Absolutely beautiful. Honda nailed the design. Reminds me of legendary Yamaha VMAX from front. I would just love that Honda personalizes the display for each individual bile or bike segment, like what Yamaha does. It would give more character to the actual bike. Enjoy it, it's amazing bike.

[@constantinoslaou]

Stunning bro! Wish you safe rides and no problems!

[@marlonmalwatta3760]

Nice they brought back the pearly smoke colour. I have the 2021 and she only got 5200 km on it. Rides like a gem. Congrats!

[@surajgiri2615]

[@jorelplay8738]

The sound is gorgeous, nothing beats a 4 cilinder screamer at 10k rpm. Enjoy your new bike, dude

[@philippemorilhat8608]

have you tried the VFR V4 between 8000 to 11000 rpm ?

[@eqxotiC]

Thank you so much for putting the name of your crash bars into the info section below your video. For anyone else who might be interested in purchasing bigger crash bars, it's: Crash Bars Protection by SW-Motech

[@MotoMacek]

Congratulations! You ride safe too man!

[@jackmcminn2520]

Beautiful

[@DriveDawn]

It looks completely badass in that forest green shade though

[@vidafugazz]

Really very beautiful!.

[@8OneOfTheNobodies8]

I always liked the look of the honda CB.. also the bike I took my licens on.. hope you get a tail tidy :D

[@albertodanioni6504]

Great bike. Was buying it but at the end I went for another 4 inline, the Kawasaki Z900 2024 because the dealer promoted it with an aggressive price, the same of the brand new Honda, at and it has 30CV more… 🎉🎉🎉. But I definitely want to test ride it, even if I’m super happy with mine. It looks really nice. Congrats and have fun!

[@MotoMacek]

The Z900 was also on my wish list but it has waaaay too much power for me. Even the Honda will be a bit much for me, im a new rider :)

[@MrFirstonraceday]

What a deal!! No brainer, take the 900. This 650 is a sweetie tho

[@joeedge5618]

Loved this bike when i saw it at motorcycle live the new tft sold it for me over the previous dash , top of my list for the next 1 👍

[@MotoMacek]

Yes the new TFT is so much better than the last screen :)

[@joeedge5618]

@MotoMacek being able to have turn by turn nav is a great feature aswell , a vid of how it all works would be great when you have time 👍

[@MotoMacek]

Im reading the owners manual now and trying to learn everything about this bike. I will make a video about the nav system for sure :) And other features as well@@joeedge5618

[@joeedge5618]

@MotoMacek brilliant thank you il keep an eye out for the vid in future , dash is like a spaceship compared to my versys 650 🤣

[@MotoMacek]

But Kawis have some nice displays too, what year is your Versys?@@joeedge5618

[@iklodyp]

Nice! I’m thikning about getting one this year in the same color too! Although one day I look at it and think it looks dope and other days the grey color makes it look cheap in a way…I disagree on the modifications though. I think the old air intakes and the old full-round headlight looked was better. Dash was neater on the old one too, I prefer the minimalistic loook.

[@MotoMacek]

Air intakes are better on the old one I agree. But the headlight is so much nicer on this :)

[@Croach007]

Good video ! My dream....

[@johnmaciste3732]

Magnifique. ❤

[@somatyk]

So purdy. Congratulations. A good 2024 for you by the looks of it. Tested the 2023 model. I adore everything about it. Apart from the hideous intakes. The new ones look much more purposeful at least for me. And the grey gloss tank. Jaysis. It's stunning.

[@lakaiskates8064]

The intakes and headlight are the worst part about the new CB650 imo lol Beauty of a bike overall though!

[@ash-6867]

I agree with the intakes, the 2023 were nicer

[@glyncoates8253]

Hopefully I will get one next year😍👍

[@MotoMacek]

Let's gooo!

[@konstantinoskourini]

Very nice but i liked the tail on the previous one better!!!

[@SunshineFML]

I got 2023 Black edition 3 days ago, cant wait for spring now and good weather...painfull next few months 😅

[@MotoMacek]

Yes I agree. Hopefully end of March the weather will already be good enough. Oh man the black edition looks cleaaaan

[@normski262]

nice looking machine

[@Geekybroz]

my favo bike ❤

[@butchbbg]

Oh, so it's already available in your country. I'm in Japan and went to a Honda shop a few days ago for asking about the 2024 model. The shop guy said they haven't gotten any official announcement. He said those 2024 model on youtube may not be the same looks as one will be released in Summer 2024 in Japan... Well, I guess this is it. Thanks for the post and congrats! I'll also consider gray .

