- VIDEO DESCRIPTION
I Compare the Yamaha R7 with its main rivals, the Honda CBR 650R, the Kawasaki Ninja 650 and the Aprilia RS 660 . This is a full scale, detailed comparison of the R7 with it's competitors on Price, Looks, Exhaust sound (Stock and aftermarket), Performance, Comfort and Reliability to help potential buyers make an informed decision and choose the bike that fits their needs perfectly.
In my opinion, for street riding the CBR650R and the Ninja 650 are it's bigger competitors because of better streetability as opposed to the RS600 which is more of a track focused bike than the others.

Ever wondered how many CCs should you first motorcycle have? Watch: th-cam.com/video/S4hOzGn1neY/w-d-xo.html
I’m a proud owner of the CBR650R. And It’s my first bike.
Me to
Im about to buy one nothing comes close
I have 2021 black and I am in love with it 11000 km done in a year
Such a big boy
Same here love it
I'd go with the Honda, although the aprilia seems cool as well but meh Japanese reliability is important
"the Aprillia's reliability is the most unpredictable"
Very predictably the RS660 already has a recall on 700 units. lol
Haha! I was being nice. Lol!
A recall means they solve problem. New engine and new warranty. Where is the problem? Did you know how many recalls have bmw, ducati, ktm? Much more than Aprilia..
@@ciuffoarancione8929 the problem is that HAD A PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH. A recall is not a good thing. They should not HAVE to do that in the first place. The more reliable Japanese bikes hardly have to do recalls.
Agreed. I couldn't have said it better!
Buy an r7 then...mt07 frame, mt07 engine and a fairing...what a sportbike!!!! Or a fantastic honda of 210kg and 95hp. Have a 2002 rsv 1000 r and is bulletproof...also had a ninja 636 and had some issues (ecu)..japan bike are not all perfect as Aprilia bikes are not all unreliable..
What a nice and structured video. Thanks for the effort!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the appreciation. Cheers!
Honda CBR 650R is a great bike, 95HP, 4C engine, more than 12000 TRS/MN and very nice look and ALL AT THE BEST PRICE 9000€...it is a real pleasure to ride this bike... for more sport and more agressive look i will buy YAMAHA R6 only !
Inline 4 symphony is best in cbr ask any expert
I love the simplicity and amazing r7 as an owner my 3rd bike had 08 r6, and 14 r6 the 22 r7 just fun not insane . Enjoy the ride or race on a track.
Honda all the way
Not gonna lie, i have been a Honda fan, specifically loved the CBR650 since that was my first inline 4
Yeah, I was considering the R7, or the Aprillia as a Second bike, but I think I might get the CBR 650.
@@chalkdemon8019 can't comment on the rest cause I've never ridden them but I can tell you that I haven't had a buyer's remorse for the CBR650R so far.
Out of these the CBR is my favorite, but tbh I picked the naked version for myself, that being said I do believe it is an excellent beginners bike, 4-cylinders are so smooth and linear at low rpm so it’s really easy to control, and the fact that it has traction control, slipper clutch and ABS makes it perfect for starters, I wouldn’t recommend anyone without experience to drive without this aids
Fair point, I’ve ridden and loved it’s previous gen and the new has everything I wished the previous one did… so it’s definitely a great job by Honda. I’m surprised it’s not as popular in the US as it is in other parts of the world.
Love the looks of the new r7
I agree with a lot of what you say in this video. My opinion on looks is as you, the Aprilia and for me the black and red one. I wish the R7 would look more like the R1 in color with the grey color on some of the trim. If Honda would give the CBR650R the same color scheme as the Fireblade. Would also like to see the Yamaha come out with an R9 triple. As for me I am still interested in getting my hands on that R7.
Awesome man! I can totally see why the R7 is popular. I have some buddies who professionally race the R6 and even they are excited about the R7. Best part is, it's pretty nicely priced. Go for it and post up videos when you get one..
