MotorBike001 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Nice, like the colour scheme Thanks - yes I think it looks good too. That back wheel being white is a bit of a pain to keep clean though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Very cool bike and very well photographed . What effect have you applied in pic No.1 ? Looks like pencil drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The effect in the first Pic was made using Silver Efex Pro in Photoshop - it used to be a paid for add-on but Google bought it a few years ago and now it's free:https://www.google.com/nikcollection/products/silver-efex-pro/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanBor Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Hi there! How are you getting on with the bike? Do you love it? I am just considering getting one of these and I am torn between this one and the CBR500R.. any good or bad points you would be able to share? How’s the consumption? I have a CBR 125 at the moment and had passed my license at the beginning of November Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeman Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Looks great, would look better with a tail tidy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorBike001 Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 Hi there! How are you getting on with the bike? Do you love it? I am just considering getting one of these and I am torn between this one and the CBR500R.. any good or bad points you would be able to share? How’s the consumption? I have a CBR 125 at the moment and had passed my license at the beginning of November I've had my 650F just over a year now. I too came from a 125. I was toying with a CBR500R but the salesman advised having more power with the 650F so that's what I went with.I have loved having and riding it but I do get bored quite quickly (this could be most riders..?), and will probably get something else next year.Good Points* I feel a very safe bike to ride, as it has ABS* Quite economical, ~50mpg* Seems very reliable - no issues at all* Pretty fast - 0-60 3.5 secs, I've done 130mph on it (once!)* The fairing does a good job of keeping wind resistance downBad Points* Doesn't have a gear indicator. As it's quite high revving it can be difficult to know which gear you're in* Not comfortable for > 3-4 hours. It is a sporty bike though, so to be expected* High revs for proper acceleration (my mate has a KTM and the power band is much lower)Overall, I would say go for it. It's only as I'm thinking of going longer distances, and I want a bigger engine, I'm thinking of changing it.Well done on passing your test BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
