Re: Been having a few issues.

It hasn't cut out since finding the loose wire but sometimes struggles to start hence the ignition barrel getting attention. Everything does seem fine on it now but was just wanting a second opinion and no I don't have a multimeter I'm afraid. Sent from my XT1039 using Tapatalk Where in Liverpool a...

Is there not a Road tax break at 600cc which the 650 would fall foul of? Be a fair few 13mpg to save that year extra.
Yeah it's about £20 a year difference, but considering I do 15k a year on average, I'd more than make that back.

Cbr 650F or Cbr 600f

Two bikes have currently got my attention, the Cbr 600F (2011-2013) and its replacement, the Cbr 650F. Has anyone got any experience of either bike? Is there really much difference for the £2k price difference?