Look at the now 60th anniversary edition they now offer for R7. So cool
Wish Yamaha would produce a turbo r7 in the white black red livery. And a Radd front end, lighter faster stronger
I am old school , give me 2 wheels , engine , clutch and throttle and I am happy , no need for assist modes and stuff , that's what your right hand is for . IMO of course :)
I love that approach... in my 14 yrs of riding, the 2019 ZX6R i ride now is actually the first bike that has any rider aids... I don't feel like I need any of them except the quickshifter which is helpful since i only ride it track now. But for streets, barring ABS, I don't think one needs any of the other aids as long as they know what they're doing.
Live the video thank youuuu
I’m glad you liked it! Thanks!
I had an 2004 sv650 as fist bike for 1 year , put only 5000 km on it . Now i consider to buy that cb or cbr 650 , is just pure first sight love. I like the RS660 too due the hi electronics and mobile connectivity, but people say they are not reliable...
The new CB650R is very cool. I’ve had that engine in the CBR650F and loved riding it for over 2 yrs. I’ve also ridden the RS660 for a day around town in San Diego.. it’s a cool bike cost of maintenance is gonna be high plus, not as comfortable as the Honda.
Same vote for looks
I go for honda cb650f or cb650f.
Honda cb650f is my first big bike and proud owner too! I love Honda cb's motorcycles.
I bought a R7 and is the best bike you could buy i realy love it
Nice 👍
sweet vid!
Thanks!
Great format! Let’s see some more. Middle weight naked, adventure, etc.
Thanks! I did do a sports touring middleweight comparison that posted yesterday. Planning on an adventure one for next week.
All cool bikes imo though the rs660 and the cbr650r are actually in a class of their own right now, quite cool. 100hp "sports bikes" designed for the road. Also people seem to talk bout these bikes as beginner bikes I wouldnt recommend someone with no previous experience to get one of these machines lol 100hp is quite a lot on a bike.
Agreed. I prefer a gradual progression from a 150/300 over to middleweight bikes eventually...
This video is accurate and informative in every aspect, even the personal preferences like the looks and sounds are the same as me.
The valves of my Apilia just got blown away. Not to mention there are more minor issues I have experienced. I have replaced 3 ABS sensors, starter relay and etc.
and I am thinking about selling it after it got fixed by the official Aprilia store here in Taiwan. The bike is unreliable, and the Aprilia mechanics here are untrustworthy, I have seen their work. Even fork oil change I had to spend a day watching them installing the forks back to the right place so the bike doesn’t run unbalanced.
Thanks for the appreciation. And I'm sorry about your Aprilia situation. My friends who own Aprilias in India & US have similar feedback. They love the bikes as long as they run, but they're always worried about how long will it work before it breaks down.. That's the reason I didn't buy one here in the US, even though i absolutely love the RS660
@@RiderXp I like your video and its well made.
Regarding to the bike, one of the biggest reasons is that it’s hard to find decent mechanics here in Taiwan. They can even change the wrong amount of engine oil, not just Aprillia store.
That’s why I started to maintain and repair the bike myself. But matter of fact I just want to ride it.
And I will definitely not buy a RS660 although it does seem somewhat attractive to me.
I rode a CBR300R in California for 2 years before last year.
Now I move back to Taiwan.
@@timmychen6 Yeah i only started maintaining my bike myself when i came to US coz labor is so expensive here. When I was in India, it was cheap and I had a Honda so super reliable... still love my CBR250 & 650 i had there
@@RiderXp labor isn’t cheaper here in Taiwan. And bikes here are like around 2 times more expensive than in the US on average.
For example, RS660 is around 18,500 USD here in Taiwan. R7 is around 15,000 USD here. They are a bit less than 2x price in the US.
Bikes like Panigale are like 65,000 USD here. Which is more than 2 times.
Labor cost isn’t really what I concern.
Problems cause by those labors are!!!
