2019 Honda CBR650R
No it's not restricted
Yes it has an exhaust (Akrapovic full titanium)
Yes I know the audio sucks
Yes I know I ride like an idiot.
And yes, believe it or not I am using a Gopro Hero 10 and a Purple Panda mic.
Thank you :). - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
This bike is all you will ever need for the road. Fast, comfortable, decent suspension and you could ride it to the moon and back with very little issues say like a KTM 890 would have. Also a decent rider will bring this to the track and will not get embarrassed by anything. This comes from a guy who has had every type of bike possible (over 60 in total and 50 years old).
Well said!! I am fully in agreement 🙂.
@@tvtwistasmoto can a 6"4 tall be comfortable on this bike?
@@stevekim4162 don't think there are many bikes you would be comfortable on 🤣. But this bike is pretty big and not too hunched over, you will fit! Not perfectly......but you will fit.
@@tvtwistasmoto 👌thank you
How about 6.1? 😂
This engine note with a full pipe is something else brother cheers great video
Thanks 😁.
wish these werent so hard to come by in my area! really seems like the perfect bike
Watched 3 vids now incl. this one and we need more UK motovloggers like yourself 👏🏽 currently saving for a Daytona 675R
Ohhh my god!!!!! I forgot to mention the daytona 675r, I love that bike and I wanted to get one so much!!!! Great choice in bike!
Also thanks for the nice comment 😁, i'll keep doing my best.
Hey dude, buying an Aprilia RS660 is like buying a guaranteed migraine that is constant and won't ever go away until you sell the RS660.
What!!! Why?? Ok I think I know why.......but still........I was so close to buying that bike instead 🤣🤣.
Really cool video, i'm thinking about getting a CBR650R myself. Having analyzed what's on the market righ now, I fully agree with you about the in-line 4 aspect. Many people hate on it but to me it's a very important criteria, the sound is just addictive.
Yeah, i still can't get over it, I love the sound. There are so many bikes out there to choose from....yet the market sucks right now 🤣. Well whatever you end up getting, all the best!!! Especially if it's a 650r 😁.
I really dont see many people hating on inline 4 motorcyles lol
@@DraegerV1 People aren’t hating on in-line 4’s in general, but I see many people hating on this bike specifically since it’s in-line 4, but fairly “low” horsepower for being an in-line 4.
I'm a die hard Honda sport bike guy. That being said I owned the cbr 500r first and honestly bought my 650r because I'm 6'1 and I couldn't fit on a 1000rr or a 600rr. That left the 650r because my next bike had to have that amazing in-line 4!
I've had my 2022 cbr 650r for 2 weeks now and have put 850 miles on it ( had literally 0.0 miles on it when I bought it)
The only complaint I have is my fuel economy went from 65+mpg on my 500r to 40-44mpg I get on my 650. I use mine as a daily like you so I find myself filling up a lot more now.
I'm in the same boat as I am also 6'1 XD. And yep the fuel economy is worse and also im pretty sure the 650r actually has a smaller tank than the 500.
There aren't a lot of options for 4 cylinder bikes that's affordable as most of them are 1000cc superbikes, so yea it makes sense.
It might not be as light as it's 2 cylinder competitors, or even the strongest in the category, but the sound definitely makes up for it.
I hope that in a few years (when I'm ready to buy this kind of bike) they update the model to get more power out of it and also update the LCD screen, because it's so tiny and hard to see. Then I'd absolutely get this
Great points!!!! Sadly I think Honda want to keep this bike A2 friendly ( European Licence ) so I don't think the power will increase. But LCD/TFT display should happen.
Yeah the screen on CBR650r is complete garbage. One of the worst screens on any bike.
Guess what! Your prayers are heard! 2024 CBR650R has gotten even better in terms of looks and features especially theTFT dash that is just wow!
Hey men, i saw a few of your videos and you realy convey your point of view. Probably I will finish riding an 650r.
Thanks!! Glad I could help 🙂. I hope you enjoy the 650r if you get it!!
