What does a short rider think of the 2021 Honda CB650R?

- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- First ride perspective by a short woman rider on this CB650R. I compare it to the Yamaha MT07, Triumph Trident 660, Kawasaki Ninja 650 and Z650, and the Triumph Street Triple R 675, all bikes I've ridden this year that are most similar to this one.

First thing you notice about Honda is the fit and finish and mechanical refinement is top tier
Then the turn signal placement! 😂
Had a new 2005 honda shadow. Had it a year. It was in the shop more than my garage.
Had a 2016 honda cb500. Throttle got stuck open once on the freeway....never buying honda again
My wife and I just bought an mt07 each. Did our maiden journey on the weekend which was 1200km round trip through the mountains to our first grand daughters christening. Man we had a ball. We are new to this life but extremely excited about all that lies in fro t of us.
Got the 2019 model as my first bike. Ever since, every minute I'm not riding has been spent wishing I was. At 6'2 I can say it fits taller riders just as well, apart from some moderate butt ache past the 2 hour mark.
I love the smoothness of the 4-cylinder, the linear power delivery makes it so easy and unintimidating to ride around town as a beginner, yet if you want, it still pulls like a freight train higher up in the rev range.
Also, it's just gorgeous... admittedly one of the main reasons I went for it over the MT07.
I got it over the MT09 just because of the looks. I can live without the extra hp it doesn't mean much in the real world.
THANK YOU FOR THE HEIGHT CONFIRMATION!!! I have been eyeballing this bike since i came across it 2 years ago. Think its finally time to start my journey
I'm 5'6 and can't flat foot it, but it still feels light enough for me to be leaned over one foot. Moving it around off the bike doesn't feel hard to do at all.
The power is good too, this is my first bike after my msf and a weekend with a 500f, it's so friendly.
So far I love this bike, 1200 miles in 3 weeks!
Bought this same bike as my first street bike/midlife crisis a few months ago. Just got past the break in mark. So far 600+ miles of smiles. Like so many other comments I feel like this is a great first bike especially for either mature noobs like me (42), or younger responsible minded riders. Easy to manage power, easy to ride in traffic, forgiving clutch, low maintenance costs, lots of accessories, and plenty of power to grow with.
I've already put the quick shifter and heated grips on mine, grips extended my fall riding season, quick shifter is just fun and handy if you are accelerating quickly.
Totally can relate to the horn/turn signal mix ups. I do it all the time, especially when cancelling with my thicker cold weather gloves.
Look forward to hearing your final thoughts on it.
I've had the CBR650F, which is essentially the faired version of this bike, for 4 years now, and I love it just as much today as I did the day I bought it.
TOO CUTE! Nice bike as well. Love the matte black and squared up design lines and small exhaust. Thank you Doodle.
Thanks for the review from a short hight rider perspective !! Very helpful & totally loved it
You and Lila are by far my most fav motorvlogers on this app❤️
I just got a great deal on a brand new 2022 model, same colour, that was sitting in a Honda shop 3 hours away. I'll pick it up next week. I'm so excited!
I couldn't wait to see your review of the CB650R!!!!
I love every single one of those exclamation marks
The review is really nice.
Maybe a recommendation: When comparing the numbers of seatheight, width, weight, wheelbase, etc. You could maybe edit in the numbers on screen on the clips where you're at home to visualise the dimensions abit. Personally I forget numbers really quick even if they are mentioned directly before the second set of numbers.
I always liked the cb line. Part of the reason it feels smoother than other 650's is because it's an inline 4 and most others are inline twins. An inline 4 will always feel a bit smoother than a twin. Not necessarily better or worse as some actually prefer the feel of a twin more. A v-twin and an inline twin are also going to feel quite a bit different. Good review.
Yep, you nailed it 4-n
Doodle, I’m looking forward to hearing your long term review on the Honda CB650R. I want hear everything you like about this Motorcycle and dislike about it. Have a great weekend.
You the best😁
Very informative & enjoyable review Doodle💯👍🏽 Your editing skills are getting really good🙌🏽🔥🦾
The Honda 650 is a great bike, possibly the most refined bike in that 650/700 class.
