Wow, I wonder if the stock ones could have been tightened to achieve the same?
Very interesting.

I have been off sick sorry.
I read about this vibration issue before I bought my 2014 bike second hand. I must be lucky because i don't notice any vibration at all. Compared to my last bike, a BMW K1300 which would put your hands to sleep in 10 minutes. Seems odd that some bikes suffer it and others don't?

Yes,i think it depends on what your last ride was. Are you getting on all right with the old girl.

I've got no vibration issues so far with the CB and there were none with the CBR either...
However, the CBR500R I had before.... well that was another matter...

Or had a balance shaft.

yeah, the japan thing.
I sometime wonder if some problems come from the clutch. I get a change of engine character when I just start to pull the clutch.
I get the play with this a lot due to the amount of heavy traffic I get to commute in on a regular basis. Gets me thinking that early production needed some polish.

I have the same issue with a vibration which goes when the clutch is pulled in,it's exactly the same as my cbr600rr8 which over time actually got worse.I wondered if it was maybe a transmission thing?

I did consider a street triple but for me an ugly duckling.
I can't pick a better looking sport tourer in the 600 range than ours.

The triumph ticked all the boxes for me but I just couldn't press bin,

I'm rattling on a bit,but I cannot get enough of my cb,but if I could make a change I would like less weight and more power.

I considered the new Street Triple RS. I test rode it and it was undoubtedly the best bike I've ever ridden... although the seat was very hard and the bar end mirrors vibrated so much over 50mph they were essentially useless. The looks are quirky but pretty sexy too...
However, when it came to it, I could not justify paying 10.5k for a bike and I would not use either the performance or the plethora of extra features and riding modes.
I'm delighted with my Honda... my 5th Honda and 5th bike... it will take either a very good deal or something truly special to turn me away from Honda I think...

Best way to save weight is an exhaust change as the standard one is really heavy... as for more power you'll see an increase in performance by losing the weight and changing the OEM air filter for a K&N filter... I'm not convinced a power commander is worth the money.
You'll see exactly zero performance increase from fitting a K&N filter and very little in a full exhaust. The bike will breathe better with the pipe and fuel better with the PCV but it will still be an under 100hp bike because that is what it was designed to be.
I agree, the OEM pipe is a heavy beast, however.
