Middleweight Intermediate Sportbike Shootout

[@Lifeon2wheels_lo2w]

Great to see the FZ6R come out on top! I've owned mine for almost a year now and it really is a fantastic all-round bike. It might not be the fastest or the lightest but it is so versatile. All day riding comfort for touring, easy to manage around town for commuting, and enough power to keep you entertained on the twistys. Plus in my opinion the bike looks fantastic!

[@xaeo]

@Adrian T the quietness of that stock exhaust was a massive sales point for me haha thing sounds like it’s electric then with the lovely induction noise.

[@Seasniffer1969]

What's a bummer is it is gutted HP wise vs the older fz6 generation

[@MJT-DA]

@@Seasniffer1969They did that for insurance companies. A Yamaha dealership told me in Ontario alot of the brokers didn’t want to insure the R6 and some had issues with the fz6 so they detuned it.

[@Shimmoda]

Would putting lower sport bars onto the ninja out preform the other bikes? I've heard it greatly increases the ease of cornering thoughts anyone?

[@Curry3659]

Based off of what they said, no because of the suspension being kind of eh. You could see how soft it was in the video. I have a little bit older fz6 and I can confirm that it is very much is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Even with its soft suspension. My buddy has a newer Honda and compared to the fz it feels, In every way, faster and more focused than my FZ (only when you first sit on it) after a while you notice it doesn't guide you or lay down into a corner like the fz. Bang for buck get an fz I got an 07 for $2500 in Florida. Plus CENTERSTAND! FZ only

[@windyrun7979]

I really enjoy your reviews. One thing about the cbr 650 though: I own this bike and recently installed some weighted bar ends on it. The result is they reduced any buzz to pretty much nil. The bars are very smooth throughout the rev range now. So with the higher power and nicer swing arm than the others in this review, I think you would really like it. Its an excellent all rounder.

[@gogastual]

Windy Run Where could someone find these weighted bar ends?

[@windyrun7979]

They are HVMP brand. You can buy on their website: hvmp.com

[@dakeen1974]

Windy Run Thanks for the info. I'd already decided to purchase the Honda (my first bike) as it's just my personal favorite.

[@windyrun7979]

I had the bike for 2500 miles then sold it for a street triple-very fun bike. It got smoother, but never got to where I wanted until I put bar end weights on. So..it still was viby at 2500 miles.

[@jsmcguireIII]

I ride the FZ6 and seems like the bike I was meant to ride. The size, the power, the nimble turning, the brakes, and of course the look (blue). Yamaha's are quality machines that I trust and understand. I also ride a Yamaha ATV in my work. I am waiting to see if they breed and make little Fazer ATV's.

[@Wabbit1961]

Ninja 650 - I owned the first year 2006. Paid $6400 OTD. You reach the limits of the front suspension really fast. The breaks fade. I'm 6'2", 175#, 34" inseam. The Ninja was all day comfortable but take it on the highway and get ready to be fatigued by the lack of wind protection - and I had the ZG Touring screen on mine! Yamaha FZ-6R - This bike has been around FOREVER! It's had a few different changes to the designation but basically it's been around since the 80's as a detuned version of the FZR 600. There's not a thing wrong with this bike, and in fact the best version of this bike, IMHO, was the Yamaha YZF 600R built from 1997 to 2007. The 2004 was MSRP at $7,100! Cycle World called it the best used bike buy. It had fully adjustable front and rear suspensions - unheard of today or even back then. The bike put out 87HP and did 11 second quarter miles at a speed of 120mph, with a top speed of 155mph. This current version doesn't compare! Yamaha gives you their bargain basement non-adjustable suspension, and the motor has been detuned for only about74hP according to this report. I mean WTF YAMAHA?! We going backwards just for you? Honda - I owned the Interceptor, so for them to say it reminded them of that bike makes me think this is the handler of the pack. certainly build quality is better than the other two - TRUST ME on that! The bike just inspires confidence and feels so planted that I have no doubt the Honda 650 is a great bike.

[@mverick5444]

You still there?

[@RideAMAP]

Nice leaf placement there at the end HA! Good video. It was nice to not have the wind noise you've had in other videos. I would love to hear how these compare to the Suzuki SV 650, being that you all have talked about it before in middle weight shoot outs. I would bet many of your readers are looking to update or upgrade from older bikes not just get one for the first time fresh off the show room floor.

