I personally havent heard of any issues with the 675 and the speed triple is supposed to be a funny hooligan bike. The 675 comes with steel braided lines and supercorsas. The steel braided lines should come on every bike ever produced.
I’ve ridden the 675’s and they are a nice little package. I bet walter will confirm, as will joe, and aaron. (They all own 675’s)
Btw, they crash very well too. I know 2 people who went down on their 675s and didnt do BARELY any damage.
