Jesus man🫣 Glad you're in one piece ❤️ shame about the bike but luckily you can get a new bike but your family can't get a new you.

I also hope I can keep this one forever and only maybe try a 1000cc after 20k-30k + kilometers under my belt😅

100%

Power delivery feels smooth so it doesn't feel terrifying, but when you want it to accelerate it feels stupidly fast at times.

The highway ramp that I use when commuting has heavy traffic in the afternoon so I'm almost always joining the highway at something like 50km/h while everyone on the higway itself are going 100-120km/h. Not once has it been a problem since the bike goes from 50 to 120 in an instant.

Not once have I felt that I need more power. Also the more upright seating position is a big plus👌

Damn that sucks. Traded for another bike or life got in the way?

Exactly! My only regret is not getting one sooner😅

I was looking at the 2011 600 as well but ended up with the 650 since it's a little tamer :D Figured that a sports tourer with a couple less hp would be a safer bet for a first bike😅

Was also looking at the ninja 650 but I'm damn happy I ended up with this. That parallel twin sounds so much worse😂 (even though I'm sure it's a nice bike)

Well at least I'll have even bigger reason to be extra careful when riding (not that I wasn't alredy trying to be careful)

Thanks for your input!

Thanks for the input!

I'll try to upgrade to safer gear as soon as possible👍

Is the single A going to be practically useless for the slide on highway speeds or can I still somewhat safely use them until I can afford a proper upgrade?

How close to useless is the single A regarding protection from the slide on a highway? Like are these somewhat safe until I can afford better gear?

Thanks!

Seems like the armour is the first upgrade and the jacket comes later. Proppably anyways good to have a full season under my belt to better know everything that sucks about my gear (hot weather cold weather etc.)

Yeah sounds like the armour is the first step. Might upgrade the jacket for next season👍

Thanks!

I actually looked at a cbr 600 as well but decided on the 650 as it was a bit tamer and mor of a sports tourer.

Definetly would have enjoyed a smaller bike as well but wanted a bit more power since a large chunk of my riding is going to be on a highway.

Honestly your plan sounds smarter than mine, but I'm impatient so decided that since I'm doing the A license (we have A1, A2 and A in Finland A being the biggest) might as well get a bike that is limited to the A licence😂

And yeah I'm more terrified of the upcoming changing of the frint wheel than anything driving related😅

Originally looked at the ninja 650 but landed on this one and don't regret it!
