    Little review of the RS would be great if you could mate. I’m looking to get one in the new year, need to get a test ride first but any thoughts would be great. Especially coming from a blade previously.

    Not really the man to give an in-depth review on it, it certainly can’t be compared to the fireblade my sp is a missile and the RS isn’t, I am sure on the twisty roads I would be as quick and you can definitely see more being upright. I am lucky to have both bikes in the garage but there totally different. A friend of mine is starting a race series next year using the 765 and he has been doing some testing and his lap times are very impressive and would take a very good rider on a fireblade to match those times. The Triumph is a very well built bike and very good quality but the SP beats it but at 20k it should, go and try one and see how it goes I am a Triumph lover having had street triples from 09 speed triples and have owned 3 Daytona 675r which are bloody good and just about right for road riding I do feel the 1000cc sports bikes have now gone down the road of let’s see how much bhp we can get.

    I loved my 675R and chopped the 09 blade in for it. It was like riding a BMX with a powerful engine in my opinion. Can’t comment on the 765 but in the end I went back to a Daytona 675 as I was missing the sports riding position and I’d probably still own the Tona if I hadn’t just purchased a new MT10.......that’s like a Street Triple on steroids!

    Ah right. Did see that, but it's miles away from me. (Says the guy who tried to send @dmc12 to Edinburgh to look at a RR7:rolleyes:)

    Awesome looking bike the gold is a lovely colour, I prefer the blue with gold wheels.
    I keep looking for the original 2006 in Graphite Grey that hasn't had a hard life with full history and lowish miles, I will find one, another one for the man cave but running out of room fast ha ha

    Decals look magic. Fitting them yourself with heat gun/hair dryer or by a pro?

Handles like it’s on rails, brakes are amazing and that’s with oem pads, the rapid evo qs/blipper is the awesome.

    Helmet is super impressive. Do you mind posting or PMing who did it?

    I had searched for helmet painters but never wanted to fly blind in case I got a crap job.
