I watched this video 6 years ago when I was 15 And I really wanted either a CBR or CB 650f
I was riding a Yamaha r15 at the time
I kept coming back to this video as this was a dream bike of mine for years
Now 6 years later at 21 years old I've bought a 2016 CB650f
Thx for the awesome content ✌️
Aye bro I’m about to buy mine on Thursday any tips ?
1-Stock exhaust
2-Stock front levers
3- windscreen
4- Front turn signals
5-back lights
6- seat covers
7- ABS system, no ability to turn it off
8- Foot pegs are floppy
9- The front suspension is not adjustable
10- the most hated feature, the front headlight.
The headlight swap to LED would be the absolute first upgrade.
i've owned and ridden it for over 20,000 kms in India and i absolutely loved every bit of it!
It's a great bike man. I remember back in 2015 when I test ride this bike it's an amazing motorcycle
+JAM ROCK MOTOVLOG Agreed!
LOVE the color of your bike...
I think it looks great. The one thing I was determined to have was "ABS" on my Bike. I love it. It is a great safety feature. Each to their own of course. Keep having fun.
+Idaho Rider its definitely a great feature, and has worked in my favour on more than a few occasions. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Nice video. Love what you've done to the bike! Now let's bring on some consistent warm weather! Ride safe and hope to see you on the road.
+Michael Angeli cant wait to be able to commute daily!
Sweet ride, this bike is high up on my list of bikes to buy, great vid 👍
Love the bike... I have a cb500x and im 101% sure im buying this bike for the next season. Great vids
Its an awesome upgrade from the 500!
Really enjoying my 500r but kinda wishing I had stepped up the 650f. Nice vid!
+Mr. Budha The 500 is great for city, but if you have alot of hwy on your rides or commute, you notice its lacking.
The seat cowl transforms the bike completely, nice 👌🏽
agreed! its kinda a ripoff but thats to be expected by the stealership
Looks like a 120hp+ bike with it, just more comfortable and less deadly
This honestly the best review I have seen for any motorcycle. I love the mods their pretty simple but effective. You just help me a lot on the bike I want honestly.
Hey man I saw you at MotoMadness^^ I enjoy your videos and yeah. Ride Safe:-D
Thanks, I appreciate it
From one motovlogger to another, nice work man! Youre very fluid when you speak.
I was going to get this bike but I went with the Ninja 650 instead. i wanted that inline 4 from the Honda but instead went with the Kawi parallel twin. I just couldnt get over that single headlight and that was my deciding factor.
yeah, aesthetics can be a big deciding factor, my bro has an '09 Ninja 650 and he loves it, seating is a bit more upright and its got lots of power too, just a little less top end really. Thanks for the positive feedback, I've improved the mic placement soe there is a bit less breathing noise thankfully!
+IronicRebound Yeah I wanted the clip on bars so bad when I was deciding and loved the 650f had them but again couldnt get over the headlight lol. Youre right though, 650f has about 90ish hp and kawi650 only had about 65hp but still had a good amount of tourque to hp ratio.
I was watching my last video and found myself having the heavy breathing problem too... we sound like were going up a flight of stairs lol hahaha. keep it up bud, love your channel!
I like the way you commented on the guys speech. There is too little constructive criticism on the internet
Also I also had a Ninja 650, 1st sport bike, previously cruisers and dual purpose, and that bike was the greatest (except it would slam into 1st gear) then it was only sport bikes. Still miss that bike.
I got the new cbr 650f 2016 the red and white ,but your bike color looks sick!
Thanks for video I am changing the front light to the angel eye also doing other changes almost like your bike (ironic)
Cool video!
I'm looking into the demon angel eyes too, would look awesome
good review man, keep it up
thanks very much!
IronicRebound few questions how does the seat cowl go over the stock seat? The stock seat bothers me and I want to replace it but haven't found anything lol. I'm also trying to find after market fairing kits but no luck with that aswell
Great review! Awesome color bike and really digging your mods. Nice work. Just curious how much money have you put into your mods?
the exhaust alone was over a thousand canadian, and techically i need to spend another thousand on dynotune, and power commander... on the other bits less than 500
Hey IronicRebound, thanks for the video man! I had a few quick questions.In regards to the turn flush turn signals, the wiring doesn't require and alteration, does it? In regards to the fender eliminator, did you have any problems blowing any fuses?
