Why I Chose a 2024 Honda CBR650R As My First Sport Bike

[@raymondrb]

I bought my CBR last week. Same process.... did all the research and basically came down to CBR650 and the Yamaha XSR900. Love my CBR and the E-Clutch is amazing. Ride Safe

[@T3CHNOskillz]

It seems most people who bought the CBR the main reason is riding position. It’s definitely the most comfy to ride for an hour

Great choice of bikes; you'll love the Honda CBR 650R. Ride safe and enjoy it. Cheers.

[@T3CHNOskillz]

i already love it so much. i just wish it was summer already so i can enjoy it some more. only got about a month with it before it got to cold

I picked my 24 CBR650R over the others on looks and seat height. I have a 28" inseam and I can put feet down on toes on this bike. I also wanted phone connection etc so the 24 model. For me it's the best looking bike in the class, especially in Red and with the seat cowl. 94hp is plenty for the road and the inline 4 gives me 2 bikes. Below 6k it's mild mannered and easy to cruise. Then goes a bit mental about 6k when you want to have fun. I added heated grips for some colder riding.

Hell get u some winter gear and some thermal gloves just depends on where u live

[@T3CHNOskillz]

@@CodyHooks-p7v this week the weather is in the low 20s. That’s to cold for me even with thermal gear

This bike is plenty fast for what i use it for commuting not only that like you said its super comfortable and extremely reliable i currently have 32k miles not km no valve adjustments and it hasnt gave me not even one problem and the maintenance is super easy except the spark plugs lol 😂

I just bought one yesterday, i pick it up tomorrow, but i have learned on groms and smaller displacement bikes... im a bit older at 43, and im a big guy, so i wanted something comfortable.... I was looking at this verses, the suzuki 8r... but that bike was just took upright i think.. anyway ive always felt like you cant go wrong with a honda

[@Triple3Degen]

Which fender eliminator did you purchase? I can’t find one other than the evotech and I don’t like buying international items

[@T3CHNOskillz]

@@Triple3Degen mine is the EVO tech

[@HVAC-T]

Is the Comfortability really worth it when its so slow compared to a GSX8R in similar price range. The V-twins give such good power compared to the slow 4cylinder

[@T3CHNOskillz]

@@HVAC-T the best way I can put it is that what’s the point of riding a motorcycle you can’t enjoy. If it hurts you for riding because the position is too aggressive than the ride won’t be enjoyable. Atleast with the CBR you can still go fast and you won’t be hurting after riding it for an hour

[@juanticimo]

The 4cyl is only slow down low, the CBR650R is actually the faster of the two bikes as far as top speed is concerned.

[@RS3DJ-uc8ti]

Would you recommend this bike as a first bike for someone?

[@T3CHNOskillz]

@@RS3DJ-uc8ti if you’ve never ridden I’d say no. If you have some experience then I think this bike is very forgiving. The bike doesn’t wake up till about 6,000 rpm. You can twist the throttle and you’ll gain some speed but if your rpm’s aren’t high your front wheel is steadily planted on the ground

[@juanticimo]

Get a honda grom. Ride that for 6 mos to a year, and once you can ride that with no fear, upgrade
