Dude I just wanna thank you for your videos, they've been a huge influence to me. I've been watching them for the past year while hoping to upgrade to a CB650R, after a long wait I've finally got it and it's an absolute dream for someone coming from a Ninja 250. The sound of the exhaust while going through the penchala tunnel is surreal in real life. Hope to see you sometime around!

Hey man congrats! haha glad you enjoy the videos. I know right the sound doesn't get old every chance I get I will rip through a tunnel. And the fun thing about a 650 is that it's not too powerful that you can full throttle without scaring yourself too much. Are you based in KL? if so I'll probably see you around!

I bought my cbr650r in september 2022 and even I planned for 10k km for exhaust upgrade. its was June 2023 and I clocked 9k km lol...... so could not resist and updated as the price was rising.

Wow that’s a really long time I hope you get it soon. The side bag is just a normal saddle for cruisers but I only installed it on one side as an experiment which turned out okay I guess as a place to store rain gear. But take note that you will limit your right foot movement and there’s no space for passenger footpegs.
