Can’t emphasise enough how much I love the direction the production of your videos is headed...! Incredible work Dan, keep it up if you can I really enjoy your content
Was one day from buying a new 2020 for a decent discount before i saw this video. Didn't realize the 2021 was updated and i managed to find one for around the same price as the 2020. This video saved me
I'll take the CB125R as my first bike, and I will probably change it when I'll take the license to this one. Glad to see that an already good bike is being updated🤩
Dan, it’s interesting you imply that you’d upgrade had the changes been more significant, especially after all the other bikes you’ve been reviewing. I too “settled” into my cb650r and like it enough that I can’t seem to identify a “next” bike. This is actually bothering me because I always like to have a potential next bike. For reference I had an mt07 before the cb650r and other bikes prior; the cb650r has been my best all rounder according to my riding style and is keeping me very satisfied. Cheers.
I thought the 2019-2020 already had 41mm Showa SFF forks? One thing you didn't mention, but did show nicely was that the front fender will now match the tank color. Thanks for another great video. Watching your videos helped me decide to buy my 2019. Got a great deal on it as a leftover for $7200 US, and put 4000 miles on it since May.
Been in love with it since the release, especially in blue, wanting it as a first bike. I fear a bit on the colder weather as it's a naked, but boy if it's worth the suffering for those looks 😁
No update on the front light? That's the only update needed imo. In tight corners there's a dark spot on the road. The forest is well lit up and just in front of the wheel likewise together with the ditches. Some have complaints about the seat, I find it perfect! I like the coloured front mudguard. And yes, it must be difficult to improve this bike. Done 27 000km on my -19 and it's sooo goood!
No changes to the light as far as I know. It's not great at night and suffers the same issue as most of these middleweight naked bikes with the single headlight. That said, I still love the thing and it always puts a smile on my face.
Still no TFT display, just adjusting the angle and making the screen bigger, I cannot see that making a huge difference on a nice sunny day. We will see.
@@Englishbikerdan with one would you chose? CN650R 2021 or Triumph Trident 2021? I know they not here yet but for info an look we know already? (edit) nevermind I already found your opinion that you're not a fan of Trident style ;)
The only thing I hope they have improved is the seat. Seat was and still remains the biggest negative of the naked (at least) Honda bikes. And yet I still have just placed an order for a 2021 model, haha.
@@paolocapani It's too stiff. You can't ride the bike for more than 45min-1h. At least in my experience. Your ass gets hella sore. I remember I brought my factory seat to a guy on '08 Hornet to make it more comfortable (they added more foam) because the original seat had like 1-2cm of foam inside. Which compared to all other bikes is a joke.
I had the original CBR650F and absolutely loved it, i rode it by the scruff of its neck and not once did it ever let me down, it was also one of the best ever sounding bikes with that akra imo, really did everything you could ask for, only issue i had was false neutrals but i think that was more age related as it only became an issue the last year of ownership, now i have a 2018 Blade which is just mental i love it to bits and a KTM 390 Adventure which is also fantastic however i do really like the new CB650R and would love to take it for a spin sometime
@@marcusgeorge1825 Yes I'm fully aware that my bike already has SFF. The news is that the suspension has been upgraded to SFF-BP. Which is a significant upgrade.
Some of the new Honda's coming through, have the USB-C connection on the side of the instrument panel; as with the Africa Twin and the new CB350. I would have preferred this, along with Apple & Android connectivity, as per the new Forza 750; which is about to be released. I also suspect, that this new Euro 5 compliant engine from the Forza, will find its way into an updated NC750X too.
But have they improved the quality? My old cbf1000 is not as good as the 900 hornet I had before. Not sure what country they were built in, bit of shame we need to investigate the origin of a bike before buying
Awesome, I was looking forward to these updates. Especially for euro 5 regulation and improved dashboard readability. Do you know if Suzuki sv650 will conform to euro 5 too?
Awesome video as usual Dan. Love my CB650R as well and I watched your videos many times over before buying it. I agree it’s great that they’re listening to their customers but also keeping the current owners happy that the updates are not too significant. Let us know what you have in plans for your next mod? Ie steering damper, monoshock, lightweight rims etc.
