My CBR650R was 8.03 % higher indicated that actual and my Ducati panigale V2 manual states it’s 8%! I think you will find the 10% figure is what level of accuracy is required in the construction and use regs which predate ABS and fairly accurate speed measurement (rubber wear will always affect...

I feel sure this was on a German Autobahn, in know mine was when I maxed the CBR650R (2021) was from memory the 148MPH was an actual 137MPH so the indicates speed was 8.03% higher than the indicated! So 100 indicated would beb91.7 mph real! Interestingly my Ducati Panigale V2 manual actually...

You can get neutral by mistake on any bike, my number of bikes is only three but my Suzuki 125, Honda CBR650R and even my Ducati Panigale V2 do it! It’s normally the same cause and normally changing 2:1 or 1:2 and it’s normally because you don’t remember to press hard with your toes and move the...

Honda plus points. Way cheaper! Way more comfortable Great looking bike! Reliable as sin Awesome first big bike with all the power you need (except when chasing my ex BSB racer son on his V4 panigale on an Autobahn) Ductati V2 Negatives Expensive (in comparison) Much more wristy and legs...

Certainly doesn’t need one! Did 6,000 miles on mine last year including days on Autobahns doing over 100 mph and often maxing it at 148 mph indicated every time my son went to stomp on a fast car with his Ducati V4S and never had the slightest instability! Then hustled it round the Austrian alps...

Did just over 6,000 miles on the 650 having bought it at a bargain price £6750 with on 224 miles on it! The bike has been flawless, had its 600 mile service and nothing else required. Tail tidy, Quickshifter and tinted screen for mods. She ran for a week at high speed chasing a Ducati V4S up to...

Bellissimo 🇮🇹

I upgraded my CBR650R and now I can load different engine maps on the fly I’ve got Street, Sport and Race maps now! Before and after pic’s. Probably a cheaper way to upgrade that the plain Modding route!

Slightly (but only very slightly) sad to say I part ex’d my first big bike in for a Sexy Italian model on Saturday. So my 21 plate CBR650R which I have enjoyed enormously has gone and a Shiny 2022 525 mile Ducati Panigale V2 has replaced her in my heart and Garage. There is an excellent 21 plate...

Going for a pretty radical mod on mine, going to be very expensive though. Here is the before and after pics!

Could be completely different her in the UK than the US but I’ve seen a new CBR650R in my local Dealers late summer here. My 2021 model will be available at a Ducati dealers very soon!

Ducati V2 Panigale QS (up/down) is smooth as silk at pretty much any engine speed, 21 CBR650R is OK lower down but definitely easier and slicker at med/high rpm. So your spot on in your post!

No it doesn’t. The switch in the OEM Quickshifter and the h aftermarket ones only cut the ignition when you click the shifter UP, there is no down switch so it can’t cut it going down. Up Down are known as Quickshifter/blippers have separate up / down switches (or strain gauges) and Quickshift...

Just looked up the front fork cartridge kit fitted to your bike! That’s $1,500 of extras right there! So not quite stock! No Quickshifter thought which I think is a quick relatively cheap DIY mod, lots of YouTube vids showing you how! Here’s the link for your front fork cartridges …...

My year old 6250 mile UK CBR650R doesn’t smell particularly of un-burnt petrol (gas to you) but if it hasn’t been used for a while the bike might richen the amount injected if their was any delay in fuel getting through to the cylinders. TBH I would only worry about the track miles if the...

Open the throttle if you do 0-60 in about 3 seconds your bike isn’t restricted!

Ouch he may be loaded but it’s still gotta hurt! Begs the question who was playing with drain plugs at 1,000 miles ? Other than a dealer of first service?

It’s an excellent upgrade I love mine! Enjoy 😉

Not really definite as mine is a 2021 model year bike but the Honda Quickshifter I fitted myself which I guess is probably the same part used on the 2019 bikes definitely doesn’t have a washer there! Picture for reference.
