Hi all, I use my bike almost daily year roynd and dont have a garage. Last cover i brought was the Oxford Rainex, seemed decent but its knackered after 18months. Any other recomendations for a good 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.

I've got the Dowco WeatherAll Plus. It's got just about everything that you need in a cover from protection and security to warranty and quality. It is a bit pricey though.

Hi bobxtrax
I am looking to buy the Oxford Stormex, but not sure what size is best for the CBR650f.

Do you know what size Oxford cover you were using, was it Large or Extra Large ,?? Did it fit well??

Many thanks.

II have the "Oxford Aquatex Bike Cover - Large with top box". It seems like quite a good fit.
It's nothing fancy but does the job of covering the bike and keeping the worst of the weather (and prying eyes) off the bike.
I have had it for over 2 years and it is still fine although it usually only gets light use as bike is normally garaged..

Hi, not really sure what size it was, although I could ask the person who now has it whether or not it has a size tag attached. I got it many years ago for my gsx750f, which it covered no problem and it was then over my gixer and finally the 1250 bandit occasionally. IMO superb, strongly made, nice thick cover with the internal padding adding a wee layer of security against accidental scratches etc if required again I would purchase another. Although unsure of the existing sizes, I would assume a Large would be sufficient for the 650. However there would be no loss if you went xl, as you can just tuck any excess under bike.

Many thanks.
In the end, I decided to buy the Large, and it fits perfectly. It looks very good, and has a thickness that should provide good protect for a few years.

If I had a top box, my guess is that XL would be a better choice to allow for the extra space at the back.

Hoping for a good summer, and little use of the cover

After 25year break from bikes, this honda has plenty of character to keep a "born again" interested.
