Bikerdocs' 650TR (CF650-2) review

[bikerdoc]

Updated. Note that today had a phone conversation concerning the apparent ghost tall screens mysteriously supplied on some 650TR's ex-factory but denied by CFMoto. All previous phone calls (over the past month or so) to various people at CFMoto factory have resulted in denials that a tall screen was available let alone made.

Roll forward to today where I sent evidence off various web links outlining the tall screen option, to CFMoto parts. Got given a number to call, so telephoned, where the male call taker initially denied any knowledge of a tall screen for the 650TR. Bit of banter back and forth, with referral to various sources including Buck and Amy on the "great ride of Ch!na" then things changed. Admission that there was indeed a tall screen. That export models of the 650TR had different quality components than those for the domestic PRC market (such a warm fuzzy reassuring feeling - not!).
The bike that CFMoto provided Buck and Amy is an export model, hence the tall screen option. The CFMoto rep, stated that this is a typical situation here in PRC where nearly all manufacturers provide products to a preconceived price point using lesser quality components etc. The rep while empathetic was apathetic, it is what it is.

Anyway, a tall screen option will be available after October, along with several other hardware modifications connected to the screen.
