Its really good of you to post this video. It’s a great looking bike and very powerful. Having watched your video I’m less convinced it’s a viable starter bike. For me it feels like a 2nd or 3rd bike.
Unless the A2 conversion actually helps so the rider can use more of the gears and get to enjoy the bike more with 47bhp before moving up to 94bhp. For a couple of £100s it could be worth doing even if you have passed your test and achieved A Licence status.
That way you can save on depreciation by not having to buy a new CBR500R first.
One reviewer from Washington DC bought a new CBR500R and said he should have bought a second hand one first because it was great to learn on aand was cheap to run but after 6 months wanted something bigger!
It seems an impossible decision. I hope you are still safe and have grown more into your ride. 👍
Just got mine this week....looks the business!
Had mine Honda 650r one year love it to bits, great bike for a useable sports road bike.
Definitely agree, its a very useable bike
A good honest review of a middle weight bike for all new riders.. (the eastlancs is a 60 ;)
Thankyou, and yeah.... lol
I have had an r1, an Aprilia tuono and a Daytona 675. This bike is better then all of them on the road. It’s much more fun to have a bike you can use all of the power on. I would have a Daytona as a track toy though.
My Honda MSX-125 has a similar sort of issue with the false neutral gear changes. Only became apparent when I got some riding boots. Thanks for the video really interested in this bike. Subbed! 👍🏻
Thanks for the subscription. I don't have this issue much at the minute, but It could just be the gearing has been worn in properly now.
Also have it on my msx
I was looking for a review like this from a looong time
Please update us further down the road
Great review mate. i just passed my Mod 2 at the end of November so I’m looking for my first big bike for the Spring, and the mat black version has caught my eye cause it looks great. I’ve never been interested in bikes until last year, so I’m doing all my homework now to get up to speed and I’m wondering if this would be a good first bike.
I’m not interested in racing and hitting 100mph in an instant because I did all that in my Supra where it felt a lot safer, but I would be interested in cruising around and just enjoying riding with the occasional blast. I thought the CBR500 with the same paint job initially, but read some things that made me think I would get bored of it quickly with the lack of power and then want go change the bike, where as with something like this as a good all rounder, it may be better. What do you think as an owner?
I had the same choice, cbr500r or 650R, went with the 650 due to the 4 cylinder nature and more power. Its not a bike you'd get bored of the lack of power, its a bit of a rocket.
Yes mate bike looks lovely, Im torn between this and the mt-07 I've heard similar things to you as people say it drinks lots of fuel. Do you think It drinks a whole lot more than say an mt-07 or would it be similar say if are an aggressive rider?
I picked mine up in May and I can't fault it. As you say, it's as fast as you want it to be, but also perfectly happy in town at 30mph in top gear.
I fitted a tail tidy. It wasn't on for long. You get absolutely smothered in crap, but worse is the underseat area where all the wiring looms and fuses, etc, are located which becomes saturated with water. I didn't think that would be good long term.
I love mine, it definitely can be fast if you want it to be. Mine has been out in all the imaginable weather's and is still doing fine. Honestly the looms and fuse thing does concern me a little bit, just with how much it does rain in the UK. Ill get in touch with honda and see what they say.
you need a hugger!
i bought one and i love it!
We need you to narrate the BBC nature films we get over here in the States. Great video and good information for those of us looking for a reasonable sport bike.
haha thankyou, appreciate the kind feedback
I'm hoping I get one next year! If it wasn't for this pandemic we are In would have went through my big bike tests this year but what can you do lol! Lovely looking bike 👌
Goodluck with your test!
@@ToxicChillz thanks man can't wait for it!
Good luck bud, passed my mod 1&2 last week and have just bought on of these.
14:35 " I had my girlfriend on the bike ... , not girlfriend , my mom was on the bike ! " Dude that was so fucking funny ! LOL
Ya done spilled da beans. Bloody hell.
Thanks to this video I’ll be sticking with a Ninja 400. I’ll never need to go 120mph. And getting 40 mpg is really bad. But you you shouldn’t be going WOT on every ride either. But I live in a much denser city too. Usually in the city it’s 40 to 50 mph anyway. Going fast for a few hundred yards isn’t worth it.
