Just No Honda Boon Siew.

for Sport Bike.

I really not sure is boon siew or honda problem...
craftmanship, and spare parts like order from mars.
their sport bike I think best for display at home.

Nah i already wait 2 years. I can wait a bit more.
Beside i already financially strained before. And I gave up half of my bike saving to survive. This time I'll take it easy and no rush.
I will buy it when I'm ready.

Put a booking during Big wing Johor Roadshow.
Waiting line 4 months.

I gave up finding a second hand unit on my 35k budget.
So I figure what the hell.

I did the bike testing and I'm excited and scared at the same time.

250 was the highest cc bike I rode. This 650 is a different kind of beast. I was about to change my mind and getting the new MT-09.. but i guess this should be enough for me.

welcome to club bro~ upgrade your license (if you haven't done so) and learn the proper riding to improve your skill~ as you can feel, it is totally different from 250cc~ migrating from kapcai to 250cc is nothing coz the characteristic is almost similar, but not when u go beyond 500cc~

Yeah I upgraded my license.

I use mt-07 during license practiceand exam. So my expectation with the CB650 was ..."ok probably similar"... turns out... it's not similar at all. This bike top end is no joke. And I was not prepared.

But the down low are tame and friendly unlike the MT. That's my savings grace.

Right there I thought "yeah I'm like an old man and this is for me"

Thank God I took the bike for testing. If not I already book for the mt-09 v3

Rumours has it that honda is releasing a 750cc next year

Probably

Translap 750.
Hornet 750
Cbr750rr
And Probably cb750r

In it most probably a twin

So not sure what the future holds for the current 650
