That sounds good. I have a CB650F. 2018. Great bike. I haven’t done any mods to it yet.
It does sound nice ! I remember
back in the day on my 550 seca had a RC header on it and it screamed nice. I was in my early 20s then now I’m in my early 60s, must be going through my second childhood cuz I want that sound again
Man just be lucky that you got to have those things back in your youth!! Now, we would kill to have fun toys from the days back. It's the same role just reversed, I wish I had a bike like that now! You're the lucky one
@@koofdome I put over one hundred thousand miles on that bike then I cracked the motor open going to buy a chain for it. Chain broke and cracked it right at the counter shaft sprocket about 12” long crack. Turned it into a parts bike lol
@@koofdome I’m seriously thinking about getting one of those 650f or the rebel 1100 gotta wait till it hits the showroom so I can sit on it
I think the seat height is too high for me I’m kinda short
Well insurance put the halt on getting a cb650r they want more than double what I pay so I got a sportster with a Vance n Hines short shots insurance went down by 200 a year
I have a '16 CB500F, but I've been thinking of moving up to the 650F. Seeing how beautiful your bike is makes me want one even more.
They're amazing bikes but make sure you get it used! Don't pay full price for one. Especially since the 650R's are a thing now.
But keep in mind the slight jump from a 500 to a 650. I went from a 300 to this bike so that was huge for me. If you're already on a 500 just consider that. Be honest with yourself and see if you're ready for even more power ;)
I have the 500f too but seriously thinking about getting the 650f
Hopefully I don’t get into too much trouble lol I love going fast
Nice!! I just picked one up. It had 96 miles on it!!!! The 2bros exhaust sounds beastly! I hope I can still find a set!
I have the same bike. It's very underrated and people just lump it together with the other naked bikes from the other brands, but it's definitely a lot better than the competition. I think it puts out more power than claimed...idk but it's fast and sounds awesome. In 2018 I believe it was the only one offering a 4-cyl engine while the others were all 2-cyl. Only thing I did to mine was the tail eliminator, the same windscreen, and a bagster seat. Definitely needs a new seat and bagster makes a very nice one that fits as good as stock, very comfortable. I'm not ditching the stock exhaust because it looks nicer than all the aftermarket options, and it has an electronically controlled valve that basically makes it bypass the muffler/cat above a certain RPM. People would normally pay extra for something like that aftermarket but I think all the exhausts are downgrades from the stock unit in this case. Plus I like being able to sneak around quietly at low revs.
She is totally gorgeous! I love your style, subtle effective mods, that also look fantastic. Have a good one a ride safe! ;-)
Thank you!! I wanted slight details that would also add functionality. Every modification serves a purpose whether it be brighter turn signals for safety, or a dyno tune for performance and everything in between! Thanks :)
One of the sweetest sounds i've heard on any street bike - nice job' -
I love it! I was so torn between the CB and the MT07, but overall I just could not deny the sound of an inline-4
Never fails to put a smile. Love it
I've got the same bike and live in Pennsylvania. I had my eye on it before it was released and purchased it in 2018. I've got the same Two Brothers exhaust system and took the baffle out and it sounds mean. I love the bike. Stay safe man!
Doodle it's such a dope bike. Only thing that needs to go is that fuckin seat lol. It's horrible. I wanna save up for a Corbin seat this winter and gift it to myself for spring 2021 ;)
@@koofdome I hardly ever ride for more than an hour at a time so lucky for me the seat has been fine lol. Though you have me intrigued now and looking at the Corbin seat looks oh so comfy. If you get one be sure to update us!!
Doodle oh I will!!
When you took the baffle out did you feel like you lost power? I’m debating to take mine off? Will I be able to put it back in?
@@andrewmoya7399 It doesn't feel like it lost any power, but I'm not saying it isn't possible. It's super easy to take out and put back in. Just a few screws and you can pull it right out.
Gurgly, burbly exhaust, loving it!
Alas, I went for the MT-07 in the end. Definitely less burbly than the 650.
Congrats man. Snagged one of these around the same time too. Still haven’t gotten around to modding yet.
Man those back tires look so good to look at
I have the same bike as well. Like the mods you did so far. Great Job . Drive safe all the way from Nova Scotia Canada.
Fantastic motorcycle
Thank you!! I love it
Keep the content coming your right not enough fans of this bike. Try Michelin road 5 tires if you do rain riding.
Thanks for providing links to all your aftermarket add-ons
Absolutely! I like things organized and laid out neatly to help others
I have one of these and I love it. Did the power commander fix the dead spot near 7,000 rpm? Also, I didn’t see any protection on the left side engine cover (stator side). My first real street bike was a C50t (not counting the dual sports) and when I first got my cb650 it felt like i traded in a school bus for a corvette. I’ve really enjoyed it so far and you just don’t see these around much. Sometimes it leaves me wanting a bit more power and riding 2 up feels cramped but alright for short trips. It’s very hard for me to ride mine without at least one 11,000 rpm pull! The little inline 4 really comes to life around 9,000. I ride mine pretty regularly and put around 1,000 miles on it every 2 months. I use the Honda HP4 oil and OEM filters and change it every 4000 miles. Only thing I’ve had to do is adjust the clutch free play at around 2000 miles and tighten the chain up. From the factory my left side chain adjuster wasn’t even finger tight! I checked all the other major components and found a few more that weren’t quite to spec! It’s worth a once over for the peace of mind! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. Happy riding, stay safe.
