That 675 is gonna be a wild ride too. Though unless you want the full committed RR riding position I would look elsewhere, everything I have heard about the 675 states that it is every bit as uncomfortable as the japanese 600 race reps.
There is supposed to be a naked 675 coming out next year to replace the speed four, knowing triumph the engine will be the full spec dayona engine.
I have sat on the S2R myself and though it has an aggressive riding position I found it quite comfy. I personally prefer the dark version myself.

Aggressive???? It's like an Lazy-Boy recliner compared to everything else that I have owned for the past 16 years!jmillheiser wrote: I have sat on the S2R myself and though it has an aggressive riding position I found it quite comfy. I personally prefer the dark version myself.

Compared to my bike which is also a standard its aggressive.
Oddly its quite comfy despite being leaned forward a ways. Its definately an agressive position for a standard.
Granted I know of a few standards that rate right up there with race rep sportbikes for torture rack riding position, the BMW K1200R comes to mind (think comfy standard peg position with a REALLY long reach to the bars)

I dunno, I wish for black wheels everytime it's time to clean those shiney white wheels....HYPERR wrote:The S2R & the S2R1000 in the Red w/ the white wheels was the best color combo for those bikes IMO. Too bad they only make the red now with the black wheels.

That's true. Since white on the body stays much cleaner looking than black on the body, I assumed the same for wheels. However since brake dust and used chain lube are all dark, I can see how it's a nightmare to keep clean. I guess that's why Ducati discontinued it?High_Side wrote:I dunno, I wish for black wheels everytime it's time to clean those shiney white wheels....HYPERR wrote:The S2R & the S2R1000 in the Red w/ the white wheels was the best color combo for those bikes IMO.

They bring 'em back every few years. They've been doing so since the eighties.HYPERR wrote:I can see how it's a nightmare to keep clean. I guess that's why Ducati discontinued it?
