I really want to like the Hornet, but I don’t. Honda is trying to compete with Yamaha and keep costs down… In the end we all have different boxes to tick and it’s awesome that there is so much to choose from. My 2023 CB650R fits me greatly. Im not a tall person so Im never cramped. I love the looks of it. It’s fast when I want it to be and smooth and docile when wanting as well. It feels premium, making me feel I own something with value. Yes, it’s not perfect, but what is? There would be nothing left after perfection… In the end we could own 100s of motorcycles in a lifetime and they would all have different characteristics.

All the reviews frown on the Cb650r but anyone who rides them loves them, that’s why I bought one. You gotta keep the revs high and stay in the power band. It’s a different riding style than the 2 cylinder bikes where you have less room to the redline and lots of torque down low. But I don’t want low down torque in the city bc it’s too jerky.
Owned the 650. The midrange was infuriatingly gutless. Yes it's fun revving the crap out of it, but it gets old when every time you pin the throttle under 8000rpm you get nothing and feel like you're waiting for the power. I now own an older Er6f/Ninja 650 and I honestly MUCH prefer the Kawi motor.
I drove the cb650R through europe 6-7000km for 3 weeks. inline 4 8is fun when u have speed limits that are in the 80+km an hour. then its fun. it comes to live when you closing in on the speed limits. and that is quite a bad thing unless you want to risk it. Not a good bike to pass other cars i felt like. because it takes about 1 sec before the power kicks inn. so you have to decide to drive fully agressive or just cruise. the hornet i feel like you can make quick desicions and be fine. because power kicks in early. just my two cents
the cb650R on the other hand.... a masterpiece. I don't think the hornet is horribly ugly, but it does look like a.. hornet. Not my first choice of design.
Haha so you only look at the bike then, they're meant to be ridden and the Hornet kicks ass, that unicam set up like the CR's will make you forget its looks! Which isn't that ugly as you want it to be.
@@ridehead8771 lol people are more about looks than performance today. It's the same thing in the pc gaming world. I see people buying gen 4 pc"s which are over 10 years old but because the seller puts a old motherboard in a new case with fancy rgb lights people will buy outdated hardware . never understood it .
Hornet 750 would be an absolute gem if they had squeezed 650's four cylinder engine in it, and honda would make a killing. I personally consider hornet 750, but I can't live with a parallel twin and would definitely chose 650R even if it is more expensive.
Haha, that naming is awful from my point of view. I know it comes after generations of small differences but it's mad when you consider CB750, CB650R, and even CBR650R and CBR600RR are all current models!
Same here, albeit the CBR650R. I will admit though that at 6'4, the cramped knee angle and bent forward sporty riding position has me looking to change it for something larger with a more upright position. I will state that the 650 is a high quality machine and the engine is a class act. New models get the TFT, too.
Das habt ihr gut gemacht ! Das gefällt mir ! Das wird ein super Joker ! International ! Ein professioneller Sprecher, sprechen lassen 😊! Gruss Cb 650R 😊. Thailand 1959.
I owned 2 CB650R and 2 CB750 Hornet. Aesthetically I prefer the CB650 but when it comes to riding for fun and even short to medium distancie trips I'll take the Hornet any day.
Good review and video over all but the narrator should practice reading manuscript with a bit more flow. All the praise of the Hornet is probably correct but redundant since it is so ugly I would not be caught dead on it. Cheers
For future reference please refer to these bikes as 650 (six fifty) and 750 (seven fifty). NOT six hundred and fifty and seven hundred and fifty, there is no need to keep mentioning hundred as it was grating and irritating and takes to long to annunciate when it's perfectly obvious which model you are referring to.
If only the 750 would look like the 650😅 I really want a CB1000R but way to expensive. The 650 is not powerfull enough and the 750 doesn’t look that good.
@@danniedwards5750it’s a cool bike! But for a naked it is simply too powerfull. It has more power than you can put on the road, and topspeed is way higher than you can use because the air drag will pull you of the bike😅 but when you don’t drive like a hooligan it’s a very smooth and civil bike. It’s very nimble for a liter bike, seating position is very good and it all feels very balanced. But my dream bike would be this bike, with this looks and handling, but with the V4 engine from the VFR800. It sounds way better and has more torque in the lower revs.
I prefer the tourquee twin in the 750 . I own the 500 twin version and low to medium range rocks. it's quick not fast and can't imagine what the 750 feels like with almost double the power. 650 is for your what the neighbor thinks. i could careless what it sounds like or if it looks beefer . most will replace the exhaust with aftermarket anyways. I still have the stock pipe and will stay with it because i don't like overly loud bikes plus it keeps it's value with original parts.
The Hornet is about being fun, cheap and accessible. What’s „fun” changes, and I agree with the direction they’ve chosen. I see why you might want to call the CB650r a real H. Hornet, but none said that 4 cylinders and a round headlight is what constitutes the Hornet.
@@redminute6605 what about the multiple Hornets with round headlights and four cylinder engines 😂?There is also a new hornet coming out with a 1000 cc's and four cylinders. No round headlights though.
@@no_name4080 You can't have horsepower without torque. Unless you go for unlimited RPMs. I like a good balance of torque and high RPMs. That's why I'm considering to get the new CB650R, now that they got rid of that horrible lcd. 😅 But let me tell you, I've ridden a Diavel in town, which has alot more torque than the Hornet, and had no problems with snappiness. But maybe It's me, that I'm used to drive twins. 🙄
CB750- It's a Parallel Twin Cylinder engine. It has 2 big cylinders and is gonna make more power lower in the RPM and more torque kinda like a V-twin or Harley engine. CB650- inline 4 cylinder engine makes less torque low down in the RPM and more power in the high RPM. Most 4 cylinder bikes make more HP than 3 cylinder or 2 cylinder bikes with the same size engine. A 2024 kawasaki ZX636 makes 115hp-4 cylinder KTM 990 super duke makes 120hp-2 cylinder
The inline4 will always win in my view. No matter how good the 750 is. The scream of 4 cylinders is the best