I have a cbr500r and the headlight is TERRIBLE for the back country roads with no other road lights. This bike has the same cowling and looks roughly the same kind of lighting shape...all beam and no side lighting. Scares the poop outta me. But other than that i think i really want to upgrade to the 650r :)
Great vid, enjoyed it. Made me want to get one even more, but I'm skint. Bollocks.
You only need one kidney
@@TheDozy1234 Good point. Prob also have to sell my left nut to pay for the insurance though....
Thankyou for the kind words, unfortunately I wasn't too well but hey the video turned out okay. The insurance for me in the Uk with 4 years no claims, age 24 and only passing my full DAS test a week or two before at the time of purchasing insurance, fully comp was about £800. Which when I was paying around £700 for a cbr 125 on third party was a surprise for me with how cheap I got it...I expected it to be way over £1000
You planning on putting an exhaust like the akra full racing exhaust ? That one sounds very good
I don't think I really need a different exhaust, this one sounds pretty decent as stock and personally not a fan of how some of the akra systems look on this bike.
Please share your thoughts on the engine heat primarily at traffic lights and in stop and go traffic. Nice video. Ride safe 🏍️✌️🏍️
I've had my CBR650R for a few months now, and not had any real issues. The engine did run hot during break in period, but i'd expect that - afterwards it's been absolutely fine. Not had properly sweltering weather in the UK yet tho, but been out for hours on several nice days and heat wasn't a problem.
My old CBR650F would get roasting hot after riding for a few hours in normal weather, and would just suck in the summer. Maybe heat will be a bit unpleasant on the 650R too when summertime fully comes around, but so far it seems to manage heat a lot better in my experience. I had a doublebubble windscreen on the 650F, which probably made it a bit worse for heat too now that I think about it.
I have been out in atleast 20C heat and not had any issues even in stop and go traffic. We will so how it gets when we can finally get out when summer really hits.
cos it's never sunny in preston! everywhere else seems to have problems seeing the gauges!
I went out on a 30 degree weekend and did 230+ miles in the scorching heat and never had an issue seeing the dash.
The Chain was going dirty most likely due to leaking water pump seal leaking.
I'm considering to buy one now, with this issue, chain also looks exactly as dirty.
You’re a year round commuter like me . Currently on a CB500F and I want a bit more fun . This bike or the Cb650r could be the answer . Hope you have ACF50 on it to keep the dreaded rust away?
If you have the option I would really look to test ride both of them and see what you think, I believe the seating position is a little different on them, and I regulary clean the bike and use Muc Off's version of ACF50, no complaints yet!
I'm going up from a Yamaha YZF R125 and trying to decide between this CBR 650R and the Kawasaki Ninja 650. Any thoughts?
I had an older Kawasaki 650 and never had this Honda cbr 650r but the inline 650 is going to be much faster and a higher quality bike than the ninja 650. The ninja will have more power down low and the Honda will have to be wrung out to access its extra power. The ninja will be easier to ride for a beginner and probably more forgiving but either of these bikes is doable for you.
I’m sorry I am a 42 years old I have a Honda CBR 600rr and my back is killing me so I’m trying to get the Honda CBR 650r do you think is better option
Yea definitely, a much more forgiving bike
Definitely much more forgiving, the last time I was on a 600rr I was as a pillion and the cbr 650r is far more comfortable as a riding position, its canted forward, but not to much, I can almost sit straight up on the bike, Im 5ft 10
P.s Sorry for ther late response.
Honda Rebel 500 plz😂😂😂
Try the CB650R for an upright position. It is the same bike as CBR650R with no fairings and handlebars that give you an upright position.
i will be changing into this from honda 125 and im just worried of the weight of it
It is a little bit heavy when moving it around, but once you get moving its very light
Hi Toxic. What is the clutch pull like? Plan to get one of these bikes for the twisties, but my left hand often gets tired pulling the clutch on my current bike after a couple of hours. Cheers
The clutch pull is very nice, my hand never gets tired of riding it, to be honest on this bike, you don't have to be using the clutch a lot, as once your in about 3rd, it will have enough power and pickup at most speeds.