Try 4 cyl engine is very gentle and predictable down low in the revs, great for beginners. But it's also got plenty of power once you rev it up, good fun for an advanced rider. Having it for a month is a real treat, i would ride the heck out of it. 🙂
Hi, I drove one today but I am not sure about the knee comfort on long tours. Do you have experience with this?
@@vermithrax01... no sorry. It will depend on your height a lot for leg bend, you need to ask someone on the Honda forums who is your height.
jou that makes sense. thank you :)@@wizrom3046
I just discovered your channel today and love your enthusiasm. I'm a short rider as well and just getting back into riding again after a couple of years. Great review on the CBR650R. Ride safe!
Woot woot!
I like “future doodle”, she seems very useful.
She’s my best friend
Ok I just wish she were my best friend
My bad, the 2020 Z400 does have a sight glass 🤪

I really enjoy your "Spec. Breaks." That seems like a nice bike. I think its pretty too. The anvil in your garage will probably break before that Honda does. Those guys build bullet proof engines...amazing reliability. and build integrity second to none.
@Melchor Hipona Find a course!
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle with the 600 group of naked bikes being your favourite... I'm a little bit surprised you haven't tried the Suzuki SV 650 for several reasons. I think it's a little bit shorter than the others, it's cheaper than the others - which is a factor in its popularity among new riders, possibly worried about crashing and losing their pride and joy, the insurance will be that bit cheaper since it's a bit less powerful and a lower priced machine.
I hope you get a shot of one, I'll look forward to that video.
@@wolfpackpete6408 I tried it! Just didn't record it. Suzuki's are hard to track down.
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle o well. Maybe one of your viewers will lend you one day. Or Suzuki will hear about your channel and give you a demo bike for a while??
I'm liking the naked style more & more. That "Oh, what was that moment" at minute 9, is a Can Am Spyder or Ryker. I just had a riding class on those this weekend...very FUN 3 wheelers 🤩😎
Your confidence in trying different bikes, is encouraging others like me to get out there & do they same. 💜
These are great vids. Thanks. I love the different perspectives that you bring to them. Macho, speed stuff is very dull. Bikes are for everyone and the bike segment you've chosen is probably the best for engagement and fun for all sorts of people. .
🤷🏽♀️😋
i ride a 650F and i must say.. its an amazing bike. i can be going 45 in 6th gear and it still has enough torque to accelerate just fine. ive had it for 2.5 years now and i genuinely think im just going to keep it forever. mod by mod.
That turn signal thing is the definition of frustrating when you switch brands. I went from a Cbr500r to an sv650. It took three weeks to stop hitting the horn and actually get the signals
Seriously thoooo every time I switch! 😅
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Ride a Honda and hit the horn instead of indicators lol
😂
EnglisBikerDan hit the horn plenty of times too.
When i switch from my z650 to my gfs rebel 500 🤦🏻
I currently ride a 2008 Honda CBR600RR and I love this thing. I also love the fact that you are a writer. And ride so many different bikes I love your channel can't wait to introduce my niece to you. She likes to do everything I do. Been trying to get my wife on a motorcycle but with her ankle issues she needs a three-wheeler she's looking at the Can-Am Spyder. Thank you for your videos they are truly inspiring. I live in Ohio Columbus to be exact. And would love to do some riding with you. I started a RUclips channel showing people how to fix cars but unfortunately it didn't take off.? It's probably me LOL but thank you for all your videos making sure I go through and watch every single one of them.
I faced the same issue on my CB650R. Honking instead of turn signals. And also turning off traction controls at time unintentionally. But thank you for riding this bike :-)
Love the banter between you and your alternate identity :)
Had one for a year. Fantastic engine note and very confidence inspiring handling. The tail tidy is an abomination but otherwise a very cool looking bike. Ultimately it was part of my bike journey and I’m now on an adventure bike for comfort and touring after a 1500 mile trip last Summer showed it was more of a local blast machine. Hope you have lots of fun. If you get the engine singing it is deceptively quick. Enjoy.
I think I have a lot of questions for you if you are willing.
The tail tidy is an abomination on a lot of bikes for the simple reason that in some countries the number plate must be beyond the rear tire.
