- The latest vid from thelofty biker.......A first impressions review of the 2021+ Honda CBR650R Sport, regesterd in February 2023.......A modern development of the CBF600 not quite as focused as the CBR600RR but racier than a Sports Tourer....This 90bhp 4 cylinder rocket is a delight to ride.........A big thank you to Damerells of Indian Queens, Cornwall.

Great review. Loved watching you ride through the English countryside… my grandad and much of my family live in England, it’s where I come from. I miss them so much. Love from across the pond
You are welcome John thanks for watching
This is the best review of this bike I've seen 👍
Wow, thanks!
I have this bike with the quickshifter. It up shifts only (1st gen). No blipper. It has ABS, traction control and a slipper clutch. That's it for 'tech'. This bike is super reliable and engine as solid as a tank. Loves being thrashed. I changed out the factory springs front and back. Replaced with a Hyperpro set (about £300) and got a significant handling improvement. Only other change was dumping the factory rubber and put on some S22's - also big improvement. Never understand these people whose first 'go to' mod is big money on end cans and are ignorant to springs and rubber for improving performance and handling.
I'm with you on that one...thanks for watching
many people getting this bikes for the sound. if you have the $ you change that exhausts system form the showroom
Greetings from the states. Fantastic review. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
thanks for watching....glad you enjoyed it
Nice one mate👍
Thank you ....glad you enjoyed it
How's the ride and position for long rides maybe 30 minute ride does it get tiring ? I have a z400 naked and I thinking of upgrading to cbr 650. I ride mostly highway some local for work. Any thoughts? Thanks and great review
Hard to say, I'm 6'5'' tall, it wouldnt be my pick....5'3'' to 5'8'' it would be ace....thanks for watching...Try the Kwack 650RS it's a cracking naked...thanks for watching
I've owned the cb650r for 6 months and thinking I'll trade in for the cbr650r.. May sound mad but wish I'd have gone for the sporty look.. Looks ace
That's an answer I can't give you...go with you heart
Cabled throttle that's why QS Up only. That only requires spark interruption. You need ride by wire to do QS Down to rev match and for any riding modes (throttle maps)
well spotted Jeff...that was 8 months ago...I realized quite quickly, not everything gets on the vid....It's a good bike, if a little old school...thanks for watching
Putting a custom pipe, such as the Akrapović, makes this bike sound phenominal.
To right.......
Hello from Brazil! Very nice review! I got the 2021 model which is the same as 2019 the EUA market. I bought the OEM seat cowl for the Grand Prix red color code R380, but the color seems to be a little darker compared with the rest of the bike. Do you know if this is normal? Thank you!!
Sincw 2021 this bike has been built in Red with ancillaries slightlyn different... I could not tell what the paint code is! You would need to contact your importer
@@theloftybiker3090 Thank you for the information! Yes, you can tell that is the same color, but maybe they applyed more coattings. It looks very Nice so it doesnt bother 😂 have a great evenning!
@@chammasnick Thank for watching
Doesnt the 2023 model have red rear spring instead of yellow?
I have asked the dealer...He said cbr650r was released in 2019 and the current model updated in 2021, with mild cosmetic updated since. The model I rode is like you have said a 2022 version regestered in Feb 2023...Sorry for the confusion....The cbr650 does indeed have a quick shifter but no blipper...If you own a CBR650R it's a great bike. Thanks for watching.
It does and a black front fender. A few “color changes” in fairing as well. Good looking bike!
I have this motorbike and i think it's a cracking machine for the price. Just to let you know the quick shifter is up only. Great video 👍
Thank you
Guess it’s safe to say from comments there is no blipper , it was breaking me to see you try 😂
Got to try.......Seriousley, I have rode over 150 bikes in the last couple of years and the CBR650R is the first bike with a QS that hasn't had a blipper. Thanks for watching
This is not the 2023 colour scheme (I own the 2023). It’s the 2022 😉
Not sure Gert , it's what I was told. It is a Feb 2023 bike brand new from Honda UK ....Thanks for watching.......www.honda.co.uk/motorcycles/range/super-sport/cbr650r/overview.html
I noticed the yellow rear spring , thats not on 2023 model.
Its definitely a 2022 model, they blacked out the motor on the 23
@@deant6627 Thanks for watching Dean

There are no blipper😅
It's not ride by wire.
So many rewiers putting out content not having a qlue about the bikes they are on.
Guess I have to look elsewhere for a contentcreator who cares of what content he put out.
How long would it take to read the spec of the bikes you ride, and give it a little thought.
It would make your content so much better than the 90% of the content on TH-cam. Now you are just a nother rider with a camera rambling.
I like your style of video. Your video and audio are fine. Your editing are god. I just wished you cared.
(just my opinion, but I don't think I am alone)
Thanks for watching, so sorry to have dissapointed you! I do prefer to ride the bikes and experience them.............
@@theloftybiker3090 I can understand that. Its just that when you and other contentcreators use the word review, you are setting your self up for a certain expectation of your video. I actually expect a review of the bike. If you used the title " my first Impression/experience with the ...." I would have no issues with your lack of knowlegde of the bike. Sorry for beeing a bit harsh. I am trying to be constructive in my critique.
The bike I rode did indeed have a Quick shifter!
@@theloftybiker3090 I have never denied that. But it is only upshift. To get downshifts(blipper), you need ride by wire.
Is it powerful enough to not get bored with?
That would depend on where you are coming from? For every day riding on UK roads with ever decreasing speed limits and camera vans, I would say it's plenty.....thanks for watching
It’s not a “super sport” but it’s the fastest in its class. You can find a few videos where it’s top speed is 160 mph and a bunch at 155 mph (I’m in the USA). I got one a couple of weeks ago and it’s got all I’ll ever need.
That’s a 2022 model btw 2023 model has red back shock spring and blacked out engine covers
Thanks for watching......
So you were just slamming down gears no clutch? Bit worrying, nice bike though
If you time the revs you dont need a clutch.....It is an Honda after all, not a BMW....great bike it's even got a E-clutch for 2024
@@theloftybiker3090 that's ok then, just had me cringing a bit for a while. Yep gonna have to try the e-clutch when it's available, sounds like a great option.
So basically the OEM quickshifter is not worth the money :D
because the bike is cable and not fly by wire the quick shifter is up shift only...there is no autoblip! It is basically older tech and with the new Hornet available I can see the CBR650r being dropped sooner or later...thanks for watching
You could install on that bike the cbr500r clip ons and make it even more comfortable
thanks for watching
No way was he forcing the gearbox to downshift clutchless 😮 it only quickshifts up lmao, demolished that motorcycle for the next person…
It's an Honda......Gearboxes built to last...thanks for watching
That’s a 2022.
Thanks for watching...hope you enjoyed it
@@theloftybiker3090 Absolutely enjoyed it.
