I love your passion with the bike! I have the 2022 one and coming off a 300 cc bike (a R3, which i had for a good 6 years before i upgraded to CBR650R) i am so happy with overall performance of the CBR650R! I think it has everything that i need in a bike.

[@AkaiCBR]

Your words mean a lot to me cause I'm a very passionate person. Thank you very much!

[@someoneelse1i1i]

Your story is almost just like mine. I rode when I was young but hadn’t ridden in decades. Got a cbr300r to get back in the swing of things. Liked it so much that I got the cbr650r (2023) when I get ready to move up. I’m a daily rider and it’s perfect for me. Lovin’ it! Have fun man!

[@zulfadhly7639]

@@someoneelse1i1i Thats the proper way! I’d always recommend any beginner rider who are into sport bikes to slowly get a smaller bikes (those 300s are perfect) first before moving up. Just as a training bike and to get the feel of it so the handling skills would naturally be there when riding a bigger bike. Similarly I’d consider my CBR650R to be the training bike before I go for one of the 1000 cc’s when i am ready to own one! 😎

[@someoneelse1i1i]

@@zulfadhly7639 I gotcha. I’m an “old guy” (over 60) and it’s probably my “forever bike”. It does everything I need. I’ve never been over 110 mph on it but I’m pretty sure it would hit 150 wound all the way out (I won’t do 150 but the bike would😜). I don’t have much interest in the low “screaming off the line” torque. And I would love to have one of the “high horsepower” bikes (Kawasaki zx14r - it’s a big, fat, comfy bike with 200+ horsepower) but doubtful it will happen. Keep having fun!

[@Rrc36381]

Hello, from France. Nice video. t's nice to see you happy! I sold my CBR 650 R 2023, to buy the new Suzuki GSX 8R. I went from red to blue and from 4 cylinders to twin cylinders.... I tried it several times before buying it, for fear of making a mistake! , the CBR was excellent, but I really fell in love with this Suzuki, a big surprise, more versatile, and it accelerates much more than the Honda, which surprised me the first time!. The top speed is lower, but the motor torque is impressive for this 800 cc. I kept the CBR rear seat cover as a souvenir!. Ride save.

Thank you very much! Enjoy the Suzuki :)

Then I can open it up more :) Got the race pack fitted when I got it, love the quick shifter even at nice slow pace its great. Heated grips and tail tidy being fitted by the dealer too. After that i am not sure what mods to do. I like the stock exhaust right now. Maybe thats a next year mod for me. Oh also fitted a stem mount quad lock. Keep up the videos.

[@timmy3822]

Love to hear that engine scream. My MT-09 pulls and sounds great but it doesn’t howl like a midrange 4. I’m actually considering “downgrading” to the 650R, it’s refreshing to see a sports bike that’s actually usable. Years ago I had a GSX-R 600 (2003), it was a real pocket rocket (180kg wet with 115bhp 😜) but my back seriously can’t deal with those clip on bars now. 😢

[@Mattias_Nilsson]

I have two 650R’s one 2019 and one 2024 both black. Love those bikes..

[@AkaiCBR]

That's crazy, which one do you prefer?

[@Mattias_Nilsson]

@@AkaiCBR Like the new display on the 2024 also maybe better forks on that one. But both are very similar. The engine on the 2019 runs better as it is not so emission friendly I guess. Both has now powder coated pegs and exhaust in matte black and that looks better than stock.

[@AkaiCBR]

@@Mattias_Nilsson Awesome. I'm also getting all my foodpegs powder coated. Which color did you go for exactly? do you have the RAL?

[@Mattias_Nilsson]

@@AkaiCBR No I do not have the RAL. But it was the moste matte black they had. I looks perfect.

[@PopsRacer61]

Good video! 👍👍 I went to the dealer to order this bike months ago in America but they couldn't give me an ETA for this 2024. The new one is supposed to have eShift which is a little different from a quick shifter (it works by using a servo mechanism as opposed to mechanical). I own a Ninja 650 since 2018, but haven't had a chance break in my Honda yet, because of the weather in N.eastern Pa. 👀

Hi danke fürs Video! 👍 Die Angabe von Honda in Bezug auf die VMAX bezieht sich glaube ich auf die gedrosselte A2 Version, weil mein Kumpel der die CBR als A2 fährt, dasselbe bei sich im Fahrzeugschein zu stehen hat und das tatsächlich so hin haut. Für die offene Version habe ich aber auch nichts finden können.

[@AkaiCBR]

Das erklärts, danke für den Kommentar!

[@rolandrieser2828]

​​@@AkaiCBR Die offene Version dreht im 6. Gang etwa 11'800 rpm, das entspricht etwa 234 km/h Dazu braucht es aber mindestens 4 Kilometer Anlauf auf einem freien Autobahnstück. Die CBR650 ist im 6.Gang per Zündzeitpunkt gedrosselt.

[@papajim93]

I ordered it with a quick shifter. Is there a particular reason that you installed one after the first inspection? And what do you think about the quick shifter in the Honda sport Packet, is it good?

[@AkaiCBR]

I got it later cause the Sports pack is a waste of money especially cause I got the windshield for free. I really like the quick shifter probably gonna upgrade it even more with a stabilization module

[@papajim93]

@@AkaiCBR yeah the sports pack is really expensive for what it gives. Ok the quickshifter its fine, but the tank protectors and the windshield are extremely expensive for what they offer. I found out later that i can order no brand items dirt cheap online.

So you bought the 2024 Honda CBR650R without the new e-clutch, but then added a quickshift?

[@AkaiCBR]

That’s correct yes, I don’t like the concept of the e clutch

[@nukunuku97]

I am a noob, so excuse me if my questions are stupid... I am just wondering, why didn't you chose the e-clutch version of the bike ? Was it not available when you bought the bike or any reasons not to chose that and get a quickshifter instead? I thought the e-clutch offers similar features like a quickshifter?

[@AkaiCBR]

There are no stupid questions! I didn’t get the e clutch variant cause I don’t need it and I want Manual control over my bike :) if I get the e clutch I would just lose fun in riding. If in turn it off I wasted money. Additionally, it looks really bad

[@dardobartoli]

You've probably said in previous videos, but did you consider the E Clutch. And by the way thanks for the English commentary

[@AkaiCBR]

I honestly didn't even consider it, it's a nice feature I guess but I don't need the gimmick. You aren't really losing out on a whole lot if you have a quick shifter, down shifting with rev matching is way better for the engine anyway.

Beautiful roads! I'm also creating videos with my CBR 650R 2024 Black, but it takes me a lot of time to edit them.

Also the bike is awesome, I really love riding it and for me this amount of power and comfort is perfect. 👌

Sorry, I’m commenting without watching the full vid. I’ll watch it later. Why can’t honda quickshifters work in both directions?? I still like your method. Honda e-clutch looks hella ugly the way it sticks out. However, once they figure out a way to integrate that into the design, I’ll prolly get one

I agree. The eclutch kind of makes the bike less of a bike. And it sticks out too far :/

[@CandybulbNetwork]

Why didn't you get the E-Clutch?

[@AkaiCBR]

I don't really need it, as downshifting with rev matching is much better than just ramming a gear in, E-Clutch repair costs are high and it affects the engine visually, sticks out a lot. It's a nice feature, but I like more manual control over the bike.