[@and30ers]

Thanks, excellent review guys! I like that you are taking the time to review average Joe middle class bikes and not only +200 hp bling exoticas, keep up the good work :-)

[@jameshamm4345]

I've had 2 FZ6'S and can tell you can't go wrong with it. great engine great transmission. The seat could use a little work, but other than that a great bike. No bike is perfect but for the money it is spot on.

[@MrTmax74]

Agreed about the seat, I had a 2012, and although I enjoyed it immensely, I couldn’t ride very far on that seat.

[@mikeoneill9274]

Does anyone else get annoyed about the separate headlights for low beam and high beam on the ninja? It looks like every ninja 650 has a broken headlight

[@semperudellis]

Mike O'Neill Thats why you get Hid Lights. I hate the single headlight. Kawi looks much better due to their headlight design

[@sridharv5943]

I agree

[@richardking3179]

Agree I thought one wasn’t working

[@gustav901]

I got the Ninja 650 -09 and I really like the bike. I've ridden it on track and on street and it's always been great. I'm 190cm and 120kg(240lb) and I do not have problems with the angle of the knee. I've ridden the naked FJ6 and it was quite a bit smoother than the -09 ninja, but the Ninja doesn't annoy me. I usally ride for 3 hours with a 5min break every hour and have not have problems with riding 300km(186miles) in a day. None of the things I didn't like about the bike when I got it can be fixed. The biggest complain I got about the -09 is that the forks are to soft, but I think adding a bit more oil would fix it. If you get sliders for the bike it will reduce vibrations (which hasn't annoyed me) with about 50-60%.

[@Edwin6932]

I love my CBR650F and it rides like a champ. Perfect on long trips nd great torque, speed and horsepower.

[@jamorljames]

It was nice of Rob Schneider to do this review for us!

[@pchris5391]

I ve got the Yamaha fz ( it s called XJ6 here in Europe) for about 18 months and I m very happy with it. Friends of mine that own R6, Suzuki Gxr, Hornets and others that ride good bykes for many years, after riding mine were impresed about how it handles, riding position, wind protection, height and so on. The engine has a lot of torque from low revs, it s not a sport bike, it s a fun bike. Before buying it , I ve tryed the Kawasaki ninja ( called ER6 f in Europe) and I was disappointed, u can see why it s cheaper, also the sound of the engine is soo sweet on Yamaha, the Kawa sounds like a tractor. Downside with Yamaha: heavy and the engine runs at a very high temperature, nice in winter, but no so much in Spanish summer. If I would recomend a beginner bike that s Honda Cbf 500, very cheap to buy and own, 5500 euros with abs.

[@MotorcycleExtremist]

Every "honest" tester that has ridden the new Honda CBR650F has complained about the excessive buzziness of the engine. What a shame. Painful numb hands and feet are not something I will accept from a bike. Honda really needs to get this issue corrected ASAP. Besides that the bike is really under-performing for the price. What should have been a slam-dunk home-run of a bike for them has turned out to be another dud. And with the historic lineage of this particular model, that's an even bigger shame.

[@MotorcycleExtremist]

[@MotorcycleExtremist]

[@MrSlowestD16]

[@XavierMOdAMO]

Zone Tv Id most certainly LOVE to see a 400cc VFR. My dream bike, really!

[@MotorcycleExtremist]

Zone Tv The Gladius (which I own), with a few choice upgrades will be as capable as most would find really usable on the streets. Of course it will never be cutting edge hardcore sportbike, but awesome all around and plenty for most people even in a sporting role. The only really bad thing about the bike is that for any decent braking capability you have to upgrade the master cylinder and pads, which as soon as I get the valve check/adjustment done will be my next thing for this bike.

[@djurcinovski]

That honda is sexy as hell in that red color

[@Edwin6932]

I have a 2016 Honda CBR650F and I have put 16000 miles and is fast ,comfortable and good on gas. I also put the two brothers tarmac full exhaust, heater grips and ABS. I was going to buy the CBR100RR and I had to give up my 650F. I decide to wait because the CBR1000RR is not the right bike to commute or travel long distance.

[@therealMistahT]

My best friend and I have 2012 FZ6R and Ninja 650. I feel like the brakes on his 650 are much better than my FZ and his bike feels incredibly light and flickable in comparison to mine. However, he has pricey tires and clip ons. All in all, been riding my FZ6R daily for just over 2 years now and love it. Comfy enough to go hours and quick/sporty enough to ride mountains with super sports. For anyone on the fence, go get one. The used ones are also stupid cheap in my area, a pristine 2012 on craigslist right now a little under 4k.

