I would love to have it❤

But they don't have it in U.S

I can’t seem to find the black cbr500r in Australia, is it not sold here?

A DCT is the way to go and replace the clutch lever to a rear brake. Until that day Honda can take my money.

Your reviews are completely useless.

I wish Honda bought out an SP version of the CBR650R as it is quite budget when compared with the 600RR. It would also be appreciated if Honda made the 650 series practical for accessories like side panniers and a top box. As it stands they are not at all practical as an all round city bike. If you look at the Dukes you find two bolts for a street rack to hold panniers and top box. Everything from the 390 Duke up to the 1390 have these bolts for accessories. The other REALLY ODD thing about this class of bike from Honda is the lack of pickups for a regular Paddock Stand. WTF Honda?

For 1.70m person is a good bike?

Can it be bought less expensive with out the e-clutch?

I like the front design of the previous model

I have a bog stock '2000. In town I'd l rather be on my Gixxer every single time. But the RSV isn't as gross for an old superbike around town as I imagined. You just have to pay attention to your body position and throttle control. When you get away from traffic though it's great - whether wafting through town or on a B-road, loads of character, fantastic motor, fantastic chassis. Once you get a move on it goes from being a heavy old tractor to a surprisingly nimble thoroughbred, so much fun. Climb over the front, drop the elbow and it hooks up. On a Jap i4 you'd just sit wherever, roll on & wait for it to start screaming. Whereas the big twin RSV is fun everywhere, even at road legal speeds because it grunts from near tick-over. Fun but not comfortable. Low RPM, first gear, on wet or greasy roads really sucks - feels like it's waiting to catch you out, the Gen1 EFI fueling is snatchy and it's got boat-loads of grunt with no aids. Neutral throttle is really hard to find below 4'500rpm. But who cares when it's this much fun when the lights turn green. It's a fun bike to launch.

I recently bought one of these and it’s an amazing bike. My only comment is… I think Honda could have done more with the TFT. eg auto display showing heated grip percentage, tank percentage and range, not either/or. Also, why not have reverse/normal/reverse graphics when the indicator is on? So simple to implement and TFT gives so much potential. But, it’s a fantastic ride. A truly great bike.

Can’t lie, kinda wished you did more vids of this series

We still haven’t gotten the new styling of this bike in the states yet…

Bought a new Kawasaki z400 instead of this... looks nice but only 2 BHP more and almost 25kg heavier than the z400!...go figure what is more fun to ride 😉

Love my 06, only thing I would change about it is a gas gauge

One of my favourite bikes I ever owned.

Owned mine (US number 100, so is the Racing vs. Fireblade logo) since 2014 and now with over 20K miles. Brilliant bike! Have an Akrapovic titanium exhaust and a Power Commander V which sounds amazing. Handles like a dream and I can still hang with the newer bikes on the track and on the twisties. Timeless look and still top notch performance.

New sub. This is such a underrated channel. Great motorcycle knowledge. Excellent video and sound!

I just reviewed this too, lovely little pocket rocket.

I got my Learner Permit 2 here in my state of Victoria, Australia, 2 weeks ago and my first bike is this exact model and colour 2024 CBR500R. I have nothing to compare it to as it's my first bike but I absolutely love it! It's a pleasure to ride. It's been a steep learning curve, getting out on the road and into traffic etc. I love the look of the bike, I love the way it rides, and I'm really enjoying my new bike. Thanks for your review!

Full licence, but first bike after a 125... CBR500r vs the CBR650r; not intending to track it, just a weekend toy. Will I get bored of the 500 soon? Is the 650 just going to be limited by speed limits vs needing to rev the i4 engine?

Endless perfect design from Honda. I should purchase one. This design never ever obsolete over time.

Can’t believe how cheap these are now. £4-5k. Incredible price for an incredible bike

Great vid mate thanks a lot

Hi, does the bike get hot due to the exhaust? Thank you!

Will it rev match like autoblipper while downshifing without using clutch ?

Does it come in black?? Or any other color scheme?

What size wash was it mate? I'm doing my coolant next weekend

You give a great range of info, and history, range changes, etc thanks

The fireblade was the original but decent review

Beautiful soundtrack ;) only motivates me to buy another RSVR

But on reviews, these 2 models have oil issue. And the most horrible model in Fireblade.

I have a '07 600RR, have loved every minute of it since I bought it. No electronics on it, so it is pretty basic which I quite like, but saying that I've not had the opportunity to try one. Sounds like a trip to Fowlers Bristol for a test ride! The price of this bike is very competitive, for the spec.and the 119 bhp is outstanding, good value for money. Quickshifter is one of the Items which I feel would be beneficial. Great to see the 600RR back and all the better for it. Great review.

How was the heat on the exhaust? Compared to other Kawasaki,Suzuki 600's?

excellent review - Thank you. Do you think Honda will also launch in the US?

I'm amazed they got it euro 5 compliant while still getting 119 hp out of a 600. That was an impressive feat. And now with the superbike electronics package, it's right up there with the zx-6r for me.

I currently have a 2005 600rr and always daydream about getting a new one. Unfortunately here in Australia the new cbr600rr is $28,000. At that price, I can get a new zx6r and still have $10k left over. Even a Ducati v2 is still just cheaper. Also, the new fireblade is $53,000 AUD which is mind blowing.

Definitely agree about the wing mirrors from the Fireblade it would of made it look a lot better.

Nice review man! Getting mine next year!

For commuting i am seriously considering one of these despite having a full licence and a cbr1100 , the 80 mpg in a decent sized and fully faired chassis looks good

My kinda bike. At last a motorcycle and not a suv with 2 wheels. Just a fuel light is all you need, pointless electronics. Thanks Honda and thanks for the video. Think I will get a older one.

anyone know if it can be used as a quick shifter, basically want to know if you need to let off the throttle while upshifting

I wouldn’t be to hopefull for other manufacturers to follow. Not enough market for it. I’ve got a Honda cbr600 rr from 2009. Was my first bike a few years ago. Was my dreambike and still love it.. But I can’t ride it for more then 2 hours without backpain. Got myself a 24 mt09 as my main bike for longer tours. Still got the cbr tho. Love looking at it!

Last of bikes like this, youngsters can't afford insurance.

It sounds great ,for the price, its a lot of bike .

Just a note, RR means road and racing, not race replica , great video 👌

What’s the difference in ergos between this and the 650r?

no fuel gauge? that's a massive ommision

I feel like i can breathe now

I had to do 150 mph officer as the quick shifter works better😎👍