The clutch on these are so damn light it is amazing.
Is it okay for long distance like touring with pillion? height 5"7 and 5"5
I have done multiple rides with pillions and also long distance, not had the opportunity to do a tour or long ride with a pillion yet, but I can say it would handle both fine. I am 5ft'10 and had a pillion of about 5'7 on the back and had no issues. As for long distance I have done over 230 miles in a day on the bike without any real issues.
Awesome
Looking at this and Mt-09. Anyone’s opinion on which to get aside from looks. Looking for do it all bike
Mdg Hotpocket this bike is a brilliant all rounder, the MT-09, is also a brilliant bike and great all rounder, i mist admit i have a weakness for the MT line but i do own a CBR650R and i do not regret my choice
MT-07 has notorious rust issues. people have replaced swing arms and are still getting rust on their 3rd OEM swing arm even after treating them with anti rust aftermarket products. MT-09 suffers from a rusty OEM chain and rear shock. In short, do not buy yamaha bikes if you live near the sea or where humidity rises above 60% or if you plan to keep the bike for more than 2 years. Honda has had bullet proof bikes but 650r is pretty new to make any informed judgements. However, 650F has been bulletproof and pretty reliable bike, so you can bet 650r will follow its footsteps.
Personally I would pick this or a tracer version, simply because the fairings help a lot to keep the weather off you, and on motorways/freeways it will be much better as you can dip below the screen or like I have, a bubble screen that will put it above you rather then straight at you
Hi there from Western Canada ! I was wondering what was your opinion on OEM Dunlop D214 tires ? Is it Good,Bad,Ugly or get rid of it ASAP ? Another question, Do you find the riding position is hard on your back or another words , is it too sporty ? Thanks for your review btw
Sporty bit very little weight on your wrist so pretty comfortable. The tires are fine when warm but not really usable in the wet or cold, would swap them pretty early if you can.afford to. Go take a test ride with it :)
For me the position is sporty but not uncomfortable, its canted forward so you do have a bit of weight on your wrist which can be negated by gripping the tank with your legs. Ive been using the OEM dunlop tyres in all conditions, ice, hail, sleet, rain and obviously dry in the summer months. The tyres for me tend to just take a bit of time to warm up, however I have had the traction control kick in a few times when riding on cold, damp/wet roads especially on cold tyres. For me ill probably replace the pair once one of them is at its limit, the tyres are definitely good enough unless you want to get right up to speed on a track or whatever in colder conditions. Ill probably go with the michelin road 5's
Worst tires, unreliable. please swap em for michelin pilot.
I´ve got 9875km on the clock on those D214s. 9000 on the road, rest on track. Now pretty much shot. Bad when cold, lethal when cold & damp. Quite OK on a warm day on track. With tyre warmers they're good.
I can’t seem to find the CBR650R anyway in the states... is there a reason for that? I really want this to be my first and last bike that I’d need
The best people to ask would be a Honda Dealership if you have one near you, or you could always try getting in touch via social media channels.
Go on CycleTrader. They’re around
Thanks for this review man. I have an 07 Ninja 650 and I've been looking at getting this gorgeous bike. Most of my riding is commuting on country roads. The Honda has more power but maybe not as much torque down low? I don't want a supersport, because I want something reasonably comfortable... and I don't need to race my buddies on the highway at insane speeds on a regular basis. Do you think I would be happy with this bike?
The bike would have way enough power, a lot of people say that the bike may not have torque down low, but to me it pulls away in 2nd and 3rd at any speed without any complaints, so I wouldn't be worried about that. If you can I suggest getting a test ride on one when it comes to what the seating position is like. For me it's not to leaned forward and I've done 230 mile + days with little to no issues
@@ToxicChillz thanks man
I've seen from other reviews when you are at 6-7k rpm and above, there is a noticeable vibration in the bars and foot pegs. Do you have this issue? How bad is it?