@@SFV4 quite right. This one is particularly revolting but easily removed. Unfortunately when you do if there is even a damp sheen to the road it means you get a lovely line up you back and helpfully,on the tail tidy I bought, in heavy rain water collects under the seat. The price of vanity I suppose.
@@manselltache5322 interesting, I have the barracudamoto tail tidy (Italian company, might not be available globally) and I've had no such issues. I do have my plate tilted to the maximum legal angle though.
Really nice review, your giggles and awe through the video stresses the points…
This is ace. The part that said “if you’re happy with your one bike”… is any biker happy with just one? Lol. Great video as ever. Just ordered a CB650R and can’t wait
Yes! "Black Beauty" is also what I first called my CB650R also black of course. Best looking naked in opinion :)
Great review! The horn messes a lot of people up and now when I hop onto Ninja's I keep blasting the horn... Muscle memory has adapted to the Honda swap now, haha.
If anyone's on the fence about one, I've thrown together my thoughts on it.
After spending this summer riding my 2021 CB650R and putting 7k on the on it in just shy of 4 months, you could I enjoy the bike just a little bit.
It's one of the most comfortable, neutral feeling, and responsive bikes that gives you the best of both worlds. An upright positioning similar to that of a dual-sport/mountain bike feel, yet reacts almost as fast as a dedicated sport bike. A simple shift of the hips will make the bike move where you want it, even at higher speeds. The sound is perfect stock if you enjoy that F1 high screaming sound of an inline four and yet maintains a nice quiet note at low rpm's saving you grief from your neighbours.
The positioning of the exhaust seems more modern and tidy in comparison to it's larger big brother and the offset pipes on the right add a beefy aggressive look.
The changes made with the Showa shocks are nice despite not allowing for adjustability (as was stated on some release reviews) and although it is nice as higher speeds, cracks, small pothole and even tarsnakes are noticeable at lower speeds which at times can take away from the otherwise smooth ride. Some may prefer the simplistic and stylish LCD display over the TFT seen on the 1000cc although each have advantages in certain lighting conditions. It would be nice to have had the option for an upgrade package that included switchable riding modes but at least the option for add the quickshifter is available.
The classic round headlight on the 650cc vs the slanted back and horseshoe-shaped on the 1000cc black edition has a more classic look that might appeal to those trying to keep the bare bones "old-school" look while having some of the modern appeal thrown into the mix. The lighting itself is phenomenal and extremely bright with just the daytime runners on. The highbeams are on par with that of a xeon headlight in a car and will give you no issues on those dark dingy roads.
The biggest disappointment (a small one at that) is the rear seat storage and lack of the promised usb-c charging port. The Americas never got one (even though it's a cheap add-on one can easily do yourself) and even if it did, you'd be hard pressed to even fit a phone in there given the miniscule amount of space offered. The rear seat itself is a challenge itself as you need to apply pressure and keep it level as you push down, back and out. The design of the hooks makes it a pain until you figure out the trick.
The bike can easily allow for day long rides provided you take breaks at least every two hours or so, anything over that straight will make your rear end pay the price. It's managed to hold up to a wide array of short road trips in Canada in various conditions and again has extremely smooth and responsive handling. Wind and heavy rainfall can be a bit tricky at times given the exposed nature of a naked bike but even if you're over six foot you can manage if you position yourself well and shift weight as needed to compensate. It has enough weight behind it to hold its ground but will also take some finesse to keep control in more extreme weather. The rear plate holder acts as a decent mud guard and has been an upgraded to metal combined with plastic louvers like those you'd find on the rear window of a old Mustang. It balances the bike's appearance adding length to the shorter body and makes for a nice contour to the rear wheel.
As with most Honda's the 2nd gear definitely needs a firm click and isn't something you can gently graze like some bikes. The gearing ratio for it has quite a junp so it's expected to some degree (got spoiled on my friend's '21 MT-09).
It's extremely easy to find neutral on this bike but also just as easy to toss it into a false neutral while shifting out of first if you're not assertive with it. You'll find reviews complain about brake and throttle responsiveness but this is coming from people that own and review bikes made for the track. Not something that's anyway realistic to find from a general street bike in this price point. A lot of comparisons are made to the Triumph Triple and that youll get better power, character and value for the price compared to Honda but again, it comes to style/feel preferences along with reliability.