Such an amazing video! Congrats on your CBR650R! Great choice! I bought an older bike because it's my first motorcycle, but I grew up riding 80-500cc dirtbikes, which helped the transition... Anyway, I bought a 2008 Suzuki GSX650F. It's an awesome bike, but it's heavy at 531 pounds wet. I've ridden over 5k miles on it, and I've had no issues with the weight, or riding issues. It's been great! Anyway, I just subscribed. Cheers
-Chris
Wow! I had never come accross a GSX650F, very interesting. Congrats on your purchase, glad to hear you are enjoying the bike. I wish you safe and fun riding! Thanks for watching and for the sub 😁.
Not sure if I like your channel because I think you’re entertaining or because I’m really looking at getting a CBR650R. 😂 Ether way I’m enjoying your Channel keep it up man!
As much as I appreciate the thought of you liking me......the moment you get a 650r of your own you won't care about me anymore XD.
@@tvtwistasmoto you are an amazing person for sure.
@@shivarajullagaddi3449 😁😁😁
@@tvtwistasmoto sir cbr650r is my dream.next 2 or 3 yrs I'm gonna get it.pls ans me which exhaust will be the loudest for cbr650r sir??
@@shivarajullagaddi3449 I have not heard all of them so I don't know for sure. But the ones that I know sound really good and really loud are;
1. Akrapovic full titanium exhaust - what i have 🙂.
2. Mivv exhaust - I think this is maybe the loudest.
3. Black widow exhaust.
Those are the only ones I can think of.
You should check out the YT channel: EnglishBikerDan - he reviews different exhausts for the cb650r so maybe that will help you more 😁😁.
Glad you have the bike I’ve just bought the 2023 version in red and love it. A bit of vibration through the footpegs but I love Honda.
Congrats!! I'm glad you have the bike too 😁. Yeah that vibration is annoying but as you said Honda are awesome. I wish you a wonderful fun time on your new bike 😎.
Hey thanks for the reply. Ive subscribed and love your content. I also has the 500cc 2020 version as i hadnt rode for several years but i like the power of the 650 now.@@tvtwistasmoto
@@davidhill8163 Awesome, 500 to 650cc gang! 😂. Thanks for the sub I appreciate it 😁.
Hi nice channel. Great review. Nice bike. I did not like it stock bc it was VERY stiff and the road was shite but it is a nice bike.
I also can not decide yet between ZX-6R, CBR 600 RR and CBR 650 R. Really looking forward to testdrive all of them. Hopefully the super sports are comftable enough for me 🤞
Great vid 👏
Yeah if they are comfy enough for you the supersports are the way to go. But the 650r is no joke, it will do the job just fine. All the best on your moto journey and thanks for watching.
Right now i only have a small ninja 300. My dream bike is the cbr650r. I have 2 more years until i can get the A license and not be restricted. All the points you gave in this video apply to me aswell. I was (casually) looking at the rs660 but the price is high and i worry about the reliability. I have 2 honda dealers pretty nearby. I personally kinda want a bike with 85 to 100 HP which is a big upgrade to what i ride now. The 650r being inline 4 (which sounds amazing btw) you have to get the revs up high for the power so i think i can grow into it and maybe help keep things a bit safer. Love the video.
😁 I Love the ninja 300!! I never rode one but I used to be obsessed with it because I wanted it as my first bike. All your points about the 650r make a lot of sense and I'm sure you will enjoy the bike when the time comes. Thanks for watching! 🙂
When you think about it not much choice so honda makes a great and tempting choice. Plus the reliability of Honda is undeniable
Very true!!
Whats good guy? Nice vid. Yup I totally agree with your opinions regarding other sport bikes. I currently have a Yamaha R3 and deciding between a R7 or Honda CBR 650r. 🤔
R7: Look cool, feel cool, is cool
650r: Sound cool, go fast!!
Can't go wrong either way!
@@tvtwistasmoto Yeah as much as I love Yamaha, the R7 isn't a comfortable ride, low Hp, and a parallel twin and most important cost more then the 650r. I'm going for the Honda CBR 650r 2023 model "White". 👍👌
@@joemangune you will love it :) get a nice exhaust on that 4 cyl like the ixil one, you will fall in love w it
the cbr definitely gives off panigale vibes. especially in red, and de-stickered..
