Lad that reserve fuel gauge flash had my anxiety going mental XD That being said. New rider passed test in Oct '22 Got the CBR650R '23 In March I'm 37 Insurance I got for about 850 via Hastings Bike is on PCP (sports pack but otherwise completely stock parts) with a 2000 deposit Monthly is £117 Fuel is maybe £40 a month Tax is as you say in the vid. Recent 600 mile service at the dealer was 144 but I added a tracker which was 99 instal and 109 for a years subscription. I think that's basically it for anyone interested. Happy to answer anything others are curious about. Keep up the good work and vids my guy!
Yeah, I filmed that over 3 days 🤣 so i went from empty tank to full, back to half lol. Thanks for sharing your figures that is super helpful!! Thanks for watching as always 😁.
Just on the insurance topic, wanna hear something kinda effed up? My CBR500R cost MORE to insure than my CBR650R, by a noticeable difference of about $120 Canadian per year. Only thing my agent could think of for a reason was that the 500 is classified as a beginner bike, so they have more claims from people dropping/crashing them. The 650 is classified as a Sport/Touring bike and she mentioned that was also a reason. I laughed, told her "in theory" the 500 tops out at 186km/h and the 650 hits over 110km/h in FIRST, again in theory......
Finally had a test ride on Saturday on the CBR650R, loved it but noted two things: shifting down on the quickshifter didn't feel great, sometimes it was instant other times it felt like the ECU was waiting for a window to make the shift, you have to hold it until the bike is ready. The second one was that the bike felt gutless after 60mph for a 4 cyl. Everything else about the bike felt amazing.
@@WorgiiVEVO I did a test ride on new CBR650R at the local Honda dealership and the sales guy said it was fitted with a quickshifter up and down, I know the older models had up only - perhaps up and down is new for 2023? or perhaps the sales guy is an idiot and this is why I thought downshifts were rubbish lol - The MT-09 SP down blipper was a work of art approaching a roundabout!
Shame about the quickshifter, mine does not have one so I can't comment. As for the power/speed, i'm surprised it felt gutless after 60.....that seems so early. It 100% does have a week midrange you are right. From 80-95mph the power is non-existent 🤣, but 100+ it kicks back in!! Good job going for the test ride, anyone can say whatever, but at least now you know 🙂.
Hi thanks for the review im due to do my direct access in August. and like you iv been pondering and I keep getting drawn back to the bike you have (love the colour) Honda CBR650R :) Question What do you think of the Honda CBR650 F ? thanks keep riding be safe :)
I replied on another video but just incase you miss it I'll say it again. They are the same bike, but the 650f is a slightly older design. Most if not all I say about this bike applies to that one aswell. The differences are minor. If you find a great deal on a cbr650f I would say go for it! All the best on your Direct Access and thanks for watching 😁.
Yeah same down here in essex now. I think my average price was for the UK instead of just England, i think some of the lower fuel prices in Scotland brought the figure down 🤣.
Regular and thorough maintenance works out cheaper than repair work. But yeah it still does cost a bit 😅. Any thing bigger than a 125cc is gonna be a bit pricey to maintain lol.
@@tvtwistasmoto yeah mate, I've got some scratches from washing it, can't fix the scratches either because of matte black paint, asked how much for a new panel and that's what I was told 😂

That is very interesting! I would never have guessed.

@@tvtwistasmoto Yea, I still think it is an awesome bike!
Can confirm the quick shift is only up but it's great for taking off on the 23 version
Amazing! but with your Awesome Side Mirrors gone...kinda make the front of the Bike look...weird...don't get me wrong still an awesome Bike though.
I know what you mean, and I am gonna get new mirrors.........but, i'll admit....the no mirror look is growing on me 😅.
Fantastic information 👌🏽👌🏽
Thank you 😁

Thanks for de video
No prob, thanks for watching!
Great video ! But I'm getting it !!!! Leave me alone 😅
🤣🤣 thank's....ok no more pressure lol.
thank you
Bruh the cost of maintenance is costing as much as the bike itself 😢
Regular and thorough maintenance works out cheaper than repair work. But yeah it still does cost a bit 😅. Any thing bigger than a 125cc is gonna be a bit pricey to maintain lol.
@@tvtwistasmoto Yes however honda is known for its reliability and cheap maintenance. Though I am a bit surprised about the cost mentioned over here
Is yours full comp or third party only insurance?
Full comp
a main fairing from Honda costs £530 plus 30 minutes labour, very steep!
530!! Jheez!!! Well ok then, I missed that 😅. No dropping the bikes boys!!!
@@tvtwistasmoto yeah mate, I've got some scratches from washing it, can't fix the scratches either because of matte black paint, asked how much for a new panel and that's what I was told 😂
@@brandonwheatley That damn matte black paint!!!!
@@brandonwheatley im now starting to appreciate choosing red 😂😂
Now you make this damn video after i ask you the difference between the 500 and the 650, And you now tell me after i own the expensive thing! 😂
Sorry 😅. Look on the bright side.......you have an awesome bike 😁.
@@tvtwistasmoto Yep, i've won.. but at what cost.. 😂😂
Not as much as a Ducati 😂
And I'm very happy about that 🤣.
Very expensive road tax for a motorbike 😬
Yeah 😢.
Doch
Really? 🤣
@@tvtwistasmoto yes 😎
