Most beautiful motorcycle I've ever seen. I will own one one day mark my words
lol you were obviously born yesterday
Lmao
I believe in you
Just got done test driving this bike very nice in very fast.
Who care 🥱
i bought this bike in may of 2021. Amazing little bike. Ive owned Harleys, Hondas, Kawasaki. Ive never had a bike handle like this. Its very poised. It goes where you tell it to...every time. You come out of the corner the same way every time. You feel good the whole way through the turn. If you think you want one bad? Get one.. Its not the fastest bike on the market by a long shot. But it will take you sweetest ride. And it looks incredible. I love mine. I would recommend this unit to anyone who wants a great ride.
I just bought one and I have to say you can ride it all day long. It will cruise or you can give it some throttle and let it rip. The seat is very comfortable and you can ride almost fully upright.
22C is hot? Damn that's my AC temp to stay cool
22C is fucking unbearable
It barely goes below 25C during summer in my area.. with very high humidity. lol
Meanwhile here in South Africa it's nearly 40 degrees Celsius during the day and it's winter....

48 degress in Delhi, India for the past two weeks!
This looks like a 2019 version of the beloved CBR600F4i: a comfortable and faired sportsbike for the streets with ~100 hp. It's so hard to find a new inline-4 bike with LED lights under $10k USD, but Honda have done it.
Adam-Wade I said the same thing. I feel like this is the new f4i
@@EazyTheRecon
Difference that the F4I was only one notch under the more Race Replica-esque models of the competition at the time, this thing is nowhere near the front of the pack
Thats what I said, I loved and miss my F4i
@@Nightdare f4i does 160mph this probably tops out at 135 was looking at getting a f4i but think will be to much bike for me where as the 650r seems softer on acceleration
@@socialising6037
The F4I is a 600, doesn't even have 100hp at the wheel
As long as you're not launching at WOT, it can be as gentle as your right hand dictates it
Would the 650r be your first bike?
Thanks for the review picked mine up a few weeks ago as my first bike and couldn’t be happier with my purchase
I have a 2017 CBR1000RR and a 2016 CBR500R, yet I can’t stop thinking of this bike. The 2019 CBR650R fixes the few things wrong with the 500, mainly in the power department. I bet this is the kind of bike you can rack up some serious miles on.
I'd love the Fireblade but lack of comfort would stop me riding it as much.
I own a CBR500R, It does need more power when you're on the highway going 120km/h, i may upgrade to a 650R...
A cbr 250rr would even caught up to a 500 😂 its only 7hp gap in power but 250 weight 40+lbs less
That rear seat cowl makes the bike look way better,
Nice review mate
Yeah really transforms it. Thanks 👍
I've got this bike (in Australia), and totally love it. Your review was a major factor in my purchase. I love the way you filmed this review and matched the music too. I think I've watched the review 50 times already, and still enjoy seeing it. Thank you.
Thanks David, glad you enjoyed my work on this one! Appreciate you watching it.
How are you finding the ride of the LAMS version so far? I'm conflicted between this or the 2022 cbr500r
@@hypasheep I love this bike. I’d definitely choose this over the 500cc if you can. While I wish it was derestricted, there’s more than enough power for plenty of fun. I’m still toying with the idea of getting it derestricted though. Mostly worried about how this might affect my licence 😂🤣
I also love the Matt black colour with the devil red highlights. It looks wicked.
I have the naked version, and prefer it actually, but I must say that aesthetically, of course the sport version looks cooler.
I guess the trade-off is, is that the naked version can be customized to be a lot more comfortable + adding saddlebags etc. While the sport version looks better with the wind screen + is maybe aerodynamically better overall.
Either way, can't go wrong picking one over the other, you'll get the typical Honda quality experience.
I’m confused which one to get. I can’t find a cb650r anywhere they are all sold out
I currently own an MT09 which I've had for about 2 years now. I looked at the previous version of this bike before buying the MT09 but somehow I keep coming to view this new 650R, i just love the look of it 😍
Yeah it's a real pretty bike! Totally different power to the MT09 though. You might crack the throttle on the 650 and go "Dude, where the engine at?".
The Honda 650 stock exhaust looks and sounds really nice.
