What do you all think of the new audio and video quality?
Both audio and video are perfect!
Hallo AkaiCBR,
und wieder mal ein tolles Video von dir. Audio und Video sind top. Mir gefällt vor allem der hohe Kontrast bzw. Effekt bei diesem Video. Wie hast du das gemacht? Danke im Voraus!
@@Bern284 Danke erstmal! Das ganze ist ein LUT mit HDR in Davinci, nennt sich Blackmagic 4k Film to video. Sorgt aber für ordentlich große Dateien
bro... very nice and very clear, and the sound perfect
Was mine too. Have 60k on it now. I did get it unrestricted after 1k
Next week I receive my cbr650 in black colour. It's gonna be my first bike!
Nice , i want one
Starting on 650cc is a bit aggressive, but if you start on one, CB650R is probably the best one to do it on, as the full HP output is locked up-top. And if you take it easy as a beginner and mostly deal with 40-50hp under 6000rpm, then as you build confidence, you can start tapping into full power in higher rpms.
@@plotonapolonich5513 I m gonna be careful I promise 🤞I did my driving license on a CB750 HORNET and I could handle it pretty well. Well I think I have to keep driving as if my instructor is driving behind me...at least until I get comfortable 😋
Please be careful. Trust, there is no worse feeling then getting hurt riding or especially scratching your brand new baby
@@LSB44446 thanks for your kind words! I m gonna be careful!
I have the 2023 model and love it. Everything you say here is accurate. This bike is about as “beginner friendly” as a 95+ horsepower bike can be - it isn’t going to “jump off the line” at an intersection due to the low torque numbers at the bottom. But mine is unrestricted and it will fly for a street bike (not a supersport but will hit 150 mph) so it’s great at highway speeds. This puts it in the unique position as serving as a “long term” bike if you’re a daily rider like me as well as being okay to start IF YOU’RE MATURE in your decisions as a rider.
Yep, the restricted and unrestricted versions are both very comfortable and low risk - just to clarify, mine is unrestricted. Thank you for your comment 🙏
Yes most definitely, best confidence booster and path to a bigger bike later. I just purchased one with E Clutch have to say I love it, been on bikes 40 years plus, it’s lots of fun, admittedly makes me lazy as not using the clutch, I do pull it by accident once in a while but got out the habit quickly. I nearly kill myself when I go on my other bike within the first few seconds but get back into it quickly feathering etc lol.
I would advise new riders don’t go too big, you’ll be scared off and it won’t be enjoyable, some can adapt no problem but this is where accidents start happen. They extort new riders on bigger bikes, go for the 650, build up the discounts, it’s worth it.
Get more road craft with a more management bike first, it’s worth it in the long run and when ready go up to a litre plus if so. Sad thing is now, there are strict speed limits, cameras, idiotic and more dangerous drivers on the roads now.
Stay safe, and enjoy the CBR650 if you get one with or without E Clutch.
Good comment
You are telling viewer what my dad told me when I started riding when I was 16. Wish more people shared this info. With the new tech in tires you can lean even more. Great content, keep it up! Greetings from The Netherlands!
Thank you! Really appreciate it :)
Just subscribed, you’re on your way up in the motorcycle content world, my friend!
I’ve ordered a 2023 CBR650R in black, but won’t get it until end-July/Aug because of a few reasons. I watch videos like yours a lot because it’s almost like living it out on one for now 😂
Thanks for your kind words 💯 I’m excited for you, not that long left and you’ll have a smile on your face every day 😁
Great advice man! i agree with everything you said. Saving up for a cbr650r, been on my 125 for some time now.
Thank you! You'll get there in no time :)
Great video man! Drive safe and enjoy your marvellous bike...greetings from sunny Greece🙂
Thank you 🙏
My first bike was a zzr600 from 1996. Best bike I've ever had. Gonna look into the cbr650 for commuting
Nice informative video for beginners who want to step up to a higher CC . 😄, Keep the videos coming bro.
Thank you brother 🙏
..another excellent video! Especially describing why you don't really need a middleweight or Liter Super Sport, unless to use on the track. (everyone knows that's more of an ego thing now)! But to be a safer rider on public roads..a CBR 650r, Ninja 650r, Daytona 660, Aprilia 660, CBR 500, GSX 8r.. is all anyone needs !!!