I love my cbr 650r and this bike is a weapon After Woolich racing ecu 🏍🏍😀
5:05 "not allow on any street or highway"
laughing in Germany on the highway where there is no limit xD
Haha! Good one!
I'm 53 and looking to get a new bike to take me to the end, the Honda seems my best bet. Currently riding a vfr800
Awesome! Honda is a great choice 👍
I'm 55 and just bought the CBR in May. I've owned many bikes and I believe I will keep this for the duration.
I'm 50 looking for the same
I'm 53 and just swapped my gsxr 1000 for the Honda
Get the ninja, very comfortable can ride for hours, fast enough to give you thrill, but not kill you if you make a mistake.
In New Zealand, the new 2021 CBR650R is $14,995 (down-tuned for learners), 2021 R7 is $13,499 (down-tuned for learners) or $14,499 (full power), only $500 differences compared to CBR650R and it is full power, but my mate, he's an experienced biker told me that I should go for the CBR650R because the R7 parallel twin engine will not compete with the inline 4 cylinders engine. For the only CBR650R we have here, I can remove the restriction for the full power for around $800. BTW, he owns 2017 CBR650F, he loves it. I would like to hear your opinion on which one I should get. Thanks.
I had the 2015 CBR650F and I rode it for 2 years in India. Back then I used to enjoy touring and I rode it 1600 kms. (1,000 miles) in a day and a half. Overall I rode it over 20,000 kms before I moved to US. I can definitely say that the CBR650F or the R are great bikes for intermediate riders (I had 7 years of riding experience before i got the 650, i had been riding a 150 and a 250 before it) But if you get a de-tuned option in NZ, that's great, you should definitely go for it because there's nothing like an inline 4. The smoothness, Honda reliability, the exhaust note (aftermarket) make it a great package. So go for it mate! You won't regret it 👍
@@RiderXp Thanks for the advices, I think I will go for the CBR650R, I’m not going change the bike frequently, just want to get one and keep it for a while. 😁
@@random.vlogator Awesome! You could motovlog and post up videos... NZ is a gorgeous country!
R7 cost $29,000 dollar in my country cause of tax 255%
If you’re looking to do some higher speed pulls the CBR650R will definitely be more fun. New Zealand has some awesome mountain roads I bet
Overall I would love to go with R7. Price, looks, maintenance and reliability of Yamaha engine is always best. Yes she is underpowerd and not having too much electronics but if you really want everything from bike then I think middleweight is not a good segment. Because middleweight bikes are link between beginners bikes and liter class bikes so missing few electronics is not a big deal.
The only disappointment I have from Yamaha is there is no more than 250 cc bikes are available in Indian market currently. And they don't have any plans to launch those bike in this year.
Is the R3 not available in India anymore? I can't remember if Yamaha even had a 250cc bike when I was in India..
@@RiderXp yes r3 is discontinued because of BS6 emissions norms. And Yamaha has FZ25 as 250 cc bike in India. That's the only higher displacement bike they have right now. It sucks.
@@hiteshgujarathi4636 That's unfortunate!
@@RiderXp yamaha is considering to bring R7 and MT07 in small batches through CBU at the end of this year. That will make them even more expensive than Honda 650s. Hope that yamaha will price them sensible but it's highly unlikely.
That’s good news, i did read that on some Indian news outlet’s website. It would be a good competition for the cbr650r because it does have more power but lacks the agility that R7 has. It’ll be an interesting face off!
Nice 3D effects in this video.
The Honda sounds a billion times better than the rest.
Damn right and looks the best
It's not always about sound
You just can't compare a 4 cyl with the rest, that's why
@@MNIKHAn7 faster bike of them all
What? Everyone knows aprilia is the best sounding. Honda sounds like a hamster being pushed to the limit
I love RS660, however I Judy afraid about its reliability (many people have to change entire engine on first service). So because of this im waiting to try R7 (when It launches in my country).
Yeah that's the unfortunate part of Aprilia & Ducati... I'm doing a video specifically about the RS660 this week. stay tuned.
