Man, the CBR650R is really really nice. It's got a little more going for it than my '19 Ninja 650 ABS, but this is my first motorcycle and I got the Ninja for $6800 plus tax, brand spankin' new! So I really can't complain. The CBR650R is quite a bit more $$. For the same money, one can get a '19 ZX6R, which I'd take over the CBR650R any day. Great review though, thanks for sharing :)

i had a 09 ninja 650 for a first bike, then bought a new 13 cbr600rr and still have it. honda has always seemed the most comfortable to me, and the power between all the 600s are close enough to me not to matter. i dont track anyway, but was considering getting one of those 650s. have you ridden a cbr600? how does it compare as far as comfort, i know the power is not as sport oriented, but still your thoughts compared to a 600. thanks

Tell me about your opinions on both. I like the sports tourer riding position. I had a cbr500r. Now deciding between cbr650f ($5.5k)or '17ninja 1000. ($7.5k). I'm feeling for 2k more I'm getting so much more

[@clipdev]

Matthew Schrader loved the CB650F, very easy, confidence inspiring and aktive riding position. Very comfortable, great 4 zyl. motor and sound. On the MT09 I needed more time to develop some confidence, especially in the corners. After 3k km I really got used to it. It’s handling is much easier, especially in the city, and it has way more power than the Honda. But the Honda had it’s place and was the right step for me, because it was easier to have fun with.

[@Tashin32]

Just got a 2018 CB650F myself. Extremely fun. Too noob for the MT09 though. I've heard their throttle is especially touchy.

As good as CBR650R is, it has such a small gas tank, the full range was about 140 miles or so during the recent weekend riding (One of my buddies recently got one). I know Ninja 650 easily covers up to 180 miles w. a full tank. For someone like me whose daily riding is easily 70 miles, it makes a difference. 😉 That is why I am upgrading Ninja 650 soon (from my Ninja 300) 😎☺️

[@KillJoyHot]

@@Tobeon2 I get like 200 miles per tank, but the tank in the 650 is smaller than the cbr by 0.2. My commute is long as well, so that's why I picked it

[@BennyZ88]

@@Tobeon2 Yeah but that Inline 4 cylinder motor in the Honda in my opinion is superior and makes quite a bit more horsepower than the Ninja's 2 cylinder motor. (Almost 20 more horsepower) The Honda also has better breaks, and a better suspension system. Obviously its more expensive, but your getting what you pay for. I haven't rode either bike, but on paper, the Honda is clearly the better performer. By the way the Honda has a larger tank than the Ninja so i dont quite understand what your going on about (15.4 litres vs 15 litres) The Ninja gets slightly better gas mileage which is why the Ninja can go longer on a full tank, But it has nothing to do with gas tank size.

Getting a 2018 z650, I'm stoked!

[@brothermanv]

Nice! How do you like it?

[@dblackviper2k3]

The only thing that steers me away from this bike is I can get a new zx6r for about the same price. If it was about 1-1.5k cheaper it would be a definite buy

I picked up a CB650R a couple weeks ago and I absolutely love it!

[@lucaswright9053]

What are your thoughts on getting one in the UK and restricting it to the A2 license?

kawasaki ninja 400 abs

[@valerionini5680]

would you suggest this bike as first bike? I've only driven scooters till now

[@LorenandBridget]

Get the Kawasaki 650. Better bike and cost less

[@jeremycubs8331]

One thing I don't like is the tail, Honda could have been more sensible and designed it a bit different than the naked 650r 😔.. still this bike is such a looker especially the Matt black.. 👍

[@markmulder4003]

Probaly gonna get this bike, yes the tail could be different but luckily we can change the tail to sporty look😄

[@jeremycubs8331]

@@markmulder4003 Definitely get that tail tidied up mate lol, it's a great bike so go for it and never look back 👍😁

[@Cohunnamatta]

I got a new 2019 cb300r last year as my first bike financed. I can say I already laid it down last year. I do have this bike on my mind so that’s why I’m here.

[@omarpiane2379]

I’m thinking which bike to buy 🧐 I live in Norway and the weather is s**t. Any suggestions on a bike with good weather protection??

[@DukeOfDC]

Hmm, something with plenty of wind protection and heated grips. Maybe a used BMW GS??

[@omarpiane2379]

@@DukeOfDC thought about it.. but here the BMW GS costs more than a new liver !! imagine that new it comes around 30.000 dollars... anyway thanks for the reply :)

[@noahdevaney1817]

Im riding a Kawasaki Versys 650 currently. Loads of fun and great for my hour long commute!

[@Champion2Manager]

Kawasaki 650 2019 - all black ( I removed the green stickers). I almost bought the Honda 650r but the price and the brand was a deal breaker for me. I love my kawasexi :) lol 😆

[@IndyMotoRider]

Alpha Bro I agree 💯 The Ninja 650 looks better and is WAY less costly. For the price of this Honda you could easily afford to get a non-ABS ZX6R.

[@Champion2Manager]

William Steyert yup ! Exactly ! lol

[@Fearless154]

Even when they both 650's but they're not in the same category. Ninja650 is less powerful and more cost friendly with cheaper parts. The cbr650r is L4 with 95 HP with more serious parts and performance it's competing directly with bikes like mt09 z900 gsxs750 duke790 which have 120-100 HP and sportier engines and the same price range. The ninja650 is competing with bikes like mt07 sv650 they all have about 60HP and much friendlier prize.

[@madmike171]

Haha, i bought this in the same colour in June, it is everything you said - absolutely lovely machine :D

[@banditryder4696]

I'll be waiting for the 2019 CBR 600rr review. While your wearing your santa suit, might as well look good doing it.

[@09995322804]

Hi Guys I am from India . I ride a Yamaha RD 350, Royal Enfield 350 cast iron & a Jawa 250

[@thatdudety0176]

I'm highly considering one of these for my first bike (more than likely used) selectable torque feature will be handy until I get alot more comfortable. What a gorgeous bike.

[@LEMUSA77]

Same here. They seem hard to find though!

[@dsofe4879]

I just recently got myself a CB650R, the naked version of this. Fantastic bike. Even though it's obviously the same bike as the CBR in most aspects, I'd love to see your take on it.

[@michaele5173]

Glad I found this video, I just want to see you ride my old roads. I grew up in Euless but moved to NC a few years ago. I was actually the assistant manger at Cycle Gear in Bedford. Bought a 600RR at DFW Honda. The 650R is like the perfect sport bike for the street. You should have hit the loops at 183/360 to get rid of the chicken strips haha. Take it to Cresson and ECR.

[@Sumpguard]

This is a great review, and ride. This could be my next bike. It’s more than enough for the real world road/commute. Fantastic bike.