[@MotoMacek]

Thank you! And I hope you get yours as soon as possible :)

[@02011984]

Also no e-clutch on this one.

[@rafanagajczyk1797]

Dont Revit on cold oil.Great bike!!!

[@Rocker0994]

Beautiful bike! Could you please make a video showing all features of the new TFT display?

[@MotoMacek]

I wanted to make that video already, but the weather was horrible so ill make it in the next couple of days

[@Matt18001]

Awesome, I have a 2022. Headlight, display, and side intake pods are the obvious changes. They must have changed the exhaust too, it sounds a bit quieter than mine. Maybe bigger cat for new European emissions requirements?

[@bobclavi]

i want that new screen so bad

[@TheOpenRoadExperience]

looking forward to watch your vlogs! where you from? :)

[@MotoMacek]

Slovenia :)

[@edsoncampos8947]

No e-clutch????? Dang they got you bro. You got a new display and the intakes that are a little different. I have the 2023. At least they threw in the quick shifter. Is it only up? I'm crying here. No eclutch... Of course, it's a beauty and you will enjoy it so much. Congratulations regardless. I love mine bro. Remember after 8.500 rpm that's where this beauty comes alive.

[@MotoMacek]

I ordered mine specifically without the e-clucth. Old school is the way. Yes quickshifter is up only. Thanks bro!!

[@robertopena4x4]

Muy hermosa, pero un detalle, la salida de escape mira hacia arriba, si llueve y entra agua, tendra un despiche en la zona baja ?

[@berkaymutlu8399]

Great choice! CB650R is the best option(due to handle bar & seating position).To me, I’m waiting for 2025 Honda models, hoping a 2025 CB 650F release!

[@firstnamelastname5736]

Very nice bike. Why did you prefer this over the faired CBR650R?

[@C0zyDunt]

I'm thinking of getting one, but those new air intakes are just awful. Love the new display. I would like the new model, but with the old air intakes. Just my preference But congratulations on getting.

[@AlanOliver20]

Stunning bike. Were any of the other colours tempting you? I really like the look of the green!

[@MotoMacek]

All colors look really good and you can't go wrong with any of them. But grey was a no brainer for me :)

[@AlanOliver20]

@@MotoMacek yeah the grey looks great! More i see it the more i prefer it over all the others!

[@csanvi]

What a gorgeous sounding machine! It is a shame that Honda priced it so god damn high in India..

[@user-sc1nl7if3q]

Nice bike! Would you show the menu choices in your dashboard? I ordered one, but I will get the version with the e-clutch.

[@MotoMacek]

I will make a video about the dashboard soon :)

[@StanielBG]

Congratulations! I'm also awaiting my CBR 650 R to come soon. Just curious, what country are you from? Is this in Europe? Just curious so I know if they arrived in Europe already. :)

[@MotoMacek]

Congratulations on the CBR as well :) Yes this is Slovenia in Europe

[@moritzhollmann3802]

Got mine in Germany a few weeks ago🤙🏾

[@chrisbrommie]

This is some machine ! Did they tell you anything at the dealership about the engine break-in period? Not to go over a certain rpm/speed and for how many kilometers? The owners manual what does it say? Best regards mate and enjoy your new ride ! 🤙

[@MotoMacek]

The break-in period is the first 1000km. The dealer told me to take it easier but didn't mention any specific RPM. I will try to keep it under 9000 RPM. It won't be hard because I am a beginner anyway :) After the first 1000km the bike gets serviced for the first time and after that you can start to push it a bit more.

[@chrisbrommie]

@@MotoMacek great. Thanks for your swift reply.

[@Ronals7]

Do you know if it is possible to transfer the 2024 pointed tail to the 2023 model?

[@MarekMatyas]

Hi, congrats on the bike. I want to ask? How long did it take for delivery from orders?

[@MotoMacek]

Thank you! I ordered the bike on 24th November and it was delivered to me on 23rd January :)

[@dolphinride5157]

Does anyone know if this bike is coming to the US? I have given up on getting the Hornet but still have hopes that I might be able to get this one.

