      @@Englishbikerdan - Got it last Saturday. The difference in torque is amazing compared to my old CB300 single. I can pull from 25kms/hr in 6th gear with ease. It is such a silky smooth engine. I bought the shiny black one because blue is not available here in Australia. But at least I can wear any colour gear, as everything goes with black! I also looked at the Ninja 650 - but that would meant wearing green only. It was a good bike but lacked the latest tech that the CB650R has e.g. instrumentation, LED lighting, traction control, slipper clutch and 4 piston stoppers. And the twin-engine is just simply not in the same league as the Honda.
      Above all else, it's a great head turner. I had a guy on the replaced CBB650F comment to me on just what a difference the new headlight and other changes had made to the overall mystique of the bike.

I almost sure that I want the CB650R and I plan to keep it for at least 5 years but I am worried that it may be a big power drop.

Thelma I used some 90 degree weld L's for electrical conduit on and the flow increased massively but the sound was only a little louder. You could do this with your stock muffler and none would be the wiser being you will still retain the road legal info stamped in by Honda. Congrats you bought what I'm looking to buy.

    Mate, maybe stupid question, but how tall you are? I was recently checking the Suzuki GSX-S 750 and I llok quite big on it even I am just 1.80m tall (96kg), so I am wondering if maybe this bike would suite me better?
    But nice vid anyways, enjoy this beauty. Cheers

      Hey Peter, I'm a bit shorter than you at 5'8". I can't really say if it would suit you better as it's quite subjective. I do love the look of the GSX-S 750 and I was tempted by one but I just love the retro look of the CB650R. Thank you!

    Maybe it's just me, I really don't mind the bit that sticks the number plate out the back, and yes I guess it does stop the back of your helmet getting a bit dirty ;) oooh er !
    I had a test ride of the CBR650R . Very nice engine and gearbox, but possibly because I'm an old git, I just can't handle sports bike riding position for that long. Dealer didn't have a CB650R naked to test ride.
    I did also test ride the CB1000R naked upright, yeah it's faster, but the riding positon was nice and comfy for me.
    In a choice out of CB650R naked or CBR650R sports, I'd have the naked one with comfy position, and I do think the "neo sports cafe" look is good. Definitely one of the best looking mid weight modern nakeds. I learnt on the baby CB125R, which I really did like the look of.
    I think the CBR looks good to me, I didn't mind it having the same rear end, it's just the sports bike riding position. Oh how I wish I was 25 years younger !
    Only thing I didn't like on my CB125R was the inverted LCD, my old git eyes really needed something a bit more visible. How do you find the display ?

    In terms of the tail tidy, I'm going to ask them if they can fit the CB1000R's tail tidy instead, its basically a second hugger that fits around the back of the wheel. Depends on which look you prefer i guess, but i prefer the 1000R's look. (Also, love the blue, but think I'm going for the black one tbh, i think its because the black/bronze reminds me of the R Nine-T, and i think it looks fantastic)

      For me yes but I have history with the MT07 and while I do love that bike, I had too many issues to go back. However I know many MT07 owners who don't have any issues so maybe I just got unlucky. They are both great bikes, I would say the MT's engine is more punchy, especially low down but it depends what you like. The suspension, brakes, electronics and build quality are all better on the CB/CBR in my opinion. Good luck with your choice!

      After several years on 4 wheels I felt I wanted to get back to 2 so had some refresher training sessions to check my motivation and confidence. I was planning for the CB500F and had a session on it and loved it. But the instructor suggested I also try the CB650R. First half of the ride I was a little overawed by its power. Second half I grew in confidence and started to really enjoy the x2 greater power. Today I've placed an order for the 650. Find a training school Ben that will let you have an hour on the 650.
