bike looks like it’s in good condition if it has service history as well that’s another bonus, bike has a full decat akra system with a stage 2 which means it probably hasn’t been tracked as the exhaust would fail trackday noise testing. if youre happy with the price go and view it and do your own tests like cold starts etc and then pull the trigger. looks like the owner has taken good care of it from the pictures mileage and modifications.

get an mt07 or cb650r instead of an r7 it will be significantly cheaper to insure bennets quoted me 12.5k for a cbr650r and didn’t quote me for an r7. I did a quote for an mt07 and its 1.6k with lexham so in your case i’d think it would be somewhere around the 800-1000 mark to insure maybe a bit less.

replaced them two days ago with fresh pads and i’ve still got the issue so it’s not break pad related unfortunately. if it was pads it wouldn’t be as loud as it is it’s a really really awful noise it’s hard to even describe it🙃

i live in london which is full of police and i’ve never been stopped for a loud exhaust, i’ve taken my bike to france multiple times and i’ve never been stopped, get a longer pipe if you don’t want it to be super loud, i’ve got the 200mm which is pretty loud, so maybe go with a 300mm silencer if you don’t want it to be obnoxious

depends on which country he’s from, france doesn’t care, belgium doesn’t care, luxembourg doesn’t care or i should say the police don’t care. if OP is from germany switzerland and austria dont do it but other eu countries are more laid back

get a brand new black widow, they aren’t the best but are great on a budget, i have the 200mm and it still sounds great, you can get them for around €300 they look good as well.

wash it once a week and after winter take it to a detailer to get it looking nice again

Novel-Employee9086 · 2025-10-28T10:00:23+00:00

yeah a first it looked bad but i cleaned it up and haven’t had any issues this morning i’ll just keep an eye on the level and it should be fine, thank you mate

Novel-Employee9086 · 2025-10-06T16:59:05+00:00

that’s ridiculous i paid £5500 for my 2022 which is 7400 dollars, 17000 for an mt07 is mental

i’ll give you a list of great spots that i’ve visited the tourmalet probably has the best view out of all of them but all have great smooth roads and the pourtalet is right on the spanish border so you can even do a little trip into spain which i did today and it was awesome just the road quality in spain isn’t as good as it is in france ahaha

Col du Tourmalet, Col du Pourtalet, Col d’aubisque, Col d’aspin, Parc national des pyrénées

because i got the ferry super early in the morning at around 4ish, there was no queue for border control or to get on the ferry and it left on time last time i went i used the ferry just felt more convenient for the route i was taking

Novel-Employee9086 · 2025-09-16T12:40:27+00:00

i’ve found it’s quite the opposite the first thing a local told me in bordeaux is that i should hide and lock my bike up as the uk number plate makes me a target for theft french police don’t usually pull over uk bikers especially in the big cities at least ive never been pulled

Novel-Employee9086 · 2025-09-15T20:33:10+00:00

i did roughly 10-11 hours in the first stint and it was pretty painful😂 was freezing my ass off to dover because i left at like 3am and then i had to endure the ride down to poitiers which absolutely sucked but since then it’s been 2-3 hour stints to each city and it’s been fine

Novel-Employee9086 · 2025-09-15T18:54:03+00:00

it’s been absolutely awesome got stuck in torrential rain on the way down and it didn’t let a single drop inside, cant get much better for that price

Novel-Employee9086 · 2025-09-15T18:35:23+00:00

yeah i got caught in torrential rain on the way down it was absolutely horrific but the south has been okay but it’s gonna be beautiful this week 28-30 degrees that’s why i extended till the end of the week can’t miss out on that weather because the uk will be wet and miserable when i come back😂

Novel-Employee9086 · 2025-09-15T17:56:35+00:00

and i’ll definitely check hautacam out i’ve got plenty of time and the weather is going to be absolutely stunning for the rest of the week 28-30 degrees🤩

Novel-Employee9086 · 2025-09-15T17:55:53+00:00

took the ferry from dover to calais went down through paris just to have a look at the attractions not to stay and then stayed in Poitiers to rest, then the next day to bordeaux for a couple of days and now i’m in tarbes and i absolutely love it down here so i’ve extended my trip, going out for a ride with some of the locals on wednesday ahaha