The 2015 CBR650f was my first bike. Never had ridden before and picked up riding insanely fast. Within a month I was already board. So 2 months after getting it I went and got a 2016 ZX6R/636. I love the power and torque on my 636. I just bought an R1. I crave more and more power man. So now i have 3 bikes and my 2015 650F only has 1275 miles on it. My boy kept telling me not to get the 650 and to at least get a 600cc and i didnt listen so now im stuck making payments on a bike i do not even ride. I like your video though and i subscribed. Keep up the good work
there is only so many places you can use even the speed of a 650 without getting into serious legal troubles as it is, sure its not a RR or a litre but honestly I am still really happy with it, and no way either of the those comes close to how comfy the 650f is. i love a 1000km day exploring northern Ontario and on a RR I would 1.get tickets/towed 2.kill my back. Thanks for subscribing, its appreciated!
Making payments on 3 bikes. You DO need to slow down.
I have a cbr650f aswell. I post on UA-cam as well. Great videos my man. Yea. The power on the bike is great👌🏽
+CBRMotoSmarts Yea, Its a sweet ride
Love that merge skill!! Lol sounds fuckin awesome! And great vid!
+Smalltownhooligan 1 Thanks, I cannot get enough of that exhaust note!
Nice vid dude :)
+Dan Motovlogs Thanks, I appreciate that!
IronicRebound Know what I want? *Another one*
+Dan Motovlogs HA!
Hey, I just picked up this same bike and am loving it. Can you confirm the colour of the cowl you purchased? I can't seem to find a grey one anywhere, but yours seems to colour-match with the bodywork. Did you just get the matte black one?
I like the headlight on that bike. You can always change out the bulb with a Philips bright white from Canadian Tire. Rear Sprocket just wait til you need a new chain and change that out at the same time. ABS modular wow now your looking at some coin being tossed at the bike.
At the end of the day it is a very nice bike you got there. My fav addition to it is the akra exhaust
+WildBill agreed, the exhaust is insane and well worth every penny! definitely looking at some LED bulb options and will be replacing sprocket on the chain for sure! Thanks for watching
You could add a small amount of fluid to the forks to reduce dive under heavy braking: all you have to do is unscrew the top caps, add even amounts of fork oil then reassemble. Still won't fix the squishy progressive springs.
I have since gone with heavier oil in the forks, adding more isnt advisable I have heard, add more pressure on the seals, more prone to failure.
The headlight is one of the things i like about this bike, finely something different!
looks alot like the Fz6R
Yea like they all try copying each other, i used to like the later suzuki's same type off headlights.
But love Honda to much, whit something differend i ment for honda.
Perfect!
I have a CB650f, i have the exact same 10 things as you apart from the screen (as i don't have on) number 10 for me is how juddery it is at low revs and 11 false neutrals it pulls out on you... apart from that its bloody brilliant!
+MaTTyD 777 I havent had any issues with neutral fortunately
You know I was just thinking about this...do Canadians know what the word "hate" is? I mean y'all are so damn nice! Also, nice video 😄
+Midwest Mayhem Hence the quotations on "hate"... definitely more "dislikes" than hate. Love my ride!
Hi dude, your bike looks immense, really slick looking. I am considering purchasing one of these, and came across your review video. Just a quick question for you - Does the Honda CBR650F have a gear indicator on it ? So you can see what gear you are in ?? Thanks.
No it doesn't have a gear indicator
I love it, yeah Deniz is correct, no gear indicator
It does not have a shift indicator
Thanks , I purchased a CBR 650F now. Lol, thanks anyway.
totally agree with the 10 things you said ;)
+Miguel de gonzalo Thanks for Watching!
Very interesting video. I was wondering what your next bike would be Sir?
+TassieLorenzo Triumph Daytona or Speed Triple, if i can ever afford insurance for such a bike!
IronicRebound Yowzah! Great taste.
Joe Bailey damn who the fuck insures you Jesus?
Bro, for your windscreen, I put on the Ermax sports one, its on point. Changed it later for a custom made one and im going back to the ermax one. Pushed it to top speed, had no problem whatsoever.
I have an MRA touring on backorder
IronicRebound can you tell me the difference you feel with the mra?
I think you should remove your helmet and speak
audio has gotten alot better since this thankfully!
Soham Makwana it's cold I'm February. leave him alone.
Great video, I don't like the stock exhaust sound either, do I need a power commander for a after market exhaust?
+Ezzat Perez you should get one, I havent yet but will be getting it tuned soon
+IronicRebound. ok thank you for your advice ✌
Can u tell me if i can shave seat on cbr650f i m little bit short and planning to buy it. Does seat have lot of foam in it or not?
