So if y'all want to see how the brakes work on this thing, skip to 28:47 👌
Protip for Sport Bike noobs: If you are intimidated by a supersport style seating position and are scared of putting pressure on your wrists over long distance riding, the tip is to not grab the handlebar tightly with your palms but instead just mildly hold onto it while you grip the tank with your thighs for support instead. In other words, don't support your bodyweight on your wrists, use your thigh to grip yourself onto the bike which eases off pressure from your hands.

For me this is kind of motorcycle riding 101
Thanks for the tip, new rider needing all the help I can get for free$$$😎
A cheater pad off the back panel in the small of your back works wonders for fun and comfort.All you need to do is figure out the thickness and density that makes you feel best and it's cheep enough to try a few of em till you find your happy spot with enough wiggle room to cruise in comfort or a bit of stunting.It's he best of both worlds that I've shown to some of my younger riders and once they tried mine (after signing a liability waiver with a cash bond) :)
Have put them on within the following run and have thanked me more then once...
What a fantastic review! Seriously, who needs journalists and their shenanigans? This review was what we all need but don't deserve. Keep the awesome videos coming.
This is the best review I've come across since the bike was released.
Good Job ✌️
Agree :)
agreed
Awesome to hear your thoughts on this, finally a full uk review of this bike. I have put my money down on one of these bikes and I am really happy with my decision!
I think this is a great review, very honest and ideal for the everyday rider. I’m going to test ride this at the end of this week. Looking forward to it and bet I get one!!
Good straightforward account, covering all the main things you want to know. Glad he said he would buy one, cos I’ve just bought one! Thanks for the video, and best regards!
omg :D finally you review it, i waited review for this bike for so so long.
2:29 Japanese adult video censor style :)))
The mine is coming next week!!! Can’t wait!! ✌🏻🏍
Love the black!
Thank You so much for the review and info it's greatly appreciated. Please keep up your awesome work Mr. Fish!
I’ve been watching your reviews for a while now , just want to mention I like your honesty plan and simple easy to understand keep up the good work or should I say fun reviews .
From Paul
Another good review. Seeing bikes like this, which have great looks, decent performance and genuine all round ability, all for sub £8k, makes me wonder why so many of us (me included!) spend five figure sums on bikes.
Some folks can only "Spout" industry speak....because they lack imagination, want to seem "Expert" etc. Others speak their mind, to their friends or audience and can also explain extemporaneously with some comedy thrown in! Well done Mr. Fish! You did it again by your mentioning "Steering" a bike with the rear wheel. This makes perfect sense to me! And being a former (And all important "X-pert" ; ) ) when it comes to bicycles etc. this is a great way to explain a given motos purpose etc.! Very well stated and is definitely a part of how a design group approaches "How" a bike is going to be ridden! Sometimes having courage is just the willingness to speak your mind and exploring what you may or may not know! Often, you show the world that you "knew" the whole time! Cheers!
This isn't the sort of bike that appeals to me any more but I enjoyed the review and your style of doing it. I guess we all tend to find vloggers that we like on youtube and I have 3 or 4 I actively seek out. I won't say who the others are because its not a competition but I do enjoy yours. Thank you.
Cant wait till this channels blows up! You need more recognition! Im buying one of these in april, tell ian im coming for my hug haha
Cracking review, one of the best I've seen on YOU TUBE . Like you said the brakes and ABS work really well, you kept your calm very well too, I'm a bit hot headed and I'm a lot smaller than you. 5' 11" and 13.5 stone!
Dave The Biker thanks 👌
Awesome reviews man! Think this will be my next ride! Cheers from Canada
28 plus minutes into the video and man that was close!😬You just never know and you riding at sensible speeds kept you in control. 👍 good stuff. I appreciate all your videos. Very good. I'm thinking Honda for my next bike. 1000rr
Always great content..❤️ From the philippines.. Keep it up sir
I'll be picking up my brand new CB650R on Wednesday next week and I was looking at the forecast. It's gonna be light rain. I'm a bit nervous about riding a brand-new bike with fresh tyres in the wet but seeing you go around those bends like that gives me some confidence that I can cruise around town slowly without too much trouble. Hopefully we will have some clear sky and dry roads so I can properly scrub in the tyres and have a bit of fun.
