Today we are finishing up all the First Rides on the 650 class bikes with the 2019 Honda CBR 650R. This is the new bike on the block when it comes to the 650 class. It also comes in a good bit more expensive than the rest so let's hope that extra cash gives you a better bike. Can the CBR 650r take on the long-standing rivals of the SV 650x and the Ninja 650? Let's find out!

Nice production quality as always Chase. A couple of things I want to mention about this bike, I own the naked version but I currently have the CBR on loan from Honda. I find the clutch really nice on these, really light but you can definitely tell when it's biting. Mirrors are fine, you just need to adjust them. To get the supersport experience, you have to rev this bike out. Gear low, revs high and this bike is a real hoot. It's a proper everyday sports bike. Here in the UK the bike is ridiculously cheap too, under £8k making it much more attractive. Ride safe brother, peace! EBD
Dan I loved your in depth review on this bike, even considering this as my next purchase.
@@Sumpguard Thanks Alvin, appreciate it. :)
@@Englishbikerdan subscriber of your channel Dan, upgrading from yamaha r3 to cbr650r as my second bike in india...do u think itz worth?
@@anirbanghosh5066in india itll be great unless you want a true supersport but it would be super difficult to use anywhere
@atharvakamat313 Honda and yamaha knows our india very well...we hate them about pricing and products,but they cater to practicality aspect much more than other brands, thatz what I blv...and am gonna stay with yamaha or Honda for future motorcycles😊
I bought this bike 3 weeks ago. I agree the clutch has zero feel, but personally I like it. It’s the lightest clutch lever pull I’ve ever felt. The handle bars and foot pegs do buzz a little bit at higher RPMs but acceptable. The best things about this bike are: radial mounted calipers, inverted forks, ram air, in-line 4 cylinder. Those are the things that make it feel like a super sport. Honestly I am very happy with it. Sure it’s not the fastest thing in the market, but it’s a very focused bike with a purpose. I’m glad you got to ride it Chase!
Milo Milo yes this is a pretty decent long distance bike. I’ve went on a 100 mile ride recently and it did great. It’s good on the freeway and great in the twisty mountains.
I've been looking for my first bike and I've totally fallen in love with it, do you recommend it?
@@theGizmo100 I would recommend it because I bought one 4 days ago and it’s perfect
@@theGizmo100 it can be used as a first bike if you’re sensible. Still probably best to get a 300 for a month or two. The 650 is pretty expensive so if you drop it you’re kinda fucked
It is really awesome as a second bike, but honda made a better bike ,CBR 600RR for the sport, but as a sport tourer, it really good, the inline 4 gives it a bad low end torque , still ok.
If your friends know absolutely nothing about bikes, they'll think this is one of the fastest bikes out there, simply because of the way it looks. I love it!!!
My friends know nothing about bikes and they think this about my 2018 CBR500R 😂
@@dylankeenan1590 same!
@No_Name yep, at 98 HP, and weighing less than 400 lbs you’re still going to be the fastest thing on the road 98% of the time. Heck if you have a Ninja 400, you’re going to be the fastest thing on the road at-least 75% of the time.
I love this bike.
@@chalkdemon8019 I have a ninja 300 and i still feel way faster than the majority of the cars 😂
As an owner of the Honda CBR 650r, 2019 edition, the clutch is so light but I guess you could add an adjustable lever, I do agree with that. I'll be honest on mine, as I've done almost 3000 miles, the gearing really clunks into place for me. On the motorway/highway, you can easily do 100Mph + comfortably with no worries and if you are in the right rev range, 8000+ and above, it will pull really good. In the corners it basically just falls over. Personally I think it's a really polished machine, maybe a little too refined maybe. The bike essentially is perfectly good at everything, but it doesn't stand out in any specific way. Perfect for an upgrade from a smaller capacity bike. I ride this bike everyday and I've done almost 3000 miles on it, but I love every minute, its a bike you can basically ride in whichever way you like, aggressive or chilled out, and I've done over 200miles in one trip and it's super comfortable. I also love that induction noise! Also outro crew rating for me as an owner - 8/10
ECU remap it totally improves it, now it's a lot more fun
Loving having others that have put more miles on the bikes give their info man. Thanks for commenting!
Damnit I'm conflicted now. I've been riding a Honda ctx700n and want to upgrade within the next year. Really liking the gsxs750 but now this is on my radar.
How are the vibrations? Some other videos have mentioned the bike gets really bad vibes at certain RPMs.
I ride a cb650r and i realy enjoy riding it. Your comment is spot on!
Sometimes, you can hear in a person's voice when they aren't overly excited about riding a bike...but, if you have the luxury of riding literally hundreds of different bikes so that you can truly know what tickles your fancy, I guess this is not a bad thing lol
Treizez34 well put
Love how you're pumping out these First Rides.