My thoughts
Best looking: R7
Best perfomance :CBR
Most rider aids: Aprilia
Best value : kawasaki
Ok so 4 of my friends have Aprilias and love them but don't use them as a daily commute they come with more bling as standard but after riding them 2 RSV'S and 2 Tourno's i dont like them very hard feel uncomfortable way to much torque and vibrate like shit..
I own a R6 2019 and love it.
But as a bike for a newbie stepping up from a R3 or a Ninja 400 I'd so NOOOOOO
Its a pure race bike period and as, a commute its terrible....
So i believe the R7 will tick the most boxes for price and usability the biggest disappointment is the HP if it was say 90 hp it be the perfect bike & TC would of been nice also.
But beauty is in the eye 👁 of the beholder
Great points! I doubt the R7 could match the CBR in terms of comfort either. So if I was looking for a fully faired commuter, the CBR is an easy choice - more power, linear and predictable power delivery (I've ridden that engine and loved it for years) and pretty comfortable as well (not as much as the Ninja though)
@@RiderXp the only issue with the CBR is the seat it's way to hard and flat its like a brick 😂 but for Asia market the R7 IS THE GO
Yeah! That's an easy fix though. The R7 is going to be a big hit in the south-east asia region for sure. Not sure why Yamaha hasn't launched it in India though.
CBR650R best if you compare all side, like cost, fuel economy, cc segment etc
i hope a gsxr 650 and a daytona 660r is on the making to compete with these great bikes
well triumph already has a triple engine they've used on the streeple and the Trident, something like this is very possible, even rumoured. Not sure about Suzuki though
Well damn, you made the kawi seem like gum under your shoe😔, trust me a ninja 650 in the right hands, can easily take some of those bikes, with ease. And the insurance is way cheaper, i pull up on people all day talking sith, but they can only go fast in straight lines😂 and pop wheelies. It funny when the gum under the shoe kawi will leave a loud ass 600cc on a curve, and i can hear them trying to save face while they wait for the next straight away
Last night I rode a Honda Grom to Daytona bike week and back so I don’t believe any bike is a bad bike. At the end of the day, it’s the rider. Having said that, i’m increasingly realizing that on American highways, not having power on tap is pretty intimidating and ability to quickly accelerate away from a car being stupid is indeed quite a God sent advantage (As I realized when I test rode an XSR700 as well yesterday). The Ninja 650, in India for example, for the average speeds, traffic and roads, would absolutely not be a beginner bike and be plenty fast for anyone. So my apologies if that’s how I cam across in this video. In subsequent videos I did attempt to bring in a global context at least from the countries that I have ridden in myself.
@@RiderXp its all good, i was just being sarcastic, i love my 650, my 1st bike, 0 experience 5200 miles in one season, in all honesty, there really isn't anyplace to ride fast without getting caught up.
Be safe out there....
Bro them exhaust comparison had me in stitches 🤣why on earth did you do the aprilla like that n the rest just revs
I liked the sound quality of that one over whatever soundbytes were available for others.
@@RiderXp flopped on that bit otherwise good job
@@zc31s56 Thanks! Appreciate the feedback.. pushes me to do better with each video. :)
@@RiderXp good lad
You noticed that too huh. Couple little revs on each bike, then the Aprilia gets to basically go through its gear box up and down. Of course it sounded better actually riding it. Lol
Although it was cool to see a comparison between these bikes, instead of the Ninja 650, we should have seen a comparison with the 636 or zx6r
Thanks! I have a dedicated video comparing the ZX6R with the R7. You can watch it on my channel.
Since "Looks" and "sounds" are totally subjective, those qualities should not even be compared. CBR is the clear winner here.
That's an interesting point of view. I feel like I would have the liberty to share my point of view on those parameters as a rider myself and invite other riders' perspective on them. At the end of the day, different parameters have different importance to different people.
Indeed and cbr looks really dope in real life, pictures doesn't justify it's beauty!