Just got my cb650r today. Took me some time to adjust to the slightly higher centre of gravity compared to my Tracer. Police were everywhere (sunny day). But no desire to go too fast anyway. Love it. It has enough torque down low to get through city bits without a problem and enough power to give me a Cheshire Cat smile on open roads. I would have bought an MT09 if not for prohibitive insurance cost. But, apart from the initial torque rush, the 650 is just as much fun and is more forgiving of shoddy riding. Love it. The quickshifter is superbo and is a necessary part of the pleasure of riding the bike. Tail tidy and a softer setting on the rear suspension next.
Plus, the suspension on the 650 is much stiffer.
Lovely middle weight bike and it's a Honda, enough said. Good review and nice to hear Dan say; "I don't want to drop the bike because it is not mine, whilst getting off the gravel infested road". Respect in the right sense of the word. They seem to do that scraping-off-tarmac everywhere. Cheap solution to make it look as if they make the roads better I suppose but it makes it worse and very dangerous whilst causing paint damage etc to the bike, God forbid if you come off it.
I agree about the size-issue. This bike have all the power one need. And I agree about the fun-factor too, for those newbeginners and experienced riders. I've been riding for 36 years and I bought one CB650R. And one A2 for my son. :-) Traded my BMW and a bag of money.
Nice to meet you. this is my favorite bike. I drive around every day.
Just picked up mine in the Red on thursday, absolutely loving every minute of it! Stunning looking bike and a great joy to ride. Another great video!
Enjoy your bike! Thank you :)
Sat on one today.. absolutely stunning motorcycle. It has all the looks of a supersport with way more comfort. Sick bike. I'll wait till the price comes down.
Love how he blurs the speedometer when it goes over the speed limit 🤣🤣🤣 he’s his own lawyer
No it's a special feature of the speedo 😂
I'm thinking this needs to be my first big bike when I've done the DAS, stunning looking machine and fantastic value
The number plate hanger is ridiculous, definitely needs a tail tidy!
Definitely 👍
Exactly!!!!
All new bikes come like that
EU regulation is the reg plate must the the furthest point of the bike, that's why all bikes come like that lol.
Well if you dont plan to splash some puddles then
Best review for CBR650R!The best ride with view!!!I think I am ready to buy a new 2022 girl like this! Gongrats
You might have just sold me on CBR. It seems like such a fun middleweight
I really appreciate the comments about body comfort such as weight on the wrist and also whether you get pains in the back. That to me could be a deal breaker. In the 90's I had a FZR600 and I could still feel the pain in my wrist and back, even thinking about it. brilliant review though
Thanks! Appreciate it. I've had one if of these from Honda UK for a couple of months, so look out for a long term review of this bike soon.
3:02 The front profile reminds me of a mantis. Definitely a cool look. Very slender as well.
Turning 19 and I will get this bike! 100% putting my mind on it absolutely stunning and good power.
Nice one, you'll love it!
@@Englishbikerdan I hope so!
Hey bro is this a first good bike purchase? I’m planning on buying one for college or what do you recommend bc I’m new to this stuff lmao and I’m 18 btw
( I was also thinking about a Kawasaki ninja but idk which is better)
@@ybbetter2315 Ninja has less power and I dont like the sound but if you're new to bikes i wouldn't recommend this, 18 you can't ride this bike in UK.
Man I waited sooo long for this video and finally my prayers have been answered!
Awesome bike and Awesome review 👍👍
Thanks for your patience!
Red and black is my favorite color combo ever so I'm like drooling over this bike.
SOMEBODY SAY FREEDOM - so you're dribbling? That's like drooling.
Glad you enjoyed the bike and to hear your giggles makes me more excited to get mine! Lovely quick review as usual 👍🏼
You’re so right about that gravel, a biker’s worst nightmare!
I have this model bike, In the same colour to. Was made in 2020. It is a fantastic motorcycle. Handles so well & corners really good. My favourite rev range is 7,000. Best of all I never had to change the exhaust out of the box as it sounds fantastic & I not plan to change it as I not want to go deaf while riding. I will be getting the oem quickshifter & heated grips installed. I might also see about the rear seat bag in future.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with your CBR. It's a great bike!
I grew up in that area. They are great roads to ride/drive on. Nice work as always
what area is that? looks beautiful. i live in city, would be cool to have a little drive there someday ...
