2020 CBR650R Upgraded 2 Days After Delivery (English).

  • My 2020 Honda CBR650R (Phantom 3) was delivered on March 11 and I upgraded it as soon as possible which happened to be 39 hours after it came. It would have been done the same day but motorcycles and a cool ass Challenger in Germany cost "A LOT MORE MONEY than in the US" and I had to work. It has 0 kilometers on it and has never been ridden (seasonal license plate from April/October)... plus this Chinese Flu isn't helping things. I modify all my motorcycles within a day or so of getting them because I don't believe in wasting time or making excuses. No one will see me on the autobahn with a stock exhaust or shitty stock levers. If that was the case it would just sit around until the changes were made and it met with my approval. Now it can be ridden... this is how I roll!
    Upgrades:
    Smoked Windshield
    V-Trec Levers (brake/clutch)
    Bruudt Tail Tidy
    Ram Mount
    PUIG Bar Ends
    IXIL MK2 full exhaust system (no slip-ons available)
    USB 3.0 charger
    Cbr650r Tank Pad
    and 4 US flags (added 2 more after posting this video) for that extra power on the autobahn!
    I'll answer any questions and accept any criticism. I ride year round (more than 1 bike) because someone has to do it. Ride safe, don't break any laws and don't endanger anyone else through reckless acts.

    Did you keep your cbr500? Beginner rider here.. not sure if i could just jump to 650 or start with the 500. Tho i think with 650 ill get the most bang for the buck. What are your thoughts? Difference between this 2? Subbed!

    • @gregoryaparker
      @gregoryaparker  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No, I sold the cbr500r in November because I knew that I was getting the 650. Just go straight to the 650. It's a nice bike to ride, but you will be in a more sporty riding position that with the 500. The differences between the two are to numerous to write here. I rode my little 500 on a 5 country tour. Great bike for touring, but it's not a speed demon by any means. You won't be disappointed with the 650 :)

      I ride alone mostly, but due to German law I can't remove the rear pegs without getting an annotation in my vehicle registration and an inspection on the modification. The rear pegs don't bother me. The biggest mod I've done for all of my bikes was to ride them at full speed on public roads whenever I wanted without breaking the law :)

He said it was to high so I pushed down up on it and rode off. I put it back as soon as I was in the garage. After 11 years here I know what works and what doesn't... plus I'm American :p

      In the last 4 years I've never had a problem with the angle of the license plate probably because only Germans worry about it being 9 degrees to high... Ha ha. I put the first 6km on it about 3 days ago and the sun was shining. I have a similar tail tidy on my Yamaha and I don't have any issues with mud on me personally. I weatherproofed the back of my license plates so that they don't rust so easy. Riding in the rain isn't a problem, that's why we have car washes :)

I'm from North Carolina and lived in 4 countries besides the US before I returned to Germany and settled down after a long time away. I got married, found a job and had kids. That was 11 years and 6 days ago. I was never a US soldier which is a common misbelief. I did get kicked out of the French Army, but that's a story for another time.

      I removed the black plastic cap on the triple tree and cut the Ram Mount stem down to fit it as the instructions state. It's pretty simple and doesn't take long at all. I actually reinforced mine with a metal washer on the top so that I could compress the rubber plug more for an even tighter fit. I've used them before and if they don't fall off or vibrate on the autobahn then they're pretty much good anywhere else in the world.

    5:15 Be careful with that. 30° is legal and everything from 30 to 45° Licenseplate angle is just a few euros but if the angle is more than 45° it becomes a felony "Kennzeichenmissbrauch" and you can get in serious trouble

      After 10 years, 11 months and 17 days in Germany I know the road rules here. I have never had a problem with the license plate (kennzeichen) even when I rode from Regensburg to Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Hungary back in 2018. I fully understand the risks and until now I have never failed a TÜV. I just think it looks better and the blitzer can see it perfectly (believe me). I think the police have better things to do at the moment other than to stop and ask me about my license plate angle. Flensburg can kiss my ass! You only have one life... live it!

      @@justinjohnson4065 There is no slip on for the 2020 CBR650R. The entire system has to be replaced (headers too) and cutting down the stock system to make a slip on fit would be illegal as it would remove the catalytic converter. I don't care about the few horsepower I gain because I can ride as fast as I want, when I want without breaking the law. This isn't the first motorcycle I've done like this... I do it regularly.

    • @gregoryaparker
      @gregoryaparker  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was thinking about a cowl for the rear seat, but I can't see the advantage in using it as the bike already looks nice. I have my eye on a quickshifter as well, but the price jumps all over the place. Until then I'll have to do it the old fashioned way. I don't like the Akra they have for this motorcycle as the headers have to be assembled and springs are needed to hold them. The installation doesn't look seamless, but everyone likes something different (the sound is nice). I've used this same tail tidy on my other 2 motorcycles and since I'm not a fair weather rider I like the little bit of protection it gives. The only thing I'll do now is wear my tires down and get some Pirellis, but that won't take long with a mix of autobahn and country riding :)

      In order to install a new exhaust on the CBR650r the entire system needs to be replaced (unless you chop up the original and weld in a new exhaust). The new one is not titanium, but it has a catalytic converter. Since 2006 all new motorcycles must have a cat, thereby making it illegal to ride without one here in Germany.

The new IXIL Race MK2 system has it's own catalytic converter which is much lighter than the original. Every part I took off of the motorcycle was replaced... I didn't reuse any of them. You can get a "de-cat" system, but it will fail the vehicle inspection when it's time for the emissions test.
