okay so i saw the D675 in person and sat on it for the first time the other day. all the pics of it look so bad a$$, but when i saw it in person, it just didn't do it for me. don't get me wrong, i think it is a sharp looking bike, but man it is just so tiny. does that make me a bad person?? :wink:

Anything's possible.

Anything, that is, including the 675 not being for everyone. I've got mine and I love it but bikes are very personal things. If everyone liked it I might've had to wait longer for mine.

Cheers,

Greg

Thats a bit different from my experience. I find that the 675 is both a talller and longer bike than my Speed Triple ('05). I'm 6'4" and feel quite nice on it. Finally a sportbike that doesnt make me look like a bear on a tricycle. You do feel the wheelbase difference from one bike to the other (maybe just the rake).

you guys are right, it is a case by case basis. maybe with all the fairings yanked off, everything blacked out, and a nice set of risers and renthal bars it would look a little bigger to me :-D oh yea, what are the two different fill plugs for on the right side of the engine??

Don't know why they did it this way but one is to dip the oil and one's a filler if you need to put some in.

*shrug*
