CBR650R My new CBR650R

[Vector]

Here are some new pics of the bike. I still can't ride it 😭😭 In two week I will finally have my license. Guys I can't wait any longer.
On Wednesday they will add the QS. Maybe I am gonna ride it home next week, but *pssst* don't tell anyone!

I am 184cm tall. Just so you know how big the bike is. (6'.0 right?)

This bike definitely needs that seat cowl imo, looks so much better.

Is that an OE windscreen?

Today was the day! I finally could take my bike for a ride and drove it from Munich to Innsbruck. Right around 150 km.
I could test it a little bit, even though i still have to ride it in aaaand it was raining the whole time
The trip included City with a lot of traffic jams, small country roads and the holly german Autobahn.
Driving through the city was really comfortable. The clutch is easy to pull and the engine is really smooth. I did my license on a KTM SMC... Maybe I was just happy to ride an i4 again...
What i disliked was the Quickshifter and the position of the clutch peg. I hit quite a lot of false neutrals. Probably I still have to get used to the new bike and using a Quickshifter. In the lower rpm range the qs works but is really unsmooth. The dealer told me it starts working at around 1500rpm. I wouldn't use it below 5000...
I felt a little bit more weight on the wrist, compared to the F version. You definitely feel more sporty.
In terms of wind reduction, the touring screen does its job. I only noticed the wind hitting my head when i was sitting completely upwards.
The heated grips are a little bit too hot and you cant adjust the heat... The only options are on and off. Probably really helpful in cold wetter. At 10°C i was constantly turning them on and off. Too cold too drive with out and too hot when turned on.
I didn't have the chance too push the bike but i will make a small review once i reached the first service.

Once i got the first service i can make a totally legal video from 0 - Top Speed. I don't want to stress the engine too much in the break in period. One thing i can tell you is, that it reaches 200kph without a problem i didn't even do it on purpose.

Thanks for the updates, nice to know the vibration is gone.

Shame the cops never understand this

I didn't feel any vibrations. Well of course at around 5000rpm the bike wakes up, but it isn't annoying anymore.

I mean it's not illegal here, but i was just passing one or two cars and the next thing i saw was a 200 on the screen... With the fairing you barely feel the wind and the engine just goes

Am I right in thinking your bike is A2 limited Vector?

Can you feel real difference in power

Can you feel real difference in power

The problem is that my cbr650f was restricted... What i can feel is that they fixed the bump in the lower rpms. No it is really linear. The top end obviously is way stronger compared to a 48hp bike
I already loved my 48hp and they felt amazing but now it went from an yaay to an YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

Yes, the manual also says that the Quickshifter can be used from 1500 rpm.
But my motorcycle mechanic also said that it should only be used around 5000 rpm.
Below 5000 rpm I prefer to shift manually.


I apologize for my bumpy english.
