NEW 2024 Honda CBR650R - First Impressions / Review

[@makesense1607]

I had 2022 version and last summer rode 12700 trouble free kilometers with it. I have zero complaints about the bike. I'm sure 24 model isn't any different what comes to reliability. Happy riding 😃

[@devvo-apexmobile5833]

I actually had a question i was wondering if you can easily ride the bike for 310 miles without back pain or anything else? Cuz as you know the sport bikes is a disaster in terms of comfort.

[@AkaiCBR]

@devvo-apexmobile5833 without pain? Not entirely. It’s definitely not as bad as some super sports. It takes some getting used to.

[@KalNation]

They improved a perfect bike, how cool is that 😅

[@paul-ku]

@@devvo-apexmobile5833 back hourts because your back is week, not trained. To ride sports bike you have to be fit. I have no issues with back, sometimes legs sore after long active riding.

First English review I have seen so far. Thanks

[@AkaiCBR]

Thank you for watching!

[@captricharddee3634]

Thank you for speaking in English, very much appreciated. I watch many motorcycle related videos and when I hear German, for all I know, they could be saying, "This bike is excellent and nearly as fast as a migrant trying to reach Germany".

[@AkaiCBR]

😂 thank you for your kind words

[@MichaelBuur]

Very comprehensive review and well structured. I see you did it all in 1 take without edits. It's clear you prepped well for this first impressions video. I'll be getting the 2024 CBR400R here in Japan. It's the same as the 500R model in Europe but detuned to comply with Japanese tiered licensing (similar to A2 licenses, but capped at 400cc instead of 46 PS). Benefit for us here is the 400R redlines at 10,000 RPM instead of 8,500 for the 500R. Love how the whole 2024 line-up for Honda bikes has a similar aesthetic with the red bodywork and blue decals/styling. Have a great time with your new bike, she's a beast.

[@AkaiCBR]

Thank you very much. I’m still new to making videos, so I tried it in one take, feels more authentic. Have fun with your bike and ride safe!

[@urme-px1qn]

nice video g, i like the commentary. really want this bike, soon as i get the money im going for it!

[@AkaiCBR]

[@luxorcephrenSE23]

Congratulations on your new bike! I also have one, received 2nd March with sports pack. One thing I did aftwr a few rides was adjust the shock absorber as in default it was set to 2 which was way eay too soft! I currently have it at 5 and its great but will definitely increase stiffness some more the next time i ride out.

[@AkaiCBR]

Thank you, same to you! I’ll look into that, thanks for the hint :)

[@RussRyan7713]

Great bike! I got mine in the UK 2 weeks ago. I added the race pack. I have the Evotech tail tidy to fit. Best Colour. Love the new Red and the new front and rear lights. Those roads look great! in the UK i am watching for pot holes everywhere at the moment. Yours is one of the first reviews I have seen for it that are not from the Philippines and e-clutch. I can add that if you buy the quickshifter its a lot of fun :) Just hold the throttle constant and flick up the gears even at low rpm for cruising around. For me its a fun bike for the nice weather only. Which is why I have only managed 120 miles so far. Keeps raining!. Ride safe! Thanks for the video.

[@AkaiCBR]

Thank you! Ride safe. Definitely thinking of upgrading with a quick shifter later!

[@MegaGuy2010]

I have the black version with the sport pack. The quick shifter is a must in my opinion, does the evotech tailtidy fit the 2024 model?

[@RussRyan7713]

@@MegaGuy2010 nice. Yeah they do a 2024 edition if the tail tidy. Someone else on here has already fitted it. Looks good. Dealer needs to fit my OEM heated grips as the 24 has a different connection. So they are going to fit the tail tidy too same time.

[@luxorcephrenSE23]

I also got the new 650r earlier this month in red with sports pack. Funnily enough I keep using clutch when upshifting!😅 Need to remember it's not necessary! Lovely bike and I'm tempted by tail tidy but aware of the water flick in rain. Got handlebar heaters too and they help a bit.

[@bachpham5357]

Hi, beautiful bike. Is this the A2 restricted version ? If so do you feel that it lacks too much power ? Considering that it's 209kg, A2 restricting it means almost no low rev power no ?

[@AkaiCBR]

Thank you! My bike is not restricted. I have a friend who rides the 23 model restricted though. He is doing fine with it! The lower end power doesn’t really change, just the top speed etc.

I want the new Honda CB650R with the e-clutch so bad. But since it's not coming to the US (at least not in 2024) so I got the Suzuki GSX-8R instead. Still, it is a compromise and I am disappointed that I can't get the bike I really wanted.

I absolutely love the CBR650R, but I really wish Honda would add cruise control & some of the other cool features the Aprilia RS660 has. I do a lot of highway riding, which is why my next bike will have cruise control. I hate not having it on my Suzuki GSX650F.