Personally I haven't found it too bad, I am at almost 5k miles now and still not been a crazy issue, after doing a 230 mile round trip it was fine, I will admit that there is vibration and for some that may be uncomfortable, but for me it has been fine, I guess heavier bar ends and maybe a different set of pegs may fix it.
No vib I felt
I got a 2019 cbr300r, if I trade it for the 650r, will I regret it?
No you won't, inline 4
Is this is in MPH? This bike cannot do 80mph in first dude?
It is in mph.
do you recommnend this for beginners ?
It's definitely a bike for new riders mate and experienced riders
💖💖👏🏼👏🏼
Blip throttle when downshifting so you won't clunk
Wigan?
I think the false neutral thing is a common issue with Hondas
It has seemed to work its way out, still happens but very rarely, usually when I've just not tapped it up with enough force
Why on earth would you dump a bunch of fuel on the ground before filling up? That's insane.
British villageman. What did you expect from him?
I think its because he doesn't want it to spill on the motorcycle. Most pumps have some leftover and you usually don't want fuel on your fairings
Any reliability issue so far?
Just submitted my deposit to buy one...
Had the bike over 3 years, no issues at all
6:00 "I've 'ad it-tuh, way over uh-hundred (thinks 'shiz police are gonna be watchin') at times...
... on track and different things" x'D What different things? Tourist Trophy? hahahaa
Is your speedo showing mph or kmh?
MPH
Just picked mine up tonight, non abs though.
Very nice choice, the abs is standard for europe I believe, its been handy when idiots pull out on you, but hey just enjoy the bike :)
My abs saved me within two weeks of having mine, brilliant bikes
Never buy a non abs bike!
@@wirenut3020 all of the bikes I own are non abs, it is a great addition to the bike and potentially life saving, but abs isn’t the end all be all to safety.
Best tail tidy is from evotech ! Check it out !
With riding in the UK, I probably won't opt to put a tail tidy on, the amount of crap the current tail blocks is quite an amount, so I am thinking of keeping it just because I ride in all weathers
You just poured the free fuel in the floor??!!
🤷♂️
It's 20km/l
is this bike good for daily commute?
Any bike is good of you love it.
I have been daily commuting this bike since I got it. Sometimes having to pull in the mirrors to get past those who try and stop any bike filtering, but either way its been fine for the commute, I generally commute about 20-45 mins everyday and its perfect, well behaved and not to snatchy when you get on the throttle. It pulls and can get you out of any trouble if needed, but will also pleasently sit at below 30mph in 6th gear with no complains and just a smooth increase in power when you open the throttle.
Put 1k miles on mine in 2 month. I think already? How? Love this bike
It's honestly no suprise, I wish I could ride it more... Will be putting a lot more miles on it this year I'm sure!
Trying to figure out how to turn up the brightness on the dash. Honda was no help. Know a way?
@@maggie937 cant
Krabbenwulst it shows in the manual some dashes on the bottom of the screen and mentions adjusting brightness 🤷🏻♂️
@@maggie937 I'm not sure you can, but I will have a look and see if its possible, although I haven't had a single issue even in direct sunlight.
Apparently the stock Dunlops on this bike are dangerously slippy, and have shit grip, so you should replace them asap.
I'm not sure who has said that, but i've done almost 5k miles on them in all kinds of weather, through winter and all the way up to now, not had too many issues, I will be swapping them out soon though, probably stick some road 5's on
kriega bags are best for sports bikes
I will have to have a luck into them.
How on earth are you getting 200miles to a full tank? The most I've had is 130 even with taking it easy, I'll put it down to my lack riding experience and ability to use the bike more efficiently.
Yeah I get anywhere between 100 and 150 depending on how I ride, 200 seems a little high
@@madmike171 I've still got the OEM tyres on so that could be a factor, he might of changed out tyres early but that's still quite a jump from 130-150miles to 200miles. I've just ordered a set of Bridgestone BT21 so they might get a bit better fuel economy, but being honest I've not got a sports bike to try conserve fuel 😉🏍️💨
Most of the time I spend riding is commuting, but I don't tend to go revving the nuts of it, it definitely does fluctuate for me. If I'm riding hard then I definitely see a fairly big drop in efficiency. However taking it easy and just plodding around, on the motorway just chilling at 70mph its definitely quite good in 6th gear for fuel economy, but that's just been my experience. I did a ride of 110 miles to the lakes and didn't need to fuel up till I was on the way back. I had 2 bars left by the time I fuelled up, just to make sure I had enough to get home.