I completely get the styling thing. Same reason I got the CB650R
Hi thanks for the review im due to do my direct access in August. and like you iv been pondering and I keep getting drawn back to the bike you have (love the colour) Honda CBR650R :) Question What do you think of the Honda CBR650 F ? thanks keep riding be safe :)
Same bike, slightly older design. Most if not all I say about this bike applies to that one aswell. The differences are minor. If you find a great deal on a cbr650f I would say go for it! And thanks for watching 😁.
Can you do a vid on your winter gear for 2022 next.
I don't have the best winter gear to be honest XD. In fact I don't really have great gear in general. But thanks for the video idea I will talk about it very soon.
0:16 I'm pretty I heard your bike the other day...all the way from Australia 😂
Sounds mint mate!
Thank you. 🤣😁
Ngl, I considered tracking down a cbr650r after my 500r went horizontal on me. I enjoyed the riding position and the raised clip-ons, but Honda motorcycles are at premium cost in the states. I found a third gen SV650 and it’s done the trick for the last year. I’m considering replacing it with a GSXS 1000 or a Ninja 1000sx in a year or two. A 650 is perfect for the riding I currently do, but a little more oomph would be appreciated on the highway. Not keen on going back to body plastics but that Ninja 1000sx is surprisingly good for the fatty it really is
Yeah I've been on a SV650, great bike but as you said needs a little more oomph. Ninja 1000 is awesome though, just that I personally wouldn't be able to handle that fatty. 🤣
Personally the only thing missing from my cb500f, is the cbr styling and a 270° crank for the slightly more grunty sound.
But the 4cylinders on the 650 is another level of nice.
Loved my 500r so i get what you mean.
I bought cbr 600f pc41, couple more ponies than 650r and price was really cheap. 2011 model that registered first time 2015, one owner before me. 18k miles and mint condition :)
Yeah I forgot to mention that bike in the video. Was very tempted to buy a 600f. Good stuff!!!
Excellent narration.
Thank you!! Sometimes I listen back to the recording and worry that i'm making no sense, or that I sound annoying. So your comment means a lot 😁😁.
I'd love to see you compare this to the Daytona 660. I'm leaning towards the Daytona because of the triple sound and flat torque curve.
The Daytona seems better in every way besides looks....based on what i've read, not much better.....but better.
I have got CBR 650 R too. I love this bike ❤
Awesome!! Great to hear 😎😎
Here because I've been beating my '12 CBR250R, looking to double up to the 500R. 250 is my first bike, grew my confidence and skills exponentially. Would love something slightly faster, cant go wrong with the Honda badge.
Interesting!! You are deciding between a 500r and a 650r?
@@tvtwistasmoto Yes, the 500r will probably be the winner. Moving to Ireland next weekend and I think thats the highest I can go. Been riding with a Learners License in my country, its valid for a year (you can book for the license test within the years validity) and you can ride whatever you like. The categories dont allow that much freedom so that'll be an adjustment.
@@DRS0395 I see, well I hope the move goes smoothly. The 500r is a great bike for sure, I loved mine. You can't go wrong either way both the 500r and the 650r are great!!!
I have a Ninja 250R when I found out how to wheelie it and do burnouts got a Bandit 1200 had it for 6 months before I blew the engine. Then got a CBR600RR 😂
Great exhaust
7:28 you’re literally the same as me.
My dreambike is the matt black 2019 R6 with an exhaust.
Fast enough and an even better sound than our cbr650r’s…
nice vid mate
Thank you :)
Just curious, what does those curvy paint lines on the road means? Lol, i Always see them on every videos from UK
I've gotten this same comment before and i never have any idea what lines you are talking about 🤣.
What exhaust is that? It sounds phenomenal! And is it too loud to the point where you need earplugs when you ride?
Thanks!! It's a Full Akrapovic Titanium Exhaust. It is supposed to come with a baffle or sound supressor, if that is fitted then you will be fine. Mine does not have it fitted though and it does get uncomfortably loud when you are going at high speeds for a while, like on the highway. I do wear ear plugs when I commute.
I've got a 500r, and it's brilliant - if only I could buy basically same bike just with more power.....that's why I want the 650r 🤣
Then the 650r is perfect! :)
Considering upgrading from XJ6 naked to this one. Sounds absolutely brilliant and is fucking perfectly looking
Yeah the bike is amazing!! Not sure if there would be a great difference in power though.
