Re: [ST] Melbourne Daytona



Richard, two things:

1) After riding the new 675 at our demo day yesterday,
I would not assume that what you saw was neccesarily a
955, because believe me, that little f**cker flies !!!

2)After having ridden my friends 2001 Daytona back to
back with my 02 RS, I had always wondered about
swapping those engines as well. Love the Daytona
engine, but the ergos are to cramped for me. It seemed
that the power came on  100 rpm earlier, and continued
to redline, which was a 1000 rpm later...most
impressive..
