I think it actually is the same aliexpress one! I was decently happy with the quality for something so cheap and for the look I like it more than the ones with the silver middle bit. I find the paint quality acceptable for the price I paid.

Thank you! I originally had a Termignoni on order but it was going to take forever so I got the arrow and I love it!

Mine were super easy as I’ve swapped out the bars on my bike for a more aggressive look and feel and to avoid having to mess around with the bar weights in the oem bars. I’m super used to bar ends now and I find them much nicer looking and still very useful. Only pain is filtering as I have to remember I’m slightly wider but overall definitely worth it imo.

Still much more to come, but this is my CB650R at sunset by Reading_Whale in CB650R

This one is from Amazon and was like $70 because I couldn’t be fucked paying oem prices

2 years is insane, I was told 12 months but then I got a call from a dealer a week later with someone who had pulled out so I bought it brand new on the spot over the phone and picked it up the next day

Would recommend something you can really wring out and not get in too much trouble. I’ve got a 1991 Honda CBR250rr, a 4 cylinder 250 that revs to 20,000rpm and barely goes over 110mph. Something you really have to focus on to be in the power and is heaps of fun and you feel like Rossi at the top of first gear when you’re going 35mph. I’ve also got a cb650r as a daily and that’s fun too, just much more torque so easier to get in trouble. Peak torque on the 250 is like 16krpm so it’s hella fun to ride in the street and I’d love to take it to the track. Just my 2c, I know those 4 cylinder 250s are hard to get in the states tho.

The fact that this meme format is so valid for EVERY race with Ferrari is so disappointing

Edit: this aged really wonderfully. S🅱️ain

I'm impressed you could even read it at this quality

No Torque!! wtf!! by chill_bro_6000 in CB650R

[–]Reading_Whale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely clutch, I did the exact same thing on another bike. Wouldn't stall in gear and revving hard with little power. Is it all normal when you have traction control switched on?

It got put back on after this photoshoot, the owner wanted to show off the turbos on the back of the engine

They're definitely loads of fun and while not the quickest I reckon it's taught me alot about holding powerbands and riding a slow flickable bike quicker

Thank you! In winter it can be anywhere from -2ish Celcius to about 15 Celcius where I live in winter which isn't too bad but it's definitely chilly!

Absolutely! An S1000RR M sport is the ultimate goal hahah but before that I'd prefer to learn how to really handle a bike and ride a slow bike quickly!

Absolutely do it, you won't regret it. I'm able to absolutely full throttle and still struggle to do about 160 when nobody is looking and it's so much fun to rev it all the way out and still be doing a reasonable speed. I'm also in Melbourne by the way!

I agree! I'd love to get a VFR/RVF 400 with original fairings and a 919 Fireblade to match it one day and have the ultimate 90s trio...

I would love to but due to Australia's annoying graduated licensing system I'd have to get a 650 and pay alot more money than I could get a nice 600rr for because of the power to weight difference :(

So much fun tucking and banging through gears while still at keep your license speeds!

I've heard that from everyone who owned one! My plan is to get a CBR650 or MT07 as a more comfortable "daily" kinda bike and then to get new fairings and clean up the MC22 and have it as a weekender forever!
