Welcome to the forum, nice looking bike with aftermarket rear sets and the pipe, are you happy with it ? Cheers Chris
Thanks, love the exhaust, love the back cover, and i got used to the rear sets. I only say that because i had too much expectation on them, and it took me a while to to adjust it to my liking and than get used to the way they feel. I am happy with them now, but after every ride i feel as though i can make another slight adjustment. Do i regret getting them, no, would i get a different set of rear sets if i could do it again, i would probably research more that's for sure. Mark
What's it like, riding a single cylinder? Kinda curious as I went from a paralell twin (cb250) to a 4 (across). I love the fairings on the new CBR, providing it isn't that stange white red and blue pattern :S But the solid red is very pretty imho
It's not too bad. First gear is gutless, picks up and gets going in 2nd and 3rd though. Easy up to 140Km, after that depends on riding style, body shape and weight up to 160Km. Vibrates a bit on top revs. Does about 300 Kms per tank +-10 depending on riding style. She's light so you can lean her easily on winding roads. The seats low (780mm reported) and if you are relaxed you are fairly upright during normal riding. And front suspension cant be modified and it's soft. (Rider 90kg). Overall it is enjoyable. Mark
:Thumbs_up: Hi Mark, I'm new to the forum and have just acquired my Learners. I grew up in country Victoria, so have some experience riding Dirt Bikes off road, but i am going to be new with 2 wheels on the road. I have my sights on the very bike you own, the new Honda CBR250R, and in the RED colour, as i reckon it looks best in those colours, so its great to hear your feedback on the very bike i am going to buy as my 1st on road machine. I too will be looking at putting an aftermarket pipe on the bike, what brand is the pipe on yours? Does it give a better note? Added ponies? Sorry for all the questions, but i am very new to this, and im very keen to get all the feedback i can get. Regards.
:Thumbs_up: Hello again, i also note that you have some Carbon Fibre bits in the fairing, looks trick, and yes, love the way you've set up the tail, with the colour coded cover. Very nice mate!