Great first impressions review.
Wasn't necessary to set up a dramatic, real world brake test 👍😂
Best review so far on the cbr650r 👍
Agree :)
Exceptional review. Excellent breakdown of the cbr650r. I'd have to agree that the rear section is too short. I'd rather they made it a little bit long while shortening the fender kit. Oh and the indicators blib when about to change gears i think.
The bikes are getting nicer and better for learners options.
Just a few weeks before I can get mine. Great review man! 👍
Great vid man! Love that Honda put in a 4 banger haha, sounds good!
I bought it today , will have end of may !
How you enjoying the bike my man ?
Always good reviews! I think Honda did a great job with bike! Nice improvements from the "F". A fender eliminator kit would clean up the bikes look.
First on the CB650R, now first on the CBR650R. Dang. Glad you feel better!
great review, very honest! I've been looking at this bike as a second bike - either this or the older 600RR. Thanks for the great video as always.
The 2011-2013 cbr 600f is a great bike aswell. Got a slightly detuned rr engine aswell. It's a bike that can do it all
oh I've seen a few on these on the road. I think I might book a test ride of each and see which suits me. @@ajmotovideos6779
@@kidlikerizzle do it you wont regret having a ride on the 600f. I've just got a decat for mine and sounds amazing
Great review of the CBR650R Mr Fish and thanks for posting.
Best Regards,
Sir Gissa
great review ! I’m sold this will be my first bike. Cant wait for spring. Winter are rough here in canada
R3D_Squirrel I agree it’s going to be my first sports bike too, great review 😎
I looked at a brand new one today in the showroom and I have to say this bike looks beautiful!
Me too.. Safe riding when you get yours bois!
Not a first bike....learn your skills on a naked..or tourer first
@@stever6542 Anyone Sure you can say not a first bike. But it takes a real reply to explain why YOU think it is not a first bike.
Well done! Thanks from Spain
Great to see it on the country lanes. And I had to Google Stone last year... We never hear that in the US.
Ratchet Rocket
I’m in the U.S., and I use stone all the time... Americans should really get used to using stone, smaller numbers sound skinny and we Americans are a ‘stocky’ bunch!
I think you secretly love this bike! It’s okay to like a Honda! Honda has a new CEO, so look out competitors!!!😎
Any problems like false neutrals get fixed on the first service.
I hate wet muddy roads so does my cbr1000rr,you are a brave man sir
Only see it being offered in red? Is honda not selling the black color they displayed??
I’d really like to see a review from you on the 2019 CBR600RR.
I wonder if the handle bars could be raised a bit more? to aid comfort and push it more into a Sports Tourer?
Do you notice a lot less wind blast on that bike compared to a naked in its class?
And I’m going to this machine from the Africa Twin. Ha! Great video!
British roads scenery are just beautiful :)
I'm an owner of the 2018 cbr 650f. As far as the power, ergonomics and suspension on the R are pretty much the same as the F. Now the front and the dash look much better on the R, but the rear looks much worse. But either one you choose your going to get a great bike.
10K subs nice one bud 👍
If you can could you have a go on the cbr500r??
Hopefully it is just as good as the cbr650r but a little more upright and easier on your wrists
To OP: Since it's build in Thailand, does the bike have any quality issues regarding the construction,? Like gaps or bad materials anywhere? I am seriously considering this bike, thanks in advance for the input.
So would you prefer this over the naked?
So. at 28:49 there.. is that actually a roundabout or what? If it is it's the smallest one I've ever seen. How does it work? Was Fish right of way to just go through? I don't see any stop or yield signs.
We may have a (pre-Mayflower) common ancestor. I also have a CRF250F and I just picked up a 2018 CBR650F ABS for a first-in-30-years bike. I wanted to see for sure what I was missing by getting the earlier version. I'd like to know what those little daggers are for hanging off the edge of the windscreen. Great review. Especially nice heads-up riding at 28:47 - that would be me (doing a rolling right turn) if I came to the UK. At 5'7" & 14.25 stone, the bike seems to fit me well enough. I really wanted the looks of the sporty CBR until I clarified the insurance quote; by then it was too late. I may succumb to my more practical side just to be better insured at some point (full coverage + uninsured motorist = $400us on the CB and $2k+(!) for the CBR - per year. I went without the uninsured coverage for $1k.
