touring

Hello, I bought a new 2019 CBR650R last year equipped with a new Battlax s22 front tire. I plan on changing the rear one next season since it is becoming rectangular, and it sliped on me a couple of times during low-speed turns. I'm not an aggressive rider so I was planning on buying the...

I'm getting old(er) and my ST1100 is getting heavier - I'd like to lose some weight. I'm familiar with 1,000 mile days, but typically try to keep it between 500 and 750. 3 to 5 hundred could be for lunch. I've been debating purchasing either a CB500F or a CB650F. They both seem to have an more...

Hello everyone, new member here, doing some pre-purchase research on the CB650R. Background: I'm a 61 year old guy, decently fit (not overweight but not ripped), 5'5" tall with a 29 inch inseam. Seat height is always a consideration for me. I started riding at age 49 on a 2012 CBR250R, which I...

Hey y’all!! I will be venturing out on my first motorcycle tour next week - 5 days, somewhere between 1,000-1,500 miles total distance. I’ve been slowly preparing and working my way up to doing this, so I’ve looked around quite a bit to get ideas. However, it never hurts to have as much source...

Hi folks, I'm after some advice regarding an upcoming trip that I am planning, which is the German Alpine Road. It winds its way West to east, or vice versa, from Lindau im Bodensee across to Schönau am Königsee. My plan, starting from Ipswich in East Anglia, is to take the overnight ferry...

Ok guys, I'm planning a road trip later in these so need to add a bit of kit to my cbr, I'm looking at panniers, top box and touring screen. I still want to keep the fantastic look of the bike so am after something that looks good but retains the functionality, has anyone got any recommendations...
