I picked her up last Wednesday and have absolutely fallen in love. So excited to get more seat time with her.

This is just me yapping so feel free to skip this and enjoy the photo dump lol.

A bit of backstory, I’ve been riding for 5 years now and the 675ss will be the 7th bike I’ve owned (I used to just rebuild sport bikes and sell them to upgrade).

I took almost a 3 year long break after my GSXR-600 blew up on me. I was torn between a ‘26 ZX6R (previously owned a 2009, loved it), but after all the recall bs, I knew I would be stressing about the integrity of the bike instead of actually enjoying it. I have had my eye on CFMOTO ever since the release of the 450ss and I did a TON of research on this bike. I went to my local dealer and they had the 675ss in stock. I knew I needed to get one.

I genuinely cannot describe how premium this bike feels. I still cannot believe it runs for 8k MSRP. It’s put all my other bikes to shame. With the same torque output as the ZX6R, it feels like a 600cc, the same bikes I’ve been riding on for years.

If anyone is lurking on this sub, or just debating on picking one up, it is a fantastic bike for the price. I haven’t even owned it for a week and she’s already filling up my camera roll lol.

This bike is so comfortable, and I’ve seen the crazy mods people have put on them. I feel like they are my favorite-looking bikes lately, they just have such an exotic look to them. I have the official race windscreen, lever guards, and tall seat on the way. All that’s left is the R1-style tail tidy.

To the 675ss owners, are there any quirks I should look out for on the ‘26 model? Let me know!

In honor of watching season 1 for the 4th time…

Finally watched this show for the first time last month and I’ve already rewatched it for the 4th time. Absolutely fell in love with it.

I decided to draw our man Rust Cohle in honor of finishing the last episode. This was done on my iPad Pro with Apple Pencil in Procreate!

New OEM 15rd Mag FTF

Just picked up two OEM 15rd mags from my LGS.

I have not gotten to take them to the range yet, however, I noticed that I’m getting constant FTF with my carry ammo which is Spear Gold Dot Hollow Points.

I know HP can sometimes catch because of the lip each round has, but the OEM mags never had this issue. The round will feed just fine if I load it with the slide racked.

Has anyone else had this issue? I can’t take it to my range to test my carry ammo because of their rules. Once I take them to the range and get normal FMJ through it I’ll update. Just wanted to see if anyone else had this issue.