If you're looking for a bike that's comfortable, reliable, good street responsiveness and has a bare bones bike feel the 650R won't let you down.
I rode a Triumph Speed Triple 1200 at the IMS Outdoors Show this weekend and my first Triumph and man that 3 cylinder linear power is something else. Thoroughly enjoyed the quick shifter for clutchless up shifts and downshifts.
I own a Sprint 1050st, 2006. It was a spec decision mostly. I knew I wanted a Sport Touring and this was by far the sportiest. I got a leftover in 07 with free handbags. Now, however it''s pure emotion. It's been down a few times, pushing your limits on the street can be dicey, and now is down with electrical issues. I love my Triumph and we shall be together until one of us kills the other. The Bobber Black will keep it company when the time comes.
Hoping that CB is as a joy to ride as my 82' CB-750 four is. Very safe travels in the weeks ahead.
You talked me into the CB650R. I live in Spain and we have 4 different colors to choose from. Red it is. This bike reminds me of the old CB400 F. One of the best looking bikes ever.
Woohoo! You’ll love it
My wife had a 2021 cb650 R and I really enjoyed borrowing it from time to time. I had an Mt07 for about 1000km and quickly sold it. Its got nothing on the CB650R. CB has better suspension, engine, brakes. Only thing I preferred on the MT was the riding position. Loved the cb engine. Its nice an soft at lower revs but really pack a nice punch and sings at high revs.
I test rode the XSR700 (mt07, basically), the z650, the rebel 500, the cbr500 and went with the candy-RED CB650R. I must say, I LOVE this bike! and did a over 12000 km since i got it earlier this year.
WOOHOO!!
Hey Doodle you are such a great interspersion my story and I will try to keep it short. I'm 62 and have road sport bikes as long as that I can remeber but quit riding about 3 years ago. I'm retiring in Feb and thought getting a new motorcycle would bring some very much needed adventure back into my life and to use it as a daily commuter. So the motorcycle that I picked out for me is the BMW G310R Its light has power but not to much to get me into trouble and being short 5'7 with a 30in inseam it fits perfect and its a lot of fun to ride. Thanks for all of your hard work on your great vids
Ahhh excited for you!!! 😁😁❤️❤️
I am slightly jealous! The 13th test bike? Wow. Well, I wouldn't even have the time to enjoy those, the Swedish summers are too short! ;-)
I am not really a fan of four-cylinder engines, but the Kawasaki Z900RS I once got as a loaner while my KTM was in for service was something I could imagine adding to the bikes in my not-existing garage! Haven't had a Honda four-cylinder however. Enjoy!
So excited to watch this when I get home tonight!!! We almost got one of these to replace our CB300R
Woohoo!!
Yes, 4 cylinders are by far and large, incredibly smoother than any parallel twin.
I watched this video a 2nd time. Typical excellent dialogue and good critique. I have CB600f and love it and if I were to get another motorcycle, I would look for the CB650.
Mtn roads are the best and there are excellent roads in East Tn.
I don't care what bike you're riding, you are a supreme delight.
Hello Mrs. Doodle,,, I am one of your fans and followers, I have been on motorbikes since a WEE Ladd, my dad was an airman and a big motorcycle nut. our family always had motorcycles, we rode them and rode them some more... I worked for Honda motor co from 1983-2010 and it was some of the best days of my life. great organization and from cars to motorcycles all the way to a weed eater, Honda made it, Asimo was a revelation for the motor CO along with Honda jet and F1 and indy car engine supplier.... Honda was always on the GET R DONE meter... you made a comment on the CB650R that just kinda made me go,,, WELL YA KNOW!!! Now to set the record straight I was not offended or mad, and I really do respect everyones opinion,, REALLY I DO... you made the comment that when you see a Japanese motorcycle you think cheep..... There is nothing cheap about a cb650r, the engineering is finomial. in fact I ride a 2007 ST1300 that looks like I just bought from the dealer yesterday. it is bar none my most favorite bike I have ever had, from Yamaha to Harley, that V4 just twirls my turbine, I enjoy it better than any of my late model bikes.. So don't take me as being bias or harsh, I know the industry well and I love just a bout any bike I get my hands on... in fact I really want a Bonnie, like real bad,, So Doodle don't take this as a scolding, cause its not, you are just over the moon with your triple, which is one of the smoothest machines ive ever rode.....
