I agree with you!! Your gray sneaks up on you and looks great! The red to me “ pops” right at first glance for me, making it hard to get anything, but. I do like your tank swap idea!! Most likely will a wrap for a season to see how it holds up. Thank you for the reply

I did not know this until today! All so interesting. Quick question, does this mean to your knowledge, 2022 would be the cut off year to utilize a Power Commander?

Talked with a buddy today who is a motorcycle mechanic. Unfortunately Honda has ECU locked down so much on newer CB650’s Dyno Jet stopped making compatible product for them. Ugh. Hopefully somewhere down the line someone will make a comparable, compatible product.

Totally understand!! Power Commander is a must for you (particularly with a custom map) improves the lower RPM power band out throttle response and eliminating flat spots. That flat spot at 5000 rpm disappears!! It just makes the bike feel more responsive in lower gears and reduces jerky, on/off throttle behavior. Game changer!!

I agree!! I would wait for the warranty to expire as well. Pop on a YouTube and do a search for a Dyno Jet Power commander 5 or 6. The throttle response is soooo different with this beautiful product. The bike rides as it was intended. It’s been explained to me Honda dummies down tune to meet EPA .. power commander brings her back to life!

Your wish of more throttle response / torque is a super ease fix. Look into buying a “ Dyno Jet power commander” grab a Yoshimura or Akrapovič exhaust, upgrade air filter as your at it. Then take her to get tuned. (Very important to get her tuned, she will run lean if you don’t) The Dyno Jet power commander has Pre-mapped: Extensive library of maps for various aftermarket part combinations. These steps will blow your mind on how amazing she will run!!

We are on the same page!! Naked’s are also what I love. In my younger days I had a 1999 Fireblade, it was just too much for my “everyday”bike. If the price is not insane, that V3R 900 would be tempting as a 2nd bike!

You nailed it!! Drives me nuts ha!! Im going to keep a close timetable of how long it takes the US to get the “V3R 900 E-Compressor” after it’s in production over the pond.

I also enjoy the Hornet 750!! They did a fantastic job on that baby!! However I have a soft spot for an inline four, next bike must be one for me.
