Bridgestone S22 Review on a Honda CB650R | FEELS LIKE A DIFFERENT BIKE

- Having ridden the lovely 2020 Honda CB650R for just over half a year, there are some things I wished it does better which is not entirely due to the bike itself. It came with Metzeler Roadtec 01 as stock tires which I do not agree for it to be fitting for this bike. Having only 2,800km on the clock, I decided to replace the stock tires to a more familiar hypersports tires being the Bridgestone Battlax S22 Hypersport.
This video covers my review of the S22 which I had covered roughly 500km under various conditions. Enjoy!

Hey man, just bought a cb650r here in Switzerland. Same colour as you have. Really appreciate thr videos! Especially the tipps and tricks! Make a video with the titel "tipps and Tricks" u will see alot of people will like that! Keep it up man, greetings from Switzerland
Hey buddy. Congrats on your purchase no problem I really want the videos to be somewhat helpful to the community. Thanks for the suggestion I should add that into the title haha. Am in the middle of editing another video relating to the CB but can’t find the time to finish it, hope I can publish it soon.
Hey mate I’m really enjoying your videos I’m glad o found your channel 👍
Thanks man!! Your comment really made my day!! Enjoy!
Great review mate. Do you have an update of how they have lasted?
Due to their high price, you must be mandatorily satisfied with this kind of tyres.
Of course, the driving sensations will be very different from those you have with the genuine tyres.
Personnally, I still have the standard pair of Metzeler Roadtec01 on my CB and after 8,500 km they are not totally worn.
I drive normally, the roads in my country are very curvy and in a rather medium condition.
There are no highways and almost everywhere, the speed limit is generally of 80 or 90 kmh (50/55 mph).
I will probably put afterwards a pair of Michelin Pilot Power 1 or Continental Motion, they are cheap and efficient tyres for riding secure in almost all conditions, and for a rather long mileage.
The basis of the Honda CB650R is already very good (fork and rear suspension, and the overall weight is not too high), so if you put a high-quality tyres it will be obviously improved.
But it depends on how you use your bike, since most of us do not ride everyday in a racing mode, especially when road condition and traffic do not allow it.
Just picked up a set of these s22 for my 2020 z900abs ... the stock Dunlop’s back tire only lasted 5,500 miles which isn’t so bad , but I should of replaced it sooner , cause the back tire blew out on the freeway going almost 70 or 80 mph , I think they were too thin in the middle and might of pinched a 1/8 inch (maybe a bit more) hole that was too big of a hole to patch up without it leaking air , but lesson learned the hard way Could of been much worse of coarse , but replace your stock tires ASAP when you start to see a bunch of wear on them , going to enjoy these new s22 if they are anything like they say they are ..? Safe riding y’all , and thx for sharing your knowledge on this RUclips platform 💯❤️👌🏼🌊💪🙌🏼😉👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Wow scary man! Hope nothing happened to you when your tire blew out. How's the S22? One of my good friend is on a z900 as well and I remember he complained that the stock Dunlops are not very good, got them changed (cant remember to what).
@@RUBBERNMETAL yes, I’m alright and thx for asking , just scared the 💩 out of myself when I lost control , but was able to gain it back enough to pull off to the side of the freeway , got the new back s22 tire on , just waiting for my new front paddock stand to come in , so I can get the front tire replaced as well , but it should be buttoned up in a couple days , anyway thx again stay safe out there brahs 💯💯💯👍🏼🌊🤯💪🙌🏼❗️
Hi i read alot positive reactions off the Metzeller m9rr. Some people say they are better then the s22. Have you considered the m9rr and what are your opinions about it?
Nice video, any updates on durability?
Thanks buddy! The tire’s durability is not bad I guess hadn’t had any issues with it. I’ve had s22 on my previous bike as well and it had no issues.
@@RUBBERNMETAL Thank you! How many Kms do you think they will last? I got some on a cbr250r and im hoping for 10K km (wishfull thinking ik)
I just installed these tires on my CB650R, and I get a little bit of wobble around 140~150km/h when I full throttle. Do you also experience that?
Other than that, these tires are fantastic. Literally feels like a whole new bike.
Definitely feels like a different bike! I don't notice a wobble around those speeds, it feels normal. Maybe you should get your tires rebalanced? It happened to me before where the weights fell off.
can you please tell me if you found any solution to this problem?I have the same problem..
@@BGDS rebalance them
@@TheF4llen77 Did it,also changed them on warranty,nothing changed...thanks.
@@BGDS steering head bearings?
Good review exactly what I think I use it on the mt09 and mt10
Can’t go wrong with it. Awesome tires!!
interested with your circuit training..
can gain and learn how to take corner
how much that course?
Circuit training is with iride clinic, my course was under RM500 since it was subsidised by my dealer and some sponsors too. Otherwise it could be pricey especially with smaller groups.
How was it in the long run?
We have the same bigbike. Im planning to change my tires and s22 is one of my choices.
Im a newbie in track, that is why i am planning to change my tires.
I cant afford pirelli’s coz it is too expensive.
I dont know if i will pick s22 or mitas sport force.
Hey buddy, I only have done 1,000km on them. So far loving it but I have to say it may not be as free rolling as a Michelin pilot road 5 (I have these on my other bike) probably because it is made of stickier compound. But it’s a small observation. So far I’m really happy with it.
@@RUBBERNMETAL what do you mean by not as free rolling?
@@JoaoMPSilva13 just a gut feeling. I feel that the s22 resists to continue rolling in comparison to the PR5. As if it’s stickier. Idk if that makes sense?
@@RUBBERNMETAL Yeah makes sense, thanks!
I have the Power 5s on my cb650r and they are amazing!
Almost got me those, how much mileage have you got on them now and how are they holding up?
@@RUBBERNMETAL 1.5k miles, mostly commuting and city riding with a llittle bit of hard riding here and there. Barely any signs of wear on the rear tire. ( the front tire, looks brand new).
@@vintagerealityvr 1.5k miles is a bit early to tell though it should last around 6-9k miles depends on how you ride.I saw a video of a local guy here saying that after 5k km or 3k miles the grip feels different. Let me know if you experience that cos I had the power 3 previously on a different bike and never had any issues.
@@RUBBERNMETAL for sure. 👍 I know these tires aren't made for longevity compared to other models, but I really am impressed by their balance of grippy performance and real world utility. These tires hit the Goldilocks zone for me - let's see how they hold up! 👍
@@RUBBERNMETAL oh btw, I did have a huge issue the first 2 days of using these tires....In the form of a 4 inch sheet metal screw 😂. That was fun
Show me the damn straight behind view of the tire man! I wanna see how wide or narrow its design is. Some tires sized for example a 180/55 actually doesnt measure that wide and instead more 170 and when fitted looks like a 160/55 instead of a 180 etc..
What camera you used for create your content?
My action camera is a Sony HDR AS300. And for other shots just an iPhone.
Finally sir..how much the price now..
Can’t remember exactly, almost RM1,100
@@RUBBERNMETAL oh ok
Reduce vibration bila guna s22?
Engine vibration still same2 bro. Tapi grip memang syok!
Do they have Michelin Road 6?
I don’t think they have that in stock yet. Will probably come in soon.
bro, what onboard dashcam have you installed on your bike?
Hi bro it’s not a dash cam it’s just a viewing screen for my action camera.
Is this bike have QS?
Mine doesn’t have, plan to get it later.
Nice bike...
Thanks man! It is! All the best getting yours soon.
