05/06 Daytona, owners opinions........................................

Sorry, I had to tell the truth as I see it.........................Mad`

Oh yeah, I like my 05 Daytona even more than my 05 S3.

Why? I like to go fast and the Daytona wants to run fast.

My turbo Busa is overkill and not fun to ride. 5th gear power wheelies are a little too much.

I have the TOR can and the MAP on my black SE Daytona. At about 110 MPH in 5th gear it really starts to growl and pick up speed quickly when it's getting on the cam.
Never had one single problem with the bike in 4K miles so far.
If I had it to do again I'd pass on the S3 and go for the 05 955i Daytona. Did I mention a Daytona will spank a 1050 S3 badly? I know cause I have both.

Mad, what's up wit you man? Have you gone mad? :hihi: Why would you say you would give up your S3 and go with the Daytona if you had it to do over again? Geez, you got both! What more could you ask for? Alright, maybe, a turbo Busa. Heck, you've got that too!!! Anyways, point is, we all know(I'm assuming we all do), that the Daytona is quicker, I didn't sell my R1 and buy an S3 because it was quicker. I bought my S3 because of the pure fun it is! If I wanted the quickest thing out, I wouldn't purchase a Daytona either, I would've kept my R1 and spanked your Daytona and your S3!!! :-D All I'm saying is, big whoop, the Daytona's quicker, I'm sure the majority of S3 owners didn't purchase their bike because they thought it was faster than most supersports. S3 owners purchase their bikes for 2 reasons, fun factor and cool factor! Glad you like your Daytona, I'm sure it must fit your riding style the best. The thing I love the most about the S3, I can hang or blow by most sportbike riders, and be pretty comfy while doing it! I purchased mine for the simple fact that it performs, and gives me a break from those aching wrists at the end of a 400 mile day on my R1!!! :-D Btw, if that turbo Busa is just too much for you, this is my last offer, bring it by, and I'll take care of it for you!!! :-D Cheers! :chug:

Just to let you guys know,if I had it to do over again I would go with the S3 over the Bonneville.
Did I mention that the S3 is faster than the Bonneville?

Just drop 1 in the front and go up 3 in the rear and I seriously doubt the daytona will keep up with the S3 from 0-110...

I don't know about that Kuhlka. I'm sure it would be awful hard to keep that front end on the ground from 0-110 with that gearing!!! :-D That just sounds like a accident waiting to happen, mine wheelies now at 3000 rpm on just throttle, with that gearing, your talking instant wheelie!!! :hihi:
