Holy **** I'm in love
I have a Sprint ST which is basically the same engine (proudly a bit better since 06). It is fun isn't it. I just did an 8 day, 3,000 mile trip and it never let me down (look for my ride report coming up). Passing slow traffic without downshifting. Most times I had to brake after the pass because I would have overtaken my hubby on his VFR800. lol I have a 2014 Street Triple R (675) too. It has almost as much torque as my Sprint but is so much more flickable. With full saddlebags, I would have loved having the lighter weight STR when we got to the twisties.

Being the new owner of a Daytona 675, you've every reason to be in love. Incredible engine characteristics, eh?!
(Although, you definitely had more displacement than I do having rode that particular bike)

Speaking of 675s... I just rented a Street Triple R and rode the Tail of the Dragon and roads in the area What a blast.

You were able to rent something other than a Harley there?
Or rented and rode there....

Yeah, there's a place right on US129 about 45 minutes from the gap. They rent sportbikes, touring bikes, and standards (like the streety).

Cool, thanks for that. It'd be nice to fly in and dog someone else' bike!

For sure, in my case I was on a road trip and was passing through the area. Figured I could stop and spend a day riding, but didn't want to tow my bike along for ten days and only ride it once.

The Triples are a blast. I had an older 955i Daytona prior to the FZ. The torque and exhaust note are phenomenal.
