With my days of litre sports bikes over (for road use at least) I have been in the hunt for a more upright alternative.
I had been looking at a CB1000R initially but having test ridden both I decided on a CB650R. It’s a real box ticker for me and is more than powerful enough for road use.
It’s like a modern day Hornet with neo-retro styling.
The bike comes with Metzeler Roadtec 01s, which I’m not a huge fan of so I got a pair of trusty Pirelli Diablo Rosso 3s, which Honda fitted for me.
I ordered the bike with the comfort pack (heated grips, fly screen and 12v accessory socket) and the sports pack (quickshifter, anodised belly pan and seat cowl).
The sports pack items are currently on backorder from Honda so I’m going to have them fitted at the run in service.
No modifications planned other than the usual R&G tail tidy, crash protection, radiator guard etc.
First impressions are great.
Buttery smooth inline 4 and gearbox as you’d expect from Honda.
Look forward to racking up the cruising miles!