The preload setting for the rear suspension will have some effect on seat height. From the factory the bike will probably be set up for someone heavier than you. That is something that you could investigate. It might even be an idea for a video.
Excellent point. The springs at least have 4-5 maybe even 6 preloads. If I set them up for my 190 lbs and Doodle dropped her 120-130 self on it it would handle and ride so much worse, than if she had it set down to the minimum, where I suspect it would be best. The weight of the rider is such a large portion of the all up weight, tweaking the springs for the load is really important. She might even need to go to lighter springs. Forks and shocks.
Hi Doodle🙋♂️
I really like your perspective on the 650 class Naked Bikes. Great on the specs as a shorter rider and your ride as a commuter. Yes, I'm a SoCal rider and yes I lane split(Ty-CHP) and I like a lil wind audio, makes it more real. I started riding 3yago on my DRZ400S, I know all about tippytoe/1 legging it. Ty Doodle
For further naked bike fun, try the Suzuki SV650 (X) if you can! It's awesome (but I'm biased).
My first bike was an 85 Nighthawk 650SC. I got it non-running from the dealer I was working at, as it sat in storage for years.
lol that horn placment... awesome bike thanks for sharing!
Maam I have been drooling over the z900. Thank god I watced ur video.
I’m the first to respond!!! Hey girlie!! I’m a short rider also. I have a R6 and I have to tippy toe and one flat foot when I’m at the light. I’m 5’6”.
Whoooa yes R6’s are tall!!
awesome video as always
I'm absolutely looking forward to your review of the 650 Honda. It's a pretty sweet looking bike, and it will be interesting to hear what your experience was like.
Ride safe, Doodle, 🏍💨💨
Annie from Oz 🇦🇺✌👌😎
So great to see Kody excited to see the new bike 😉 👍 well done future Doodle too it makes your video feel so much better knowing that we have the best information available.... brilliant as ever Carolyn so very well done with your transition to 100% you tuber so pleased your so happy in all your videos now 💕😎😎😎😎😎😎🎉💖
😋❤️❤️❤️
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle thank you 🙏🥰
I really wish Honda would put their horn switch in the same place as everyone else.
Not everyone 🤪 I do the same thing whenever I get on a Yamaha or a Kawasaki
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Really? My Triumph has it set up the same way as my Yamahas, Kawasakis and Suzukis did. The only one that was different was the Honda.
This is the bike i'm getting all my driving lessons for my licence on.
SMOOTHNESS is directly related to piston count and how they engineer out vibrations with counterbalancing. The MT07 is the only bike in your list that has a 270 degree crank P-twin, so its more like a V-twin, I own one, its one of the more rougher feeling engines but the engine throttle feel is still smooth but your hands and butt will feel some vibes. Remember your Triumph Street Triple R 675 and the Honda CB650R have MORE pistons so smoother operation, your Triumph has 3 cylinders and the Honda has 4! Triples and inline-fours also feel super smooth compared to twins and singles. One more thing, you Triumph Street Triple R 675 is BY FAR the most powerful bike and in my opinion isn't in the same class, it has like between 50% to 90% more horsepower than all those bike you tested.
Thank you for explaining the specs behind everything I was feeling 😁
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle sorry I am such a nerd. I love your videos and watching your journey as you grow as a rider and moto content creator! I wish I could get to ride as many bikes as you do. Dealers here in South Africa aren't as willing to let people test ride or "review" bikes. Stay awesome and humble as you are!
Love that neo cafe racer and the cb1000r is a beauty especially the black edition.
I know this is a bit old but I just bought a 2022 CB650R (as my first bike) with 3200km on it. I'm in Canada so I'm not sure how many bald Eagles that is on an American odometer, but the bike is in Cherry condition, I have to pickup my plates tomorrow so I can finally ride for hopefully at least a month and then I'll have all winter to do everything I want to it before spring.
