Had the NRC integrated tail installed straight away at the dealership.
Looks great. The leds are very bright. It sits nice and flush. You do need resistors to get the blink rate to sync to Aussie standards. Had to drill two holes in the original plate to get it to bolt up. I plan to get personalized plates soon so those should look a lot better and neatly tuck away.

Rest of the bike is stock.

Enjoyed it on the way back home from the dealership. Euro 4 compliance means the bike sounds very quiet though it does have a nice rasp when on song. Have started off in sport mode and no issues with the ride quality and confidence (I am a fairly decent rider - I would like to think so anyways!)

Welcome to the club mate. Looks awesome in black


You mentioned sports mode

I found the below settings to be more suited when on long ride days - in sports mode the throttle sensitivity over bumps becomes problematic.


Power Mode: Custom
Traction Control: 1
Gas Sensitivity: Normal
Engine Brake: Sport
Maximum Torque: Sport
Engine Response: Slow
RPM Limiter: Sport

Where on the rather large island/continent of Australia are you?? Please add your local to your profile.

Good looking bike (of course).

LOVE this bike in all matte black, and almost went the same route. It really is one of the few that can really pull this off.

Usually, all black black paint benefits fugly bikes by hiding their undesirable features.

Yet somehow, with that red frame, jaw-dropping nose cowl... just looks so good. And you won't need to paint your mirrors!
Panigales's can't do all black nearly as well.
Curious to see result of painting pegs. But if you're looking to go aftermarket down the road, there are options made in black...

I noticed with the newer euro4 exhaust (which I think looks awesome, btw), the passenger pegs support them. Would this prohibit their removal? I keep mine on, but I know most riders like to take those off.

Thats why I went with the Matt avio grey.(no black fairings for 675) The red pops really well.
+the 4 shades of grey you get when the bike stands in the sun is pure pr0n. >:)

Took off the red factory rim tape streak. It looks incomplete in my opinion only halfway across the rim. Also I want to black out the bike and only red bit is going to be the frame !

Before and after pic...still needs a bit of residue to be removed which I will do tmrw.
