    CB4 concept from this years EICMA

    the CB4 seems to be the platform of choice for concepts. We had some based on the CB650, this year appears to be a CBR600 based unit. It also seems one of the older CB4 concepts has morphed into a CB1000R cafe. good times. https://www.cycleworld.com/honda-teases-cb4-interceptor-concept

    2017 Gear ratios

    The update of the gear ratios appears to be as follows. confirming the reports and dispelling hearsay**. 2nd, through to 5th have a changed ratio in one direction, and 6th seems to go the other way. Suggestion for revs, gear changes and torque to the back wheel for regular use and a handy bit...

    Review: Rapid Magazine review from early 2015

    http://www.rapidbikes.com.au/post/2015/02/17/Test-Honda-CBR650F.aspx I will highlight the closing paragraph.

    Tried to attach a photo to a post and it advised it was too large. Not sure if this was pixel dimensions or data size. or that the system could not handle a resize. What are the required dimensions and storage maximums for an uploaded picture? The picture I had was 1.6MB

    Local Ride - The Old Road - Sydney

    "The Old Road" north of Sydney is a mecha for bike riders, noobs and dickheads of all sorts. it's also a nice bit of road.

    Auatralian review of the 2016 learner version

    http://bikereview.com.au/2014-honda-cbr650f/ It's all middle of the road sort of thing from a couple of motorcycling journalists. I posted on their FB about the clutch, rear tyre, indicator switch block and the lack of a full powered version. not sure why the link says 2014. metadata?
