I'll trade my 750 for a daytona 8 days a week!

get a tuneboy and a full system? should be easy to make 115-120 whp without dropping too much coin.

if you want moar torque, i think there's only one answer for you: liter twin.

My options are slim, though.

And I'm not sure I want to end up on a RC51

998/999? pricey for what they are, though.

my main gripe with the 750 is that it's hard to get it to turn like the daytona did. the steering seems slow. it's a bit of a struggle to get it to handle the technical bits that way i'd like it to.

i'm not done jiggering with settings though.

most of the jiggering is suspension settings and parts. a ohlins/elka/penske is a must if you're a normal size man, fork revalve is also a good idea. after that, you'd have to set the ride height and spin the dials to get it right, but a suspension guy could do that for you.

To this point i've done everything besides rework the forks. I also haven't experimented too much with ride height either. My next track day i'm going to raise the rear and see if that helps, and eventually try a 180/55 (vs. the 190/55 i've been on) and see if that makes the bike want to turn faster. All in all, mostly stuff you can do on a streetbike too.

If your looking for an ape... try and stay with the 03 model mille or the 04+ rsvr for that 110-120hp area.

the older 98-99 and the 00-02 milles are slightly less edgy and are a step behind those mentioned above

I was in the same boat, except I wanted an RC51 badly. I did get a superhawk but that was just to get used to the liter twin class. Very comfy bike and great torque/power but its not suitable for sporty rides out of the box at all. My next bike may be a 954rr though. Which i would consider middleweight +10hp.

I want something lightweight with a lot of torque but I cant afford a new Ducati . However that custom SXV 5.5 on ebay inspired me to do a build....hmmm...

Its going to be hard to top the daytona's flickability, very aggressive front end geometry.
