Went out last night to go pose & watch MNF downtown with a scoot-jockey bud.
Was buzzed by a squid on a newish Ninja ZX-10R doing a wheelie and easily hitting 80+ MPH in a 35 MPH main street boulevard. Guy wanted to show us what time it is, hard.
We putt-putted up to the lights and I saw that he didn't have plates. I shouted "Nice work, squid!!" but he ignored me at that point. If you don't stunt then you're Little People, I suppose.
You've done enough (accidental) wheelies in your day?
Yeah but I'm no stunter and never wanted to be. #accidentalwheelieist
All I've ever wanted to do on a motorcycle is rail.
I'm jinxing this deal talking about it before it happens buuuut...
Looking to trade in the 2011 Daytona (non-ABS) on this 2013 Speedy (w/. EFI):
Reflectors off and the battery strap needs to be replaced with a flat bar of black satin.
Other than that, I should be good to go.

EDIT: Sportbike guy ends up testing out a Speedmaster:

Deal done did!
Really not much to tell: my 2011 Daytona 675 w/. 17.5K miles + $500 + tax for this 2013 Speedy w/. 10K miles. #shrug
Cheap bike deals really don't have a lot of drama to them.
I was pretty booked with watching the Boy while the Wife went to her aerial silks practice so I didn't get a chance to attack the bike until late. Even so, after getting the cheap-ass saddle bags & sissy bar off as well as flossing the front reflectors off, I still went out for a little cruise.
Needs a proper clean-up but doesn't look too shabby, I don't think.
Nice, saw it on FB and figured when you hadn't posted here you were out riding. October in Wisconsin? What better time to buy a motorcycle.
I am happy for you, but a little disappointed that you traded a sport bike for a cruiser.
I still have the Street Triple for railing/dragging knee/wheelies/etc.
There is literally nothing I could do on the Daytona than I can't do on this Daytona-derived bike.
