true statement. guys, RR1 is a man who knows about what he speaks. i literally made the same EXACT comment myself after first riding one back in ’07/’08. ironically, only someone who’s had exposure to a lot of different bikes and engine variety is able to say such things about the 675 motor. if you’ve only ever been on say, 1 or 2 bikes…? you might not appreciate it fully, which prolly explains why i don’t see many, despite a triumph dealer being nearby. this is first engine i’ve been on that (to me) doesn’t need anything, no fancy electrics, no TC, no fly by wire, no A/B power settings, nothing. damn thing doesn’t even need an EXHAUST…! it’s “pure unadultered motorcycling” right off the showroom floor. there isn’t another bike/engine i can point to and say that.

A brand new aluminium beam twin-spar frame meets a new two piece high pressure die cast rear subframe. Not only is the chassis robust and hard-edged, it’s also advanced. Engineered to optimise dynamism, agility and rider enjoyment, the design is lighter thanks to fewer pieces and fewer welds in the frame." and i would hope based on data accrued from WSS...? :) re: “Heralding the change is an all new chassis.

Look at the MV Agusta Brutale 675. Still think it's almost ? MV is waaaaay more beautiful. This is a mashup of jap stuff - for example, the exhaust is straight off a Honda. ..almost ?

Light, quick effortless steering and very comfy ergos. the styling takes some getting used to – but I took a 2011 around the track for 30 minutes and it was a lot of fun.