Cbr650r is definitely the best real world bike
@@RiderXp you can share your point but I dont include those points into the total score as I had the opposite opinion as you for both sound and looks.
I think the whole point of watching 100 videos that compares / reviews bikes is that people have different opinions. Taking the subjective out of it would make these videos boring IMO.
The sound of aprilia 😮😮😮😮
Best sound and reliability CBR 4 inline,
Best look and ergonomic R7 and aprilia
Best budget Kawa
paling keren yamaha R7
CBR- sound but expensive and heavy, Aprillia - techs and lightweight, R7 looks but underpowered, Kawasaki 650 budget bike with style. If I were to choose I’d pick the black and orange Aprillia even though it’s not as reliable as the Japanese bikes. I’d take the risk ! 😁
Dude i am tempted as well.. though i feel like i can also play the waiting game and see the whole recall situation play out.
Hay bro it's me . Jr

The Hondas weight doesn’t really effect it compared to the R7 in terms of acceleration. The same to 60 mph, Honda starts pulling away and by 100 it’s 3 seconds ahead, to 130 mph the Honda is way ahead and still pulling in typical inline 4 fashion…
As a 1.96m person, who really wants a sport bike but is really worried about being uncomfortable, I'm just wishing the Kawasaki works for me. Tbh, if the height wasn't a problem, I think I would still go for the Ninja. So I really hope I am comfortable on it.
Ninja is a great bike that has struck a pretty good balance between comfort and sporty looks. The previous generation wasn’t as sporty but the ones since 2018 keep getting better and better. Good luck with your new bike! Thanks for watching!
How are you getting on with the ninja ?
I just went to my local dealer and they have the new 2023 model in which has abs, slipper clutch and traction control has also been added to this year's new model.
Think I'm going to buy it, not keen on green but it looks great in grey and black
Comparação sem nexo! Honda 4 cilindros e as outras 2? Porque não botou a R6 aí? Pra bater todas!
Personal opinion- I would flip the Honda and Kawasaki ratings in the look category.
Looks are subjective I guess... I can't deny that I may have a personal bias for the Honda coz I wanted a bunch of things changed on the CBR650F that Honda finally changed... now I'm a Kawi boy though
@@RiderXp Perfectly fair. And as stated, personable opinion. The R7 definitely has a look, same with the Aprilia. The Honda and Kawasaki? For sheer looks, in my opinion, you almost have to go with the full-fledged CBR600RR and ZX-6R.
Cbr650 all the way comfy sound the best and can take it to odd track day
exactly! plus it’s a great city bike
Best style Kawasaki.
R7 & RS660 are the top for me with R7 #1 due to reliability & service shops near. These bikes have low weight and best for the mountains and track. RS has the better frame & riders triangle of the two
I like 💯💯💯 percent R7 Yamaha king means 😈😈😈 devil's best style race
Honda cbr 650r is the best bike
Definitely the most reliable, I've ridden it's previous version, the CBR 650F for over 20,000 kms and loved every bit of it
@@RiderXp upar se hum india main rehte hai jaha petrol ke daam bade jaa rahe hai uss hisaab se 4 cylinder bike cbr 650r is the best bike
Well the CBR650F used to do about 20 KMPL, so mileage isn't the best if you compare with smaller bikes.
Nice vid..such a full of learnings and pure details in one vid. thats insane bro😍 all my questions about all these beautiful machine will be solve,. just because of you sir..btw cbr650 is my dream bike, favourite bike and it is my inspiration to success for my life huehue but aprilia is good but yeah it's too expensive haha
Thanks man! It's your appreciation that makes all my effort in research and video making worth it. And yes, so far, my all time favorite bike is the CBR650, I had the F version back in India, I love the CBR650R too. And as for Aprilia, you're not missing anything. I'm doing some reseach for an Aprilia RS660 video right now, you should watch it in a few days.
@@RiderXp I would love for you to add in 0-60 in performance section of this review, otherwise great review.
@@geewoods6590 Good observation, will try and include in future review. Thanks a ton 👍
Here the cbr and r7 are only $100 apart ,cbr @$10,899 and r7 @ $10,799 (Canadian) Cbr quick shifter is only an extra $300 CDN here too not $500+ USD shown in this video, also wet weight is 208kg not 211kg.
Can’t remember ninja exact price but fair bit lower, and rs660 is $13699 which is kind of insane as you can get a zx6r for same price or bit lower even.
Rs660 nicest bike out of the 4 for sure but pay the premium for it. That being said I just can’t get behind the reliability issues aprilia has and lack of dealer network etc and really wish it was an i4, buddy of mine has a cbr650r 22’ and damn the things looks nice with few basic mods. Can’t get over how nice it sounds with a yoshimura underbelly shorty, deep growl but screams at high rpm w/ tons of crackles and pops. shaved like 15lbs vs stock, weighed both of them.
R7 is light and has a shorter wheelbase etc so can be a wheelie monster which makes sense as it’s really a mt07 with fairings. Just doesn’t have the top end though, nice low down torque and flickability .
Ninja is last overall in performance but it is substantially cheaper and still nice bike. Can feel the lack of power vs other 3 , esp the cbr and rs660, still does pretty good tho.
I’ve watched track videos of the 4 and rs660 is top overall which isn’t surprising , surprisingly the cbr was outpacing the r7 just barely despite being less nimble but held its own in the corners but gained the time on the straights and top end, holds gears better . Ninja was fair bit slower than the 3 as well, def the least sporty bike but most comfortable ergonomics
Depending on the need and application, each bike has it's own place. I've owned and ridden the CBR and loved it for sports touring on Indian highways. In the US, I found it a bit underwhelming. Also got the opportunity to test ride the Aprilia recently and loved it a lot more than the CBR. Only apprehension with the RS660 is the reliability which hasn't changed significantly from what here in the racing community and my local race tracks. R7 may be a middle of the road compromise, i.e. reliable and still a lot of fun. Ninja 650 is good for relaxed long distances or even commuting but I could never find that parallel twin engine exciting enough.
R7 is far better than everything out there, i am gonna get one soon
Awesome! Good luck bud!
Only yamaha my fvrt yes yamaha
He test the sound of apriliia with riding.
Honda for inline four, reliability , looks.
Awesome choice! I have been a fan of the Honda reliability and smoothness for several years. The CBR650F was my first inline 4 ever! we had good times together.
Aftermarket exhaust on the ninja makes it sound worse sounds like a dirt bike not very road bikey sound
Rs 660 is on another planet...the others are cheap bike (r7 is an mt07 with fairings and a better fork... Honda is an over 200 kg bike 4 cylinder and only 95hp)...Aprilia is a real bike..you get what you pay...
Agreed! I just hope they paid attention to reliability as well, after all, what good is a great bike if one is always worried about break downs.
@@RiderXp rs 660 may have problems in the first year more than other bike because has more technology and it s a new project..a 2 cylinder 660 of 100hp is a record...it weight 182 kg wet and has fairings, a real frame (not 2 pipes), ecc...honda is much more reliable but weight much more and a 650cc 4cyl of 95cv is nothing special. Probably in 2022/23 rs 660 will be much more reliable. Even the new yamaha r1 some years ago had problems..never buy a car/bike in the first year. Almost all brands use people to test their products...
@@ciuffoarancione8929 That's kind of what I'm also thinking. I've been waiting for it since 2018. I guess I'll have to wait for a couple more years for them to sort out the issue. I understand the logic you're pointing out and i had the same thought. But i really really wanted one so I'm obviously upset as a potential customer.
Kawasaki for me. I’d like the Aprilla but service is a big issue.
Yamaha R7, but the exhaust system not cool.
well an aftermarket exhaust can change that which is anyway the most popular upgrade... the CP2 Engine has a pretty cool characteristic
Cbr650r for me
For the street, that's the best choice 👍
Cbr is the best of all ❤❤
Where's mv agusta 675?