@@qo7864 It's on the borders of Surrey and Hampshire in England.
I had a hard time deciding between this or the CB650R. Ended up getting the CB650R for slightly more comfortable ergos. The CBR does look very nice though. My QS should arrive soon too.
Fantastic review mate 😁 this is just compounding my decision to get this next year.
I really loved it when I tried it and looks sick 😉 hate the tyres though 😏
Honestly normally I shy away from video reviews that are “long” aka more than 10-12min but you just make them so nice and easy to watch @EnglishBikerDan thank you!
And you’re clearly a man of good taste owning a CB650R 😏 (can you guess what bike I own? Haha)
Thanks Pierre, yes, most people get bored long before 20 mins but it's diffucult to get everything in that I want to say in 10mins. Thanks for watching, you have great taste too! :D
Some one finally said it panigalesque. Great vid.
Thanks, yeah I thought that instantly when I saw it. Although not sure if Ducati are making their bikes more Japanese or the other way around!
The front reminds me of the Supersport S
Well, the new Fireblade was designed by Italians. This is heavily influenced by the 'Blade so, not such a silly comparison.
This design came from DN01
I read somewhere ducati copied honda in 80s. I think in a YT channel called YammieNoob.
Late to the party here. I love the quick part where you see “SLOW” painted on the road and the speedometer blanked out! Reminds me of “Top Gear” where Clarkson is absolutely flying and they cut to the dash reading “35 mph.”
Awesome video! Love the quality! However, I do have one question for you. How tall are you? I've been looking at the CBR650R for a while now and I am curious if I will be able to fit on this bike if I am 5'8"?
It's fitted average talls
I'm 5'8" too and can flat foot it. You'll be fine. 👍
Currently doing my DAS and was pretty set on a CB650r then i went into the Honda garage the other day and saw the CBR650r. I never thought id entertain a fully faired sportbike but man that thing looks incredible.
@Michael Moretti I only saw the black and i'd want to see the red in person before i decided but from pictures alone i think black looks better.
I was the same, always avoided faired bikes. Went from CBF125 to CB500F, then was set on upgrading to the CB650Fs, but saw and sat on a CBR650F at the dealers and had to get that instead. Put 34k miles on it and it's been a blast, but someone drove into it recently, think it's gonna be a write-off :(... But once the claim settles I'm fully set on upgrading to the new model 650Rs. The CB is gorgeous mind, but I'm converted, sports bikes are just way nicer in the corners IMO, and easier to filter on, and no wind blast at speeds. Can't wait to get back on a bike man.
Great review, can't wait to upgrade my 500R to this.
It's a beautiful bike. I have 2012 CBR 600F. I wish I could ride the 650R just to feel how it is, maybe someday, but I don't think about buying one because I like my bike.
Mines the 2011 cbr600f & i love it, does everything i need it to, had it 5years & it never misses a beat. But like you i'd love to try this bike & feel the difference.

Probably the best looking in its class
My CBR650R arrived two weeks ago, going off your CB650R review before this you were absolutely spot on.
She's a beast.
Nice one Dan!
(She'd be even better if you happen to give away an akra! 🙃)
Haha, sadly I can't afford to give that away. Glad you're enjoying yours, I have to admit I'm really loving the CBR's looks.
@@Englishbikerdan haha, I get it, they're pretty pricey!,
Everyone I meet seems to think it's a new blade or a 1000 until they spot the 650 sticker,
only thing I'd say is they should put a tail tidy as standard as the original looks a bit mental.
@@shell6723 Yeah not cheap but it sounds good. Although...... not sure it would look right on the CBR. I would prefer a standard side mounted exhaust on a sportsbike. It does look just like the 'Blade!
@@Englishbikerdan for sure, the standard suits it more than an akra or widow does, problem is whenever you upload with your 'forest ride past' intro it tempts me hugely to get one of them fitted 😬,
Honda's nailed it this time i think.
@@shell6723 mate do you know where i can buy the cowl at ?
What a beauty. Thanks for taking us along.
Hi Dan, Greetings from Msia. I'm enjoying every bits of it at the moment !
Thank you ☺️
I like its design and engine sound
Great, your the best Dan. I'm down the dealers on Monday for a test ride.
Your content is top notch, keep it up, this channel is going places!
