Default So I am getting my first bike

OK well I finally decided which bike I am going to get. I was looking at ducati 749's over the summer and I still was until 2 weeks ago then I got on the 600rr kick. Which is a really nice bike not downing it at all i felt really comfortable on gazoo's. Then I saw the Triumph Daytona 675. I really like the way it looks and I have heard great things about them. I will admit it might not be the best beginners bike as a few have told me but i have had people that feel that the ducati would be a decent starter. So I found a 2006 Scorched Yellow that was laid down in Philadelphia. He avoided a drunk driver that was going to hit him head on.

79xx miles.
Motor just rebuilt by Bill Himmelsbach (less than 200 miles ago)
Lot's of port work to the head too (less than 200 miles ago)
Pirelli Diablo Corsa III's (brand new)
Two Bro's Carbon Slip On
Power Commander
HyperPro Active Damper
520 Conversion
-1,+1 Vortex Sprockets
Smoked Rear Integrator
Flush Mounts up front
Pazzo Levers (full length gold w/ black adjusters)










I am going up there on the 9th of November and wont be back until the 12th. I have family up there and dont get to see them that often. So I will make the trip count!!

I'm jealous, that's a very nice bike.

Be careful, thats a wheelie machine right there. Any idea what it's putting at the wheel?

I'm guessing 120+hp with the mods you described.
