I have the 2021 model and bought it with the original Honda short screen just to improve the look of the exposed dash. It meets with the top of the headlight and finishes the front off really well. No noise from the front at all.
Riding in Ontario in the fall looks awesome. I've been living out of country for about 8 years, and got some serious nostalgia seeing you rip through the countryside. Thanks!
Really loved this video... Really calm and straight to the point about living with the bike. Ticked off all my questions and visually the video was good to watch, great editing and narration... a new subscriber!
I have the 2020 it's a good bike I put the oem windshield on was surprised what difference it made. Also fitted new exhaust ditched the heavyweight cat and fitted K&n airfilter and had a custom remap to get rid of the flat spot and love the Inline 4 as you wind it up sounds and breathes better now.
Great video and channel! Subscribed! ;) CB650R is a lovely bike and I am sharing exactly the same insights that you listed in the video. Aftermarket tailtidy is a must, besides that CB looks gorgeous. Cheers from Europe! Ride safe!
Got a CB650R aswell, 10.000km on it now. Great bike overall, but i really want a custom map on, the fueling isn't as bad as on a lot of other bikes, but it's far from perfect. Also i want to do the blokc off valve mod to improve on/off throttle response.Custom exhaust and map is coming up.
@@lilnips Yeah i would, it handles well and is very predictable, the weight is alright, not exactly a light weight like an MT07, but still 205kg isnt that bad. The quality is pretty decent, deffo above what yamaha offers, but not as good as the older honda's. Im quite happy with mine.
@@MissMan666 hey thanks for The reply…. Ive been leaning towards the naked style of bikes and it seems to me the cb is a heavy one… I don’t know how the 200kgs under me would be like as I wallow through traffic… and I’m not the biggest guy anyway… 5’8 :(

It will be my next bike but I do not expect to receive it before beginning of February, due to the current shortages of raw materials at world level. But in my country (Corsica), winters are sweet enough to enjoy riding a bike!

Hello there i think i can help you whit the wistleing noice just put a little pice of tape on the speedo where the sound comes from that did fix it for me
More than 80 hp is basically useless, you can only do quick bursts of acceleration and that’s about it! After that you are braking the law pretty much everywhere. This bike is no slouch anyway. 0 to 100 km/h in well under 4 seconds… keep it in the right RPM range and right gear and you are skilled enough and you will have no issues keeping up with anyone ….
Good review. I have the same bike (even the same colour) and I'm also an Ontario rider. I have never noticed this whistling noise you reference. Are you sure the problem isn't your helmet?
How is the LCD screen in bright sunlight in the summer ?, is it hard to read compared to the Kawasaki Z650 TFT screen? I really want to buy one of those bikes but i cant choose duo the screen. I have tested both bike’s a couple of times and they both don’t disappoint me when it comes to the engine’s, I am just unsure about the LCD screen on the Honda.
You’re wind noise, did they change the bracket that holds the display to give it a different viewing angle with the update? I know Honda was getting complaints about visibility and how dark the screen was was, so I wonder if they adjusted the angle of the screen up, causing it to catch air. If this is the case, look at an older bracket to swap on.
If you look at the bracket it's mounted on, there's already some adjustment in there, so you can tilt it yourself if needed, but that won't change the height of the tilt axis if that's the problem.
Honda's marketing department really does make me cringe on occasion though. There's absolutely no reason to invent some posh name for the immobiliser and traction control. All it does is muddy the waters, especially when everyone is already familiar with the standard terms.
Can it be a beginners bike for mature person with small on road and off road experience 10 years ago? Currently crippling on my 40s, so nothing crazy left ) I'm in love with Styling and Looks of it.
@@NYDStories I didn't mean to ride it off road ). I'm just hesitant if it won't be intimidating for someone who didn't ride for awhile. I'm planning on taking MSF courses etc.
Where did you find the piece so you could remove the passenger seat? Looking to get rid of the passenger seat on mine but hesitant because I can only find options on eBay so I’m worried about them fitting when they arrive months later.
there's no need to rev out that high until you hit gear 5 /6 . the max torque comes in around 4-8k rpm, so youre not getting more acceleration without more torque, so might as well shift up so you don't put more wear on your engine by having it in constantly higher than 8k rpm when you're not getting more torque anyways. unless you like that rung out throttle sound, then I guess youre doing it for the sound lol.
Maybe windshield origin Honda) helps you...I think ....ugly as you say never meet you on the way...I have it and no strange.... sound...etc...moreover it looks great.....and you know what...I didn't noticed this annoying sound on a ride... strange...I like your 📷
@@NYDStories wow, I see the Canada site only lists black for 2022. That’s weird and not smart on Honda’s part. They are pretty conservative colors that will sell no matter what. And if the parts are made for Europe, they might as well offer them to us. Same with mountain bikes, companies think EU and NA have different color preferences all because of focus group data 😂
I’m getting this bike I just put in a offer for a 2019 left over model I offered 8,000 out the door I don’t know if they will accept it but I’m not paying full price for a 2019 when I can get a 2022 for the same price
@@NYDStories I've seen plenty of vids showing it going over 240kph. Not that this matters to me in the least - doing those kinds of speeds on the road is nuts.
I started with Honda CB500 which is almost twice cheaper and sold it for the same price, after first season. IMHO This one might be a bit too powerful, buy still a good beginner bike if you ride it responsibly and put in good time into learning and maybe some riding courses before you jump on it.
@@NYDStories Thanks for the answer, I`m gonna get a bike in the next couple of years, and am doing a lot of research, atm. But, just like with powerfull cars, if I respect the power, I should be fine on a bike like this.
What bike would you choose for your daily?
I'm buying this bike after the winter ends 😍
@@stoneroses9350 go for it, great bike.
I got a 2019 Honda X-ADV 750. Excellent ride!
I love this bike but it's over priced in India hope to own it one day
Hey @@kalyand25 it’s over priced. Is it because it’s too popular or it’s after tax?
I have the 2020 version and ride it every day. I have 16000 kms on mine already. Literally no issues. Everything works. A joy to own.
Peter I was thinking of getting rid of the car and getting one for commuting, also your thoughts on some touring? Cheers
How is the dashboard in the summer can you read the speedometer well in the sun or is it difficult to read in the summer sun ☀️?
2020 had it for 3 years now I ride it at least an hour everyday. I love this thing

Look up what the math equation of torque and horsepower is.
Torque won’t increase but power definitely will. Plus the mechanical advantage of being in a lower gear.
While a tail tidy “is a must” but you can not ride on a wet road.
Why? Was riding in rain without any issues
what helmet are you using? looks really nice

Do you or anybody with experience reading this think that this would be too much as a first bike?
