Re: [ST] 675 wins middle-weight shootout!

True, but while we all knew that (and a few magazine editors admitted that the 600/650 might be a better road bike), they still put it in last place or near to last.  Now the reviews are putting the bike on top.  So there is a change in mentality.  The Daytona may be a better road bike, but it now also appears to be a worthy track weapon - best of both worlds!
 
It would be nice to see it some races though....
 
Anybody have any news on the British Supersport series?

So  Motorcycle Online just published their 2006 middle-weight shootout.  They 
heap praise on the 675, and it won hands down.



Three days ago I got the newest issue of "Cycle News" and they did an 8  page 
spread on "their" 6 bike middleweight shoot-out and the 675 won by a pretty  
big margin. It is a pretty good read.
  It is just unfortunate that unless it's a winning race bike it's  perceived 
to be less as a street bike. We all know that a good race bike and a  street 
bike have little in common. The TT 600, Daytona's 600 & 650 were/are  great 
street bikes (ergo's,handling,brakes,etc.). But because it was .06  of a second 
here, 5 lbs. there, 3 hp. less here, it was always perceived as  less.  I 
think that with a set of Givi. Krauser, or Hepco Becker  bags  it would make a 
fine one-up sport tourer.
