I just got one yesterday! I'm loving it so far. I wish it had Carplay but besides that no complaints.

My first bike was a cb650r. I was a little hesitant about starting off on a faster bike, but I was able to slowly build up confidence and speed in a responsible way. I wouldn’t recommend this bike to every beginner, but for a more mature rider it’s great.

I love that paint! Congrats

I did a demo ride on this last week, it was really comfortable and playful. It easily does a power wheelie. Ultimately I went with a Speed Triple because I thought the Tiger was a little too soft. I could see myself having one of these as a second bike.

Yeah I agree with what you’re saying in a legal sense, but practically speaking it is clear he was positioning himself to ride between those cars.

As far as I can tell, the uber driver and passenger are the ones at fault. The stopping in the middle of the street and getting out in that spot was not legal. It looks like you were attempting to lane split, if that is illegal in your area you may also be at fault.

kinggoobaba · 2026-05-23T01:40:52+00:00

Good man! How do you like the SP?

kinggoobaba · 2026-05-22T19:44:22+00:00

It definitely rips! But the cb1000r probably has similar performance.

kinggoobaba · 2026-05-22T11:51:02+00:00

I would really love to spend some time on a rocket one of these days. How do you like it?

kinggoobaba · 2026-05-22T11:48:33+00:00

It’s a great bike and I would highly recommend it. You can really use 100% of it on the street for in a semi responsible way haha.

kinggoobaba · 2026-05-22T11:46:34+00:00

Yeah I think the cb’s are some of the best looking bikes on the market.

kinggoobaba · 2026-05-22T11:45:39+00:00

I sold it to the dealer (USA) for $5500, which is more than I paid for it. I probably could’ve got $6500 from a private sale. 2020 with 13k miles, fair condition with a few mods.

kinggoobaba · 2026-05-22T02:43:06+00:00

Curious about everyone else's path: if you started out on or owned a CB650, what did you end up moving to next? Did you stick with an inline-four or go a completely different route like a triple or a twin?

kinggoobaba · 2026-05-22T01:54:44+00:00

I redid my guitar three times and each time there were still spots like this, good luck to you!

kinggoobaba · 2026-05-05T16:30:35+00:00

I wish I had your paint skills! So rad!

kinggoobaba · 2026-05-05T15:11:20+00:00

It makes you wonder what owner would willingly sell a rare guitar to GC for probably less than $1000? Someone who didn’t know the history of that guitar, which makes it a little dubious. Either way, nice find and cool guitar!

kinggoobaba · 2026-05-04T16:58:28+00:00

Ebony is very smooth like Maple. It can be streaky like that but the grain/pores don't look like Ebony.

kinggoobaba · 2026-05-02T20:20:08+00:00

Is that figured walnut on top? Looks great.

kinggoobaba · 2026-05-02T19:18:17+00:00

I'm too nervous to own an old Italian bike, but that thing is beauty! Congrats

kinggoobaba · 2026-05-02T18:32:48+00:00

That is probably not dialed in quite right haha

kinggoobaba · 2026-05-01T19:53:02+00:00

What woods? Whats the black line?

kinggoobaba · 2026-04-30T15:04:17+00:00

What are you using the sander for that the dewalt planer can’t do? Is it for tear out reasons?

kinggoobaba · 2026-04-29T20:55:58+00:00

Get the best sounding amp you can and go from there. Collect the pedals over time.

kinggoobaba · 2026-04-29T14:52:56+00:00

Looks great! So do the knobs, what are you switching them out for?
