I really want to like the Hornet, but I don’t. Honda is trying to compete with Yamaha and keep costs down… In the end we all have different boxes to tick and it’s awesome that there is so much to choose from. My 2023 CB650R fits me greatly. Im not a tall person so Im never cramped. I love the looks of it. It’s fast when I want it to be and smooth and docile when wanting as well. It feels premium, making me feel I own something with value. Yes, it’s not perfect, but what is? There would be nothing left after perfection… In the end we could own 100s of motorcycles in a lifetime and they would all have different characteristics. The important thing is to CHOOSE THE BIKE YOU LIKE! KEEP RIDING! BE SAFE!

All the reviews frown on the Cb650r but anyone who rides them loves them, that’s why I bought one. You gotta keep the revs high and stay in the power band. It’s a different riding style than the 2 cylinder bikes where you have less room to the redline and lots of torque down low. But I don’t want low down torque in the city bc it’s too jerky.

Same here, albeit the CBR650R. I will admit though that at 6'4, the cramped knee angle and bent forward sporty riding position has me looking to change it for something larger with a more upright position. I will state that the 650 is a high quality machine and the engine is a class act. New models get the TFT, too.

For future reference please refer to these bikes as 650 (six fifty) and 750 (seven fifty). NOT six hundred and fifty and seven hundred and fifty, there is no need to keep mentioning hundred as it was grating and irritating and takes to long to annunciate when it's perfectly obvious which model you are referring to.

I drove the cb650R through europe 6-7000km for 3 weeks. inline 4 8is fun when u have speed limits that are in the 80+km an hour. then its fun. it comes to live when you closing in on the speed limits. and that is quite a bad thing unless you want to risk it. Not a good bike to pass other cars i felt like. because it takes about 1 sec before the power kicks inn. so you have to decide to drive fully agressive or just cruise. the hornet i feel like you can make quick desicions and be fine. because power kicks in early. just my two cents

CB750- It's a Parallel Twin Cylinder engine. It has 2 big cylinders and is gonna make more power lower in the RPM and more torque kinda like a V-twin or Harley engine. CB650- inline 4 cylinder engine makes less torque low down in the RPM and more power in the high RPM. Most 4 cylinder bikes make more HP than 3 cylinder or 2 cylinder bikes with the same size engine. A 2024 kawasaki ZX636 makes 115hp-4 cylinder KTM 990 super duke makes 120hp-2 cylinder
