to run far and fast from a Daytona 650?