Test rode both back to back ordered the hornet right after. I love the comfort and the agility of it. More efficient as well
If they bring the CB750 as a neo retro cafe to the USA, I want it because it'd remind me of my old CM450 that I cafe'd a long time ago
They Had put a nice swingarm, a 180 rear and a less generic headlight, it would have been the perfect one

The four hundred exhaust is a work of art
The 650 looks much better, is just elegant. The Hornet is good but unfortunately a generic esthetic.
I've tried to make myself like the 2023 Hornet, especially for the price, but I just can't do it, it's fk ugly, and looks cheap and small.
the cb650R on the other hand.... a masterpiece.

You cannot compare two cylinders with inline 4 ,

@@xBlitzzOfficial I think you are right since you mention it
Looking forward to the CB800F....!
The lack of electronics is a positive for cb650r.
Beautiful road & landscape.
Cb 650r for me, neo sports cafe, more premium feel, less electronics for less trouble, simply beautiful.

Was sick of my 4 cylinders, it's annoying to go high RPM to get power. Torquey 2 cylinders work best for road usage, and 4 for track
V4 I have torque, torque, and torque.
We don't "drive" motorcycles. Just sayin'.

Never

Sorry the in-line four exhaust
Don't want tech.

The 1000 SP is an inline 4 too..
Like the look of the hornet.
750 looks just like the cb500f with a different color scheme. cb650r is the real looker.
Crostian coast is one of beautiful places on Earth
Pressure?
Ratchets?
Drizzle?

CB650R wins all around IMO. Better quality too
The AI voiceover is weird man.
Would you prefer his native language where you can't understand what he says or his crappy English accent where you can't understand what he says?
Well, you got five likes. 😂
The 750 plus point is 'powerful engine' yet the CB did not have that as a plus. The CB makes more power with 100cc less!!!!! What's that about?
The Hornet has more torque.
And so it should being a bigger engine.@@MacAlex007
@@no_name4080 The people that made the vídeo. Probably that's the reason why they gave a plus to the Hornet engine and not the CB.
@@no_name4080 You can't have horsepower without torque. Unless you go for unlimited RPMs.
I like a good balance of torque and high RPMs. That's why I'm considering to get the new CB650R, now that they got rid of that horrible lcd. 😅
But let me tell you, I've ridden a Diavel in town, which has alot more torque than the Hornet, and had no problems with snappiness.

CB750- It's a Parallel Twin Cylinder engine. It has 2 big cylinders and is gonna make more power lower in the RPM and more torque kinda like a V-twin or Harley engine.
CB650- inline 4 cylinder engine makes less torque low down in the RPM and more power in the high RPM.
Most 4 cylinder bikes make more HP than 3 cylinder or 2 cylinder bikes with the same size engine.

The hornet styling is fugly.
