    CB650F HANDLEBARS - 2017-18 Bars Onto 2016 Bike

    Easiest way to do that is with a set of risers off the yolk, cheap as chips and no need to strip bars down, just make sure your cables will reach the extra few inches.

    You'll handle it no probs, in fact you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner :)

    Lucky escape

    If I were you I'd find a local Kwik Fit or the like and ask them how much would they charge to fit 2 tyres, that you will supply, onto your wheels, which you will remove from the bike. I'll bet they'll do it for £25 each wheel. Then get onto ebay and find your own rubber at a much cheaper cost...

    The problem with buying a new model

    Go canny with the rear hugger....you'll get a lot of crud around the shock if you remove that, without fitting something else in it's place.

    Sobering moments

    I sometimes believe, that a lot of our fellow bikers, don't really appreciate how dangerous Road riding actually is. When you're hurtling round a track at 80+, you at least know the surface is smooth, swept and debris free with lots of free sliding/tumbling space either side in case you off...

    I rode in a side car for the first time yesterday.

    Excellent stuff, get it out in the snow, they're great fun. Had some fun with an old Cossack years ago....what a blast :)

    The problem with buying a new model

    Been wanting to since I saw the first vid of the new bike. A bit like the upside down forks, all the rage aesthetically but what kind are they and do they need upgrading eventually, like you guys have all done. Surprised they didn't go the whole hog with the R, especially as the RR is now gone...

    The problem with buying a new model

    lol...they should have just used an Ohlins unit instead of painting it yellow to look like one...imo :)

    Best commuter cover?

    I've got an Oxford Stormex, sitting around doing nothing if you want it. It's the thick padded one and works a treat, will fit over the 650 no probs.

    CBR650F 2016 CBR650F - Newbie in the NorthWest UK

    Please do not put much faith, in you retaining control of your bike, if the Insurers have anything to do with it. Generally as a rule in the UK, they now write them off, regardless of how little damage you think has occurred. I knew some guys when I was in Virginia Water, who specialise in...

    CBR650F 2016 CBR650F - Newbie in the NorthWest UK

    There is no such thing as a " normal low side crash "......how many times have you lost it on a bike I ask myself ??? .....every crash can be potentially damaging or life threatening, you must remember that. I've used bobbins on my last 4 road bikes, over the last 19 years, and been very...

    ......and many people have crashed/slid/toppled and not damaged anything because the bungs do the job. If you're in a big crash you expect the bike to get pranged badly and no sliders are going to save the insurance write off that will occur.