Woah , small world. I work there ! 😂 love your videos , hopefully you saw my bike parked there that day
Excellent review Doodle! I am about the same height and i had the opportunity to get a used cbr650r version - i am on my tip toes but the bike weighs so little, it's not really an issue. I have the opposite problem from you, every time i try to hit the horn when a pensioner car driver pulls out in front of me, i press the indicator instead so am powerless to vent my righteous frustration
Ahh!! 😅 well congrats on that bike!!
Hondas may cost a little more than most manufacturers but they are smooth and reliable.
Run forever & always start
Have one from 1st of March. I did 5000km to 13th of September. 0 problems.
Girl I’m so damn jealous wtf you’ve got a “Honda education center”. Seriously thinking of moving around there after my tail of the dragon visit
C’mon!! 😃
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle I’m just trying to find a place that will be cool at night as long as possible through the year. So a place in the mountains I guess
Hi Doodle, I've been riding for 45 years without an accident, and I'd like to make a suggestion to you. First of all, many bike accidents in which a car is involved happens because motorcycles are less noticeable. You may have even experienced having a car driver almost pull out in front of you. I've owned eleven motorcycles over the years, and my current one is a 2013 Yamaha FJR1300a. On my last 4 motorcycles I installed driving lights, mounted low, so they don't blind people, but still make me visible. At the least, even when I didn't have driving lights, during the day I always have on my high beam. 98% of the time, no one flashes their lights at me, and the reality is that it's saved my life a few times. The other thing is, I always try to stay in a position in traffic that gives me the best visibility. In other words, when I'm riding, my goal is to be seen. I stay out of blind spots, when on multi-lane roads like the interstate I avoid being in a clump of traffic, rather I try to make sure there's at least one lane open on either side of me.
OH, and BTW, I too live in the Atlanta area. I'm in Henry county, about 32 miles south east of Hartsfield Jackson Airport.
Thanks for your videos, I enjoy them, and if an old guy can pay a compliment, I think you're cute as can be. So there...... Have a nice day.
I've been looking forward to this one! I just started riding this year and my purchase choices came down to the Trident, Z650 and CB650R (with the Duke 390 as an outlier choice). I got the Honda and couldn't be happier - though in truth I epxect I would have also enjoyed the other two. This one is very approachable for a new rider as it needs more revs than its competitors to make power. Keep it below 7k rpm and a little bit of newbie clumsiness with the throttle wouldn't blast me to the moon. And as I got more comfortable and confident on the bike I could incrementally explore the higher revs where the party really happens. I'll eagerly await your full review on this one.
Also keep in mind that Honda almost always is more expensive than the competition. Not sure it it always worthy it...but they'll keep charging more as long as people are willing to spend more.
@@hawkrider88 well they tend to be more expensive than other Japanese brands, but at least in my market, the CB650R and Trident were essentially the same price. And the flip side of your comment about people continuing to pay their asking price - that's what market value is. It's the price the market will bear for a given product.
Now you know how to recognise someone who is riding a Honda for the first time.
😂
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle tuuut.
Honda rider here. I tuuut on every single bike.
It's smooth because of that in-line 4 engine. A in-line 2 or 3 it's harder to equilibrate.The more balanced an engine is, the less vibration it operates, resulting in a longer engine life.
I LOVE my mt07. She's a bit herky jerky on the throttle. The suspension is pretty bad. No TC or ride modes. The seat is an unforgiving plank. But god, the engine is absolutely addictive! The riding position is ideal. The stock Michelin Road 5's are excellent. It just feels grunty and sporty and fun. The bike has so much personality, which is rare for the 700cc parallel twin category IMO.
You forgot to mention on the walk around at the start the most iconic part is the 4 pipes comig out of the engine because its a straight 4 cylinder. Not a two banger
"A whole frackin month" that's hilarious! I love Doodle's content. I thought the channel use to be called Doodle on a Noodle though. Did the name change?
