[ST] Daytona test
Motorcycle News dated 16 May (the UK's MCN) has the first test I've seen of
the new Daytona. I expect it'll be on their web site soon too. There's too
much to say to do it justice here, but it sounds pretty good - smaller,
lighter, quicker-turning, up 19 to 147 bhp, a new higher 12,000 rpm limit
... but keeping the same torque at the same revs as the old one, and made a
bit more comfortable too. The induction sound is apparently very good! They
say it doesn't quite match say an R1, but is probably now a match for a
Fireblade. Sounds pretty good to me.