What's the difference between the Honda CBR 600 and 650? apart from the obvious displacement difference
CBR650R is a sports tourer, makes less power, is designed & works much better for street riding. CBR600RR is a supersport bike which is designed for super sport class racing, makes more power and is meant for the track. You can of course use either bike for either purpose but the experience will be sub-optimal because they’ve been designed differently. Not just Honda, there are several other brands that have similar examples like the Kawasaki Ninja 650 & the Ninja ZX6R compare similarly.
@@RiderXp Thanks for the insight. Is there something inherently wrong with the cbr600? I don't see a lot of people choosing it. I'm debating between that and an R7. I see more people choose the R7.
@@halcyon1017 The CBR600RR available in the US is the previous gen which hasn’t been updated in several years. The updated cbr600rr isn’t available in US yet, in Australia and a handful of counties, it’s available & technology at par with its competitors but is highly priced. So at least in the US it is easy to chose the R7 which is fun to ride, at par with its competitors & can also be raced in twins cup. While the cbr600rr would fall in the supersport class and would be very expensive to make competitive in its class. For the street, cbr600rr would be faster but certainly an overkill in terms of price & performance compared to the R7. The cbr600rr & R7 are completely different bikes in every aspect but i’ve made an attempt. Hope it helps.
Edit: Consider watching this video i made comparing the cbr600rr with its competitors. th-cam.com/video/NBRz-AbhB2M/w-d-xo.html
@@RiderXp thanks again. But you mentioned that in the US the new gen was not out (for the CBR). But the other day I saw a 2022 cbr600rr in the showroom. So I guess the US has it now. For me, I like that the CBR is a little more comfortable than the R7 as I plan on going for long drives on it, not so much on the track. Also, I heard the CBR has better low and mid range output. I do like the R7 as well though. It's not as agressive as the R6
@@halcyon1017 I’ve heard that from someone else too that the new gen has been seen at dealerships m. I checked the Honda Powersports website & couldn’t find it. Either way, it’s a great bike! I love Honda, It was my first choice when i was shopping for a supersport back in 2019 but finally ended up with the zx6r for some reason. Good luck with the cbr, you’ll love the power delivery.
I`ll take the Aprilia ANYTIME!!
Second choice R7..
CBR650R all day for me......
Has been my favorite road bike!
650r
the kawasaki is actualy ranked under sports tourer
That's a fair point. I do find people curious about the 4 bikes since they are in a similar space in a lot of ways.
Hondas Smart by sticking with the 4 Cylinder …….
Agreed. That's been one of my favorite bikes for that reason and general Honda reliability & low cost of maintenance and service.
R7
Good choice... Do post up videos when you get one. It'll be interesting to see an owner's perspective.
Honda all the way top quality bike looks power 4 inline is honda s trademark 1 of the best engine ever made 👌🤘
I've had the pleasure of riding that engine in my CBR 650F & I concur 👍
Only thing I don’t like in R7 is the sound
The sound comparison just unfair, each bike 1-3 second throttle 1st gear, aprillia 1st to 6th gear full throttle lol.
I love that exhaust note lol
The aprillia is 3500 pounds more expensive here in the UK than the r7 which is £8000 personally i don't think the aprillia is worth the price, you could go one could spend the extra 3 grand on an aftermarket exhaust, sprockets etc
The Aprilia can be had for £10150.00 list, I bought mine for £10000, ride one and you are likely to love it. Brilliant bike for UK roads,
"its not legal to drive this fast on any Road or Highway" me Sitting in Germany.... mhm.. but i Could xD
Haha! I love that from folks who live in Germany... Someday I'm gonna do that Autobahn run and post a video lo. Take care, hope you liked the video.
