2019 Honda CBR650R
No it's not restricted
Yes it has an exhaust (Akrapovic full titanium)
Yes I know the audio sucks
Yes I know I ride like an idiot.
And yes, believe it or not I am using a Gopro Hero 10 and a Purple Panda mic.
Thank you :). - Авто та транспорт
Links to my gear in the description (which you should not buy lol)
Also....if you guys would be kind enough to recommend some good gear....I would appreciate that :)
PS. I'm a big boi so if any of you know good quality brands that make 'bigger sizes' that would be awesome...thanks 🙂🙃.
I too am a big boi so getting gear that fit and was comfortable etc was something I was concerned about.
The day I passed my A license I went into the Honda dealership in Maidstone and spoke to the guys in there. They worked with my budget to get me the best I could get with the budget I had.
The Jacket is the Oxford Mondial Advanced and trousers are the Oxford Montreal 4.0. Boots are TCX Jupiter 4 Gore-Tex Boots. Helmet HJC R-PHA 70 - Erin Red and Alpinestars SP-8 V3 Leather Gloves. Cost me a good amount back in July, but I feel it's worth it even though my bike still hasn't been delivered!
I would defo visit a bike clothing store and go try on a few things. Always try them on before buying and be realistic with your pricing and I would recommend buying one thing at a time unless you have a nice big budget. I will eventually add to my gear and look at getting waterproof boots and thermal waterproof gloves, especially as I will officially start riding in the winter. *fingers crossed*
@@_DavidMiller_ That sounds really good, thanks for the gear recommendation. Sounds like you will be well sorted when your bike is delivered. I wish you safe riding during winter!!!
I think that vloggers that do ride with all the gear even if its not top quality have 1) better impact on young drivers and 2) have more views so take that into account haha. I'm not gonna lie on my 125 I usually ride with thick adidas trackies and a hoodie if its to the shop or something but when its work or somewhere further its a thicker jacket like a motorbike all weather jacket. I need winter gloves though cause I have alpinestars summer gloves and jesus my hands don't respond after 25 minutes. You're growing man keep it up also your talking is getting better every video so you're for sure getting the hang of it! :D
Very good points!! Wow a very motivating comment, thanks so much, seriously!
I live near Chelmsford and ride the road you were on a lot. There are some good biking routes in the area. Enjoying your content.
That's cool. I guess I need to go to Chelmsford more often 🤣. I only know a little bit of the area because I used to work there.
@@tvtwistasmoto Chelmsford itself is not somewhere to go unless you have to. I ride out east on the roads around the Rodings villages, north to Finchingfield and beyond and east you have places on the coast such as Burnham on Crouch, Bradwell on Sea Walton on the Naze. All good twistie roads and usually not too much traffic.
@@frankpenton Yes!!! As you say that......someone recently was telling me about the Burnham Bends. Not sure if you know it?
@@tvtwistasmoto Yes, not far from where I live. Good fun, but sometimes get guys in golf r’s and other hot hatches trying to drive up your exhaust pipe 😵💫
@@frankpenton 🤣🤣 fair enough
It is I who asked lol! Thanks for the vid and like all UK bikers we pray for summer
🤣🤣 oh yeah!! Thanks again for the idea and thanks for watching. Yes, summer can't come soon enough!
india, currently on a royal enfiled, thinking of upgrading to either a cbr650r or a zx6r.
beautiful sound and content btw.
Nice!!! Both great choices of bike, you will be happy either way. And thanks for the nice comment.
I wish we could lane split, here in Maryland USA
Yeah, i'm not sure I would ride anymore if I could not split 🤣.
I'm the same. I'm in the U.S. and I wear a $200 Scorpion EXO R420 helmet, $65 Alpinestars Crossland gloves no matter what. I'm not even legally required to wear a helmet but always do 100% after witnessing my neighbor literally fracture his skull going 5mph on his 4 wheeler on the street, flipped over and the 4 wheeler basically acted as a 800lb hammer to smash his head into the curb.
But that being said.
I only wear my Joe Rocket atomic 5.0 jacket ($180) when I'm doing highway riding or long trips.
I always wear boots but they are just regular Danner work boots that I wear all day everyday. And I wear regular pants and never shorts (mostly 5.11 stryke pants because they never bunch up or restrict my movement because they stretch and flex)
Long story short, good riding skills and habits out perform the best of gear!
Oof!! That accident sounds horrible, I understand why you always wear a helmet after that. I'm surprised that you don't legally have to wear a helmet though, that is interesting. I also agree that good riding is better than fancy gear. That being said i'm gonna try some better gear and see what the fuss is about.
and when a car t bones you?
@@brianpreval5602 Can't argue with that I suppose.
@@tvtwistasmoto yeah I'm in no way against the best gear, I just realize most people can't afford it, myself included.
If you can afford a $1,000 + helmet that's awesome! More power to you but I don't criticize people for what gear they have.
That being said...
I'm a honda guy thru and thru so
I will criticize you by what bike you ride however haha 🤣 jk.
@@upnorth5465 🤣 I agree.
Hi,I pre ordered the cbr650r 2023 model and heard a lot about vibration though seat & handle bars at 6000 rpm.How bad is this, as its starting to put me off ?.All over reviews seem positive apart fm lacking mid range grunt.Really appreciate if you can get back to me in this one.
Yes the bike does vibrate a bit at 6000-7000 rpm, you feel it in the seat, the bars, the tank and the foot pegs. In my opinion it's not that bad, I got used to it. Besides I have the 2019, the 2023 has a few updates to the showa front forks and to the euro 5 engine that should minimise the effects of the vibrations.
At the end of the day it depends how much it's going to bother you. If the vibrations are a big no no for you, then you probably won't like the bike. When I first got the bike I did not notice it, but when I started commuting on the motorway and cruised at 6-7k rpms I was surprised how noticeable the vibrations were. Caught me off guard at first but now as I said i'm used to it.
As for the mid range grunt, it is indeed lacking but it's not a problem, just something you will notice. Put the bike in the right gear, pin that throttle and she's gone!!
(Sorry for really long reply).
As far as cold weather gear. That's not even an option where I live.
Winter lasts 6 months and temperature stays around 10 to -30f. Snow and ice live on the road the entire time.
Wow!!! And I thought the UK was bad.
still not using the quick shifter? 🙃
might not have one they're an optional extra
I don't have one.
Correct!!
@@Dave-qq4lh I thought they were a standard option on all the 650's? Mine came with one (Canada) and when I asked the salesmen told me it was included on all of them (CB650/CBR650R).
My mistake then.
@@Gsr4me my 2022 never came with one here in the U.S.
you won't be 'good' if you come off!!
Funny enough, both times i've come off in the past I was not wearing gear, only a helmet (because I legally have to). And I was actually ok, just a little scrape here and there. To be honest, the way I ride, i'm either going too fast for gear to even matter....or too slow to get seriously injured 🤣.
@@tvtwistasmoto nothing more to say then.
@@brianpreval5602 Now that i'm acting confident i'm probably going to find myself in trouble now. Let me not tempt fate.
why are you waiting behind the cars? just go around them. I cringe a bit everytime i watch western Europeans riding bikes, you just drive them like cars. It defeats the whole purpose.
Oh trust me, I normally don't wait behind them. I just do it in videos because sometimes it is easier to gather my thoughts when sitting in traffic.