Excellent review. What would u choose kawa zx6r or this honda?
Completely different bikes. Guess it would depend on what you look for and want out of a bike. Cause the zx6r is a WHOLE other animal.
What do you think about OEM Dunlop D214 tires? Are they complete garbage ? Did you feel confident on the wet road with them ?
I bet there's lots of road closures in your local. It's the end of the financial year. Use it or lose it. What Mic are u using?
Can you do a review on the ducati Supersport as well. I have that bike and I daily it to and from work everyday. I feel like it's in this cbr's competition. Please and ty
What are the major differences between the CBR 650F and CBR 650R?
What are the differences between the F and R
How did this bike compare with the Honda VFR 800?
great review!
Fun fact: the R on honda means sport-tourer, the RR means race replica.
Minegamer so what does the F mean? As in 650F

Great review
Hi, beautiful video my question is: better this or the gsx 750?? Like speed, torque, comfort, handeling thx
GSX750 is a WHOLE other beast my man! In ALL of the above!
Gsx 750 is a better bike...by far
Your right about the tail section. It's a bit not flowing ,too stubbie and extended section a bit of a bad design!
great test ride!
Did the car driver even look right to see if anything was coming? Seemed to approach the roundabout a little too fast to have a good look if anything was coming...
Another great review, not too sure on how the back end looks though, a little ugly...
Slick reviews
Nice mosaic effect on the gauges. Is that an optional extra or aftermarket? lol
Totally agree with you about the rear, the tail is too short and the number plate holder too long, giving it an odd appearance. Same problem with the naked version.
Any heat issues in legs?
i agree with you about the back end -don't know why honda did that.
Bloody hell.she is a beauty.
Can’t decide between this and a newer ninja 650 is it really worth the extra $ it looks amazing and sounds great but what do you guys think?
Alex Duey ride both then decide
The chronicles of mr fish you do have a point sir.
Alex Duey yes
17:15 the false neuterals are a bit of a Honda thing. Had those problems on my 2013 cbr 125r
It’s amazing how fast 55mph looks on video when the speedo is blurred 🤷🏼♂️
Wish it was 20lbs lighter and 10more hp, not a deal breaker though.
Absolutely agree with the tail, does not belong to a sports bike, Honda needs to do a more aggressive seat cowl.
Jason Guo I hope they will release an aftermarket single seat cowl which can increase the sexiness of the bike
Box hill meet required 🔥
Mr Fish: CBR650R or CB650R What would you buy if you were forced to buy one as your only motorbike?
so its not good for taking the high way for like 2-3 hours on bike? is it too tucked in? im also about your hight...
I wouldn’t take any sport bike on the highway or long journey but that’s me , someone I know rode around the world on one
@@Mrfish2015 good to know, thank you!
Always wonder in this day and age, why all bikes don't have fuel gauges.
10 000 subs 👍
Solid review.
Really want to check one out, but cant find any hint on when it'll be showing up in the US. Im between this or a new Ninja 650. Fortunately the weather is still shitty by me, so I have some time to wait on it still before having to make a decision.
You'll be more pleased with this cbr than the Ninja 650..
@@brayvdb2191 That's what I'm hoping. Just don't know when, or if, we'll be getting them in the States in time for this riding season. Only seems like the international companies here have gotten to see one so far in the last few months, and most reviews here are over 2 months old with no updates with release date on the bike.
The anticipation...... haha
@@Shadowfeaux yeah I feel ya, I had the same thing with my ninja Ninja 400 last year. I was finally able to buy it mid season so didn't get to enjoy out in the sun that much. The wait is a pain..
@@brayvdb2191 *update* I was able to find one, at the first dealership to get them in my area. Got a red one (black isn't available at all unfortunately), but somehow lucked out and scored VIN 000001. Loving it so far. Want some cosmetic pieces, but can't find anyone making them yet. The woes of getting the first in the country, haha.
You've bought the best all rounder Honda in my opinion and red looks better than black anyway. Happy safe riding.
i was already getting a CBR650R but you sold me because we have almost the same body type so thank you
i dont know why honda didnt change the rear to make it more pointed for the 2021 update
You handled that well!
