Guys! Thanks for the constructive criticism in the comments. I am aware that I was riding over my own abilities here which was somewhat irresponsible at the time. Since the road was somewhat empty and I know it pretty well I still decided to try what the bike is capable of and ever since I have a whole new level of respect for it and ride according to my abilities.
Hi, I found your channel when I was looking for cb650r, but fell in love with this fairy tale scenery. Wow, its like god crafted this place from his own hands. I am amazed.
Greetings from the UK. Where we can only wish for roads like this. Where a government actually spends funds keeping the highways clear. I didn't see you do anything dangerous there, just a guy enjoying his ride. Those who will say otherwise either are jealous and or can't ride. As anyone who can knows on a bike you can slow down super quick just on engine braking alone. I look forward to the video where you learn rev matching on downshifts :)
Yeah the engine braking is really strong on bikes. If you let go of the throttle soon enough there is barely a need to press the brake. Have to admit tho that I was going way too fast for my current skill but it's just so fun :) Revmatching is something im learning right now. UK has some great country roads tho as far as I know especially more to the north and Scotland :)
Nice bike bro. I highly recommend doing some defensive rider training and when you get a bit more confident, do a track day with instructors. You will learn a lot by going to a track. You don't have to go super fast straight away. Start slow and lap after lap you will get more confident, better at braking, learn how the bike feels and what the tyres can do (when hot) etc. Worth it.
Nice bike. As a fresh biker myself (passed exam 3 weeks ago, put around 1k km so far) I wish you a safe rides! My driving instructor would kill me for such shifting though - try to learn rev matching when downshifting in safe conditions. I would also try to go without quickshifter as a beginner to get familiar with the clutch and gearbox as much as possible
I ride a 2024 CB650R with a stock exhaust and it sounds just like this...awesome, some of the noise the rider experiences is the induction noise too. I note some of the comments...the in line 4 is designed to rev so rev the balls off it and when it comes to downshifts try to rev match, if not the slipper clutch will help to a degree. All in all a great sounding bike (certainly for the rider), this thing won't rip your arms off until you start heading above 7000 rpm so blast it.
Yes the engine loves when you rev it out. But I do agree with the commenters that I was going too fast for my experience level. Working on my rev matching skills tho :)