I got a new 2016 CBR650F today . I trade in my NC700x for it. The only thing I miss from the NC is the trunk. Regardless the NC700x was a great bike. But I need something with more speed and the CBR750f is the answer .
the NC is a pretty sweet ride, top speed lower than the 650F?
yes it is that is why I got the CBR650f as a second bike. The NC700x is good for commuting and as a first bike.
My CBR650F is the2016 model with ABS.
hey
i am looking at this as sports tourer in my country (India) did a short test and felt suspension good enough for our bumpy roads
still need an idea as to how itll fare on long rides
gone a good 1000km day and besides some typical soreness she was real comfy!
I'm 6'3" and have herniated discs in my lower back. I did over 1700km in 20 hours last year and wasn't sore the next day. This bike is surprisingly comfortable over long distances, but it may just compliment my particular dimensions well. I think it's important to sit on a lot of bikes and see what feels good and offers your body type room to move around, which is obviously important for touring.
Nice vid mate!..subbed!.....Im buying a CBR650F for my birthday next year....we have a restricted version here in Australia for learner riders (ECU restricted). What do you think about the CBR650F as a first bike? ..Im 6"2 and don't feel comfortable on a 500R and the 300's are far too small for me so its this or the Ninja 650, i don't like the seat on the Ninja ans it feels front heavy...the CBR feels better balanced and more comfortable for me.
Thanks
I'm around 6ft, fits pretty good, much better than my 500r. My bro has the ninja650 and he's just over 6ft, both are pretty good for your height I'd say. Thanks for subscribing👌
Awesome video ^^ So much love-hate relationship ^^
+Keith Wong its all love, but a few improvements required!
is there a video out there on how to do the tail tidy integrated led brake light with turn signals?
there is an integrated tail light, its a direct swap from the original, I have two led strips instead, the old tail just bolts off, easy
Hey thanks for the reply mate, Do you have a link by chance to take me to it? as I tried the one in the description but doesnt seem to work :(
I started riding in Nov of 2016, so brand new rider, I had a VFR-800 Interceptor. I liked it a lot, and put a bunch of money in it, though it was a 15 year old bike... But I was craving for a new bike, just to start fresh for myself. I dunno, it makes sense to me. And I picked up a 2016 CBR650F last week.
I love the bike, despite the lower power. It feels nicer, and much more forgiving with shifting up and down. The surges are minimal, which is awesome. It's comfortable and looks great. I frankly love the single headlight, though, I need to adjust its angle. My biggest gripe, like the first part of your list, is the exhaust. I can't wait to change that, and hear the engine the way it should be. Otherwise, I ask myself while riding, "am I riding an electric bike or something?" Though, I can't crank the bike too hard at the moment, I'm still in the process of breaking it in. Only got 200 miles on.
Well, good list, and I agree with what you say. And I will be changing, on my bike, some of the similar stuff that you changed.
yeah the akra was an awesome and much needed upgrade! I been looking at those VFR interceptors, mean looking bikes
IronicRebound yeah, man, the Interceptor was a beast, I'll give it that. But new ones are buku money lol. Speaking of buku money, that akra exhaust was pretty expensive wasn't it? I bought myself a blackwidow 200mm exhaust system. It's like half the price. But it's still beastly af. Good riding bro.
Did you need to add a power commander when you put the full exhaust on?
Great video. Whats your opinion on this being my first bike? Im 6'1 225lbs, and 30 years old. I have alittle bit of riding experience and a motorcycle safety course under my belt. Do you think it would be a good starter bike? any advice would be greatly appreciated.
cheers
for sure, and last you a couple seasons at least as its got lots of power. I'm about the same height and weight
not sure how you rate "slow" but it can take a RR off the line, although not for long due to its gearing. top speed is more than double any speed limits around here, I still love it! Thanks for the feedback tho.
Have you considered replacing the oem chain and sprockets? I have found mine have corroded and tarnished after only 18 months of predominantly good weather use and dry garaging. Any thoughts on what brand to use?
Re tyres - I've just replaced mine with Pirelli Diablos... highly recommended on this bike.
How many miles would you get out of them?
***** The Pirellis? I'll tell you when I replace them. Changed the Dunlop Sportmax at 5500 miles but could have got another 1000 out of them.