I agree most people ride liters cause of ego 😂
The CBR650R is the perfect all-rounder: ample power, fuel-efficient, sporty but not overly so. It has everything you will ever need. I had one last year and I loved it. Unfortunately, I sold the bike a couple of months ago because I thought I needed an upgrade. So I bought the S1000RR. I love this bike as well, but if I'm honest, it's a little bit too much. The CBR650R is just the sweet spot. I miss it a lot. I'm considering trading again. :D
I agree with you! But still - enjoy your S1KRR, cool bike as well.
Just passed the first part of the A2 license (I don't have any other license, even B), now it's time for the traffic exam. This is my dreams moto, I've been watching videos, looking for information, pricing, people thoughts, and finally it seems that I'll be able to put my hands on it. Thanks for videos like yours, it makes me keep the desire of owning this beast/princess. Good content dude, new sub.
Thank you so much bro! If you need to know anything hmu on insta
Nice video, keep uploading!!
Thank you! Much love 🙏🏻
I switched XSR 125 to XSR 900, without a problem 🤪. But I see your point, I had a lot of respect to it.
You had a lot of experience with torque so you were fine! But you weren’t a beginner :P
Great video from Calgary Alberta
Thank you for watching 🙏
Honda did something special with this bike. Test rode one and I really like it.
Agreed!
The CBR650R is technically everything that you need. The bike has plenty of power and it can get you in trouble if you don’t show respect. I have a CBR1000RR now and I miss the 650 . Why? Because it is comfortable and is a perfect sport touring bike
Nice bike
You’re absolutely right!
I have 650 and looking to upgrade to cbr1000. What are your thoughs? Is it worth to upgrade?
@@paul-ku honestly.. if you don’t visit track don’t do it
I really like the bike in the white and black paint skin
Könntest du ein Video drehen wie dein motovlog setup aussieht und wie du die kamera an denn Helm montiert hast. Sehr gutes video btw
Wird gemacht!
Top Video, welches WIndshield hast du vorne dran? Das getönte und höhere von Honda, oder ein anderes?
Danke, das ist das OEM von Honda!
I'm currently trying to get an apointment for driving school and, i really wanna do the A2, i've looked into many Bikes b4 like the suzuki GSX or the Kawasaki Ninja, but honestly the one that is speaking to me the most is the CBR650, i really hope i can do my A2 soon.
From where did you buy the winglets ?
Looks good
Hopefully eclutch can be applied on 150-400cc soon
Perfect video! I have been riding on a KTM Duke 125cc for nearly 3 years now I got my license and this bike catches my eye. How does the bike fair the city?
I’ll really enjoying commuting on the bike!
Nice video. First you do a good defensive driving. Then you give good explanation about the bike and the riding.
Du hattest recht.. der SC Project Auspuff den ich mir dazu gekauft habe wird erst Mitte des Jahres nachgerüstet wenn alle Richtlinien überprüft wurden. Hatte ja eigentlich gehofft dass ich sie gleich mit verbautem Auspuff abholen kann aber naja.. wie siehts bei dir aus ? Wann kommt bei dir mal ein Sportlicher Auspuff ran ? 😁
Ich bin bereits mit allen Firmen im Austausch. Vor Sommer kommt nix raus. Sobald die raus sind kommt sofort eine ran
Both very good
Looking at this bike for my first bike taking my test in 4 weeks!
Definitely has everything you need for a first bike!
I just got the same bike as you and I’m loving it , I have a question since you mentioned you are going to do your first service can I ask how many km you’ve done until you need to make the first service ? Thank you really appreciate your videos
Gratz on the bike!
Honda says you need at least 800km and at most 1500km. I was at 1180 when I dropped it off.
Thank you so much , I must speak with my dealer then , hope I see you on the road one day ripping that beauty , we live very close to each other ☺️☺️
@@josemartins5706 Sure feel free to say hello if you do see me :D
When did you order yours?
I ordered mine i end of October 2023. and still has not arrived jet...
Can't wait go get my hands on it...😊
Stay safe, and practise counter steering (if wheight of your bike is an issue)
I purchased mine on march 2nd, got it in march 11th. (No e clutch)
Any plan to install a smaller front sprocket? I'm thinking about getting this bike but in the naked version.