[@calgary2800]

I have a 14 Ninja 650 and replaced the handlebars with bikemaster superbars. It is lower for sure than stock and took me a few hundred miles for my body to get adjusted to it. I was having some aches and pains cause of the lower position. It sure handles better now for front end feel. Or you can go Ninja 650 sport bars. Either way give your body some time to adjust cause some people are more flexible than others.

Ninja 650 brought me here. it looks Awesome, and I can dig the Twin sound with a stock pipe. I like the Swing Arm on the Ninja over the Yamaha's, and the Honda is too expensive ($8k-10K) for a buzzy bike. No thanks on the Honda.

[@ndperson1]

I wish Yamaha would update the engine and lighten up the bike. I mostly wish they would give us a bit more out of the engine and not down tune it so much (so it would be more fun for experienced riders). I would buy one if it was a good deal like the fz 07 and was updates, especially now that many of the brands are fazing out the supersports sadly. middleweight bikes have usually been my favorite as they can have enough power to keep me entertained if they have about 85 hp or more and yet not so much that they require so much rider aids to be rideable for someone who isn't an expert. I really like the new naked bikes in the fz 09 range, but for me they are a bit too much. I really want power between the fz 07 and the fz 09 with a top end rush, and if they can have a fairing, all the better. but as things are now, I really want a street triple as it is such a great all around fun bike that handles great. it feels in some ways like a super sport but is comfy, and has some get up and go down below

[@MrJazzlover143]

I know you guys only rate stock bikes, but a lot of 650 ninja riders put sport bars and a after market exhaust with a power commandor. So I wonder what it would look like you you tricked out a few bikes in this class and put them head to head. It would be a very cool first.

They were ready to love the Kawasaki, due to good price, but we're let down by the high pegs in real life, and Yamaha just nailed it. (Which is why it won even without being as recently refreshed as the others)

[@raja777m]

FZ1 is street/touring bike, FZ-10 is street(naked), s1000xr is adv-touring bike, gsxs is street bike. Now, what is your purpose? Street, weekend mountain rides for sweeps and twisties? Take FZ-10 or Suz; While looks/sound are personal opinions, reliability wise, I would choose Yamaha or suzuki. Also, they are less cost of maintenance in the long run. You can get FZ1 brand new, left overs for pretty cheap and buy an after market headlight naked conversion kit or wait for FZ-10 with street version of R1 (both FZ1 and FZ-10 have same power, but more electronics on the latter). I've never ridden or owner BMW/Suzuki, but Go to specific forums and see what they complain about their rides..! Good luck, ride safe.

[@andrewbozhozr]

CBR600Fi was and stil is the BEST 600 that Honda ever made. It was sports bike that was set up for road. This 650 is touring bike that just can go fast. If you want performance and sporty feel, you need to pay more for RR.

I just bought 2011 kawasaki ninja 650r for $4000 with only 8k miles on it and its my first bike. Is it a good deal or you guys think i got ripped off?

[@danielmanzano4627]

on july 2018, I bought a 2016 at 4999$ with 5 miles on it. 2016 leftover in a dealer

[@borg386]

I like the ninja but the stupid light on the front only one light on it don't look right

[@mainkarakter5884]

i don't know what its called specifically but you can by lights that don't do that for the bike. It only looks like that because that is low-beam while high-beam is both headlights. so you can either buy those new lights, or just always ride with your high-beams on.

[@borg386]

Ron Da Bird at least there's an option right that helps thanks for the reply

[@fireoil]

Triump have to do a little gt with street triple heart. Also i want a new suzuki sv 1000s abs

[@kiddeath921]

Honestly i would go with the fz6r but it has no abs which pushes me away from that motorcycle my best bet is to get the kawasaki ninja 650 and buy sport bars.

[@kiddeath921]

kiddeath921 just found out there are no Kawasaki dealerships in my area *slowly claps* thanks Bramptonpowersports now my choices are the cbr650f with abs and the non abs fz6r sun of a gun :(

Hi there, I am driving a Yamaha MT-25 for 7000 km. And this is my all motorcycle experiance. I am confused between 2 motorcylces to choose as my next one... My Logic Says: CBR650F But I like the GSX-S750 a lot... Will the GSXS too powerful for me? Or Will be the CBR650F not underpowered for me? The reason for my question is that I do not want to change a motorcycle every year... P.S.: I am 41 years old. So my driving style will not be aggresive... ı am driivng only on weekends and 500km a day max on country road with lot of curves... Which one should I choose?