Sorry for the late reply, musta missed this one? My chain is still going at 30,000km, but starting to kink a bit, with no corrosion. My sprocket is in good shape, although having rode in salty winter its a bit pitted and etched, so its not an easy clean. I went with michelin PR4 for my first tires after the stock and got 15,000km, need to be replacing them asap tho
I have exactly the same opinion with my CBR 650F only suspension is ok for me,nice Video. Ride Safe ;)
+Chris (untot82) love that colour scheme on yours! sweet ride
iim looking at picking one of these up in flat black. only thing im debating for is because of that damn front headlight. but like you said.... its starting to grow on me
yeah definitely does grow on you, and deosnt look "bad" just not as good as dual in my opinion
Hey I actually just bought the fender eliminator you listed in the description. I haven't got it yet but i was just wondering if its a direct bolt on or is there some drilling required. Also do you have a link to the integrated taillight that you mentioned?
+David Johnson added the link in the description now for the tail light, and the eliminator fits using the same botls that removed to take of the tail. there are a couple gaps need filling (maybe a plastic sheet in the inside to avoid dirt/splashing inside the seat) and the bracket needs to be bent slighty, but its pretty straight forward. be sure to replace the hinge bolts with a suitable nut/bolt... i didnt and they cam loose within a day, and i lost my plate for a while.
I found a good deal on one of these. That headlight is really the one thing keeping me from buying it. The later 650f got a facelift and the front end looks a bit better
greeyyyyyyyyyyy~~~ nice color mate!! in my country only had red white like Ultraman color.
its grown on me, and always look soo clean in pics!
Iv been riding a GS500 for about 6/7 months after my duke 390 was stolen and then I was comparing this bike with the tracer 700 ... atho the tracer had a lot of torque i was really let down but its ability on the high way against the wind as its meant to be a sport tourer... it does have the power to do whatever you need it to.. but you can instantly feel yourself fighting the wind, the stability isn't as great altho my GS was a big long heavy bike it was solid and low. the tracer was quite high up and altho very manoeuvrable it didn't have the stability... so I rode the CBR and found it so much more solid than the GS , slightly harder suspension but still solid and to me was the perfect inbetween bike between the tracer and my gs and to me triumphs both bikes
maybe ill just do my own review haha
how hard was it to install the flush mount indicators?
Very Nice bike 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
CBR650 F
+RETTO.RIDER I love it!
most of your complaints are cosmetic that are easily fixed. Almost all the Hondas (or any OEM motorcycle part for any brand of bike) have ugly exhausts, turn signals, pegs, cheap levers, fenders, etc. it's how they make their money and there is a protocol that they have to go by. I'm looking at this bike but I agree I hate the cyclop head light.
California for example, we can't have any other exhaust except the OEM (but no one listens), no integrated tail lights, specific fender eliminators, etc.... it sucks but also the company's are trying to save the consumer money because if they had high end modifications, your bike could rack up to 10k easily and so on and so forth, scaring people away with their prices to make a profit.
true, its a very well priced bike, no doubt they cut some corners in order to keep it so. the single headlamp has grown on me but still prefer a dual light setup
The seat cowl definitely improves it! Plus you don't have to deal with anybody asking you to give them a ride :D
+The Spanish Rider that could be an issue, when you have a female that wants a ride! but it definitely looks much better
+IronicRebound That can actually be part of the strategy. You can say "I cannot give you a ride right now" (no matter what they say, they love to be turned down just a little bit) "BUT hey... give me your number and I'll call you as soon as I take this shit off" :D The wait will make her want it even more. Success guaranteed. You're welcome ;D
+The Spanish Rider loving that tactic right there hahaha
+The Spanish Rider #protips
When you added the flush mount turn signals where they plug and play or did you have to cut and splice some wires.
+trueone86 plug and play, I did use some double sided tape behind the lights so they were flush with the fairing, otherwise they end up a bit recessed
I got the same bike. I agree with some things you say. I think it had enough power though. You to the legal speed limit very fast. More than 210-220 kmh on the Autobahn is pretty much enough (for most situations).
True, over 100kmh in first gear is already at hwy speed limits
I actually like the single headlight better than the double :D
+FlyDangerous its growing on me
Do you still have this bike? How many miles did you put on it? Has it been reliable? I'm wondering how bikes made in Thailand compare to bikes made in Japan.
You should check out the Projector Headlight for the cbr650f if you still have it.
I went LED, but yeah they look sweet
I was looking at a 500r as my first bike. Would the 650f be ok to start out on? Don't want to have to upgrade a year or 2 after purchase.
650 is definitely a great starter, my younger bro just got his first, a kawi ninja 650r
Should be able to pull the fuse on the ABS circuit. Guess that's an on/off feature
Thats true!
Your voice is so nice
Thanks!
