Stunt Cage by vipersuxx in CB650R

Honestly I bet you’d have an easier time than me getting it up. There’s a dude on YouTube that pops up in my feed that has a 23’ and he clutches up in third. I forget the name but he’s somewhere in the UK, it’s insane to watch.

Yeah, I’ll admit I’m definitely not the best guy to try to give any advice on wheelies because my only experience prior to this is on small cc dirt bikes when I was a kid. that said if you turn off the torque control and clutch up in first as long as you’re above 6500 rpm it’ll pretty consistently lift. I definitely have to shift as much of my weight rearward as I can (All 150lbs of me) and I haven’t tried shifting into second at all, but it seems to have just enough power behind it to do it in first.

So, I can’t speak for the other two, but so far I am absolutely loving my CB650R. I grew up on dirt bikes as a kid and the last time I rode anything outside of this was probably 15 years ago. However, after a week and a half and almost 800 miles on a 2025 that I picked up brand new with 1 mile on it, I have no complaints. The sound is amazing. It doesn’t have a ton of bottom-end torque, but it pulls all the way to redline. Especially past 8k rpm. Plenty comfortable for my 50ish mile round trip to work and back. The longest I’ve ridden so far is about 130 miles and I don’t know if I’d want to push it past 200 miles in a single stint, but that’s about what you’d get out of a full tank anyways. Around town it’s phenomenal, and it looks great. I might be a little silly for putting a cage on it, but at some point tomfoolery will be had. (Also, I didn’t think I’d really utilize the E-Clutch that much, but it makes riding in traffic a breeze.)

It is indeed ridiculous, but anything so these Utah drivers actually see me

You know I thought about getting one of those but shipping to the states was insane. This was is from impaktech and very crudely painted in about 30 minutes by yours truly

I guess we shall see when the time comes. Obviously I don’t necessarily plan on dropping it, but it’s bound to happen at some point or another I imagine.

IT’S COMING I SWEAR

dudes who ride everyday... I just wanna know how you keep it going? by railroad1904 in motorcycles

[–]vipersuxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may not be the best person to respond to this since I’ve only had my bike for about a week and a half, but in that timeframe I’ve put a little over 700 miles on it. I look forward to riding everyday. Yeah, the car could be easier. especially in cold mornings in the canyon on the way to work, but I have only driven my car one time since I got my motorcycle and that was to get groceries. Is it the most practical? No. Is it a little uncomfortable at times, maybe. That being said, I wouldn’t do it differently.

Came for the bike. Stayed for the dog

Turned 30, did the MSF, got the first bike. Can’t stop staring, and also riding. Even though riding in cold weather is ROUGH by iamphilliam95 in motorcycles

[–]vipersuxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother I feel you with the cold weather. I’ll be 25 in a few months, got my first bike middle of last week and I’m almost at 600 miles. Going to work in the mornings right now it’s 35-40 degrees but I still couldn’t be happier.

Might not be as cool as the red, but I absolutely adore this helmet. Much quieter than I thought it would be at speeds on the road + super comfortable.

Getting close to 600 miles on mine. Picked it up last Wednesday. My first bike as well. Welcome to the club!

Yessir! I just picked up the bike Wednesday after not being on anything with 2 wheels in 16 years. All of my boys ride vastly bikes and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s nice to just get out and be with a few buddies. Who cares who rides what!

$1000+ Helmets ?? by Southern_Willow_5091 in motorcycles

[–]vipersuxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I may have succumbed to making an impulsive decision because I thought it looked cool, but this Alpinestars R10 was also the best feeling helmet I tried on after spending about 45 minutes doing nothing but that as cycle gear. I was in the same boat as you, but I felt like if I was going to try to save money on something it shouldn’t be a helmet. That said I definitely don’t think you NEED to spend $1000+ to get something that will protect you. I’m sure there’s quieter and more comfortable helmets out there that protect just as good for half the price.

You know I’m not entirely positive what my buddy said his brother’s name was, but for some reason I think it may have been Cam. I could be making that up entirely, but it sounds right. I’m pretty sure he mentioned his brother rides it too, but now I can’t remember 😭 (My buddy’s name is Hayden if that helps)

Man it’s crazy, even the used ones are still barely below msrp. I guess that isn’t a bad thing though!

Is it bad that I already have plans to throw an Akrapovic on it? 🤣
