I have the same bike removed the back end installed a tail tidy the put full stainless steel twin black widow end cans on removed baffles and it sounds amazing
@@bikersquest oh so you do. I was interested in one of these but didn't go for it because I failed to source a rack. Where did you get it from?? Top box is a must on commuter bikes.
@@bikersquest yes I've just checked it out on ebay. Racks are now available and very reasonable too. Long overdue. Do you find the bike undergeared? Could it pull an extra tooth? I'm seriously looking at getting one. 100 mph bikes have had their day.
@@barnbersonol First gear feels very short but I wouldn't change the gearing as it handles highway speeds with a decent amount of power in reserve (for a 250), increasing the gearing might make things a big riskier in high speed. That being said I think some people have geared it up in forums etc
I don't recall the longest journey on this bike but it can do long distance fine. Holding 70MPH is higher in the revs around 9000 but it can handle sitting there quite easily.
@@bikersquest read few comments about this bike most very good, some do say about high revs but does seem like good little bike, thinking of the bike as a daily 2nd bike. Would you trust your bike to do mini UK touring on.
@@bikersquest That's good to hear, I know it's little underpowered but I'm sure it's not a problem, few people comment and mentioned cbr500 which I guess is maybe better because of more bhp.

For a commuter it sounds good!
Muito top....qual escapamento e este do vídeo?
Black Widow 400mm oval stainless steel exhaust
What tyre set you are using there?
I believe it's the stock IRC road winners
I'd get one if these but there's nowhere to mount rear rack which for me is a Must have.
Do you mean pannier racks? I have a rear rack for top box on the bike already.

@@barnbersonol Oh I got it factory fitted, it's the OEM one. But Givi and Shad and few others make racks too I believe.

Still got the bike. What's the longest journey you've done on it

@@DannyT636 Yes definitely I haven't had a single incident of being stranded or close to with it. It's a really good 2nd bike.

@@DannyT636 The CB 500s are better I would go for a CB500x if you can stretch that far, their fuel economy is similar