@@tvtwistasmoto My XJ6 has 78hp so it’s not far from there no but it’ll still be an upgrade for me qualitywise and also that it’s a sport-look rather than naked.
I’m on my kind of 1st real season now so I think it’s still wise and enough with a 650 haha😁 Got to test my friends’ S1000RR and hol* sh****t!!! But I told myself I must be at least a little responsible and resist my temptations for a litre bike, way too early..😁
No matter what you made a great choice!
For sure!!!!!
Triumph Street Triple 765 RS. But it's a neked. I have Aprilia rs 660, loving it.
Yeah I thought about the 765, very cool bike, and I like Triumph. The rs 660 must be so much fun!!!!
Astig i love it... Ride safe
😁😁 Awesome!!! Thanks.....you ride safe too.
I am currently on a BMW G310R. Do you recon this would be a good step up when I get my full license?
For sure. It is a very safe option. If you want a bit more kick and fun you could even go for the 600rr, honda released a new one 😎😎.
7:58 man you gotta have confidence and believe in yourself.
That's not a lack of confidence 🤣. That is just fact, supersport positioning would kill me, my body is not built for that. Upright comfy bikes for me!!!
The cbr650r is WAY more powerful and faster than the cbr500r. Unless you’re needing to outrun someone I can’t imagine anyone NEEDING to go faster than the cbr650r can go (WANT to maybe, but not NEED to). Most TH-cam videos puts its top speed at 150+ mph and my experience bears that out. I haven’t gotten mine up to 150 mph but I’ve gotten into triple digits a few times with plenty left on the bike and it will cruise at 80 mph at 6,000 rpm’s (red lines at 12,000 and has 14,000 on the tach). And it’s comfortable for a sport bike and I love the in line 4.
Got more or less all the same requirements as you seems like this bike is by far the best choice out of them all
should i get the cbr 650r (9k€) right after i made my drivers license (its my dream bike rn) or should i buy a crappy bike (1k€) for the first 2 years of riding instead? And then buy the 650 with the full 98hp or maybe a Mt10 (im 18)
Honestly i would say buy the bike you want, don't be afraid of damaging or dropping a new expensive bike. It's gonna happen anyway 🤣. Also even if you wanna start on a crappy bike, it won't be 2 years before you upgrade. Trust me you will be itching for a new bike in a few months lol. Thanks for watching 🙂.
Yamaha should make an R9! I really want one.
If Yamaha had an R9 I would not have this bike 🤣.
Now theres a ZX4R out, same price range, how would you compare both?
I wouldn't compare both 🤣. Love the idea of the zx4r but unless you specifically want a Kawasaki, the 650r is a bigger better version of the zx4r in my opinion.
Yes exactly, only inline 4, twin sounds horrible imo. Listen to that cbr650r sound and yes r6 is coool but too expensive
Hi, I have a CBR650R and love it, but I also have a Kawasaki Z1000SX, and honestly couldn't recommend it highly enough, worth a thought maybe 🤔
Don't need to sell me on a Z1000SX 🤣. I love the Kawasaki Z1000 series of bikes.
Do you know whats the difference between CBR650R and CBR600RR? The price difference in them in huge.
600rr is a supersport, cooler, faster, more agressive, for the track. 650r is the slower more commuter friendly version.
Agree with you on alternative
Cb650r vs cbr…. Cbr wins it looks so much better
Kawasaki 650. Sounds crap and not enough power
Aprillia…good alternative but worries about reliability
Yeah, all great bikes i'm sure.....but, yeah the cbr650r just has that edge over them.
How is the weight? For a slightly weaker powered bike do you think the weight is worth compared to a normal 600?
To be honest, the weight is too much for a bike of this power, especially compared to a 600. It is still a good riding experience though, the bike has enough power to feel at least somewhat nimble. Also the bike is more comfortable than a supersport or 600 so the weight is much easier to manage.
Well you can feel that it's heavy for the power, otherwise on the road, the bike is so well balanced you won't feel it's weight
It is heavy for what it is. It's top heavy as well, a bit of a pain moving it around. It's not an issue on the road though.
