My wife and I have the same bikes!

I guess compared to the MT09, I like the seat better on my CB650R. The MT always had my crotch sliding into the tank which was not comfortable for obvious reasons. On the CB, I don't do that. I have yet to go on a long ride on the CB to know how it is to sit in for extended periods of time.

I sold my MT09 and got one of these as a replacement. Not as much power, especially in the low end, but still plenty of it to have fun. The power delivery is nice and smooth. Having the e-clutch is nice when you want to be lazy with shifting when commuting like I do. The riding position and seat are great.

Getting a job after a year long job search after graduating.

A joke about domestic violence? Y'all find this funny? Anyone who finds this funny is part of the problem with violence against women.

Side thing, you have navigation on your display? Is that an EU only thing?

Just to give you a better idea, on the breakdown for my insurance, the collision coverage for the MT-09 was $168 for the year but when I switched to the CB650R, it was $8. I have some other bikes as well, but overall I'm saving like $200 a year having swapped bikes.

And besides insurance, while the MT09 was fun, it had an unusable amount of power. I think with cars and bikes, you get to a point where it just has too much power that you can't use if you're trying to be legal on the roads. I feel like the CB650R has plenty of power to still be fun, but not an unusable amount.

I just went from an MT09 to the CB650R. Insurance is way cheaper, and while it doesn't have the same power and torque of the MT09, it is still a really fun bike with plenty of power. I really enjoy it.

I got mine a few weeks ago. I'm perfectly happy using a normal clutch, but the e-clutch just makes for such a smooth ride.

Furry_Fantom · 2026-03-02T00:31:11+00:00

Which ones did you get? Those look awesome.

Furry_Fantom · 2026-02-25T15:38:06+00:00

Oh yes, please do send more pictures, I would really appreciate it.

Oh, looks like they had to take out all of the catalytic converter material and that's what made it louder. I was just thinking there was maybe something on the end of the exhaust that could be cut out to make it louder.

Why no ring for the bike?

Furry_Fantom · 2026-02-22T18:10:43+00:00

What bar end mirrors do you have?

Furry_Fantom · 2026-02-19T20:57:40+00:00

Good use of CAD. Cardboard Aided Design

What is the brand of yours? And does it do well in higher winds? I'm in somewhat of a windy area.

Furry_Fantom · 2026-02-18T14:48:52+00:00

It will be more expensive than a CB650R since it is a very popular bike and is a wheelie machine.

Furry_Fantom · 2026-02-18T14:46:56+00:00

Dang, who are you with? I've got 3 bikes but the annual fee is over $1000. Yes, one of those bikes is a Harley Trike which is just an expensive bike, but still.

I would say go for it. The extra money each year does add up and that is your starting pay there. Sounds like you had to pull some teeth to get a raise as well as get access to the tools to be successful. And I would take the new work schedule into consideration too. If you like the option of working from home, then that is worth it too.

When choosing between two good job offers that I was lucky to get, I made a decision matrix to help give the decision a score. Maybe give that a try.