[@grzegorz7080]

I'm planning to get this bike or the one with more fairings -> cbr650r this year too, gonna check it at bike rental if the cbr one is better :D i thought about street triple also but it's too expensive :/

[@yordantonev9011]

Great bike!!! Could you please send me link for crash bars?

[@aldeen1982]

Such a nice bike! Why no e clutch?

[@unkmigvel]

Such a beauty! Btw, Why did you go for the quick shifter instead of Honda's e-clutch?

[@MotoMacek]

I prefer the old school shifter and clutch. I will use the quickshifter only when accelerating in a straight line or the highway, I basically got it just in case. I like to operate the clutch always :)

[@MrFirstonraceday]

@@MotoMacekgood choice! Learn HOW to ride your bike and not rely on all the tech.

[@hspatel2]

E-Clutch? Gotta have the E-Clutch!!

[@MotoMacek]

Nah bro I ordered mine without, gotta have the old school driving experience. Besides.. i dont want to be the first one buying a brand new technology

[@DevonGuyA38]

Hi, great video, your bike looks gorgeous. I am due to pick up my new Honda CB650R in June. Can you let me know what make and how much the protection bars were please. Thank you.

[@MotoMacek]

Thanks! The protection bars are from SW Motech and cost me 220 EUR.

[@DevonGuyA38]

@@MotoMacek can you advise please if the mirrors fold in, as I've a side gate and concerned that the bike is bigger and wider, and hope the mirrors will push in to get the bike past the gate, on my Ninja 125, the mirrors push in. Thank you

[@deem3016]

Hello mate! The sw protectors are the same as 2023 models? I will get my 2024 cb next week, but cant find any protectors for 2024 models :) thank you

[@MotoMacek]

Drove the 2023 with protection bars as well and they looked pretty much the same but I can't tell if they are 100%. My bars on the 2024 were installed by the dealer and were a part of the options catalog for the 2024 CB650R.

[@edelinpetrov1479]

Do you think these engine protection crash bars will fit with the E-clutch version?

[@MotoMacek]

Im pretty sure they will fit. Not much of a size difference between the standard and e-clutch model

[@ulyssessait]

where is this location? saw the snow tho

[@RandommVideoShots]

Is front abs plate on left side?

[@02011984]

Did you have a choice to pick a standart manuel clutch and e-clutch one before you order?

[@MotoMacek]

Yes of course. I chose the standard :)

[@coledawson7398]

Is this model for sale in the USA

[@sibicharan6156]

Enjoy it, it seems like honda would probably replace this with a hornet in the future. Similar thing happened with cb1000r it looked really stunning but they've changed the styling of the motorcycle now its a hornet

[@MotoMacek]

Thank you! Yeah they changed up the cb1000r to a hornet. Now it looks more like a Ducati Streetfighter :) Not necessarily a bad thing but I do prefer the classic retro look with the round headlight👌

[@MikaelFresco]

No, they won’t buddy.

[@MonicaHolly143]

Why would they replaced it ? If u know honda they dont replaced their cars they just add a new segment

[@SuperMaxi66]

The CB 1000 R Neo Sports Cafe is still in production and it is not replaced by the hornet. The hornet comes in addition.

[@andreesmc1003]

I bought one in black and I'll pick it up next week. Do you know if there is any way to cancel the turn signals always on? 😢

[@MotoMacek]

Congrats!! My dealer said those are meant to act as position lights and stay lit on all new Honda models

[@jucahr1220]

The new 2024 has e-clutch system not need quick shifter. What happed with that?

[@60435]

It's optional..

[@ryancarloenabe4518]

Where did you get your crash guard/bar? Will it fit the 2023 version?

[@MotoMacek]

It was an option as additional equipment at my local dealer, I think they come recommended from Honda. These are the SW-Motech bars and not sure if these exact same ones will fit on the 2023 model. But the 2023 model I drove last year had almost the exact same bars installed, so they for sure exist :)

Why she don't have a water temp gauge :(

[@nathans.5242]

Nice bike! But... you drive a car and you ride a bike. There's a mention of ABS on the front fender, but I only see it present on the rear wheel. Isn't ABS most important on the front wheels?

ABS is on the left side