4:25 except Germany
Haha! yeah, I get that comment quite a lot. I don't know if Germans are watching my videos. :)
なんでrsだけ走ってる音で比較？
全部同じ条件で比較してほしい
I honestly feel that Yamaha really dropped the Ball with the R7. They should have De-Stroked the Inline 3 from the MT-09 and went into direct competition with the Daytona. A Parallel Twin has no Business in an "R" Bike.. The R7 is a Disgrace..
Honda did trademark the R9 name, fingers crossed we get one. I prefer a faired bike as the majority of my commutes are highway/interstate with some secondary roads. The CP3 is awesome, would love to see a fair version…
@@sleeper.simulant7327 I'm even more disappointed in Honda right now after what They did to the CB-750. The first Production Bike in History to have a Transverse 4, and They put a Twin in it...
@@jerodrobinson4040 I meant Yamaha* trademarked the R9 name, which means a sport bike with the CP3 may be in the near future. In order to comply with strict emissions regulations, inline 4’s are going to become the way of the dodo unfortunately
Honda sounds way better
Sound: r7 is more bassy for 2cylinder
Agreed! The CP2 Engine has an uneven firing order that makes it sound so cool!
@@RiderXp yeah. Better than a DUCATI sound in my opinion😅
I agree, I don't like the Ducati twin sound either.
@@RiderXp ducati overpriced !🤷🏻♂️
and unreliable! lol
Thw exhaust sounds u did were not all equal you did a rolling acceleration for the aprilla because you obvs prefer that and wanted it to shine however you cant beat an inline 4
I'm actually not a fan of the Aprilia because of lack of reliability. Sound clips are the best ones I could find at the time. Thanks for assuming that I'm biased.
5:03 not legal... me living in Germany 👀👀
😀
5:03 Germany, Germany
😀👍
rs660 wins
For the most part
Cbr650r
Good choice, especially for streets
YAMAHA.
I’m aus the cbr650r is around 11 grand which is like 6 grand usd and the Aprilla is around 17 grand which id fucking ridiculous and a waste of money can get a s1000rr cheaper here
For some reason Honda pricing is pretty competitive in Aus & UK. In the US, it’s fairly priced imo. But in India they’re bonkers, 2022 CBR650R is 12.5k USD!!! that’s very close to some litre bikes pricing over there. Aprilia is on a different planet with their 660 pricing pretty much everywhere in the world. I rode one in Us last summer, it’s fun but not worth that price tag.
Is it just me, or is the cheapest Kawasaki even the best looking one of them?
Looks are subjective. So if you find it the best looking, that's the best of both worlds... cheap and best! 👍
Just you
Kawasaki I think looks better than the CBR because of the rear. In order to make the CBR look better you have to spend more money on a rear seat cowl. And the Kawi is cheaper and more comfortable than the rest. You'll get more miles on it than the other 3
Is r7 track bike like r6?? Or a sports tourer
neither, it’s an upgrade over the R3 imo
Ninja 650 budget friendliest, but I hate those skinny 160 rear tires on a sports bike.
CBR 650R, Heaviest bike, if you really want a cruiser, just buy a CBR650R.
Aprilia RS660, Tech savvy, best power, & sexy. But, most expensive OTD & maintenance.
R7, Arguably the best looking bike along w/RS660, most torque @ lowest rpm's=most fun, but the only one in this group that has super sport seating position so not comfort friendly.
That's a great summary!
But the CBR is an inline 4
Yes, but the riding characteristics and power delivery are quite aligned with the 650 class. I’ve owned and ridden it for years.
i get why you only got 500 subscriber.
Because I'm still learning how youtube works! :)
I'm subscribing after seeing your comment
@@s.k.lalmuanavaiphei1930 Thank you. means a lot :)
O.o lolz
honda ....
166 mph Yamaha
Interesting... Link to article/video?
Nope
R7 is so disappointing
depends on what one's expecting from it.
lol aprilia best sounding ? what abour the honda ? are you deaf ?
I’ve had the cbr & the stock exhaust note sounds like a honda commuter car. It only gets bad ass once you throw a aftermarket exhaust. This was a stock comparison and stock, the Aprilia sounds better
