Today we are finishing up all the First Rides on the 650 class bikes with the 2019 Honda CBR 650R. This is the new bike on the block when it comes to the 650 class. It also comes in a good bit more expensive than the rest so let's hope that extra cash gives you a better bike. Can the CBR 650r take on the long-standing rivals of the SV 650x and the Ninja 650? Let's find out!

Nice production quality as always Chase. A couple of things I want to mention about this bike, I own the naked version but I currently have the CBR on loan from Honda. I find the clutch really nice on these, really light but you can definitely tell when it's biting. Mirrors are fine, you just need to adjust them. To get the supersport experience, you have to rev this bike out. Gear low, revs high and this bike is a real hoot. It's a proper everyday sports bike. Here in the UK the bike is ridiculously cheap too, under £8k making it much more attractive. Ride safe brother, peace! EBD
Dan I loved your in depth review on this bike, even considering this as my next purchase.
@@Sumpguard Thanks Alvin, appreciate it. :)
@@Englishbikerdan subscriber of your channel Dan, upgrading from yamaha r3 to cbr650r as my second bike in india...do u think itz worth?
@@anirbanghosh5066in india itll be great unless you want a true supersport but it would be super difficult to use anywhere
@atharvakamat313 Honda and yamaha knows our india very well...we hate them about pricing and products,but they cater to practicality aspect much more than other brands, thatz what I blv...and am gonna stay with yamaha or Honda for future motorcycles😊
I bought this bike 3 weeks ago. I agree the clutch has zero feel, but personally I like it. It’s the lightest clutch lever pull I’ve ever felt. The handle bars and foot pegs do buzz a little bit at higher RPMs but acceptable. The best things about this bike are: radial mounted calipers, inverted forks, ram air, in-line 4 cylinder. Those are the things that make it feel like a super sport. Honestly I am very happy with it. Sure it’s not the fastest thing in the market, but it’s a very focused bike with a purpose. I’m glad you got to ride it Chase!
Milo Milo yes this is a pretty decent long distance bike. I’ve went on a 100 mile ride recently and it did great. It’s good on the freeway and great in the twisty mountains.
I've been looking for my first bike and I've totally fallen in love with it, do you recommend it?
@@theGizmo100 I would recommend it because I bought one 4 days ago and it’s perfect
@@theGizmo100 it can be used as a first bike if you’re sensible. Still probably best to get a 300 for a month or two. The 650 is pretty expensive so if you drop it you’re kinda fucked
It is really awesome as a second bike, but honda made a better bike ,CBR 600RR for the sport, but as a sport tourer, it really good, the inline 4 gives it a bad low end torque , still ok.
As an owner of the Honda CBR 650r, 2019 edition, the clutch is so light but I guess you could add an adjustable lever, I do agree with that. I'll be honest on mine, as I've done almost 3000 miles, the gearing really clunks into place for me. On the motorway/highway, you can easily do 100Mph + comfortably with no worries and if you are in the right rev range, 8000+ and above, it will pull really good. In the corners it basically just falls over. Personally I think it's a really polished machine, maybe a little too refined maybe. The bike essentially is perfectly good at everything, but it doesn't stand out in any specific way. Perfect for an upgrade from a smaller capacity bike. I ride this bike everyday and I've done almost 3000 miles on it, but I love every minute, its a bike you can basically ride in whichever way you like, aggressive or chilled out, and I've done over 200miles in one trip and it's super comfortable. I also love that induction noise! Also outro crew rating for me as an owner - 8/10
ECU remap it totally improves it, now it's a lot more fun
Loving having others that have put more miles on the bikes give their info man. Thanks for commenting!
Damnit I'm conflicted now. I've been riding a Honda ctx700n and want to upgrade within the next year. Really liking the gsxs750 but now this is on my radar.
How are the vibrations? Some other videos have mentioned the bike gets really bad vibes at certain RPMs.
I ride a cb650r and i realy enjoy riding it. Your comment is spot on!
