CF Moto TR650 - Middleweight Tourer

Mark Chuidian with a matching Spyder lid, the Xcelerate

As part of the deal with CF Moto, they have provided Spyder Philippines a TR650 bike.  It's now a hand-me-down coming in from Spyder's Marketing Manager Mark Chuidian.  Now, I'm in charge of this bulky machine.

China-made, Ironman Finisher

Just a little over half a decade ago, motorcycle editors have been predicting that the China stigma would be gone in about a decade's time.  And we're halfway through, but CF Moto, I can safely say, is one who has taken the lead in producing quality motorcycles.  The TR650 is no cheap bike!

As an ultimate test, the TR650 I am using now is a BOSS Ironman Finisher, ridden by Mark himself.  Yes, it endured the 1,200 kilometers of road through the northern loop.   

The TR650's naked counterpart, a duo of NK650's are also finishers of a more protracted endurance, the 1600 kilometer Spyder Wheeltek Motorally powered by Petron.  

As of this writing, the bike registered 14k on the odo, and it's still in ok condition.  I will update this post as soon as I tear some roads with the TR650.

The profile is just sexy. 

The side box are not detachable.  

Digital Instrumentation panel with analog speedometer and tachmoter.

The windshield is ok, but I can imagine the TR650 with a taller touring windschield.  Perfect for long-distance riding

The rear grab has three perfectly placed threaded hole that will fit most topbox baseplate.
