Hello all,
I've been thinking about picking up another bike lately, currently riding an sv650s, and have come to the conclusion of either an f3 675 or a daytona. I had the opportunity to go an look at f3's today and found it surprisingly comfortable for being 6'3". I'm going to go look at daytona's tomorrow and just wanted some general insight to compare the two bikes. So far everyone has said the positions are vastly different in that you ride the f3 but are basically perched on the daytona. The bike will be used for just about everything from short commutes, 50+ mile commutes, canyon carving, and potentially track days. Obviously I understand that theyre both supersports and I dont expect to be comfortable on longer commutes. I had the opportunity to talk to a lady today who owns an f3 and owned a daytona about which was best. We basically came to the conclusion that the daytona is a superior motorcycle but 99% of people wont ride hard enough to experience a difference between the two. If that's the case then the f3 is clearly the way to go because, well, one bike looks good and the other could be used as art in my living room.
So, any comparisons between the two would be fantastic. Also, if anyone wouldnt mind sharing what they pay for insurance I would appreciate it. I live in southern California and for some reason theres a 7000 a year difference between the two bikes for me. No clue why but the daytona is 1200 a year full coverage and the f3 is pushing 9000 a year for equal coverage.
