Am I the only one who hates the red CBR?

I'm eyeing up getting a 650r, I have been for awhile but I'm having trouble getting over the blue stripes they chose to put on the red color. Seriously? Am I the only one who thinks they clash horrendously?

Sure the fairing decals can be removed but having to repaint or wrap the tank on a brand new bike feels.. Wrong, not to mention the cost.

But I'm just wondering am I the only person who is annoyed at this color combo more than I probably should be?

CBR650R ECLUTCH / ELECTRICAL ISSUE

Hi, was wondering if this happened to some of you before : every once in a while (every 5-6 days) my bike will bug when I turn on the ignition. The neutral light will start blinking then it disappears. After that the eclutch error mode turns on. I then shift to first without holding the clutch since im still technically on eclutch mode so the clutch lever is dead but it turns off the bike because of the kickstand.

I then have to shut the bike off, and restart it in first while holding the clutch like a normal bike. I then proceed to roll forward and everything just gets back to normal.

I went to the dealer, of course the issue didn't show up when they had the bike, they tightened the clutch cable and did an eclutch reinitialization but it's still doing it.

Ill add a video. Thanks in advance

How do the economics of selling a bike with aftermarket parts work?

I ride all year round. I've already added heated grips, that was relatively cheap, but now I'm considering adding crash bars which is considerably more expensive. I'm wondering if investing in something more expensive would factor into the resale value later on if I were to run into financial trouble. I've heard the rule of thumb, at least for cars, is that the cost of any aftermarket parts is lost and doesn't factor in the resale value. Does that hold true for motorcycles? Thanks in advance

Any opinion on the akrapovic full system exhaust?

I would like to get the loudest and meanest street legal exhaust since I'm in the EU.
I think the best street legal exhaust might be the akra but it doesn't seem to be so loud nor mean.
Can someone with this exhaust give me some opinions about it and tell me weather I should get one?
If you think there are better options fitting the description let me know!

Delkevic exhaust

I own a 2026 cbr650r and was wondering if anyone knows if the delkevic exhaust fits on the 2026 cbr650r? It says on the website that it's meant for the 2019-2021 models but my dad said their website is kind of outdated so it might fit my bike. Has anyone tried fitting it on the 2024+ cbr650r?

Any tips on tracking down cause of PO122 code? (TPS)

Not too long ago, I had an incident on my CBR 650R E-clutch, it slid maybe 10 feet on its left side. Other than the scrapes, it didn’t take much damage or at least I thought. About 100 miles of riding later the bike is stuck in limp mode.

I’m looking for any advice or directions to possibly help track down the cause of the issue. I’m not knowledgeable about this particular thing, however, I’m somewhat mechanically inclined and thought I might have a shot at further diagnosing it with y’all’s help. Thanks a lot in advance.

One thing I thought worth mentioning is on my last ride before the problem occurred, I had been pulsing the throttle; I thought that may have messed with a sensor, so I tried erasing the code, but it wouldn't, granted I have a cheap basic code reader.

Raadsel: waar komt het vandaan

Ik heb sporen van koelvloeistof lekkage. Ik kan alleen niet vinden waar de oorzaak zit. Zit direct achter radiatuer, maar daar zitten zelf geen sporen oo van de lekkage. Slange etc. Nagelopen. Kan niets vinden. Iemand dit ooit gehad of weet waar ik het moet zoeken?