@@MotoMacek just blip the throttle and at the same time release the clutch but smoother, you are to harsh or abrubt with the controls. Also, ride safe.
nice video m8, enjoyed watching it, got the same bike a week ago and my license since 3 days xD Put 450km on it and I fucking love it. It's just a nice beginners bike. I think the power is perfect, it's pretty fast but not overwhelming.
this bike is not begginers bike, it's very capable, and it can be overwhelming for a new rider. p.s. I got the same one except in green color, 300km on the clock after one weekend.
@@saavaa I think it's a great beginner bike, sure it's capable but that doesn't make it a bad beginner bike. In my country the driving acedemies have to provide a bike with at least 90hp by law, so you get used to it right away when you're doing your license. It feels very controllable with the linear power output. Enjoy your bike m8, drive safe.
Got myself the same bike. Did you install the sw-motech bars yourself? Also very interested in your recording setup and would like something similar. Would appreciate if you shared some info. Thanks.
Didn't install the bars myself. The dealer put them on for me :) About the recording setup.. shoot me a DM on instagram @motomacek glad to explain it there
Loads of fun. I second the comment about the UK roads. They are terrible. I love when I go to Lithuania such nice roads. Very similar to these you are riding. Where are you from?
First of all, I enjoy your videos very much, I am sending you a comment from Turkey. Can you tell me the differences of the 2024 Model from other models? I'm also thinking of buying the CB650R, but I think I should learn its features and wait for the 2024 model. Thank you.
Thanks! Difference is just on the looks! New headlight, rearlight, side intake and TFT display. Engine is also almost the same but its a EURO 5+ instead of EURO 5, so its has less emissions. I also think its a bit quieter.
@@MotoMacek It looks great, I love it.I enjoy watching you continue your success and enjoy yourself like this. I hope you will be more successfull, with my respect and love.
Well done mate for getting out there and as we all know that’s the only way we get better. I bought the 2023 black edition and loving it they are a beautiful bike. Nice video 👍
Got to agree with the other commenter. I was worried sick for you watching this. Hanging onto high revs for ever with very notchy downshifts. Just didn’t feel safe. Go steady coz life is too short to start with.
I understand, shifting is something I'm still struggling with. Really did drive over my own capabilities here and was somewhat lucky. It's good you guys post your opinions here, makes me more aware of the situation I was in. Thank you
How are they "notchy" downshifts? That's literally the engine braking kicking in as he comes off the throttle to change gear. Sure he can learn to rev match and match the engine speed to the gear change. But idk something tells me you can't ride a bike. Hanging onto high revs? That's literally where the powerband is
@@MotoMacek You wasn't luck at all. Perfectly in control of the bike at all times. Downshifts get easier if you rev match but don't beat yourself up trying to learn them if you don't feel confident yet. Many people still lurch the engine forward on downshifts its no biggie and it becomes easier with time. Keep doing what you are doing man.
13:36 you are not Schaaf. please dont ride like this (redlining, not reducing speed near a corner, blind spot approaching and there was actually traffic). Very dangerous speed at your skill level.
no offence, but seeing how you shift, you shouldn't be going that fast. You're clearly a beginner, as stated. She might be capable of more than you can handle. Just my 2 cents.
nice bike, ride safe, downshift is very sketchy gotta practice more to make it smooth. 13:34 clearly is way too fast for that. The reason you don't use four fingers to brake in the front is when emergency happens four finger apply way too much pressure
If it were indeed "too fast" the rear could lock up there is no indication of that happening it wasn't too fast at all. You can also brake with as many fingers as you want if you know how to gradually brake. Stop learning everything you think you know from RUclips university.
I went pretty fast in this video but I normally don't drive like this. It was slightly too fast for my skill level. But I am trying to ride as much as possible when the weather allows it. Thank you for the comment! :)

This video has just convinced me to get my order in. Beautiful ride out, man. Lovely roads, too.
So happy for you man! You will have so much fun with it !! :D

Any reason why you chose the stock bike instead of the one with the E clutch???
Nice scenery where did you ride?
Stock exhaust?
Sounds good.

Great video quality ⭐
Do you have external audio recorder ? Because wind noise level is very low
Yes I am using an audio external audio recorder :) Feel free to shoot me a DM on Instagram @motomacek Glad to explain you the audio process there!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
When breaking you should use two fingers not four, its safer and better
Noted :)
What is the performance at 100km?
Sorry I dont understand the question completely. What do you mean exactly?
3:54 if you fiddled with your helmet for 2 seconds more you would have had time to react to that car braking. damn.
Looks like it yeah haha
Stock exhaust?
Yes
@@MotoMacek It sound very good
where are you from bro?
Slovenia :)
@@MotoMacek such a great video i forgot to say 😅, and a wonderful country too 😍
@@elyasoliman3749 Thank you! :)
Limited???????
No. I just never gave it full throttle for more than a split second
13:36 you are not Schaaf. please dont ride like this (redlining, not reducing speed near a corner, blind spot approaching and there was actually traffic). Very dangerous speed at your skill level.
Yes thank you for the feedback :) I keep my riding now in my skill level. Already did 10.000km this year :)
@@MotoMacek are you gonna do a long term review of the cb650r?
@@TheBlackSheepBoy Yes it's coming up! Think im gonna even record my voice for that one :D
@@MotoMacek looking forward to your impression on it. i'm one of those struggling to pick between the usual rivals, sv650 and mt-07
@@TheBlackSheepBoy I was in the same position trying to pick the bike. Went for the CB650 because of 4cylinders and build quality.
no offence, but seeing how you shift, you shouldn't be going that fast. You're clearly a beginner, as stated. She might be capable of more than you can handle.
Just my 2 cents.
Yeah you are right. Got somewhat scared after this one and kept it much easier next few rides :)
@@MotoMacek see? Take it easy, don't rev it so much and you'll go faster without even trying, in time.
Stay safe!
Thanks for the input :)
