Heres my new one. Pick it up tomorrow.
Yamaha R6 on a 05 plate. 2 Owners, 10k on the clock and looks like it has just come out of the crate!

Whys that?
Pinlocks mainly Arai, and we've had those before. Our Lids are Xlites (not cheap) and don't need pinlocks, its got a proper visor that pops up in stages.
Pinlocks are only needed to stop visors flicking up at high speeds or if you spin your head round to see whats behind you (as I forgot about on my cheapy Rossi lid when turning round to see how far back the old man is  ).

Best of the R6's imo. Better mid range at the sacrifice of top end power and stupid rpm and waiting for it to wind up to the powerband.

Been looking for a while and it was the best I have seen, didn't want the older one as it looks a bit dated, and I'm not too keen on the newer looking ones.

You obviously don't know what a pinlock is then?
Pinlocked visor....
Makes it double glazed sort of to stop misting, they are brilliant.

That's awsome. Love the single sided swingarm, 3 stubby pipes and the space under the rear seats looks wierd but cool. Wish I could ride sports bikes but my back is not upto it any more.

Thats a visor insert pinlock. Not so good on a cold winter day, and thats what washing up liquid is for  Its just one of many things to stop demisting. Cost £20, and I have one on my fancy green lid. Had it for about 4 years now
This is Arai's Pinlock im on about. Black clip down the bottom, thats a locking mechinism. Also known as a pinlock.
675 is fantastic, hopefully get to ride on soon. Slightly worse than a 675R trumpet, but I can't wait for the R model from MV. Hows it feel? The F4 was far too top heavy but went like sh1t off a shovel at high speeds.
I can't afford 10k on a trackbike, its why I stopped using the Benelli and got the CBR. Less expensive to crash

Feels very light, compared to my 848, it just drops into corners and pulls like a train. Didnt rate the daytona r model pre facelift seemed dated now when i rode it. Having said that the MV is shocking in slow traffic. So lumpy until 4.5k