Great review, thanks for sharing. In such a crowded market, what was the deciding factor(s) for choosing this bike. Hopefully it's mostly aesthetics

[@AkaiCBR]

Mainly the look. The new style is incredible. Secondly the 4 cyl. I wanted something very smooth. And at last, the screen and features!

Awesome video, just remember your recording with your head, so try to keep it still ahahah

I have the same model 2023 year with a quick shifter. I am still braking it in, only 250km riding it until 5K RPM.

[@someoneelse1i1i]

I have the red 2023 and I love it. I’m actually happy with all the features on the 2023 but I understand them adding the TFT display and the new shifting. (And while I also understand making the color more like the “fireblade” I like the 2023 color better)

[@AkaiCBR]

I do like the throwback, the design is exactly what I wanted, red is my favorite color too

[@JoseFerrer-v9t]

I'm just learning about motorcycles as I'm trying to get one and to be honest with you the e-clutch bike be perfect for me as the regular clutch bike be in the way as I live in the city so this bike is perfect 👍

[@AkaiCBR]

The e clutch is very helpful! As long as you don’t use it wrong it’s fine but most likely very expensive to repair

[@knowledge3207]

Awesome bike, i want to pick one up next year but money is the issue :(. Im still limited to A2 (going for the A license next year) and this has honestly been my dream bike. Sporty but not a supersport and can be used for longer road trips. And ofcourse a 4 cyl. Hope i can figure out how to earn a bit extra so i can buy one and get rid of my ninja 300.

[@AkaiCBR]

You’ll get there for sure!

Congratulations on the new bike, brother. One feedback i would give on the video quality is that the camera is shaky. It takes away from a good watching experience.

[@Bern284]

Hallo AkaiCBR. Du sprichst sehr gutes Englisch und Glückwunsch zu deiner neuen CBR! Ich finde die schwarze CBR auf der einen Seite hübsch aber auf der anderen Seite ziemlich langweilig und frage mich, wie gut die rote komplett ohne Streifen aussehen würde, da ich kein Fan von diesen Streifen bin und mir gut vorstellen kann, dass sie ohne Streifen stark aussehen könnte... Sind bei dieser roten CBR die Streifen auf dem Tank geklebt oder einlackiert? Auf der Verkleidung sind die Streifen geklebt, korrekt? Hast du dich mittlerweile an der roten Farbe sattgesehen oder feierst du sie weiterhin? Gibt es etwas neues bezüglich diverser Austauschteile, z.B. kurzer Kennzeichenhalter, Auspuff etc.? Danke im Voraus. Grüße

[@AkaiCBR]

Danke erstmal! Die rote Farbe gefällt mir sehr gut mit dem Akzenten. Nur die auf den Tank sind fix. Hab auch überlegt die über den Lichtern ab zu machen. Noch nicht sicher… Ich liebe das Bike aber weiterhin und würde jedes Mal wieder rot kaufen, ist halt zum Glück auch meine Lieblingsfarbe 😂 zwecks KZH hab ich einen link in dem wasch Video - Auspuff gibt’s leider noch nix, hab auch schon direkt bei den Herstellern angefragt :(

[@visheshthegr8]

Hi, I am planning on buying one of the Honda 650 twins (no e-clutch), but can't decide between them. Both are great bikes. How did you come to the conclusion of buying the Sport variant, instead of the naked variant. Can you share the reasoning. Thanks.

First of all, great video, second, would you recommend this bike as a first bike purchase? How's the learning curve on this one? I'm getting my A license next year when I turn 24 and I'm keen on buying this one mainly because it's 4cyl with under 100HP. Would it be hard to master it properly? How's your experience so far after break-in and everything? Thank you in advance!

[@AkaiCBR]

I still haven't completed break-in phase, my service is due on april 11th - I started on an SV 650 which has much more power from the bottom up, the CBR 650R feels mighty at first but it's got really good handling and a very linear power band. If you respect your machine, you should be totally fine. The 4 cylinder allows for a good learning experience as it's very smooth and doesn't need to shift much!

[@uros2909]

⁠@@AkaiCBRThank you! If you could record a video after april 11th telling us your experience after a month of use, that would ve been great!

[@AkaiCBR]

@@uros2909 Definitely will! Bike is currently at the dealership, getting the broken screw fixed and then i'll make a video installing the license plate holder. I got my new cam set up for recording rides, just need to be able to ride hahahaa

[@someoneelse1i1i]

The cbr650r is at the “outer edge” of what could be considered a beginner bike. While it has a pretty stout top speed (around 150 mph) it doesn’t have a lot of low end torque. This makes it a little better for the beginner since it doesn’t tend to “leap off the line” at intersections if you give it a little more throttle than you intend. Since you’re 24 and not a teenager, you likely have the maturity to start on this kind of bike. The good thing is that it can also be a “keeper” for quite some time since, at 95 horsepower, it’s much more powerful on the top end than most bikes you might start on.

