wouldn't an sohc cb650 be like $1,000,000 down in upside world? Seems risky to jump such an investment

I disagree Sixthwisconsin, I’m a retoucher and I don’t see any obvious retouching evidence. Sometimes reality looks weirder than retouching, especially if you’re trying to find the fingerprint of a retoucher ;)

I think it’s more likely this guy jumps old Hondas, haha.

No argument friend. I don't think either of us can tell definitively without looking at the hi res. I have a bit of experience at this as well.

I would like to examine the poor bike!

Totally! Wonder how many spare forks he’s got!

Look at the bottom of the rear tire, it looks like  a tire sitting on the ground . Looks like it is squished just a tad from the weight of the bike.

Not only is the rider looking directly at the camara, but the people on the ground don't seem to be looking at the bike and rider. I still think it's fake.

It's definitely a CB650.  I think it's believable especially when carried off by a pro rider.  The bike may have been punished for the shot.

I think this is a real image. Bad retouching or not.
Matt is abusing the 650 pretty hard for sure. Im sure the frame is totally fooked.
I would love for him to engage here and let us know how the 650 is holding up and with pictures. No judgement... just not many people abuse these bikes like this, er, except 754...
It would be a real interesting to see the outer limits.

How is the bike holding up Matt?

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Oh wait, if he has a container with foam to land in then there’s no issue. Bike will be fine and he can do thirty jumps until he gets the shot he wants. Easy peasy