Next year, i will definitely change the forks, its the only one thing that i dont like on my 2020 CB650R. Maybe there should be adjustable forks for that money it costs.
Need help deciding which option is better guys. So for this bike(second hand), what would you do: Pay about $AUD 8000 for 30,000 kms or around $AUD 11000 for 5000 to 10000 kms?
@@Englishbikerdan ah damn. Well we'll have to wait and see if it makes a big dfference. Are you planning on taking out a demo bike? I would love to hear your thoughts
@@Englishbikerdan hopefully not too much if there is an increase. I'll hold out until this one is released and if its a bit of a jump hopefully get a deal on a 2020 model!
Does it mean that the total weight of 2021 model will be a bit lower vs. the older one? The current one is around 202kg if I remember it correctly, right?
Wish they’d put the nicer display from the CBR1000RRRRRR-RRR. I hate how some companies reserve things like that for premium models only. Honda, look what Kawi doing, beautiful display on their 650’s
Sadly it drives the asking price up and makes the premium models, less premium! I get it from a business point of view. Yes the Kwak has a nice TFT but the Honda's have way better power, brakes and suspension. I know which I'd rather have.
With the euro 5 can u put a euro 4 on the bike? Cause they don't exist on euro 5 And I saw the specs of 2020 and 2021 and u lost 1 Newton meter and to have all power now you need more 1k rpms before it was at 8500rpm and now full power at 9500rmps maybe we feel more dip at 6k rpm comparing with the 2020 cb650r

@@Englishbikerdan what about that weight? Is 202kg "too much" when it comes to handling and newbie-friendly riding considering there are way lighter competitors such as yamaha MT07? I like CB650R but this particular parameter is still a question for me whether its gonna be OK for the beginner
@@Englishbikerdan thanks a lot for your experience. I was comparing the weight figures with the key competitors (MT07, Kaw Z650 or for example Ducati Monster 797) and all of them were around 180-190kg so I was not sure about how much this difference make it more difficult to handle for the beginner.
I just ordered a Red 2020 model and got it £400 cheaper than the 2021 model. The changes seem quite small. Euro 5 stuff is meaningless especially if the pipe is replaced with a different system. If the front forks are too firm I have the option to replace the fork oil to a lighter grade. Handlebar angle? Anyone can change this in a few minutes. I also intend to fit a shade on the screen and fit a dark smokes screen. I reckon that's worth a saving of £400
Not sure, personally I think the new front suspension alone is worth the extra. Big enough difference that fork oil alone won't change that much. BUT, as long as you're happy that's all that matters 👍
@@Englishbikerdan I'm pretty sure progressive springs and fork oil will make a huge difference. Not got it yet but considering my dealer can't get any stock from Honda now, If I wanted a red one it was my only option anyway.
@@RichardsModellingAdventures New springs would help a bit for sure. There's a massive shortage of bikes all over so I don't blame you. I'm impatient too!

Ah yeah, tbh there's not much on my website at the mo but thanks for the headsup! Glad you've enjoyed the CB650 vids. I'll do one about the Healtec quickshifter at some point.
EnglishBikerDan please tell them to do it! I‘ve been looking forward to this bike ever since! The motor of the 500F is just plain perfect for me, yet I fell in love with the Design of the 650R and can‘t buy a 500F anymore...
I've never had a problem with the screen. I have the CBR650R which obviously has more shelter / shade due to the fairing for the instruments and also a smoked screen which keeps the dash in shade as well.
Can you tell me some of the main differences of the riding experience that you’ve noticed between the CB650R and the Trident? What do you like/dislike about each? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know I really debated between this bike and a street triple. I could only buy the CBR new and so it was obviously much cheaper to buy the street triple used and idk that I'd even consider the honda now.
@@Englishbikerdan Absolutely, but sadly the competition will be the Triumph badge and Trident name. That's what many people buy these days. Also, friend has Triumph Bobber and just paid £230 for a basic oil and filter change but they did also check there were no loose bolts, etc, so they can justify the cost.
@@mrcintheuk5596 Oh yes, I am sure it'll be a good bike although that will also depend on the price. Triumph's in general are not cheap but they are fantastic to ride! I've just given back their Street Triple RS. What a bike.
Might wait for the new one before purchasing , recently pass my a2 , can someone please help and show me how to set up blogging kit for helmet and where to buy it.
Wouldnt reccommend it as a2 tho. I mean yes, its the best value bike rn but as an A2 it struggles cuz it makes it's power in higher rpms and this option is restricted due to a2 compliant. If youre fine with that an are eager to wait 2 yrs to derestrict it then yes its worth it but if u wanna have fun with a2 i would advise u to buy something like a husgvarna svartpilen 401 for now. That is, if u have the money. Otherwise honda is a better investment over the yrs.
Honda Australia doesn't listen to their customers...we only get the learner legal model and have to use a fred in the shed to derestrict with ecu flashing... Ive tracked mine and tbh the forks are ok, just need to get the tyre pressure right...but then I like firm..
The bike its nice I have 2018 cb650f put some mod the bike scream but in my opinion 2019 up they are getting to expensive 10k for a 650cc kawasaki z900 has same price.....
@@Englishbikerdan in United states the cb650r its 9400$ before tax dealer fee and registration that's mean you need at on top 1500$ so you pass 10k I got the 2018 because was on sale at 5500$ other wise no way to expensive

Excellent video Dan, hoping you'd make videos more frequently even though if they're short videos like this.
Check back tomorrow. :D
Any idea when is the release date of this new model?, Planning to purchase this bike but in my Country still out of stock.
I'm getting a 2021 model as soon as dealerships in the US get them. Does anyone know when that will be?
Yes I do
Is the design of the bike itself any different from the 2019 model? I.e. fuel tank, seating
Love this bike, I have the denim colour. The grey looks soo nice!
I want the red front fender. I wonder if it would be a seamless swap.
Awesome news for me as it should lower the purchase price of the old stock when the revised model is released. Any idea on UK launch date?
Thinking of buying one
they dont have to do much just throw in a quickshifter/bliper and maybe some preload adjustment on the front fork and they will have a hot seller.
That would drive the price up however and people would complain.
Damn I just bought the 2020 model last week. ✊
Oh. Perhaps not as they’ve done very little. Great bike. Difficult to improve.
Me too!
I was going to get one soon too but now I'm just gonna wait I guess 😃
1 more in the boat
I did also! This is going to happen to everything we own and we will never be able to keep up with the latest.

The new one will have to.
So it’s a change to the handlebar angle to increase turn radius? Huh trying to wrap my head around that one
I'm guessing they've done more to increase steering head angle.
Is this updated version coming to the UK? Honda's website still isn't showing it and it's now mid January.
Yes it is, I've heard end of Jan or as late as March for release. I'm guessing current situation with Covid and Brexit has delayed the freight ships.
@@Englishbikerdan Thanks, I might well buy one when it finally gets here!
The 2020 model already had 41mm SFF forks. At least in the US...

I just bought a 2020. Only thing I don't like about it is the screen. Glad they haven't updated because then I'd want to buy another one lol.
they have updated the screen. They arranged the LEDs in another angle for better visibility and readjusted the font size.
I've never had a problem with the screen. I have the CBR650R which obviously has more shelter / shade due to the fairing for the instruments and also a smoked screen which keeps the dash in shade as well.
I assume these updates would be on the faired version as well 😉
Indeed they will, with some subtle differences. Check back tomorrow. :D
Can you tell me some of the main differences of the riding experience that you’ve noticed between the CB650R and the Trident? What do you like/dislike about each? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know I really debated between this bike and a street triple. I could only buy the CBR new and so it was obviously much cheaper to buy the street triple used and idk that I'd even consider the honda now.
now Triumph Tiident is on the way, makes decision even harder
Lcd upgrade and a USB port way hey
Itching to get this bike as my first, it's too expensive for me though. Maybe my second bike??
