CF650NK First Ride
I took the plunge recently and bought a CF650NK from Mark down at All2wheelers in Poole, uk. First up Mark is a great bloke to deal with and a proper old school bike garage not a blingy main dealer, I'd absolutely recommend him if you local and thinking of buying.
Took the bike out for a first ride yesterday and loved every minute! The bike feels comfortable straight off, the riding position is natural and the bike handles really well, confidence inspiring straight off even with new tyres in the wet. Even sticking sticking to the run in procedure the bike does 55-60 mph at around 3500rpm which you have to keep up for 500 miles. The fuelling was flawless at all throttle openings, the engine felt strong and responsive. A bit frustrating as you know there is a lot more power available😊 but I'm going to be good and stick with the proper break in. The bike looks to be a pretty good build quality, the paint and metal finishes look pretty good but I guess only time and miles will tell. I have to be honest and say the look of the bike as well as the price hooked me on the bike. The only thing I wasn't keen on we're the tacky stickers but none of them are lacquered over so it's a ten minute job to take them all off. |