I’m so happy rn. I’ve been waiting so long to see your review on the 650r. I want that bike to be my first bike
It'll be my 2nd. IF I decide to upgrade. I have the Ninja 400 and it does wonders for me
I got it this summer and was definitely a great scoop had the time of my life and can’t wait to be able to ride again after winter
Bike is a gem honestly, really versatile and great for the street rider and commuter. But still advantageous enough for some spirited riding and comfortably at that. Inline four as well, sheeesh let's be honest here I love this bike. Good review, feel like you missed the ball on some great points about this bike that would have made it a great review. Luv ya
Really digging the looks of this. Like, REALLY digging it. It would be my choice for sure, but I'm a Honda fanboy so my opinion is horrifically biased. 🤣
If your friends know absolutely nothing about bikes, they'll think this is one of the fastest bikes out there, simply because of the way it looks. I love it!!!
My friends know nothing about bikes and they think this about my 2018 CBR500R 😂
@@dylankeenan1590 same!
@No_Name yep, at 98 HP, and weighing less than 400 lbs you’re still going to be the fastest thing on the road 98% of the time. Heck if you have a Ninja 400, you’re going to be the fastest thing on the road at-least 75% of the time.
I love this bike.
@@chalkdemon8019 I have a ninja 300 and i still feel way faster than the majority of the cars 😂
Once again, like in the Ninja 650 video, slip assist clutch not mentioned. I would think that might affect the way you interpret the clutch and the engine braking. 😉
I'm so in love with this bike😩🔥
Bro, you can still see the colored lines on the tires. You know they're brand new and won't have any grip. Also, the clutch is by cable, and you can for sure adjust how it feels.
noobasdfjkl all that stuff can be adjusted. Mirrors buttons clutch break all that stuff can be customized. People don’t know that and it’s annoying because they judge the bike off that stuff. It’s like wtf
Agree, also you can't really do a proper comparison unless every bike has the exact same tyres.
Good tyres transformed my cornering by quite alot.
Unfortunately it's not just about lines, most expensive bike here, has the cheapest tyres ;)
@@JeTmanChannel That's usually the case. Imagine if they put good tyres on, the price would be too high and then it's harder to sell.
This is why triumph tends to be priced higher. Decent tyres and amazing brakes.
Sometimes, you can hear in a person's voice when they aren't overly excited about riding a bike...but, if you have the luxury of riding literally hundreds of different bikes so that you can truly know what tickles your fancy, I guess this is not a bad thing lol
Treizez34 well put
The engine is tuned to take regular fuel and fuel economy. I find inline 4s with lighter valve springs tend to do better in fuel economy but vibrate more as a result.
The bike that I've been waitinggg
Get it with abs quickshifter traction control
Wojciech Kalka u can’t the the abs/traction control and the quickshifter... it’s one or the other
hendrix yes you can. Or at least here in the uk you can.
altypeRR idk but when I called Honda about it for mine that’s what they told me
@@WojciechKalka I think in malaysia we didn't have quickshifter for this bike
Ohhhhhh I beeen waitin for this one!
All I hear is contradiction and drivel. "The bike makes me want a supersport experience but the engine doesn't deliver." Yet, "The riding position isn't quite super sport, but not as relaxed..." then later "Yeah, this bike is a lot more like a super sport" So which is it? Also, the engine revs out 12,800 rpm, yet you complain about it not delivering a super sport like experience when you barely scratch 8000rpm really early into the review. As for the clutch - It has a Slipper and Assist clutch, which is why it feels so light. I didn't once see you screw up a clutch engagement... Maybe, and hear me out, just maybe, you aren't used to it?
Totally possible my dude. In my First Ride videos they are just that. A First Ride and during them I'm working out my feelings on the bike and how I feel about it. Its not unheard of for my opinion to change as the video goes on.
@@chaseontwowheels I can't fault that as it is a literal "Ride review." I would say that it may be a good idea to ride the bike before recording to help formulate full opinions, then do a second ride to record and then express those opinions when they are fully formed. Some of your observations about this bike were spot on, and others just seemed... odd. Something to conclude about this bike that was a missed opportunity, for example, was that this is a great beginner/learner track bike that can also be a better daily than a full on super sport 600.
Wow, I feel so much more "complete" now. So, First Rides are like one-night-stands with weed/liquor.
Michael Nickname The purpose of the semi mid class is not to include Super Sports or weren’t you paying attention?
@@OddBallPerformance - Why develop full impressions first? That would be a review. This is a first ride... aka "This is what you might feel or think your first time on it." I like the format.
Love how you're pumping out these First Rides.
Chase, I love your reviews and have watched many over the last few weeks all the while shopping for the correct bike. Today, I’ve found a 600r discounted very heavily and within my price range. Your review many have steered me away from this model due to a few issues; clutch, peg positioning, low range torque, wind screen setup, turn signal positioning. In short, your words hold more weight than you may know. It may be best for everyone (viewer included) to have you critique the bike later in the ride, possibly atleast till you’ve driven on highway. Several reviews (including this one) you went from not so good to really nice.
On a site note, I spent a few years reviewing restaurants and small businesses. I love what you’ve been offering, however wish you would hold off negatively critiquing until further into the ride. That way we get an overall view on a scale of 1:10; something a little more measurable.
See Ya’h round
The clutch is designed to be very lightweight. It has an assisted/slipper clutch designed to feel like an easy step from smaller bikes
I've owned this bike since August of '19...LOVE it. Upgraded from a 2016 CB500X (changed riding styles?) The bike is pretty good at anything, but not perfect at anything...that being said, it's perfect at being good at everything. Efficient for a daily commute (I do everyday, to and from work), comfy enough for a nice, long cruise, and power when I want it to get away from all the a**holes on the road. It handles corners nicely, too! Fun bike overall, glad I made the purchase on it.
Almost a year owning this bike, I absolutely love it and yeah the clutch is strange at first but now I'm used to it so I don't stall every lights lol
Is this a good beginner bikes?
But how do you like the clutch?
Wow the bike looks amazing and love the I-4 sound over the twin. It's crazy how Honda makes a 500r and 650r look better than there 600rr....
I can look at this bike all day everyday.
Moving up from a 300 I wanted a supersport but didn't want a track-focused super-weapon. After looking around I found this to be a perfect compromise of a supersport and a 650 class bike without sacrificing too much on either end. Huge plug for me is it's still geared towards performance with the high revving I-4 + plus it doesn't sound like a lawn mower. This just solidified my feelings, love this bike! Coming for it soon!
Lol jk I got a daytona
@@BlueDevilMoto how's your back?
@@pocketpunch9920 just fine 😂
@@BlueDevilMoto hehe 675s are beautiful and great, I just can't ride them for very long hahaha
@@pocketpunch9920 they're definitely not meant to be ridden like a cruiser. I've never taken a trip longer than a couple of hours, anything more and you really have to pull off and relax for a bit
Chase, are you going to do 600 super sports next after you get done with this first ride series
Hello there Mr. Chase, it's just a recommendation from me. Every time you felt like going to ride a motorcycle for the "First Ride" series, make sure you set/adjust/request the clutch lever to be your preference settings/adjustments. So you can have equal/similar clutch feeling for all the motorcycles you're going to ride and better at judging them. Cheers...!! 😁
I will say, this thing's position looks a lot like the old VFR800. Not too upright, not too aggressive. Seems comfortable
This video really sold me on the CBR650R. Looking forward to when I graduate school and can buy one of these beautiful machines.
Bike looks sick af tbh
Not really a fan on the tail side... couldve been more sharper it looks like a cb 650r :( front end side looks sick tho...
@@Jriz01 thats why you buy the pillion cover
I love the back, looks real modern, traditional sport bike tails look too pointy too me.
The real irony of this review is that, now Honda has the E-Clutch, the clutch feel is rendered irrelevant.
Me personally i love the 650 the clutch feels like the honda grom which is the bike i learned on its very loose and since the grom had it i like it. I have a 2020 CBR650R
It has a quickshifter if fitted and traction.control, I have it with Akrapovic and ECU tune totally different bike, without tune the six gear was useless, no abs is silly, clutch is totally fine, I rarely use it anyway. Btw stock this bike has 69.7hp on the rear wheel and runs at 18-19:1 air ratio..Now at 2500miles on it after two months..
