Thanks for the real talk here, you watch people reviewing as a job on yt and its too much of literally every single bike is amazing and the best thing they've ever sat on.

Well the reason for them not giving Pirellis as stock has to do with the heavy import tax our Government (Indian) started imposing on Foreign made tyres. Also, our government made it mandatory for foreign tyres to pass some certification to sell in India, which are quite cumbersome. RE probably thought it'd be more convenient to switch to an Indian made tyre.

Shocks are real - seen them cut open. But I change them anyway.😂

I feel like more shots /camara angles of them toes would really help with engagement. But still vids dope 👌

It's crazy how much cheaper these are in the US vs here in Canada even after the conversion. Although, i bought a z900rs with 5000 miles for less than you paid for the new 650 so there's that

I have the same bike and I put the 16 tooth sprocket on the front. It drops the revs almost 1k at 65mph and I didnt notice any acceleration drop.

For a suspension upgrade, i went middle of the road with Hagon 2820 shocks and Norman Hyde progressive fork springs, both from Bella Corse. These have given a nice compliant rife and much more confident high speed handling. The shocks took about 600 miles to break in. Really good results for the money, IMO.
