I personally choice cbr650r, the feel ride this bike another level, with inline 4 sound. Very comfort and when the power kick in it will make smile in you face.
Agreed. And while I haven't tried the RS660, what I have heard doesn't change my mind, I would also say the CBR is the most comfortable, in several ways.
@@grtbgf That is very possible. I didn't measure it or anything and it was quite a while since I tried them. I am also not the biggest person so a hard seat is possibly less important for me than for others. Comfort is subjective and everyone should try the bike they're interested in and see how it fits them. I can only say in my experience the CBR is noticeably the most comfortable one.
@@Willehable I had a CBR600F4 for years, they are great. However for a more balanced machine for power through the revs I'm looking at the Daytona 660. They all have basically the same rider triangle now anyway.
I only ever tried the CBR 650F, but i cant complain the bike is heavy and the inline 4 makes it forgiving in the lower revs , as a first bike i couldnt ask for more, it feels like a comfortable touring bike in the lower rpsms bbut if u really push it u can get some insane power at 8000+ rpms, the weight also makes it feel really stable, so for beginners the CBR is great
Twins always have great peak torque but the inline 3 torque is just too good Its super linear and you never feel bored and it never surprises you Im buying the daytona out of all tjese any day
Exactly, Twins have power down low and at peak torque. Inline 4s have power at high revs, sure they are smooth at low revs but too smooth, there is no power. Inline 3 has power everywhere, so you always have it when you need it.
Going to a year of owning rs660. There was once a oil thing were it leaked 1 drop in 3 days. They fixed it. It happens sometimes with new bikes. Since then. If you keep your oil level in check, clean and spray your chain, check your tires and just drive normal your fine.. no issues had since purchase
Compression is too high to play it safe in a parallel twin with the internals Aprilia is using. KTM has had issues also. We are watching the de-evelution of performance motors thanks to all the R&D going into electronic tech packages. They realized in the 70's what types of platforms would work and they perfected them to the point where they're too expensive to produce at a practical price point. So here we go with the parts-bin specials. Let's take naked standard bike motors and slap them into a race chasis. It's a sad time for middleweight sportsbikes.
Nice comparison! Keeping in mind, many road riders don't race other bikes on the roads most of the time, so the HP comparisons are great though more focused for track riding.
You should do one with these 5 bikes but with their naked counter parts mt07/trident/tuono660/cb650f. And then maybe add in the z650, and maybe even the 790 duke if you consider it to be within this bike class. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
I have a CBR650R and it is awesome. The inline 4 sound makes me smile and it just does not compare to a twin that sounds like a tractor by comparison. Add in total reliability of Honda and it rocks. My old Ninja had all kinds of issues every time I rode it. I have had nothing go wrong with my Honda.
@@BLUE-dq2sp It can be. I started on a 300. It had been decades since I had ridden at all and it was like starting over. I’m glad I did that before I moved up to the 650. However, if you take your time and realize that there is serious power at the top end it’s at the “outer edge” of “beginner friendly”. The advantage it has for a first bike is that it doesn’t have a lot of low torque (the real power is after it’s wound out) so it doesn’t “jump off the line” at intersections. It’s a little heavy (about 460 pounds wet) so be careful not to let it start tipping - it can be surprisingly difficult to keep upright if that happens (or I might just be old and weak😜). Also, financially there is definitely something to be said for buying a bike that will be good for a long time - not just as a beginner. Long story short (or long) you wouldn’t be crazy to consider it.
I HAVE A RS660 EXTREMA, IM STRUGGLING TO LOVE IT. I've always only had 600s and I feel like this is the slowest bike I've owned. I'm afraid that I'm being dramatic but the bike gas tons of flat spots where u can open full throttle and it doesn't respond.
I agree 😅 especially below 5k rpm but I believe the best option is to go for a ECU flash to having it run smoother, more efficiently and the lacking in the throttle could be fixed. It’s just another bill to pay yet again I’m not willing to spend any more money tbh 💰
You are eighter using road mode (change it dynamic which is more responsive or use individual and set Engine Map (AEM) to 1 which is insanely responsive) or you need an imu update. There is a problem in imu updates for some bikes. Service updates to the new imu for free.

Great choice bro 12:00 compression ratio and healty engine (rs660 13:5 is too risky) all that power and not that heavy as honda and have a nice 3 cylinder sounds good to me 🎉
Why add the Aprilla in this vs the Ninja 650 ? The Aprilla is not even in the same cost category when it should be with a completely different group of bikes.

Rs660 shouldnt be in this list. The rest of the bikes are a2 compatible The key figure is 95bhp. Thats the maximum size allowed to be legally restricted. Triumph, honda can easily crank up the bhp figure to reach this number.

Seeing these beautiful SUPERBIKES...i felt INNER happiness i don't know why... even i knew that I won't be able to efforts such expensive and NEVER able to own one....😢😢😢
DAYTONA 660 for sure, came out second top on every topic, and its the cheapest. Not to forget that it won't cause you pain after a 20 min ride, because its riding position is comfortable.
About the weight. If you ad quickshifter to the Daytona its maybe 2-3 kilo extra and also if you want a fancier color in red is extra money. The black is ugly and the white looks plastic so its only red left to consider and more money. The Daytona looks nice though. The Suzuki comes with qs as standard which means the weight is already included for the qs. Honda is a beautiful looking bike with that inline 4 but their prices in sweden is insane for the new model. If i go for that bike i rather go for the 2023 model more value for money. I like the Suzuki the most because im tall and the bike is rather roomy. Also like the torque. Dont like the front though its kind of ugly but still the best bike for my needs. Its hard to choose but i will never (at least for couple of years) buy the Aprilia. Dont trust that brand and all the issues which effects the resalevalue and all other problems. But if anyone like that bike then go for the tuono its more bang for your bucks.
Thankyou for this review, after watching this and other videos Ive decided to buy GSX8r today, I haven’t ridin it theyll deliver tomorrow, ill let yall know how it rides
Since the 2024 CBR650R isn't coming to the U.S., maybe don't mention it or perhaps make that disclaimer. We're pretty sad we won't see the E-clutch come to these shores
disclaimers are definitely worthwhile for different international markets, but plenty of the world has access to the CBR and these videos aren't just for viewers from the states.
It's because dealers didn't want it, it didn't sell because it's too expensive for what it is.... The 8rs near me are already down to 8439$ the Daytona will sell to the couple thousand triumph fanboys and then have to lower the price - watch.
Quickshifter for CBR650R are available and a cheap option. E-clutch for fast up and down shifts. RS660 have features that most of us never use. What scares me is the lack of reliability and the insurance😱💸
Depending on where one live, in Sweden the RS660 is €3500 more expensive than Daytona 660. About €2000 more than CBR650R. I'm not sure about the Suzuki but that has a 7 year warranty, Honda 5 years, Triumph 2 years and Aprilia 2 years. I don't know anything about the R7 more than it's priced about the same as Daytona 660 at €11,500