[@uros2909]

​@@someoneelse1i1i Thank you for your comment. Yeah, that part about being a "keeper" is definitely one of the reasons as to why I would buy one, since I won't get bored of it after one year of riding, and I can always learn some new things on it for several years. I also think it's a great middleweight bike where you get the power, but like you said, it won't kick you off the seat if you give a lot of throttle, and it can keep up with likes ZX6R, R6, GSX6R and such.

[@piotrkowalski2394]

Beautiful bike. Are you planning any modicications to the motorcycle?

[@AkaiCBR]

Yes, I’m planning on changing the license plate holder, maybe the rims down the line. Not much you can do to your bike here legally :(

[@DroidLocks6971]

Do these handlebars have you hunched over like a 600cc or are you in a more upright riding position

[@AkaiCBR]

More upright, they are clamped on above the bridge

[@barsylmaz6159]

Just found the channel while looking new cbr650r videos. Saying because you mentioned about video quality advice. You should check the options of your camera for stability. Image is very shaky. Also for friendly advice. If you wanna care for your gearbox you can start training for revmatch. While you are downshifting even with slipper clutch without any electronic help it is unhealthy for your gearbox if you don't do revmatch. That is why you are hearing that tak tak noices while downshifting. At 11:40 you are trying to do revmatch but it is totally unsync right now.

[@AkaiCBR]

Thanks, I’ve been revmatching for a while. Getting better at it, but sometimes it’s not required!

Are you from Canada? They said you need to start with a 400cc below bike when getting a license for a beginner

[@AkaiCBR]

Are you talking about changing from gauge to showing range? If so, you hit „Right“ go down to the second option, right again and there you can switch the display. Let me know if that helps?

[@ash-6867]

@AkaiCBR650R thank you for the reply bro, she's tucked away now ill try again tomorrow. I can get to the "page" where is says fuel/range but regardless of which one I select, the homescreen lioks the same. There is a number at the bottom left, when I picked the bike up it said 29, after riding it home 10 miles, it said 31.. my petrol couldn't of gone up and I wasn't exactly riding conservatively so I'd doubt the MPG was improving as I was riding.

Hello from France, I'm an old biker, and I've always liked the look of sports bikes. This bike is a perfect compromise between power, pleasure and handling. I bought the 2023 model last year, and I like it a lot. Comfortable for a sport/gt. The 2024 model is the same apart from the decoration and the speedometer, I hesitated to order the 2024, but I think that would be stupid!.

Its a good beginner bike as long as you are not stupid. Its not a 600cc with sudden torque spykes, the throttle is almost linear.

It was my first bike, ride smart dont do stupid things and you will enjoy it. Great bike

[@stefaandeswert377]

Looks great, just such a bummer Honda didn't put in the effort to shed weight and add torque down low. It's just not exciting to ride to me. If i were to buy this bike it would be for the looks but not for the excitement. If I'm not mistaken it also not cheap. Add 1000 euro more and you get yourself a street triple RS or a duke 890r. Which are far superior bikes.

[@AkaiCBR]

In terms of power, yeah you can get something stronger for less. Even my SV650 blows the cbr out of the water. But that’s not really what its about, it’s much more about the lifestyle of naked vs Sport. I figured out I prefer sport much more even with the limited torque!

[@SWTVENOM]

The E-clutch of course is not neccessary unless you have a left hand disability like myself OR do a lot of slow speed commuting....actually an E clutch would also be WONDERFUL in a manual shift sports car when in stop and go traffic ....whoever said it would be expensive to maintain? THAT makes no sense Honda builds stuff to last it is just a couple little motors and a mechanism that is controlled by the ECU....lots of stuff on the bike will need more maintence than that Ill bet....motorcycles in general are maintence intensive compared to automobiles....LOL anyone that is afraid of maintence costs? LOL a Sportbike is not a good choice! Wait until you pay for a a full service with valve adjustment! And if you ride hard those tires wont last 5k miles and drive chain maybe 15 0r 20....then again ridden gently not canyon carving just highway you can go some miles on tires etc ....my tires never last more than 3k and damn they are getting PRICEY! Like $500 a pop

Its ridiculous places that outlaw filtering! So much more dangerous for riders stuck in lines with much heavier cars waiting to be rear ended at any moment because bikes are harder to SEE!

Filtering actually helps decongest traffic. Thanks for speaking Logic! 🙏