I like this honda cb650r simple but beautiful 😍
I'm a taller rider 6' and I love my cb 650r. I'm sure there are better bikes but you'd be hard pressed to prove it to me. Love the video keep up the great riding
Honda has the 650cc class nailed down
Hey doodle any way you could do a review on the Yamaha MT09 SP or Honda CB1000R sometimes in the future? There aren’t many female rider reviews and perspectives on those bikes. It’s mostly all chest pounding guys that review those. I feel like they are such awesome bikes because they’re not as crazy as an empty 10 or other leader bikes they’re kind of just in that sweet spot where it’s like a middleweight bike that went to the gym and even though the Honda is 998cc it’s tuned way more chill and not all in your face like the other liter naked bikes. Would absolutely love a doodle review of those 2 bikes. Take care and ride safe
I’ll try!
Can't wait to see a comparison with Triumph Trident 660!!!!!!
Very smooth and powerful !!
Love that bike , looks amazing
Fist, I really like your vlogs and I have even learned some mental stuff from it.
All the talk about smooth engines in your vlogs has got me question my unconditional love to my KTM 690 Enduro R 2012. Today I took a ride in a small town just to see, yes my bike is all but smooth, but so fun. I always have the most responsive mapping active, have to use the clutch a lot in slow speeds but it works well. I got the last model free of ABS and such stuff. Some like it smooth, some like it rough 😊.
Yea the KTM Duke 390 was pretty rough but so light and leans so easy I loved it!!
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Exactly, its very much about weight and balance. A one cylinder motor is just so much lighter but of course not so smooth.
like Saaraazh, she really knows how to use the throttle and clutch in sync ruclips.net/video/OiR-gA0tDwM/видео.html
And Arttu Stenberg ruclips.net/video/OR6gfpSltyE/видео.html
I absolutely dislike short naked bikes but when i saw this honda (i'm son of honda even if i have yamaha) i loved it... Test ride soon !
Very good review 👍
Thanks! I was wondering about this bike.
Subscribed - love your vids
What's funny is that it looks like what I've made my fz6r into over time, but with the fit and finish of a factory production... And without the rusty chain of my laziness lol.
I still prefer my giant has tank tho, that's why I'm still on it.

Doodle can you talk more about engine differences when you compare bikes. Nice video. Have a ninja 650 and wanted to hear you prospective on how engine builds power
Hey doodle,i had a 2018 Kawasaki z 650 but recently sold it.a 650 is the perfect size for me.there torquey fast and lots of fun to ride!
Like your videos, and are looking for a new 600 so all input is helpful, thanks.
Nice ride
Congrats
Ride safe always.
My bike!!! 😍 such a good ride, but it is heavy. The pipes are the prettiest part.
I’m not a huge fan of naked bikes. I’ve had a couple but I prefer fairings. That does seem like a great bike though. And the horn definitely works! Lol!

Omggg 😂😂
Went w/ 2021 ninja 650 💪🏻
Aggressive styling got me 🤤
I missed the turn signal for the horn the first week as well! Glad you like the bike. 👍
P.S vibrations are due to inline 4 :)
Glad I wasn’t alone!
Hi Doodle! Love your video’s!
Love your comments!
These days, the name of the motorcycle has little to do with where it is made. Honda's are made all over the world. They once had a motorcycle factory in the US. Triumphs are mostly made in Thailand, as are many Honda, Kawasaki's, etc. The KTM 390's and BMW 310's are from India. What really matters is the quality control.
I gave my sister some grief because she showed me "Hans", her Volkswagen GLI Autobahn. It was made in Mexico, so I suggested that maybe José would be more appropriate --- then I ran.
LOL
Sounds like a compliment to me 🤷🏻♂️
I have a 2018 cb650f and love it
Decent review fro your perspective-this bike is not for the way you ride--the power and fun factor is way past 7000 rpm and to maintain optimum torque-cruising at 6000 is a good thing at any speed--so to get the most from this wonderful bike a person needs to enjoy a spooled up engine-myself I like low end torque or high and can adapt easily but I think most don’t --these 4’s are great and indestructible--good review
Crazy that some people have a topspeed of 240km an hour on this bike.
Thanks Doodle. Keen to see how it goes and particularly how the CB handles in the mountains compared to the MT07 and also how the power compares.
Can’t wait!!!!
The cb has more top end power, just under 100hp if I remember correctly. But the MT has a LOT more usable torque across the Rev range thanks to the 270° crank and bigger bore cylinders.
