I think they deal with the Daytona's brakes might be the same as the base F4's: matching the monobloc calipers with a master cylinder that don't compliment each other.  I know the base F4 uses a Nissin master. Can't quite figure out why the guys at MV did that...

And yes, they are using the real deal Öhlins bouncy bits. The Daytona is supposed to sell for something like $11.5K, which is a pretty good deal, but I wish they had done something to the motor instead of just slapping on a quick-shifter.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Let's see if I have this timeline right.  Sold the 800 Monster to get the Daytona. The SC was already a done deal and wasn't contingent on the Monster. Daytona sold to get the Super Duke. Now selling the Super Duke to get a Daytona? ? ?

As for that 675 engine......... whatcha need is a used 848 or a 999.   Evil  That way you can  have leftover money to put on the suspension that you want and have the engine you want.   Evil

Or was it, in fact, the other way around and the Daytona was first and then the Monster sold to get the SC? That might have been the way it went down. Obviously, I forget.

I forget.

Had the monster first, then picked up the Daytona (mostly your fault). Sold the monster for the SC, and later sold the Daytona for the SD.  Ideally, I'll wait another year until I start the civi job before doing anything. That way I can have three.   Grin

Rain.......rain........rain.........crap.  It looks clear over the top of the Pali but everywhere else over here looks something like Mordor.  Out over the water, upwind from here, it's just a solid mass of gray yuck. Looks like it's headed our way. I've already been up & clearing grapefruit sized rocks off the road.  Shocked  Tantalus might be hopeless for a few days even if it clears.  Roll Eyes

Wish Canes hadn't gotten in an imaginary pissing contest on the forum. Not a bad dude, but he did carry 2 5 inch KABARs on a shoulder holster rig when I went for a ride with him yesterday. He's really prepared for the zombie apocalyple  Grin

Well, he sure came off as a douche.  It'll be interesting when HPD pulls him over for something (like a bike that isn't legal) and catches a glimpse of those knives.  Bet he'll have a grand ol' time getting poked in the pokey.

He does have a habit of crossing the double yellow to pass on Kam hwy east of Haleiwa, and exceeding the posted speed limits
