Here's our Triumph Daytona 675R; best handling bike I have ever ridden, until the 1299S. It's my Wife's and mostly reserved for her trackdays, but I get to ride it sometimes.

I had this one set up with a full set of JRZ triple adjustables with remote reservoirs and quick disconnects. Played with the suspension settings until it was just perfect. The 2003 GT2 "widowmaker" shipped from the factory with HORRIBLE front end geometry, supposedly to stop customers crashing - after lots of adjustments, it ended up phenomenal.. I cut some 1:36 laps at Laguna Seca in traffic and that's quick.
Loved that car, but sold it, because I just like my motorcycles better.

I'm the same Shilling, not quite up to the GT2 standard but had the Cayman S, fantastic fun up the range at home but just wasn't a bike, had it for three years then sold it and got the 1199, needed the bike fix.

Yes and mine was 1 of 1, because it was ordered from the factory with a custom leather interior (baseball glove leather) and a custom Alcantara headliner; it also had the sport seats with the painted seatbacks to match the exterior and the painted center console/tunnel..
It was freaking gorgeous and the most exciting and demanding Car I have ever driven, but after owning it for a few years, I realized it spent way too much time in the garage and on the track and not enough time being driven by me on the street... Every weekend when it came to choosing, I chose my motorcycles.
I eventually got an offer I couldn't refuse and sold it.. No more sports cars in my garage anymore, I just don't love them the way I used to.. Today's Motorcycles are WAAAAY more exciting than any Car I have driven.

Agree - but I'm not giving up my tt FD RX-7 with 370 rwhp - raw, visceral, light (2800 lbs)
Makes these modern sedans feel like boat anchors - and smokes Cayman S's for about 1/3 the cost

I made a similar decision when I sold my 2009 Z06. I loved driving it but was putting five time the number of miles on the bikes.

Nice FD. I'm a fan of the 90's Golden Era Japanese cars too. Hopefully I won't be forced to sell her once children start coming into the equation.