[@LoflcopteronBF3]

The Gsx s is a naked so you probably wont be driving it too fast or atleast not as fast as one with fairings.You say your driving style wont be aggressive so i guess cbr fits you better the gsxs is kinda like the fz09 in terms on mentality its more of a hooligan bike than a sensible one. sry for bad english im from germany

[@GarfinHD]

Is it any different in the USA ? I mean that FZ6 looks exacly like my yamaha xj 6 diversion-f which is 78 BHP, i couldnt see any difference TBH, FZ6 in europe is 100 BHP bike, is it the same in the US ?

[@MarekSzulen]

FZ6R (not FZ6, which is totally different bike) in fact is an american version of XJ6 Diversion F :) They're same, just different names.

[@Kupo969]

Why does no one discuss Yamaha's inline 4 vs the V-twins?

[@Death666wish]

You should've included the Hyosung GT650R, it's cheaper than all of these, has upside down KYB forks and rear suspension, makes more power than the Ninja, not saying it would be the best, but I'm sure it'd do well. When I first saw the Honda I was thrilled, not so much when I found out it's made in Thailand, and now I find out it's the most expensive in the category! I like the Ninja too but that's also made in Thailand.

[@kylesheehan3813]

Can anyone suggest the better bike between the fz6r and ninja 650

[@TheSmoky94]

fz6r (drive in 8000 rpm and +) magic

[@ThatGuyWhoFanDubs]

I love love love love love my ninja 650.

[@dipeshgurung5734]

Great job guys

[@TheMMObro]

my ninja has the sport bars :D idk the fz6r is sooo heavy. ninja is close but feels so much lighter bc weight distribution

[@TheMMObro]

never rode the hinda 650f so idk

[@whatsittoya3770]

TheMMObro the 650r sounds like a crappy lawn mower

[@96xr400]

I'd just like to find a bike that is comfortable for long rides and has plenty of power also, because my zx6r is not very comfortable

[@mainkarakter5884]

hey the sex3sex is the most comfortable bike in the universe

[@mahoaga0077]

First of all thanks for reviewing these bikes side by side, Honda cbr650f is more quality all over when comparing it with the other bikes specially the rear swing arm when you compare it with the other two which looks like a very cheap china made thin aluminium tubes the dash cluster is way better than the other two the fuel tank is not plastic the bars are way better you get 180 tyres at the back you get a way better brake system on it and much more and its a brand new model so the price has to be higher then the other two. when they say the Honda buzzed out more obviously looks like they never ridden a four cylinder bike before. cut out the cat and weld on a slip on exhaust then you see what this motorcycle turns into believe me you would not want any other bike apart from Honda cbr650f.

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

Wife chose the Yammy over the Honda 650f. It's raining nonstop in the NW right now so I haven't got a chance to ride it yet!! Rain is some BULLSHIT!

[@GrowingDownUnder]

+scooterdavis what bout yamaha mt 07?

[@ehlaw9224]

Anyone else, noticed the sign that say " NO PARKING "

[@andrembl6491]

Ninja.

[@paulmedcalf8149]

Where was the suzuki GSXF650?

[@craigmain248]

+Paul Medcalf They haven't sold that model in the US, since 2009.

[@BZeeLife]

Red Colors are 🔥

[@stanleyblazeraznik6047]

OMG...those sideburns make u look like Chuck Bronson!

[@raja777m]

In this competition, you're paying more for the HP on the Honda, FZ6R and Ninja 650 are less than 65hp, which is around 20hp less. And Kevin needs to back off a bit, he was coming on to Troy, starting from 9:20;

[@MarekSzulen]

FZ6R (aka Diversion F) is 78HP :)

[@raja777m]

Marek Szulen motorcycles.axlegeeks.com/l/348/2012-Yamaha-FZ6R 64hp. www.motorcycle.com/shoot-outs/middleweight-intermediate-sportbike-shootout-video 65hp

[@raja777m]

Marek Szulen btw, I used to own FZ6 until last month, 90+hp, stock..!

[@MarekSzulen]

I know FZ6 is 98HP, but it's a different bike than FZ6R, which is European XJ6 Diversion. (Don't know why it's called FZ6R in US btw). However, I didn't know that american version is restricted to 64HP only :) That's crap then ;) btw, currently I'm riding Honda CB650f, which is naked version of CBR. It's a very nice bike :)