I am looking at first bikes/getting into the bike scene and I’m wondering what would everyone’s opinion be? Should I go a cbr650r or a r7 (full fairing bikes) or an mt-07/650nk
Naked bikes are usually more comfortable than sports bikes (full faring bikes). So it may be easier to get used to more comfortable bike first. But other than that all of those bikes have simillar power anyway so it really comes down to style and design, what looks the best to you. In my opinion however if this is your very first bike and you have no riding experience at all. I would suggest something even smaller maybe in the 250cc - 400cc range. That way you can get used to riding without worrying about the weight of a bigger heavier bike with too much power.
@@tvtwistasmoto Those are all very good points thank you for your feedback 🙂
@@zappymaddoggamingyt7440 No prob. Best bit of advice I can give you is to go look at the bikes in person, sit on them and if possible take a test ride. I was almost going to buy a Suzuki gsxs 1000 but then when I saw it in person I decided I wanted the cbr650r instead 🤣.
I plan on starting on a CBR650R.
@@dracovoid5290 I ended up getting a new CBR650R have put around 350kms on it so far I’m loving it 😊
I am thinking to start for a2 with this bike or the crf 300rally.
Well those are two very different bikes 🤣. I would say.....go for the one you think you will have more fun on.
Yeh, the R6 - like the new R7, is a dedicated track bike. It's built for a singular purpose. It's AMAZING at that. Not much good for anything else.
True, i would still love to test one at some point though.
@@tvtwistasmoto Absolutely, an R6 track day sounds awesome!
You only put the rear seat cover on this one right?
To change the rear styling.
It came with the bike, so I just left it like that. But I would have put one on myself anyway, as you said, to change the rear styling.
@@tvtwistasmoto Ok alright, so it's the Honda rear cover.
Very nice
@@Daniel-dj7fh Yes, the Honda rear seat cowl. Thanks!!!
GOD FUCKIGN YES to the 2024 version
That's my next bike for sure@@tvtwistasmoto
why the f, they put that oldschool brake master cylinder? it reminds me my cb400sf...
Agreed. Honda are great and all but they sometimes do things that make me go 🤔.
Because it's AWESOME!!!!!!!
Any changes you’ve made to the bike since buying it?
No, but my next video is gonna be a walkaround where i show all of the mods already on the bike (It came with mods) and talk about what I'm gonna do to it in the future.

Simular reason I got my cbr650 though I will get a zx6r when I'm legally allowed to in Australia
Cool!! That sounds like a good plan! I would love to know how the two bikes compare/differ.
You definitely should try Kawasaki 1000SX 😉
Lol if i mentioned every bike I thought of getting......the video would be an hour long. But the 1000SX was high on the list.........and still is to be honest 🤣
Soon I'll get this bike 🙏🙏🙏
YES!!! INDEED YOU WILL!!! 😎😎

Just 4 cylander , right ? I hate Honda brand always be push overprice than it would be worth.
🤣 fair point.
did you consider the SUZUKI HAYABUSA. Simply all you need for your motorcycling career.
🤣🤣😅 How could I forget the Hayabusa, that would have been the perfect bike for me. I would be dead 🤣, but it would be perfect.
I love the black red, but why the 2023 has Fcking blue! that looks like shit! it makes me cry! I hope they sticked with Red.
What exhaust do you have?
Full Titanium Akrapovic Exhaust.
We waited half a year for that bike in Malaysia 😂😂 due to lack of production
how much is this bike in Malaysia？
Interesting
R6 is it a supersport?
Yes an R6 is a supersport. A cbr650r is not.
let's be honest the cbr650r is litterally the prettiest sport bike ever made
Hey, if u say so!!!
Is your speedometer in K's or Mi?
For LeGal reasons...... 🙃......I'm gonna say it's in K's. Do you get what I'm trying to say?? 🤣🤣.
@TV TWISTAS MOTO I understand 😉 definitely no slouch then. I was on the fence to buy one of these however watching this has made me want the cbr650r. Been out of the bike scene for around 20 years now, should be a nice bike to get back into it.
@@deant6627 Yeah, ofcourse it's not the quickest bike, but I am still yet to push it to it's max, so not a slouch indeed. I think this is a great bike to get back into riding with!! All the best, and I wish you fun riding!!! 😁
Crikey mate, you don't want to show the clocks when you're speeding. That can be used to prosecute you.
I'm getting told that more and more :( I like showing it but it might have to be covered or blurred.