Thank you, I do it for fun but it would be great to grow. 👍
Looks so much better with the rear seat cover. Are they expensive? Easy to remove etc? So want one of these bikes. My DAS is next month. Nervous farts are kicking in already 😳 Live in Hampshire, not too far down the road from you.
I personally prefer naked/cafe/bobber bikes, I'm the proud owner of a yamaha XSR700. Not usually a fan of sport fairings... However, that is a very attractive bike!
I hope you will be able to test bikes more often
I love this type of videos
Great review by the way
Something very special being tested on Monday...... 😁
EnglishBikerDan Looking forward for that man 🤙🏼
Great review! I'm definitely looking at picking one of these up. Love the matte black color.
You are the first review I've read/seen that said anything at all good about the tires though. So far everyone else hates the tires.
Yeah, in the dry they were great. No confidence issues. In fact, I felt more confident than on my Metzeler Roatec that are on my CB650R. I think Dunlop have made some very bad OEM tyres over the years so people tend to hate on them.
Use the same tyres as the ninja 650, okay in the dry and warm, any low temp < 10c which lets face it in the UK, is alot of the year and damp conditions, again, I the UK is alot, they're terrible, I changed mine after 1000 miles, looking to change bikes to the CBR650R , but them tyres putting me off.
Brand New bike, would have to get new tyres and tail tidy.
Cool video! Nice bike. What do you think, should I get this one or CB650R or Yamaha MT-07?
What did you go with?
@@Playaboy5 CB650R
I tested one last week... I really enjoy it... next Summer Im gonna get one :)
Good to see passion grow into a great RUclips channel .
Thank you 👍
the dash is blurred when hitting high speeds. isn't it the reason why it's hard to read? 🤔
@10:29 I was just there today on my practicals and recognised from this video. Lovely roads around those parts.
Watching from america and it gave me so much anxiety seeing the cars come at you from the right side😂
I never liked the red colour so I never considered this bike. But now I’m this spec. I’m going to buy this
Among my dream bikes..
My ride is a Harley-Davidson Breakout 17, although to ride daily I needed something more nimble and lighter for my town, so I bought a month ago the new CBR 650R in black, so far I am very very happy with the bike, its my first sport bike, basically I had to "learn" how to ride again since the riding position is so different from my HD and of course much lighter. Just the consumption I dont know how they came up with the 4.7L because the minimum I can do so far is 5,6 L but I don't care hahaha bike is just very fun, enough power for me and overall I think its the best in its segment. I checked other 600cc and Honda seemed to be the best choice/price for what I wanted. I fell in love for the looks of the bike, very agressive, the stock exhaust sound is not great, but not bad at all, for a stock. My HD came up with an stock exhaust that seemed like a popcorn machine hahaha, I didnt rest until I changed it to Vance & Hynes. Anyway keep the good job! Cheers from Portugal! ;)
Hey Ricardo. thanks for your comments. That's an interesting bike collection you have! Glad you are enjoying your bikes and the videos. Thanks! EBD
What Seat Cowl is that, where to find it.. Can anyone tell me...That one looks PERFECT on CBR650R
Syakir Iman it’s a honda part
Pretty good to see the versatility of such bikes.
Offering a good medium between comfort and performance.
I finally see it .....
the most wonderful review.
Used one at ron haslam race school at donington.
I was impressed and surprised by the bike.
Very good piece of kit.
Whether is 22degree oh you are living in heaven...
I love the color and style of this bike. I cant find one anywhere.
I'd love to live in a place where 22 degrees is considered hot :P I live in 50 degrees :( nice review btw mate!
Ikr! 😭😭
Hi my 2019 cbr650r is being delivered tomorrow at my works can not wait
How do you like your 650r? Thinking about getting one.
The exhaust sound is sweet.
would love it iif you reviewed the fireblade. Hope you get your hands on that.
Me too!
My dream bike. But I want a blue one
Not available where I live :/
ive got about two more checks to go to get this bike and ive never been more excited for something. sitting on this thing feels like coming home to a christmas tree and drinking hot cocoa in front of the fireplace. i think
anyways lmao, thanks for being instrumental in my choice and my excitement for this new endeavor!
