Hi all,

As the title says I have bought one of the Honda CBR 650F bikes. Been very happy with it so far but itching to get some modifications on it.

I have eventually found a tail tidy that should work:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CB650F-CBR650F-Fender-Eliminator-Tail-tidy-2014-CBR-CB-650-F-/191260342260?pt=AU_Motorcycle_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c880137f4

I should get some crash bungs sorted and really wanted to get an exhaust and was really looking to see if anyone knew if anything would fit or heard anything about any other mods that could work?

Many thanks guys!

Aftermarket exhaust (SP Engineering or Delkevic would be my choice)
Any adjustements/mod's for comfort, e.g. Renthals, heated grips, double bubble screen, one of those seat pillow thingies and so on.
Tail Tidy
Smaller indicators (originals are always huuuuge)
Smaller number plate (looks soo much tidier with a smaller number plate + tail tidy)
Rear hugger/mudguard

Ahh, I didn't notice that you were struggling to find parts, thought you were after ideas for mod's.

It's a new bike so i'm sure Honda will have some overpriced plasticy bits for it.

It may just have to be a matter of waiting for companies to develop parts but I would of thought bigger brands such as R&G and the major exhaust manafactures would of already had products ready for the new CBR650F.

Leave it standard. It's hardly like any modifications are going to make it less dull.


Dull in what sense? Looks or road handling? I ask as was looking at them - I like the look of them as a first big bike - for someone that wants to commute but also have a blast through A-roads. Yes I'm sure it compromises on looks and performance but it looks like its perfect for someone who doesn't want or need a full on sports bike.

Say what you want really but I am loving it for my first big bike. In white it looks beautiful just needs a nice exhaust to make it sound good.

I wish people would ruddy post pictures when they are discussing bikes! Laughing
(edit: Thanks MRB)

Looks good IMO
Doesn't look as bloated as the fairing on the olde 600F
Although I personally wouldn't buy a new bike for my first big bike.

Meanwhile ... back on topic
New exhaust and maybe a slightly different tinted screen based on your colour scheme. Thumbs Up

I have ordered a double bubble tinted screen from:

https://www.powerbronze.co.uk/newproducts.aspx

That should arrive tomorrow. I really wanted an exhaust. I love the bike. Brand new doesn't bother me and gives me peace of mind for the first bike.

MPG is reading as 55 atm but I have not been gentle in the slightest

Thanks guys!

Nice bike....have been looking at these as I want a good all rounder bike that I can commute on but also take for a blast at weekends.

If you dont mind me asking, what kind of deal did you get on it new? I know they are rrp £7000 but wondered if youd got anything knocked off or freebies included?

White bikes are ugly, all of them!


Vinyl wrap it black, and note this will protect the paint for if/when you eventually sell.

Why wrap it to protect the paint until you sell it, I bet you keep the cellophane on your sofa.

Ride it, thrash it, wash it, scratch it, or do whatever you want with it, don't hide it under a wrap so the next owner will be happy.

In all honesty they look very nice, people (that includes myself), see it a step down from the original hornet as it has less power, but after seeing reviews of it, it seems Honda have got it right again.

Enjoy your new bike.

Not much of a deal but I wanted it. It has cost me next to nothing is a brilliant all round bike. Goes fine as a tourer and I commute to work with it but I can blast about at the weekend with my mates and keep up with them fine.

kramdra that is your opinion. I had a black bike before and am loving the colour of this one currently.