I prefer the 2018 CBR650F over the 2019 going to a 650R. If you can get your hands on one of those you will probably prefer it as well.
How about a ride or a review on a CBR500R 2019/2020 chase. Really love ur videos dude, keep it up👍
If you think this things has vibration, ride a 2 stroke dirt bike, you have to tighten the bolts after every ride
I give this a 8, liked it the best.
I bet you could change the tension on the wire of the clutch to give you more feel.
I think you need to consider insurance cost in this comparison. The CBR650R is double the price of the Ninja 650 and SV650X for me to insure. I really like the CBR, but the insurance is the same as a ZX-6R or R6. Though I get what you're saying, the CBR is a great option as a comfortable slightly less than super sport bike.
Love your videos Chase, keep up the good work.
I love how you yell out Hell yeah as you pull into the church parking lot
If only the Ninja had the CBR engine, sound boii!!💚❤️💚❤️
Please no ... the N650 stands alone with a torquey twin with fairings and comfy body position. You've got a million inline-4s to choose from already ...
Just prefer the sound, personal preference though 🔥 I'm currently daily commuting (50miles/80km) with a r3 and looking for something different that's not a parallel twin.
@@gerrit_r Biggest reason why I went from Z650 to Z900.
xorbe2 this bike has a very comfortable position compared to a ZX6R, R6, or CBR600RR. The CBR650R is basically the same chassis style as a Ninja, neutral riding position, it just adds a screaming i4 into the mix...
I have the late 2016 version of this bike (it’s basically identical, they’ve just changed the body shapes, dash, etc. and yes I have driven both!) - it’s the stock levers you’re hating. PLEASE don’t judge this bike on the levers!!! I replaced mine with aftermarket adjustables a week after buying this bike and the difference is phenomenal (I also have tiny hands so...). I know exactly how you’re feeling with that clutch and even after adjusting the cables repeatedly, I still struggled and wasn’t happy, so decided to give aftermarkets a shot and everyone else I’ve recommended changing them to, have noticed the difference which is ridiculous! I’ve done over 50,000 miles on this bike so far and do 400+ miles commuting every weekend here on the UK, in all weathers, so I will definately say this is a great bike for commuting! The stock tyres on this bike are also not great and they eat nails, etc. - mine are currently Michelin Pilot Road 5’s but previously had the Metzeler 01’s and both were such an improvement. It’s such a super stable bike! Pillions are also happy on it :) I’m a fairly short female and my partner (male) rides on the back sometimes and has no complaints even after 100 miles. The only thing I disagree on (sorry!) is the lack of good engine breaking as I use this all the time and have never had an issue with it not being good enough for general use, but that might just be me XD Great to see this review from you, as have been waiting for you to test this bike for ages, so thanks!
Honda 1 , Kawasaki 2 , Suzuki 3, 🤷🏻♂️ just my choice
Same
Agree
Rip yamaha
I think the ninja is a better bike but Suzuki's engine is better ,
@@m.rraghav817 Have riden them all and totally agree with You,. In the end I have purchased Kawi as I wanted a faired bike, but if Suzuki would have had modern S version with a fairing, would go for Suzuki as love it's engine and suspension.
Dude literally went from "meh-meh-meh-meh" to nuts in 0.5 secs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think the clutch and gearbox are a common Honda thing. I drove an 02 civic and that clutch had no feel in it either, and shifting from gear to gear gave little indication that it actually went into gear, my crf230f’s clutch also had basically no feedback either, and the gearbox would slip into neutral only from 1st gear, and shifting from neutral to 1st sometimes gave zero indication that it engaged, oddly enough the other gears felt fine
There’s a quick shifter add on from Honda if you don’t like clutch.
Would love to see a review of the Honda CB650R.
It's the same bike with no fairings it's lighter do.
