I love my CB650r! I bought it for my first "real" bike and I've never looked back. It's got plenty of power to have fun with and incredible manners around town or in traffic. I was VERY lucky because my local dealership was offering a sale on model year close out so I was able to get mine with no ABS and $1500 off! Great video and keep up the good work.

I bought the CB650R 5 months again as my first bike and it has been nothing but amazing for me. At all speeds it has way more power than needed and is forgiving all through the gears and speeds. It has given me so much confidence as a new rider and I wouldn’t change to anything else as it suits me perfect, Other than a CB1000r at some point 😁

I love my 2023 CB650R, it has the looks, build quality, and fun factor. Plus, I’m just a Honda guy at heart.

As a new rider I really appreciate how you broke down everything into digestible pieces. CB650R is at the top of my list!

[dinohuntr]

I've owned a GSXR 600 and a Yamaha R6. This is my fifth motorcycle and I'm in my 50s. It is plenty of motorcycle and keeps me from being stupid and getting into trouble. I was willing to pay the extra price because I love how it looks. I've even enhanced the café racer style with clip on bars and bar end mirrors. I get compliments wherever I go!

[jrtserrano]

It's an excellent road bike. Fun and premium to ride. It has more than enough power for street and highway riding.

I watch a lot of these cycle vids / reviews. This was extremely informative and balanced. Well-done.

One of the most underrated in the 650 class <3

In India, cb650r is priced 2000 dollars higher than trident 660

Nice review and I think your conclusion is pretty spot on. I’d still take the CB650R over the trident (and I did). There’s something to be said for Honda reliability over the trident. Triumph is not known for reliability. The triumph does have some good electronics which I wish they would put in the Honda but at the end of the day, when you are on a winding canyon road, I would want to be revving the CB650R to red line and it would be so much more fun than the MT07 with its “all bark no bite” power band. I haven’t ridden the Trident but just based on the Dyno graph I can guess how it would feel to ride, punchy but less rush at the top. I mean the trident and Honda make the same torque you just have to rev the Honda more which is fun and exciting. I love my CB650R and I think it’s a real shame that it hasn’t sold better. It’s the best bike in its category but everyone buys the MT07 because of the sound and torque. It’s fine if you just ride around town but get that CP2 on a windy road and you’ll quickly realise it runs out of breath really quickly.

Appreciate the honest review, with comparisons to other bikes.

[wildprongs]

You ranked the bike low when initially you didn’t have a ride on it?? Wow!!! 👏 👏

[jessejunkkarinen]

Just ordered the cb650r, can't wait for the snow to melt! It's an awesome looking bike 🏍️

[beingsolo]

CB650R is the best option. It also retains its value best.
If you are in your 20s and want something more "fun", get the MT07.

[martinrea]

Great review! Factual and analytic. I have a Cb 500 f right now. I think my next bike will be one from this range, or else something like a Triumph Tiger 850 adventure style bike. 🏍

[JelloThatsMellow]

Just found your channel, and I like what I see! Keep up the good work! Your voice is passionate, and your opinion isn't filtered.

[sshardchrome]

Honda is best sounding bike in this size. Reminds me of CB500 Four or CBX750.

[goyoy]

I rented this bike for a day while in Thailand. I very much enjoyed the ride and having the extra power, over the commonly rented scooters, to exit a possible bad situation. 👍

[shosholozabalafon]

I just love that thing !!!
Just be sure to get the right colour (red of course) and just look at that magnificent motorcycle cooling down after a great ride.
