  • From 2007 to 2017 this bike has dominated the middle weight naked scene. Here's a little recap of this lord of the light weight's evolution so far, from its first steps in 2007 to its controversial face lift in 2012 full body tightening in 2013 all the way up to its reincarnation for 2017.

    I tried the 'R' version like this one but didn't like it, I thought it was too harsh, the standard version was so much better it felt like a different bike, possibly because I'm only 60 kilos, I bought it new in 2009 it's got 40k miles on it now, the valves haven't need adjusting and apart from the regulator which was replaced free it's never let me down, I don't need any modes or fancy electrickery so I don't want a newer one, it's a keeper!

    Currently looking at a 2007 with 15k on the clock. Great vid. Hope I'm making the right choice. Had my 650r Ninja throw a rod 2 days ago. Time for an upgrade.

    • @RarefiedRoad
      @RarefiedRoad  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No i'd say you're making a good choice. It's a nice little upgrade from the Ninja, decent boost in power, I just hope you get on with the engines delivery and riding position.

    • @8bittoaster
      @8bittoaster 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Think I'll be right with it. The Ninja 650r is a sport tourer upright riding. I've become used to it. Grip points and power delivery is something you need to get used to on any bike you sit on for the first time.

      @@kolour7611 I did the spark plugs, new oil and oil filter, new air filter and new coolent. It’s still not had valve clearnesses done but it sounds great still. Really depends on how it’s been looked after. The triple engine is very reliable, I’ve had no issues!

    I owned a 63 plate with the stretched lights which I wasn’t as keen on. Bought a second had set of bug eyes, got them powder coated black and fitted them. Best looking mod I did.

    I just picked up the 2010 R model and it was well taken care of besides losing side ferrings and all 4 blinkers. Throttle could use adjustment but otherwise I think I got a solid deal for this even more solid triple. 10k miles.

    Had one of these for a year before it was stolen while parked overnight in London. Good bike and you're spot on about the fantastic torque/bhp benefits of the triple engine. Have you ridden a V4? Imo they're even better in this respect. I now ride a 1999 VFr800 (pre Vtech) and the low end torque/high end bhp combination is even better. The last 3 bikes Ive owned have all been VFRs for this reason.

    • @RarefiedRoad
      @RarefiedRoad  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I actually haven't tried a V4 yet but I am itching to borrow one. I feel like I may hunt down a VFR in the future because I think I'd like that bike a lot.

    Do you think it would be a feasible idea to change the front or rear sprocket to help reduce the tendency for pulling wheelie's.

    • @RarefiedRoad
      @RarefiedRoad  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah changing the rear sprocket is always an option, obviously it will change the character a little, you might find the later 2012 models a little easier to get on with as they have a taller first gear which helps.