@@ToxicChillz Yeah I was using it to commute as well, I try and try to ride efficiently to and from work but theres almost always some reason to make use of that power ;) If you haven't already, get rid of those OEM tyres. I managed to get around 4800miles on them and thats with quite a bit of messing around and never felt unsafe, even in the rain. But the new shoes I put on my bike are Bridgestone Battleaxe BT16 and the level of confidence for grip is soo much more (to be expected when compared to OEM tyres of course)
Wood love to see more bike stuff and less gameing stuff
Trying to find a balance, at the moment I have a few rides out in the works, just got to edit it all
get kriega bags!
blur your speedo - cops watch you tube!
Paranoid much?
Why does this guy sound like Paddy the Baddy?
150 Mph - I don’t think so.
Yeah probably about 140 but still takes a while. Good bike though.
There is top speed videos clocking it, just have a look - idk if they are real or not, I just mentioned there are videos out there.
Top speed in US 149mph
How stupid of an idea is it to try and ride this bike 1500 miles from LA to Seattle on a 5 day trip
Never rely on abs
Abs is something that is there to help in certain situations. Relying on it as if it will stop you no matter what is a rather stupid decision. If i mentioned relying on it in the video, I meant that it will kick in, if needed and nothing more.
You don't rely on it, but it saves your arse in those split second situations. ABS has saved me twice in my biking career, without it my wheels would have definitely locked and I'd have gone straight over the handlebars or low/highsided.
I always rely on ABS. This bike on track is quite nice because of ABS.
@@petrolheadJJ yeah good luck if it goes wrong otherwise your reliance might kill ya
@@duc1755 Do you have actual experience on this bike, of hardish braking that triggers the ABS?
Apply normal motorcycle braking technique, ie. hard braking when up right and ease the pressure with increasing lean angle. My aim is that my commanding and controlling the motorcycle is NOT a leap of faith (good luck). Feel free to watch my track clips for reference. Cheers, Jarno
You went to bathroom at the petrol station. Ewww....
😂😂😂
Guys has 4000km on this bike, talks about long rides (300km) and touring...what a joke man...
87mph in 1st gear haha this joker
Oh man, the phone! I can't cope with your phone.. Why?! Why right there?! For crying out loud what is wrong with people? Also, this Honda has the worst tail end I have ever seen. It looks like the bike has a birth defect. But, please please please, stop putting your phone on the bike, you blame car drivers for making mistakes? I beg to differ.......
If you don’t know where youre going, google maps on the phone on the “dash” like that is a life savior. Quick glance and you know where you are. Versus, theres a phone in my pocket and i think i missed my turn but i don’t know and now i have to stop completely to empty my pockets and check my phone. RAM mounts are amazing! Now i wouldn’t recommend trying to text or read texts on it but for maps its the same as any cruiser these days with gps screens built in.
Jagknorr just another distraction from the road ahead. No arguments. No defence. Ping' - can you pick some milk up on your way back' bang' AE.
The only reason I have my phone mounted there is because there isn't any better way to mount it. Also I use the phone for gps and have a bluetooth headset connected while riding so I can answer calls without touching the phone, its just there for emergency, the bluetooth that is. The phone I use for maps when I'm riding to a place I have never been or touring. For example if I was following a programmed route, then I barely have to glance down to see the phone, as I can angle it so it is in my view.
@@theoldbrowner2224 I don't respond to any notifications at all, i see a blinking light and I ignore it, if I get any calls, then I answer with my bluetooth headset on my helmet.
Toxic Chillz your answer confirms my point. If you think using your device while riding is safe for you and other road users go right ahead. But do not encourage other bikers to do so by using them on your videos and defending there use in these messages. Finally, the law will not look in your favour if you are on the phone in an incident. Wake up.