EnglishBikerDan has a CB650R and has a pretty good review on it
@@luisaguiar857 it's got shorter gearing I think
Really enjoy watching the first rides ! I do not believe audio will ever be properly conveyed through recording. I do have a 2014/18 ( long story but all factory) MV Agusta F3 800 that you need to ride. i live in the west Ga area. The Honda is nice never personally rode one, only harleys and suzukis.
im surprised you didn't test the CB650R as well which is the naked version of this bike
Finally a comprehensive review of this bike.. Good job man
This is what happens when a "Experienced" Rider rides only big cc bikes and go to small cc bikes and say its not a supersport engine
Please do a first ride of the 2020 Ninja 1000SX
The first ride I’ve been waiting for!!

The clutch is the best thing about this bike
Dude, I love your reviews, but your overtakes on multi lane roads are asking for someone to crash into you. Bikes are small and you pull out like a second before you touch their back bumper - for anyone who was thinking about moving lane you won’t have been in the lane they’re moving into for long enough to see you.
I know people can pull out even when they see you for ages, but give yourself that time to be seen.
No hate here, just want you safe. Love the content.
Good first ride clutchontwowheels. :P This made me consider the red color over the black as well. Cheers!
I consider cbr650r as a sports tourer, because it is not as powerful as r6 or cbr600r and it looks amazing, I think it is a looks matter kind of bike
You can upgrade the clutch springs, but on this bike is a slipper clutch so it's suppose to be soft. Those type of clutch are easy to use for beginners.
You look GREAT on that bike, Chase.
You could just replace the levers with aftermarket adjustable ones, that should solve the clutch problem, right?
Putting a heavier set of springs in the clutch can improve the feel somewhat, aka make the pull a bit heavier at the lever, it has an added benefit of giving the plates more grab when fully closed, but it depends if these are available in the aftermarket. It also requires removing the clutch from inside the engine.
Do first ride on the 2020 CBR500R
Bruh...you sound like those tik tok memes of when parents asks you what happened to the money and the guys says 'this....thiisss....thisss'💀
Honda went against the whole world putting the horn above the blinkers. Most bikes have the horn below the blinkers where your thumb rests.( to activate the horn quickly)
Please review the kawasaki ninja zx636 2019
Great video!!
I've been riding over 12 years on over 30 different bikes and I can't wait to get this and add to my collection. This bike is the modern version of the F4i which was wanted for years. I think Honda hit it right on the nail with this one and I absolutely love the way it looks.
Its exactly what I think, its very like a 90s supersport in its position and power ect. You know when 600s sold like hotcakes before they got ever more extreme and unusable
But it has ten less horsepower with 50 cc more than the f4i. Need some rawness in a 600, this feels very predictable and sterile.
Outro crew 9/10 the only negative being the price compared to the others in the class but you get what you pay for
I think the reason "they're driving so slow today," is because you're driving 20 mph faster than they are. It has that effect.
Heya Chase, have you ever thought about doing a first ride on a CB400 ? Would love to see one
18:59 "Future bike."
I had one...it’s boring...I traded it for the 2020 CBR650R
Stiffer springs in your clutch pack would make the clutch heavier
Next comparasions of bukes should be the 800-900cc category
Bikes like the KTM 790, kawaksaki z900 and if anyone got other bikes to think about that would be great....i took a toll over the top of my head so dont judge me
Sporty without the sport. Like a v6 mustang😂
wait for the electric one in future.
To be honest... they are very similar to a 600 supersport in the 90s, when they sold like hotcakes. Now no one buys supersport 600s because they became too extreme!
Special pricing from Mountain Motorsports wasn't anything in my case. They had $100 difference between store tag and online listing, said couldn't do any discount for C2W. Whole experience was rather lame :C
I bought a CBR650R 2019 model in January, here in the UK. Been looking forward to your review for ages. One thing.. I think the UK bike has more power (94bhp) and from the highway shots, I think my bike is faster.. don't know why the difference, perhaps stricter emissions. The clutch has hydraulic assist to make it lighter.. also I think the bite-point was set wrong for you, as it was also on the SV650X. I have ASV levers on mine which adjust the span, and just behind the lever there is a knob for adjustment (sometimes its on the gearbox end) and you can adjust the bite point there (but not too much as it may affect clutch slip.. ask Brian). I think both on this and the SV650X some adjustment in the clutch bite point may have solved your issue.