Not that easy to change things like that in Germany at all, most likely not gonna happen 🙂↕️
i like your cbr bro... 😮 ❤
Im 40 yo, located in South East Asia, where traffic is crazy, literally crazy tbh. I rode a few low-cc bikes (125-150) since I knew how to ride (around 16yo), then I jumped straight to 1000cc in 2015 with a 2011 Z1000, yep, crazy I know.
Sold it to a friend due to not having time to ride, I mean, short/med trips (~2/300 kms). Riding high cc nakeds and super sport in city is torturing. It fries your balls in summer, red light stops (jk), left hand was like numbing after an hour of traffic jam, balls hurt too (jk). So I decided to just quit riding high cc bike at 2016. Im still using a 150cc scooter for daily commuting.
Then back in 2019, a got gifted a Ducati Monster 693 from a friend, who doesn't ride, he quits too but hoped that I could take care of his Monster. I gladly accepted the gift, very nice sounding LTwins with Akapovich, but my nuts told me NO (lol). It's just too hot to endure more than 1 hour of riding, its air-cooled btw. I couldnt even bear to ride it in summer where its constantly on 38-40,C outside, so after a year or two the Ducati is now sit in my garrage, dead battery, and rotten chain.
I have no idea why suddenly a new 2024 cbr650r ad got my attention for the e-clutch. Im now very interested in gettin one. I searched around yt, found your vid and others, but no one mentioned how hot/comfortable the engine is under your seat after a medium trip.
I can tell you, the bike is very comfortable and doesn't get hot at all, I never feel it on my body.
The CBR isn't a begginer bike in my opinion. But an awesome bike. Its like a VW Golf GTi. Good for traveling, comuting, confortable, reliable, not to much expensive, and sporty enough. Not a race track bike, but if you race it, it won't be embarasing.
literaly what i did started on this bike (A3 license), 2023 model and used to ride a 125cc scooter. Gotta say its a really good starter bike but tbh i kinda regret buying it, i think there are a lot of other good option as starter bike for A3 license. But if you only have acces to A2 license this is the bike for you, its awesome, comfortable and can be derestricted when you get A3 license and still have a really good bike on your hands
Yeah it’s a really good bike all around
@@AkaiCBR i also kinda regret not waiting few months, i bought it in september, if i waited a bit i could have got 2024 version with tft display and the way better tail, sadge
@@Luca-re3ve nah don’t regret it, you have a great bike still, the wings you can get for it are so cool
@@AkaiCBR yeah thats true, it has been in the market for such a long time that u have acces to all kind of mods. But still 2024 version is so dam hot imo
Gonna use it to ride fast my boy! 😂
How fast though
How are the ergonomics on that bike are you really leaning forward like a super sport or is it more of an upright position?
Do you wish you had opted for the E clutch???
Kind of a no-brainer when they're only charging $100 quid for it.
The eclutch is now here and it’s really not necessary, both eclutch and QS are janky at low speeds. The seating position is a middle ground between super sport and naked
Anybody know when this bike is coming to the 🇺🇸 ? Really would love to get this new 2024 refresh here in the states
No idea
It’s not
Is it comfortable position or its like the other naked bike from kawasaki such as z1000 i drove one my back hurts and its not comfortable is this like a normal bike position or i must lay my back and my hands too far from handle like sport bikes. ?
It’s between naked and sports bike! In my opinion it’s still comfortable
@@AkaiCBR thank you bro enjoy ur E clutch new tech 👌🏻
I'd say beginner bike for the heavier set rider or for the rider that has a lot of experience with dirt bike
Bro, why you didn't get the e-clutch version?
I had multiple reasons, don’t need it, didn’t wanna wait, no availability etc
sick jacket! where you get it?
The akatsuki jacket? It’s amazing. From a store chain called Elbenwald in Germany
Upgrading from a Yamaha R15 would be good upgrade too right??
The CBR is always a good upgrade because it’s an incredibly well built all round bike!
was hast du dir an extras reingepackt, und weißt du ob es schon zubehör gibt wie hebel oder auspuffanlage? LG Kriege meine wenn alles klappt bald
Ich bekomme heute mein Bike mit neuem Quickshifter zurück, habe die OEM schwarze, höhere Windscheibe, Hebel werden auch rangebaut, seitliche Tankpads hab ich neue bekommen und ich plane noch Winglets anzubauen. Zusätzlich hab ich mir die Soziusabdeckung gegönnt (sieht mega aus).
