Great video, I collect mine this week. Mine's in gray - I've added it to my small stable compising of a Honda Rebel 1100, also in gray and my Honda Monkey Bike 125 in yellow...
Great video marra, I nearly bought the pre e-clutch model but Triumph were offering the Trident 660 at 4.1% apr so thought I'd go for it. I'm not disappointed as the 660 is a great triple but I sometimes wonder if I'd have liked this new CB650r better. To make up for it my next bike (next year now) may well be the Honda CB1000R, I just cant understand why this bike is not more popular. Living down in Hertfordshire now with some amazing B roads for bikers. Cheers.
All the 'official' previous tests drove me up the wall! You Sir, beat them all, showing us the fine details of movement and noise, all I ever wanted! Does it beat DCT?
@@drdoolittle5724 no DCT is different. E-clutch is best of both worlds. If you need a clutch do a turn or small manoeuvre then you have it there. The DCT is smooth but you have to practice more to get those tight turns sorted.
@@Geordiebiketester I thought DCT was a failure to start but then learnt excessive use of the back brake resulted in better control than any bike I've ever had!
@@drdoolittle5724 yep that’s it practice using the DCT correctly and it’s mega. The E-clutch needs no practice jump on and go like you always have done.
@@thodoris3790 I think the CB650 has the most room but bars higher on the hornet. For me Hornet was more comfortable due to high bars nice straight back.
Looking for a good display review and this is it. Thanks man

@@Wheeliecooper monkey bikes rock love them.
I noticed there is no mounts for the spools for a paddock stand, I'm really surprised Honda omitted that. Sure, looks sweet!
Loved this bike on the demo day and still want one. Hopefully I can do a deal once they are in stock 🤞

@@Geordiebiketester Trouble is, Honda like the hybrid Kawasaki, have put out sport bikes when masses of guys would prefer a tourer!
@@drdoolittle5724 maybe we have a lot of back orders for CBR600RR and the CBR650R higher than normal this year.
Love me DCT but that’s so good. 60 plus with you riding it? Howay Graeme… I’m impressed😀
@@keithallan8200 what do you mean? It’s not my bike it belongs to Honda UK. I respect other people’s bikes unlike the bike press.
@@Geordiebiketester yeah right😆