I love my CBR650R its just right for my first bike after getting a license, and my next one will be a SuperSport bike. Love your reviews and content Chase, keep up the hard work bro :)
Yes that's really bother me tbh. Basically every lever clutch operated motorcycle is adjustable, sometimes when a dude ranting about how bad the clutch feels just because the engage is to short or to long it becomes a big minus for a motorcycle. Like man, you should have enough knowledge about every bits on motorcycle if you rode them long enough or had that many years experience. That's what happened when a dude only know how to ride motorcycle, but doesn't have a bond with it.
You hate that clutch because thats a dead clutch. It is adjusted wrongly by the mechanic on this demo bike over its last service. The progressive feel on the bike is very much prominent. I own the 2019 black model and love the progressive response of the clutch. This dead clutch needs to be fixed or else will end up burning the clutch plates. The actual feel is very light and progressive.
Thats my 2 cents here.
Cheers.
I have this bike but in matte black with TC and ABS
great bike but the stock tires suck ass
The TC is annoying as shit but does its job nicely
The clutch is so soft it’s annoying at first but when you get used to it its a blessing especially in traffic
Ninja 650 is a better freeway commuter. Softer suspension, wider taller wind protection, more leg room especially with Corbin seat. CBR is more fun but more sporty.
nice bike dude
5 views 9 thumbs up. Like that ratio.
You can change the clutch springs to give you more a harder pull/more feel from the clutch. People do it all the time.
Death Wish83 yes but this bike comes stock with a slipper clutch with a lighter clutch pull, the F model that I have has the old clutch and a much harder pull getting stuck in gridlock on the highway was a bitch
Can you do the new Aprilia 660? Out of the 3 bikes, I much prefer this bike looks wise and the 4cyl too because it'll sound so awesome with a can, just not a fan of the price. For the price I'd get the ZX6R instead.
Good evening sir. I'm purchasing my first bike and I've decided to go with this one quick question do you know why it only comes in red? I'd like all black. Thanks for responding if you do and keep up the great work. You influenced my decision stay awesome.

Imho it looks even better
They nailed the looks and the bars/tank height are spot-on. I'm guessing the waistline cut-out on the windscreen fairing is for clip-on clearance. I wish it had a more solid cockpit windscreen like the R3 (but maybe the fairing would've been too high (??). I'm searching for double bubble screen pics now.
Please do a first ride with the MT03!!!
I'm seriously considering trading my CBR500R in for this. But I'm also looking at the 2008 CBR600RR. Which would be the better buy?
“There you are you grey whatever you are”. Me a car person: 😑
Right?! It’s one of the most common ones too! 😭😭😂
This or the cbr600rr? Loving the look of the 650r tho
Would you say the cbr 650 is comparable in acceleration to a Suzuki Katana? 600 or 750?
I'm waiting for that Honda cbr1000rr-r sp ride
Well yes this was my option for this year, but then 2020 Ninja appeared. Yes Honda has additional 15mph speed, an inverted fork, and traction control, but Ninja has better design in my liking, beter gearbox and clutch, more torque, better seating position, better tyres, less weigh. I have test riden both, Honda is more like supersport wannabe, but I wanted a commuter and acceleration is the same for all bikes, and only Honda has to be reved up. I know it's going to win in tomorrow comparison, but it's not a comuter and not a supersport, so bye bye Honda, purchased two Ninjas, one for me, one for girlfriend, sad I am not able to add a picture ;)
good choice 💪
isn't the clutch maybe only relevant when you're driving off a standstill? and aren't hydraulic clutches also light af?
First part of your video was crap but I really enjoyed the drive through town portion. Creative filming IMO and sound was very crisp
This is confusing, you say it’s easily the best bike in its class but yet you are complaining the whole time about the odd position and power
I just started watching your reviews and i love how in-depth you get. From the graph at the beginning to performance. I think it’s really dope
It appears just from the sound of it has a terrible torque from get go. Don't care how smooth it is on the hwy but if you have to spool all the time at the lights. I'm sure ninja 650 should be good choice for hwy rides as well, while maintaining good torque & frugal as Hell as compared to this one.