They're amazing bikes. The only maintenance ive had to do in the 6,000 miles I've owned it so far in 10 months is oil changed, basic chain care/tension/wax and some lever free play.
Brake fluid is getting changed also and all new fluids after the winter! It's an amazing bike.
The power commander definitely fixed that dead spot. Now with that installed and my tuner getting it all dialed in (thank you to him again!) it is great. It pulls constantly through every rpm range, the bike just wants to be ridden in high rpms. You can't get enough of it.
The dead spot definitely got fixed.
I am tall, at 6'5 so mostly any bike will be cramped for me, I do find my groin/hip flexors very tense and tight after standing up after even an hour long ride. I am going to look into a Corbin seat next summer. Have heard nothing but amazing stuff from em.
Ride safe tho great looking bike you got there !🤙❤️🔥
Those headers aren't nearly as beautiful as the factory unit... I have this bike as well, bought at a heavy discount. I never would have bought it at full price, but i do love it. I like the wide, flat bars, and being able to stand up if I need to. I am more of a dual sport guy, but this is an excellent, do it all road bike.
Killer bike!
Nice job!
Beautiful bike
Krzysztof B Thank you! It's such a great bike to own.
Awesome !! 🎥🎥🎥🎥❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🍻🍻
I have the same bike and love it I do want to do the same mods that you have
It's a kickass bike! Hopefully the links provided are a big help
Great video bro,,,,,,!,,,,,,!,,,,,!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! & thanks for watching
If you could go back and had the money would you have skipped the cb300r and gotten this bike instead?
Absolutely. Buying a 300 was a mistake, there's no way anyone can't start off on a 650.
Sounds good was hoping you would really rap it up
I wanted to buy of COURSE once I started it a car came up on the parking garage....like cmon
@@koofdome I got a major ticket in California when I first put my header on my seca 550. Going through the long tunnel in Los Angeles. 120 in a 55 (back in the 80s)when he pulled me over he asked how fast I was going so I pointed to my speedometer it only went to 85 (dumb law that politicians thought we’d stop at that speed lol 😂) so 6 months in jail and revoked license for 1 year and of course a big fine
I actually thought about moving up to the CB1000rr
I would absolutely love to, but man it's expensive for my budget. It's essentially the price of a newish car. And if I was gonna go for a thousand cc's I would probably get a used bike from someone since they're so plentiful. If money wasn't a thing, 1000 all the way.
How long did it take you to get your tank pads in the mail? I’ve got the same bike and love the look of them so I ordered it.
They came in about 1.5 weeks but that was like March 2020, during the pandemic so worldwide shipping was delayed and even that wasn't bad of a wait.
They will probably come sooner for you now!
Hi Bro. When did you find the engine sliders? It looks great!!!!
Thanks.
Link is in description for the sliders! If you want more of a crash bar setup for stunting here you go also

@@koofdome Thanks!!!
Hey man I am looking into ordering the PAIR Valve Block-off Plates you have in the description but I was wondering if you have any check engine lights?
Franco not on US model no, check the 650f.bike website though for the forums, I don't think US model cares.
@@koofdome WOW what a fast reply Thank you very much
good
Hey brotha! So I finally got my tarmac exhaust.
There is a baffle! It sounds clean with it. But not really loud. You toook yours off!? So that means you can’t put it back again? Cuz there’s like 2 rivets holding the baffle?
Hell yeah so glad to hear you got the tarmac. It's an amazing exhaust, designed by a professional racing company that was founded on making pipes specifically FOR Honda. The guys over at TBR know what they're doing, don't let anyone tell you different.
The baffle removes very easily. Around the black octagon shaped (I guess you call it octagon) exhaust tip there are I believe 5 or 6 screws. You remove those and the little black end cap comes off the exhaust.
Under there you will see the baffle with its flange held on by 2 small screws. It's self explanatory at that point, just remove it real quick, pop out the baffle (it's a silver pipe above 6 inches long with a ring) and start it up! If you don't like the sound, pop it back in and put the end cap back on.
Hope it makes sense. Takes 1.5 minutes!
@@koofdome hell yeah brotha! Thank you for the info! It was a lot helpful!!
Just one question! Did you notice and loss of power when you removed it ?
Cuz rn with the baffle it feels great redlining it. Idk performance wise if ima lose some power 🤔
Do you have the item # on that Tarmac exhaust? RevZilla has it out of stock!
frank soto Keep in mind it's summer and riding season is upon us! Might be sold out temporarily.
Item: P285465 SKU: 985295
Also, TBR has amazing customer service. Contact them directly they can perhaps get you situated!
Did you have any issues ordering the Vegabond fender elim? I ordered one 2 months ago and waited for 2 weeks and never got a confirmation that it ever shipped, so I cancelled it and ordered from a different company
DoramaRx thats really odd. They're a really reputable company :/ hmmmm. I'm sorry you had that experience!
What's mpg like in normal riding? Thanks
Around 40-45mpg
Any More Videos With The Exhaust? Sounds pretty dope!
Got An Instagram? Lol
