Test fitting the nav tower for some TET action this year and beyond!

[FurballS2000]

Out with the old and in with the new (although the new bike is actually older!)

Got my full licence last week, so the inevitable happened this weekend and I now have my first big bike




Racked up many many miles today, loving it

Congratulations on the pass. What is the bike? You don’t see many 4 cylinders now.

I made a thread about this rebuild.

I have mod 1 next week so trying to get my mito 250 tzr conversion finished (full nut n bolt rebuild) and have an RS660 ordered.

Did you see my 443cc banshee engined mito build?

Had a bit of a break in the weather so me and a mate headed out for a bit of a bimble about this afternoon, roads were damp in places and a lot of gravel about so bikes are filthy now but it was nice to get out for a bit!

Looks great, love both of those bikes. No riding for me this weekend as I have a man cold.

Had a load of fun riding the new BMW F900R Cup bike at Almeria on Friday. I'm a relative track novice, but it had me laughing and I daresay I was faster in corners than on the S1000RRs I spent most of the day riding. Helps that it sounds ridiculous – both in volume and general naughtiness as you go up and down the box. Can't wait to see 38 or so of these filling grids in the BSB support races.

Helmsley in the sunshine. Didn’t dare park near the other bikes in case I dropped it…🫣

[SAS Tom]

Bike back together now, wanted to ride it but couldn’t find the V5 to tax it!

Congratulations. Don’t recognise the new bike, what is it?

Brilliant. Please let us know how it compares with the 125R. Got my theory booked for a few weeks time….

Fettling with my friends RD80 yesterday. Stunning little bike.

Its been sat around 9 months with Super Unleaded. I did the same carb clean on it last Winter and it ran like a champ afterwards with just a soak in carb cleaner and a blow thru with an air line.

This year not so lucky, idle jet totally blocked so easier and fool proof to replace the jet and a soak in the ultrasonic cleaner coming up.

[FurballS2000]

Cheers guys, it's a Honda CB650R.

The 4 cylinder engine is one of the big draws of the bike with many middleweight bikes now going the parallel twin route...

@PT1984, do it mate, you won't regret it I did love my CB125R but wouldn't want to go back to it now!

[PT1984]

I just love the look of these. They look a premium product. I’m amazed at the build quality of my 125R.

Is the riding position similar to the 125? I assume still being cable the throttle response is quite nice too?!

Looking at your username I assume a Honda IL4 was the only choice!

I know this is a bike thread/forum section but, are we all happy to just gloss over the fact there’s a Senna MP4/8 in the background?

Are you able to provide any info on the car, Brian?

I am slightly embarrassed to say that my eye was first drawn to the lovely transition between the block paved floor and the resin painted concrete, but then happened to notice the MP4 in the background - wow!
