Hi all, just joined today and bought a CB650R this afternoon in red, picking it up on Thursday, so fingers crossed with my purchase. 🤗 Traded in my CB500X. Great bike, but need just a bit more oomph, the inline 4 is my favourite engine, had them before with different make bikes. The optional OEM quick shifter is on back order too. There’s a current post on these in the forums I noticed, so we’ll see what happens with that.🤔

Where did you buy from? Hunts Honda?

You would think, but this time tried somewhere different, to make a day out of it and went to Blackpool Honda instead.

Fair enough. I bought mine from Hunts and was really pleased with their service. Especially considering I am down in the South East but I worked with John there and we did the deal all over the phone/text/email and delivered the bike for free.

Enjoy your new bike. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Bike’s arrived, quickshifter fitted, all is well. :DGreat so far, was thinking of an airhawk seat. Don’t know which one to go for, DualSport or Cruiser small. Don’t suppose anyone has one fitted and can tell me which one? I’m 6ft 1 and could do with the seat raised a bit, eases up on the knees which for me is the first fatigue area, then the butt. Did 160 miles before the reserve kicks in, by which time I really needed to stand up!:inpain: Enjoying the bike a lot, works really well as a fun road bike.
