Honda bikes are same.. they are extremely nimble in lower RPMs but becomes a monster after crossing mid range RPMs. Typically, this is Honda's power delivery system.
One word for you Strell : SMOOTH. KEEP IT UP. I am no Pro rider but I must say as a lay man, you are a smooth rider. You teach a lot to the youth riders out there. Fast and smooth is the best combination according to me. Out of all the riders I have seen till date on youtube, I must say I really admire your riding style.
I know im randomly asking but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost my login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Axton Payton thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Greetings from South East Asia. As an American, your English reviews on motorcycles in the Asian market are very helpful to me, and I love that you go in-depth when reviewing motorcycles and not just gloss over the features. Keep up the great work!
I started watching your channel when I was looking for 300cc bike I ended up buying CBR250R ABS just like you :) mainly for pillion comfort and touring It's sad but happy at the same time. Congrats for the new CBR650R
Awesome video man, loved it. And am very happy to hear that you're getting recognized around the world! However, come on man...that ending was so so tempting! I badly wanted to see the beast touch his top speed!
I am very critical whenever buying my bikes. I’ve had a lot of sports bikes. Got a big cruiser (V-star 1300 tour deluxe) why, because all my riding friends had big cruisers. For the last 6 yrs I’ve never lost the desire for sport bikes. I sold the V-star this winter without telling them because I knew they would deter my choice. With all the sporties out there and after watching your vid, the CBR650r is going to be the best choice for me. 👍🏾
Your reviews are always to the point. No drama no bullshit. CBR 650 is currently looks very identical to its elder sibling cbr 1000. And don't say it's quite silent. Just Change the silencer and you will be amazed. By the way my pick would be Suzuki gsx s 750
Wait you just agreed IT IS SILENT by changing the silencer. That's the whole point of his review as it is, stock. Whats next you will tell him Don't say its slow, just swap the engine of a 1000CC motorycle? lmao
Great Review. What I love is that it talks about real aspects as opposed to dry facts which give you no sense of using the bike itself in the real world. I have booked this and have a painful waiting period before I can get my hands on this. As you might know, there is no test ride bike in Bangalore (at least there wasn't the last time I visited Silicon Honda). I would love for you to answer some of my questions. - How is the heat in bumper to bumper traffic? - Can you please expand a little more on the ground clearance? - While I am sold on the positives, any negatives you think might be good to know for future owners such as I? I know this is a long list of questions. This being a new bike, there is a dearth of ownership review and first ride reviews just aren't the same. Would appreciate some input when you get the time.
Really love the details that you have provided. I am actually considering this bike when it is launched again in India (BS6 variant). My only concern was its ground clearance. Can you please shine some light over the same. P.S. Love your reviews and you're doing an amazing job.
Been closely waiting for your reviews. Good to know the things which we miss as lack of test ride. Getting the same beast soon, hope to meet you on a ride :)
Genuine review , Honda is Honda, very reliable very practical , Very linear, Its chassis and suspension is perfect for Road conditions Honda 's engine is way supreme than any other Brands its known for its Motor So Refined , every ride is joy and you can feel the Inline symphony 🤗👍
Most of the bikes have a torque screw to adjust the height of low/high beam. Please check in the next service. The rear shocks are adjusted to the softest setting by default. Get it checked. The bottoming issue should resolve. There are touring helmets and then there are race focused helmets. Check out which one suits you more. Also, the double bubble is very much needed for your touring purposes. Very concise and informative review. Keep driving and sharing. Wishing you happy miles ahead.
this guy makes such long videos n surprisingly i want him to keep talking n i feel left out when the video ends🥺🥺 can’t vocalize my appreciation for you dude, i search your vids n listen to them when i eat n roam around, even though the bikes in the vid is completely irrelevant to me😂😂 i searched duke 390 in your channel but you have a bs4 one… watched it but i wished you made a refreshed one too… i’m gonna buy that soon (booked already) wish me luck
Awesome video pal! Simple and honest reviews, love your channel! Can you do a comparison between R3 and the 650 twins, as their price point is very similar and both are parallel twin?
hey strell .... this was a really nice impression video 👍 .... i wanted to ask you if you think its better to get your bike refueled from Shell compared to others for 300cc bikes ? there are alot of websites which answer this and they are all mixed ..... i just wanted to know what you think ?
Bless you man! Happy for you. One thing, Honda and smoothness and bread and butter, you just can't go wrong with a Honda. I say, this is a souped up CBR250R. Nice pillion comfort, great pilot triangle. This one's definitely a keeper!
great video man, im considering buying this motorcycle, ive ridden my yamaha r3 for 1 year now. i have heard the LCD brightness is too low? what is ur opinion?
Another excellent video sir, also I'm a little curious about the power and torque, here in the UK the same machine has 94hp and 64nm of torque, does this mean the bike is restricted in India?
Really informative dude, thanks for the insights. Will you make a city ride vlog. Handling the traffic in city, if you dont mind. That would really help.
Hi Strell, big fan of ur videos. I just wanted to ask you abt the ground clearance of all these sports tourer. Are they (120-150mm) good enough for indian roads? Couze on highways when ur cruising 100+ and all of a sudden u get a bump (without any marking, couze its india) u tend to run over it. In that case u'll be damaging ur bike from bottom, and u don't want to do that, couze bike is love!
Awesome video bro ..just one question I ride bullet 350 classic bs 6..now thinking about getting another bike 650 segment ..plz suggest ninja or this one ...sound matters to me a lot plus the feel and day in day out manoeuvring...and that super bike feel plz suggest or any other in addition to these two
Strell, which camera and mount do you use? The visibility is great! I feel the helmet mount generally spoils the aesthetic looks of a good helmet like AGV, so wanted to check with you. Thank you.
Strell can you please make a video on how to set up a moto vlog helmet i.e. how you mount the camera without damaging the helmet and how to get such good audio quality?
Thank you for your review. You and I seem to have similar purpose/goal when it comes to a motorcycle although my longest weekend tour has been just about 300 km (6 hour a day) with my 2017 Ninja 300. I want to upgrade my bike and am so torn between Ninja 650 and CBR650R. Do you think I can be fine with 1.25 hr of heavy city traffic (one way) on CBR650R?

Was looking for this but I consolidated myself that I'm not ready yet for this much power. I go crazy a lot of times with only around 40bhp 😅 So I think I'll wait a little bit for this craziness to go away and get cooler mindset. Maybe after a couple of years. This is the perfect bike as per my choice. Looks Engine Ergonomics Seat height ... everything is fine. I actually don't worry much about the gas mileage.

Nice review . Looking forward for this bike, however the main concern is riding posture , @6:02- is there way to set up the handle bar a lil higher (of course keeping the Fork Rake the same ) for a comfy ride - should make a big diff,

Even my cbr 150 acts like that, so it does apply to bigger cc engine
Exactly my cb shine SP 125 acts just the same when I have it at around 50 in 5th gear and then i shift to 3rd it roars like anything