The moron pulling out on you FYI
Beautiful bike😍😍😍😍. I'm glad that it has the Fireblade styling which the previous model was a bit bland looking yet not attractive. However, this one really caught my attention, its just so beautiful😍😍😍. If I wanna buy this bike, I would go for the naked version due the ease of riding the bike and naked bikes always been my favourite😊😊😊.
Not sure shall I go for the bikes like MT07, Ninja 650 or SV650 or choose this bike instead. I always love inline 4 bikes but people always tell me its not suitable for riding in the city and advice me to go for bikes with 2 cylinder like those I mention. So, what's you opinion sir? Shall I go for inline 4 or 2 cylinder bikes?
@Bunnyshooter 223 I will get the Honda over the other parellel twins. This is the only 650cc inline 4 available while others are 2 cylinder. I love inline 4 bikes. They sound like sports car and I could listen to that sound daily as it really made my heart wanna race😎😎😎🏍️🏍️🏍️. I will save up to get this beauty. This new 650R really made me fall in love with her. I will get her when the day has come. Yes the Honda might be expensive but I feel worthwhile to get it due to being the only 650cc inline 4. Well, have a good day dear sir😊😊😊
"...And ya got ya hootah" lmfao in always gonna call my horn a Hootah.
Cb650r or cbr650r? I’m a beginner and 6‘1 tall. Also looking at the f900r ..
For me personally the naked r , but it depends on what you like .. the 900 . I think it’s the mt09 here is next level
Can you do the Ducati V4?
Yes, good and faithful ABS. The negligent driver probably didn't see you at 28:48 because your black bike blended in with the dark colour of the wet bitumen. And you're wearing black too.
I have a CBR500R and use it for the daily 80 mile commute of country roads and m25. This looks identical to my bike but has a bigger engine. I am looking for my next bike. Is this enough of an upgrade though?
Delwar Ahmed It looks like a 1000cc fireblade honda
Go test ride one man the in-line 4 has more power then you would think
Well it's roughly double the horse power and much more refined with the two extra cyls. I doubt you'll have any use of the extra actual top speed but you'll have better overtaking power on your motorway bits and probably better fuel economy (if you like that sort of thing).
@@RayBanJockey thanks for the response. Was all booked up to test ride last weekend at Dobles but was not feeling well. I get 70mpg on my cbr500r doing mostly 6th gear at 60mph. I don't struggle overtaking cars but a bit of extra power never hurts. Will let you know if I end up trading my 500 for the 650
you dont need to hide speed limit we enjoy it
everyone agrees with you about the back end!!
I like Honda company amazing CBR 650 are right now but mileage very large
Didn't get you about the milage, do you mean it has bad milage when compared to it competition.?
Sweet looking bike a bit too new and shiny for it to be a first bike for me though :(
Still going to get a Ninja 650 unless by the time i get my license i can pick one up for the right price.
My kinda roads!
sexy bike, dash looks like a galaxy s9+
Anyone know what the hp figure is
94 I believe
whats your height?
Love the vid, but at about 5:30 while filtering you continued to do so into oncoming lane while a truck was coming... normally not a big deal for people comfortable filtering, HOWEVER, the paint on that truck looked like a rental truck company (blue with orange on white background, Budget truck rentals). If it was from a rental company, that means the driver is not used to driving the larger vehicle. Now, you being in a different country, maybe the colors don’t go to a rental truck company there like they are here, but if they are, that would have been a time you shouldn’t have been filtering, just like you shouldn’t press your luck if there is a giant sign on top of a oncoming car saying ‘student driver’.... just something to think about. (I wasn’t able to tell what company name was written on the truck, couldn’t tell if it was or was not a rental truck).
Also, I agree on the word “flickability.” Hate it.
EDIT: “Front brake I haven’t used in anger...” great description, never heard it phrased that way before!
Miles away , I’m completely on my side of the road .. don’t worry mate I have other ways to hurt myself 😂 thanks for the feedback
This bike ok for daily commute?
Depends what the commute is to be honest , and if you want it only for the commute
Why does the whole video looks like you're in heaven? Was the fog that bad?
Torn between this and the triumph Street triple r
