Pretty much, new ones 636 old was 599...

Not had a go on it yet, one of my mates picked it up for me today, the new one has about an extra 15bhp so should be pretty noticeable. Will take it for a run next week if the weather is reasonable...

Yeh did my DAS back in July.. It doesnt have a manual fuel switch but it does have a manual choke which is weird considering its injected..

Very nice. Tail tidy and can look really smart. IMO i'd ditch the rear foot pegs f your not gonna use them. I'm going to look at a Daytona 675 on wednesday, had my old R6 for a year now so time to change. Bikes are so much better than cars. Just take it steady this time of year!!

i dont use it in the winter, just take it round the block every couple of weeks to keep it going. Going to put the standard screen bk on tommorow and give it a good polish..

Love the akrapovic can. Has it been remapped to suit? Should be pushing 110bhp, maybe a bit more.

Had quite a few bikes now. Check out www.gaz-racing.co.uk