Haha, enjoy it. They look amazing!
nice review brother.. love from India.. ❤️
Hi bro just wanted to know that does the Indian version of cbr650r has quickshifter in it 🤔😊
@@StellarMotive-j8k no brother. but as an accessory u can add it separately.. & indian version of 650r got only 85bhp.. its lower than international verison.
@@Aayansharma7895 thanks bro I am looking to buy this bike and make it in an full track spec
The mirrors are adjusted to the ends of your shoulders for perfect rear view .... give exhaust some time on bike and I bet it’ll be awesome ! I’m looking into this model since ppl on RUclips posting 300cc engines are blowing up on hwys..
Wonderfull 650R. I love those bikes
Great review! Would love to see you do a review on the cbr650f undecided on the cbr650r or the cbr650f
Hope for Japanese bikes to get wild, crazy, and experimental like they used to be in the way back days.
Try an MT10. Mad!!
EnglishBikerDan I bought a stupid street triple instead.
You don't like it? I've been meaning to try one for ages.
EnglishBikerDan - I do like it, but I wish i got something else
Man I want a Triple so bad. I can't afford one any day soon though but one day my guy, that's the dream. 😁
The left side of the road..that would take me a while to get use to
Me too...... Oh wait! 😁😜
someone might've asked , but what is your mic set up?
Sena 20S boom mic in a Shark lid with GoPro 7.
thanks! 😍
that in line 4 made me more excited. nice review. hopung to get mine someday or soon.
I want it I want it I want it I want it
The sad part is that I got the money but the area m going to college snows all the time so not worth getting a bike as a daily driver. :'(
Where r u from?
Hey Dan, as you own a CB650 and have done a long European ride on it, which of the two (CB or CBR) would you prefer for light touring? Does the fairing on the CBR offer better wind protection, even more than your CB650r 'touring version' (I watched that vid too). Cheers
the cbr 650r is so sexy
The Matte black looks amazing. Not sure if I want 2 or 4 cylinders. This is compelling.
I love 4 cylinder sound but it's a harsh price compared to a ninja 650. Then again this is way above the standard of a ninja 650 hard to decide for a first bike though
Krabbenwulst I’m in the same boat....leaning toward this buying a used 2014-2015 cbr. I feel like if I git a ninja I would always be wishing I would have got the cbr. Especially at idle where you can hear the “weak” sounding engine if the ninja. I’m 6’4 260 hoping the cbr fits
this pup looks better than the 1000r.
Zi9makin6 doesn’t ride better I guarantee it.
And alot slower
@@Maskedman167 stoopid we all know 1000cc is faster he only said looks bettrr
Josh Winn yeah stupid
Thanks for the review.Can i start on this? I mean I am not really into the keep for 1 year then upgrade thing and I also don't want something really powerful that is super hard to control.I really like the price and its usefulness both in town and highway
There's no reason why you couldn't. It has a nice smooth power delivery and all the rider aids that are useful. It's not an intimidating bike but at the same time it's a bike you can grow with and get more out of the better you get at riding.
"Do you really need more than 650cc on the road...?"
LOL no. In fact I don't need more than the 300cc I've got now...but I WANT it!
Thanks for sharing. I wish it was as easy to do test runs on bikes here in Ontario Canada. :)
Nice review.
Haha true. I'm currently eyeing up a 1000cc naked! 😂
You should never buy a bike on looks alone, but I did 😍 It's like you're reviewing my bike😀. I did get rid of that hideous tow hook at the back, slapped some crash bungs on it along with the sports pack, and your right, the quickshifter is lovely.
Thanks Dan, I actually chose the black version because of this review (which I've watched at least a dozen times lol). Just love the stealthy look of it. Sometimes when it's sat in the garage I just stare at it, and think how lucky I am.
A message to anyone buying this bike: Get a screen protector as the plastic scratches really, really easily.
She's a beauty, I generally lean more towards naked bikes but I was so tempted to get the CBR!

Cheers Sal 👍
This is one hell of a sexy bike 🤘
Beautiful and the build quality is top notch.
I totally agree!
ghaaaaaaad it's so beautiful!
The laugh at 13.43 was enough to convince me to buy it 🏍️
Haha 😏
Great review. Im never gonna buy a demo bike😂
Why not if priced right. Unless they priced it as brandnew.
that was a really nice stretch of road. I love twisty roads that are tunneled through the tree canopy
