Honda CBR 650 R | Totally Motors

[@pauldobbo]

I've had mine for just over 3 years I love it excellent on track days and road riding

[@jared123123]

Bought one earlier this year, some pretty basic modifications changed the look entirely. Some wheel pinstriping, new seat cowl/ tail tidy / integrated brake light, smoked windscreen etc changed the look pretty drastically. Wish it had signals inside the mirrors at front like fireblade but for cheap just got some smoked shorter ones that are much better, but apart from that it looks absolutely stunning front to back now

[@jakesolo2872]

Agree with this. I got a cracking deal on an ex demo version of this last year. The smoked screen and red seat cowl make it look like a different animal. Folk ask me if it’s a Blade all the time.

[@FalconR73]

Post a video of it! I'm quite interested in how yours looks :D

[@stevietrucker4631]

I recognise those roads around Swettenham. Ive got this motorbike and i absolutely love it a fantastic bike for the price.

[@davidhill8163]

Great review thank you. I have the 2023 model in red and I love it. There is some vibration through the footpegs, the riding position is more aggressive than the CBR600F of years back, but I really think it’s a great bike. I have a quick shifter on mine as part of the sports pack.

[@nuwintimidates]

Black 2023 here. How good are these bikes. 👍

[@someoneelse1i1i]

I’ve also got the red 2023 - it’s perfect for how I ride. I need one that has plenty of highway speed but I don’t need tons of low torque. Strictly a street/hwy rider. We used to say “sport” or “super sport”. The term “sport tourer” really doesn’t fit. You aren’t going to “tour” on an R7 or a cbr650r or even a Ninja 650. But terminology is what it is.

[@servomekanism8505]

The riding position, the clips being above the plate as well as the pililon seat; don't all these indicate this being a sports tourer? I didn't understand why not. Many others have reviewed this under the view of being a sports tourer.

[@totallymotors]

"Honda's CBR650R is the go-to supersport bike for the real world." - MCN It may not be as focussed as the CBR 600RR, but it's racier than the CBR 650F. It's a Supersport bike that's been taught some manners.

[@totallymotors]

@@tgo_CBR Correct. The final iteration of the 650F was only around for a year but the model itself lasted a bit longer. I should have made that clearer. However, the 650F is a Sports Tourer, the 650R is not. Same frame and same engine but slightly more aggressive seating position and bar placement (although not as much as an RR), flipped Showa forks and they've squeezed a bit more horsepower out of the engine. Small changes but enough to make it a midway point between the F and RR.

[@nuwintimidates]

300km's is all I can saddle in the seat. 97kg's. Shorter commutes are great, but if you want comfort, it won't deliver that from a full tank to empty. (300-350km's) At the very best, hope it again and try to get 600km down the road. I can't do it with my weight. Maybe, if you refuel every 200s, and not every 350km, it would help. Anyways, it great as daily as my commute one way to work is only 35km.

[@jakesolo2872]

That straight 4 sound on a sub litre bike is going to be lost to history soon. Get one while you can. In a couple of years they’ll be gone. EURO6 might kill them off.

[@Otto-AutoPilot]

Exactly the reason I just bought one.

[@carlosvejar3938]

Put my deposit down on Tuesday. I live in Vegas so I can ride year round

[@ayman1035]

What sort MPG are you getting ? I thought its fairly economic for its class ! Thanks

[@totallymotors]

I'm afraid I don't know. This was a press bike that we had on review for two weeks.

[@ayman1035]

@@totallymotors thank you

[@bernhardg6187]

25km/l - mostly below 6k revs. interesting thing is 60km/h does 30-35 km/l :)

[@ayman1035]

@@bernhardg6187 can be very economic if you change gears early and limit your speed ?

[@someoneelse1i1i]

If I keep it lower in the revs and “average” hwy speeds (65 mph or so) it will be around 45 to 50 mpg. It will drop down to the “30’s” mpg if you wind it on out.

[@eduhuerto]

I have just bought that model 2 weeks ago, and next week I have to decide the extras. Do you recommend me ask for the quickshifter? I am noob, and it’s my first bike. Excellent video

[@totallymotors]

It's not necessary but it'd be a nice thing to have. The bike is perfectly nice to ride without one, it just gives a more track-like feel to be able to go through the gears without using the clutch. Although, you can do that anyway if you get the revs right, it'll just be a bit clunkier.

[@eduhuerto]

@@totallymotors thx a lot

[@lphyxsius]

I don't know if you got it but here my 2 cents. Get. The. Quick. Shifter. Period. I got it and is pretty good.

[@eduhuerto]

@@mtuz8356 absolutely fantastic. I finally received the 2023 model 3 months ago, I really recommend it, works perfectly and it’s also a piece of art, estetecly talking

[@timsgta]

yeah I'm with you, I hate the term fire for describing how cool something is...sounds so dumb

[@glyncoates8253]

It's a fantastic middle weight motorcycle. But it's not a supersports It's as 64 nm and 93 to 94 bhp.

[@AgricUltra]

There is a quick shifter available…

[@totallymotors]

Yes, it's an optional extra. One I wish it had as standard.

[@Prince-yw4lk]

Just came from your 44 teeth application video

[@Jeandeluka]

Today 2023 August, this isn't true, kawasaki relaunch the zx6r, and delivery the new zx4r, Honda possibly launch a 4 cilinder 400 cc new bike and, relaunch the cbr600rr, the 4 in line is not dead 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@totallymotors]

Yes, it took us all by surprise

[@anatomyconspiracy9416]

Why in 6th gear going 45 km/h?

[@ryanbrown5552]

Thats probably why he got such terrible mpg too!

[@michaelsiedlak2559]

Yea wtf man ahahah

[@totallymotors]

Or... it's because I'm talking... And we don't use km/h.

[@benwen5]

MPH...