Yes, but not forgetting the new Triumph Trident coming as competition, so perhaps they've decided to up their game. 🤷. I'd still purchase the Honda!
Not a fan of the looks of the Trident personally. CB650R has better brakes and maybe now better suspension.
@@Englishbikerdan Absolutely, but sadly the competition will be the Triumph badge and Trident name. That's what many people buy these days. Also, friend has Triumph Bobber and just paid £230 for a basic oil and filter change but they did also check there were no loose bolts, etc, so they can justify the cost.
@@mrcintheuk5596 Oh yes, I am sure it'll be a good bike although that will also depend on the price. Triumph's in general are not cheap but they are fantastic to ride! I've just given back their Street Triple RS. What a bike.
Might wait for the new one before purchasing , recently pass my a2 , can someone please help and show me how to set up blogging kit for helmet and where to buy it.
Wouldnt reccommend it as a2 tho.
I mean yes, its the best value bike rn but as an A2 it struggles cuz it makes it's power in higher rpms and this option is restricted due to a2 compliant.
If youre fine with that an are eager to wait 2 yrs to derestrict it then yes its worth it but if u wanna have fun with a2 i would advise u to buy something like a husgvarna svartpilen 401 for now. That is, if u have the money.
Otherwise honda is a better investment over the yrs.
why they dont change the design a little bit, cb1000r does
The 1000 has been out longer. It doesn't make business sense to change the design of a bike that only came out in 2019.
yeah, It would be nice if they change the tail, its look rough for me
could you do the same for cbr650r 2021 preview?
That's the plan, probably later this week. 👍
@@Englishbikerdan thanks dan, keep up the good work, amazing vids
The exhaust sound its the same?
No quickshift? :(
Is the digital LCD display really that bad :o?
Bad enough that they've made some changes.
@@Englishbikerdan Did you adjust the LCD brightness? Cause it seems ok after adjusting to the brightest setting
Hi, Why is it taking a while to show your much anticipated review on the KTM 390 ADV ? :-)
Lots of reasons. None of them all that interesting. 😉
Honda Australia doesn't listen to their customers...we only get the learner legal model and have to use a fred in the shed to derestrict with ecu flashing...
Ive tracked mine and tbh the forks are ok, just need to get the tyre pressure right...but then I like firm..
The bike its nice I have 2018 cb650f put some mod the bike scream but in my opinion 2019 up they are getting to expensive 10k for a 650cc kawasaki z900 has same price.....
Where are you based? They are £7k here in the UK whereas the Z900 is over £9k.
@@Englishbikerdan in United states the cb650r its 9400$ before tax dealer fee and registration that's mean you need at on top 1500$ so you pass 10k I got the 2018 because was on sale at 5500$ other wise no way to expensive
@@themarvelousvintage76 Oof. That's expensive!
@@Englishbikerdan yes and they dont come with antiteft system like the European model......but strange things suzuki gsxs 750 and kawasaki z900 are about same price of cbr650r.......
How about the headlight?
No change from 2019.
@@Englishbikerdanouucchhh
Any update sir cb650r 2021???🙏🙏🙏
This is the updated model.
I mean actual or walk around mate...thankyou!!!✌✌🙏
@@charmingbeast9308 It's not out yet.
What about the CBR650R , I'm planning to buy this bike as my first superbike .
No news yet but I assume the same changes will happen.
good god, thank you Honda..my CBR650R feels like its bottoming out on everything i run over.
how do i recognize the differences in the new 2020 model?
2021 model will have the new changes.
@@Englishbikerdan sorry mate, what i meant was how to know whether is a 2021 model.
@@baksadai I think the easiest thing is the front coloured mudguard as the previous models had a black one.
The blinkers are awful compared to the full led option from Yamaha :(
Full LED lights all round as standard. Thank you Honda.
Is there a slipper clutch in 650r
Yes indeed.
So the fork difference is size?
They have bigger pistons. Leading to better handling.
A backlit dash beats an lcd dash with no backlight, just saying.
