Compared to the Daytona...
Less power (123bhp vs 147), more torque but the Daytona has that aplenty anyway. Much less radical riding position so more comfy, however the kids thought it less so on the back..?
Gearbox felt much better, especially hard downshifts from speed... 
Engine felt to have more vibration and seemed a bit worse on petrol.
I'll stick to the Daytona for now..... |

So that'll be a carbed one then... better that than an early injected one.
Just be wary of brittle rubbery bits on seldom used low mileage old bikes.

P.S. The analogue speedo on older blackbirds does not start where you expect it to and often you can end up going a lot faster than you think you are - be careful
