    What are your opinions on the 2025 GSX-R750

    1st time I went to cadwell I shit myself but actually most of the good roads are narrower as generally you use the half you're supposed to ride on. Once you get your head round that cadwell is awesome make no mistake I've gone over the grass and been very scared and I aren't fast. But cadwell...

    What are your opinions on the 2025 GSX-R750

    until you ride it you dont realise how narrow the track is, until you walk round you dont realise how bloody steep the mountain and the hill up to charlies 1 and 2 are

    What's the 2024 /2025 CBR650R missing?

    I'd love an extra 20bhp, I don't need it, but would like it. I like the simplistic side to the CBR at 94 bhp I just cant see why we need rain mode, sports mode and stabalizers.... I bought and fitted genuine heated grips, not as easy as after market ones but look and more importantly work...

    Carbon buildup , oil?

    I leave mine on tickover whilst I make sure all my gear is fastened properly and the mirrors back in the right position. I have to move them in for storage, by that time the revs are already dropping even at this time of year. I usually have to travel a few miles to get to a road I can start...

    Interesting video about counter steering

    clearly trying to get a reaction. I did the course last year and can honestly say changed my riding beyond my belief. was 1.5 seconds faster round Cadwell park than I have ever ridden it, outbreaking and passing people down the gooseneck in the rain. clearly Tom at I2I knows nothing.

    Eurosport UK

    I'm always amazed people have time to watch it all. I like BSB but record it and fast forward through all the crap. Time to do my things is just too short supply.

    Eurosport UK

    Word on the rumor mill is that Eurosport is getting pulled in the UK at the end of February, if it does go the only way to watch BSB, WSBK (and for me some cycling) will be to pay a tiny £30.99 a month. Guess that will save me a boat load of dosh as Ill get rid of my TV internet and go internet...

    Michelin Road 6 or Dunlop Roadsmart 4

    As stated lots of tyre talk on this site. I opted for the Metzler Roadtec 02's and have been very impressed, but wonder if they are suited to UK roads better than some others. Our surfaces are hard wearing compared to Europe and generally warmer climates.

    Interesting video about counter steering

    To be honest, I don't understand the vast number of articles on the subject. If you travel above about 8mph you have to counter steer to lean the bike over. Granted understanding it and adapting it's use is advantageous but we all do it anyway

    So, whats next? A liter bike? Or perhaps a cruiser??

    further to my earlier comment about pouring bleach in your eyes (and I'm not recommending it) today's ride over the moors to Grassington was interesting, as I said to my mate, due to mist and fog, I wasn't scared, you need to see something to fear it. I had the CBR sliding and spinning up...

    My experience with HEL Performance UK - Brake line kit now available for -23 CB650R's

    i ordered a kit in the UK about 18 months back, cant remember who from, but after paying they advised me it would be 3 months for delivery. I ntensd to replace the pipes bu haven't gotten round to it since then.

    So, whats next? A liter bike? Or perhaps a cruiser??

    My ego wants a litre bike and I nearly bought a blade before my 650r. That said they're 60+ bhp I'd not use on the road. Even on track (in the UK our tracks are a bit querky) 600cc ish is fast enough unless your at Silverstone or donnington. Personally the 100bhp that most modern mid size bikes...

    CBR650R Bike pulls right

    I'd go to a tyre issue after what you've checked. I know cars are different but have seen loads with tyre wall damage to the inner tyre wall due to speed humps. If the alignments good tyre drag can cause the issue

    Mixing sport front tire (Battlax s22) with sport touring rear tire (Road 6 or anything else)

    wouldn't think there would be an issue, I get my confidence from the front end, dont know why, so would chose a tyre you want on the front later.