Auspuffanlagen gibt es derzeit keine, bin schon im Austausch mit den Herstellern, vor Sommer wird das leider nix.
@@AkaiCBR Danke für die Antwort, aber Hebel mit ABE für das Modell gibt es schon? wenn je welche? Mit Tankpads meinst du die aufkleber oder? Und Winglets sind erlaubt eintragungsfrei, eher nicht oder weils ja ne änderung an der karroserie ist? Quickshifter und scheibe ist ein muss auch für mich :)
@@hiKidz011 Hebel werden von Raximo sein, die sind Modellunabhängig und passen auf alles - lass ich auch direkt vom Händler machen, sehr gute Qualität. Genau, Tankpads (seitlich) sind die Aufkleber, ich würde die von Honda vermeiden (ich hab die transparenten originalen, leider sieht man dort jeden Fehler).
Winglets sind aktuell noch umstritten. Es wird empfohlen die eintragen zu lassen. Werd ich aber denke ich nicht machen bis ich das erste Bußgeld kriege 😂
@@AkaiCBR Verstehe, ich werde so ähnlich vorgehen hahaha, welche Tankpads schweben dir da vor? Habe da mal was auf aliexpress gesehen xD Raximo sind ziemlich geil und auch hochwertig wusste nicht, dass die ABE für alles gilt.
@@hiKidz011 Ich hab meine neuen Tankpads von Aliexpress lol, die klassischen Grau,Schwarzen mit dem 650R logo :D, haben 10€ gekostet, gestern ausgepackt und sehen super aus.
is it in canada or the us i cant find anything ?>????
Seems like at the moment US and Canada don't get this version :/
so I also love cbr650r but why didnt you get the cbr600rr instead just wondering
It's mainly a track bike and I don't like the design that much!
I plan on getting this bike or a Kawasaki Z650. Been riding an Nmax everyday for the last 6 months. Which do you think is best? I like the Honda more so far.
Both great bikes and very different. Really comes down to your personal riding style preference. If you like a more sporty look and feel, go for the CBR. If comfort and power is your preference, go for the Z650!
@@AkaiCBR I will be doing a lot of city riding with traffic, so it seems a more upright riding is better yeah?
@@theonewhorules I ride my CBR to work every day. No issues - especially with e clutch you will love commuting
@@AkaiCBR I didn't know there was e clutch, that's awesome. The Z650 Kawasaki doesn't unfortunately.
Nice, but I think I like the Aprilia RS660 more in this class.
The Aprilia rs660 is also a very sick bike. Super futuristic
😢this is a more budget friendly competitor.
What is the difference between the CBR500R and the CBR650R regarding performance of the A2 version?
Sadly I can't really give a factual answer without doing my research first, as I have not ridden a 500r :/
@@AkaiCBR no problem :)
Do you have the ethrottle, what do you think of it?
If you meant E-Clutch, I don't have the E-Clutch Version!
@@AkaiCBR that's what I meant haha
Hi akai, can u tell us how tall are u ?
I’m about 1.87, or 6‘1
✌🏍🐺
Bro please get a Exaust ❤
None out yet
Is Lane splitting legal in Germany?
its illegal
but nobody really cares, not even most of the opps. you should be fine
It’s not being prosecuted, literally everyone does it and this is a very popular commuting route where everyone scooted over
It's good to know because I live in Germany too 😋 maybe one day we can drive together, there are some beautiful routes here in Schwarzwald!!!
Aprilia RS660 or CBR650R ?
haven’t been on the Aprilia , but I’d choose Honda
Its disheartening that this bike is not going to launch in India😟😟
Sehr gutes Englisch!!! 😊
Danke 🙏 :))
When people stop to mention "beginners bike"
hab es auch neu gekauft super bike aber schon ein fetten kratzer XD
Was hast du angestellt 😂
Zu schnell in die kurve leiblanke angekommen 😂
MT07 is slow man 650r has sauce
Doesn't matter, can't get one in America anyway, piss off Honda.
Very unfortunate 😭
Show the bike, all ride no images of the bike is boring
Thanks for your feedback
it should defently not be a beginner bike..