I'm looking forward to buy a 2018 cbr 650f
cant go wrong, shes a great ride
The rubber thing on the footpeg is actually there because it's a requirement for bikes manufactured in Thailand to have them on there.
To clean the sprocket and chain the best thing to use is carosine/paraffin
kerosine is one of the main ingredients in WD40 apparently, taking off the chain and soaking it in it is the ideal for sure
How does the handling of the 650 compare to the 500R?
Just found out about this bike and I decided if I don't buy a gsxr it'll be between the sv650sf or this
The stock plate holder/tail looks like a kick in the nuts, ive been thinking of changing it on my cb500f for a while now, anyhow i need a serious answer. Whats ur oil consumption on base kms? On the internet it says that the 650 never goes under 21km per liter but i find it hard to believe considering the power it holds. Im considering a future upgrade
+Cat Caturday my fuel consumption is a bit off, since the aftermarket exhaust and excessive rev bombs!
+IronicRebound did you change the whole exhaust system or just the slip on?
+WolfPackHD full system, go big or go home ;)
For a 6ft1 rider does this bike match your size? Is it comfy or us it more on the smaller side? I'm the same height & doing research on buying first bike
Im around 6ft, its a good size. You should definitely at least have a seat on your ride and ideally a test ride before you buy to be sure👌
Great video! So what made you go with the 650f over the 600rr?
+BRIDGE CITY RIDER insurance mostly, but its also a more comfortable seating position
+IronicRebound Your right I bet it's more comfortable but as for insurance I know here in Ontario we get raped by the instance companies. I pay 600 for the year on a 600rr but I'm in my thirties so age def is a factor.
+BRIDGE CITY RIDER thats cheapest I've ever heard... full coverage? what broker/company? i now have one speeding ticket conviction as of mid Feb, that isnt helping
+IronicRebound yea full coverage. I know right being I was a new rider and that being my first bike I thought they mad a mistake lol. Hey when's your next humpday hangout?
+BRIDGE CITY RIDER Wtf only 600 a year I'm 17 and with the ninja 300 it would cost me 3100 a year in Brampton Ontario..... ;-; And you think that's bad?! My mom gave me her old 2003 Honda civic but in Ontario for some reason older cars cost more and I'm 17 FOR GOD SAKE HELP ME! :'(
aha I've been to that Beach on my lunch break at work, skippin rocks :p
+Callum Turner my first time, was out exploring the other day.... sweet spot
+IronicRebound just around the corner from there is a wood grill burger joint called Woody's. very fitting. highly recommend checking it out. soo good!
+Callum Turner I will, love me some burgers
Nice :)
+MonstaBeatz Thanks!
Hi
Is it a good beginner bike?
Hi I ride the CB650F and I found under the seat the are Fuses. So just take out those that say ABS on them or wire a switch to them.
I have the same bike... but I'm not sure if i want to buy a new exhaust .. or gut the factory one .. but ... I have the same issues with my bike.. .. the main one being the front forks..
customizing the stock is definitely a cheaper alternative, but its much needed over the stock sound. front shocks are ok, if you weight less than 150lbs
The sprocket is made from Machine steel which will rust and corrode... This is done with costs in mind.
Did you just spray paint your windsheild? if so did it ever start to chip? and what type of paint was it?
plastidip on the underside, still flawless
It must be awesome having a 650F that revs all the way, here in AUS they are classed as a learner bike and they are restricted which is pure sadness.
seems a waste, moreso if you cant remove the restriction once you get your full license
do u mean austria or australia? xD
Apparently you can get it 'destricted' at Honda dealers
I changed the exhaust to Moriwaki full system frrom HC, a subsidiary of Honda, right off the show room. I'm also getting the Chinese levers from aliexpress.com. I won't be replacing the wind shield though. The Puig touring windscreen is way beyond my budget. Thanks anyway for you vid.
Just received Chinese levers, and they have good features and price. Thank you. BTW I can't remember where I got the lead from you. I can't find it here, nor from cbr650forums.com/threads/youtube-cbr650f-review.1168/
front turn signals are cool
Flush mounts ftw!
The flush mounts look great, but doesn't that make them all but hidden from vehicles looking at you head-on? I imagine that's why the stock lights were bubbles.
Where did you get the front turn signals?
7:42 Race fairings 😉😗
I just got a CB500F and I want a CBR650f. Maybe in a year if I keep getting better.
its a sweet upgrade!
Don't bother, both shite
IronicRebound I have time to look at other options, which is fun.
rachel child no they aren't..
Dont listen to all the people giving them shit pal, they are more than fast enough and do 0-60mph in 3.5 which is supercar fast, and if you live somewhere with twisties they are brilliant, very well built bikes it's the reason they are raced on tv
do you think a complete beginner can handle the crb 650 f and would you recommend it as an entry bike?
+omegapsi847 yeah for sure, it could make a great starter bike
thx!
Not sure if you're still replying to messages but, i just got a hot bodies mgp slip on for my 2016 Honda CBR650F. Can you summarize with how the installation was for you? I'm gonna try putting it on tomorrow but have Zero clue how to lol
I installed the full akrapovic, it's was bolt on. There are at least a couple DIY vids on YT, process is same as most honda cbr
what editing software do you use my man?
+ProneFreak117 Vegas Pro 13
Nice video. How much was the seat cowl.
too much!! close to 200$ canadian. looking into a custom seat now as well
Did u have to remap after changing exhaust
Please help, how do you install the seat cowl? I'm considering buying one on eBay for around 80$ vs from Honda for 200$. But they don't provide installation instructions. I'm wondering if I have to drill or anything like that.. thanks
Or does it just slip on?
slip on, no drill
i like the design of cbr650f.
Me too, its great looking ride👍
Usually the abs system has a fuse that can be removed a voala! you might have an anoying service light in your face but you should have seen my friends face when I took the fuses out of his e36 m3 and drove it sidways. Don't recommend this for beginer though. He totaled his car a week later. Motorcycles are much harder to control when a tire brakes loose. Ride safe man.
yeah I have figured it was just a fuse, but have stuck with it, comes in handy in the rain and when idiots cut you off for sure!
Nice video and great bike! Can you tell me about how much it cost, changing ur tail like that? This looks so much better then the old tail. I dont think Honda sell it without that ugly big licenceplateholder.
Hans van der Poel that small hinge replacement was cheap from aliexpress, less than 5$ but you need to find a way to keep it from swiveling, I used a couple zip ties
You used to have a CBR 500R and upgraded to the 650F? I currently own a 500R and have been thinking about upgrading to a 650F myself. Are you happy with the upgrade? Is there enough difference between the two bikes to justify the upgrade? I just got it in late August and it's my first bike. I've put about 4500 miles on it so far and it does not have ABS. Please advise me.
its a pretty big jump in power, close to twice the HP. comfort is on par with the 500r, with much better hwy passing power and way more stable at higher speed. I paid less that $1900 more than I did for my 500r, at that difference its definitely worth the upgrade
IronicRebound Thank you!
You got any more videos coming out any time soon?
Terry Irwin soon hopefully, been a busy time with the day job, UA-cam doesn't exactly pay any bills 😏
IronicRebound I understand. But you got one subscriber here. Not only that, but if you ever feel like riding in the Kansas City area, I'll ride with you.
what's the Location...would love to get some cool snaps of my ride there
its just south of lakeshore, near port credit
the stock exhaust is beautiful and sleek And u want to change it to Akropovik? I would die to get a underbelly exhaust on my cbr 300r. Honda calls it racefit exhaust ( we usually call underbelly ). Can anyone tell me if I can get underbelly exhaust on CBR300R.
the akra is an underbody exhaust and it looks awesome on her if i do say so myself ;) love the underbody style. Its doable on any bike, but would require custom mid pipe work, any exhaust shop or even DIY would work.
man I love this bike but we have three same thing in mind I dislike 70 percent of what you said . they have a aftermarket seat it a little pricey but looks great
+Andres Duran I've seen the "racing" seat, looks great for sure
Can i fit on it with my 1,95??
Hey Man, I got HID On my 2014 CBR 650F, its very easy to install lol!
+VietCBRL3 just ordered some Philips Xtreme Vision instead, a pair for $40 shipped, should at least improve it a bit for now
+IronicRebound alrighty man, but I recommend you "OPT 7 HIDS Kit" H4
One thing I don't understand about your complaints. They all pretty much have to do with aesthetics. From your headlamp to your rear sprocket. If your so annoyed by these things then why did you proceed to purchase the bike? Don't get me wrong, I love your bike and I am looking to buy one just like it. I could understand if you were unsatisfied with the handling or powerband or mpg. But the aesthetics is something most people alter once they buy the bike.
+Ydkoll true, I love the bike, and my few dislikes I can live with. insurance kind of limited what i am able to purchase cause its so expensive on anything more powerful. I love the bike too!
That's why you get a supermoto :)
+Sumo John maybe, one day....