I just started watching your reviews and i love how in-depth you get. From the graph at the beginning to performance. I think it’s really dope
I will say, this thing's position looks a lot like the old VFR800. Not too upright, not too aggressive. Seems comfortable
Bike is a gem honestly, really versatile and great for the street rider and commuter. But still advantageous enough for some spirited riding and comfortably at that. Inline four as well, sheeesh let's be honest here I love this bike. Good review, feel like you missed the ball on some great points about this bike that would have made it a great review. Luv ya
Finally a comprehensive review of this bike.. Good job man
I've owned this bike since August of '19...LOVE it. Upgraded from a 2016 CB500X (changed riding styles?) The bike is pretty good at anything, but not perfect at anything...that being said, it's perfect at being good at everything. Efficient for a daily commute (I do everyday, to and from work), comfy enough for a nice, long cruise, and power when I want it to get away from all the a**holes on the road. It handles corners nicely, too! Fun bike overall, glad I made the purchase on it.
The first ride I’ve been waiting for!!
This video really sold me on the CBR650R. Looking forward to when I graduate school and can buy one of these beautiful machines.
Bro, you can still see the colored lines on the tires. You know they're brand new and won't have any grip. Also, the clutch is by cable, and you can for sure adjust how it feels.
noobasdfjkl all that stuff can be adjusted. Mirrors buttons clutch break all that stuff can be customized. People don’t know that and it’s annoying because they judge the bike off that stuff. It’s like wtf
Agree, also you can't really do a proper comparison unless every bike has the exact same tyres.
Good tyres transformed my cornering by quite alot.
Unfortunately it's not just about lines, most expensive bike here, has the cheapest tyres ;)
@@JeTmanChannel That's usually the case. Imagine if they put good tyres on, the price would be too high and then it's harder to sell.
This is why triumph tends to be priced higher. Decent tyres and amazing brakes.
I'm so in love with this bike😩🔥
But how do you like the clutch?
Ohhhhhh I beeen waitin for this one!
I’m so happy rn. I’ve been waiting so long to see your review on the 650r. I want that bike to be my first bike
It'll be my 2nd. IF I decide to upgrade. I have the Ninja 400 and it does wonders for me
I got it this summer and was definitely a great scoop had the time of my life and can’t wait to be able to ride again after winter
Moving up from a 300 I wanted a supersport but didn't want a track-focused super-weapon. After looking around I found this to be a perfect compromise of a supersport and a 650 class bike without sacrificing too much on either end. Huge plug for me is it's still geared towards performance with the high revving I-4 + plus it doesn't sound like a lawn mower. This just solidified my feelings, love this bike! Coming for it soon!
Lol jk I got a daytona
@@BlueDevilMoto how's your back?
@@pocketpunch9920 just fine 😂
@@BlueDevilMoto hehe 675s are beautiful and great, I just can't ride them for very long hahaha
@@pocketpunch9920 they're definitely not meant to be ridden like a cruiser. I've never taken a trip longer than a couple of hours, anything more and you really have to pull off and relax for a bit
I've been riding over 12 years on over 30 different bikes and I can't wait to get this and add to my collection. This bike is the modern version of the F4i which was wanted for years. I think Honda hit it right on the nail with this one and I absolutely love the way it looks.
Its exactly what I think, its very like a 90s supersport in its position and power ect. You know when 600s sold like hotcakes before they got ever more extreme and unusable
But it has ten less horsepower with 50 cc more than the f4i. Need some rawness in a 600, this feels very predictable and sterile.
How about a ride or a review on a CBR500R 2019/2020 chase. Really love ur videos dude, keep it up👍
Hello there Mr. Chase, it's just a recommendation from me. Every time you felt like going to ride a motorcycle for the "First Ride" series, make sure you set/adjust/request the clutch lever to be your preference settings/adjustments. So you can have equal/similar clutch feeling for all the motorcycles you're going to ride and better at judging them. Cheers...!! 😁
Chase, huge fan. Binge watching WBR, love the first ride reviews. The CBR650r was on my list for a future bike, I need a ride for long rides, commute to work, and I love the sport look
Once again, like in the Ninja 650 video, slip assist clutch not mentioned. I would think that might affect the way you interpret the clutch and the engine braking. 😉
Chase, are you going to do 600 super sports next after you get done with this first ride series
The engine is tuned to take regular fuel and fuel economy. I find inline 4s with lighter valve springs tend to do better in fuel economy but vibrate more as a result.
Outro Crew: 9/10 for sure the best bike of the 3, looks, sound, handling
Putting a heavier set of springs in the clutch can improve the feel somewhat, aka make the pull a bit heavier at the lever, it has an added benefit of giving the plates more grab when fully closed, but it depends if these are available in the aftermarket. It also requires removing the clutch from inside the engine.
Loving the daily first ride uploads
I can look at this bike all day everyday.
I have the late 2016 version of this bike (it’s basically identical, they’ve just changed the body shapes, dash, etc. and yes I have driven both!) - it’s the stock levers you’re hating. PLEASE don’t judge this bike on the levers!!! I replaced mine with aftermarket adjustables a week after buying this bike and the difference is phenomenal (I also have tiny hands so...). I know exactly how you’re feeling with that clutch and even after adjusting the cables repeatedly, I still struggled and wasn’t happy, so decided to give aftermarkets a shot and everyone else I’ve recommended changing them to, have noticed the difference which is ridiculous! I’ve done over 50,000 miles on this bike so far and do 400+ miles commuting every weekend here on the UK, in all weathers, so I will definately say this is a great bike for commuting! The stock tyres on this bike are also not great and they eat nails, etc. - mine are currently Michelin Pilot Road 5’s but previously had the Metzeler 01’s and both were such an improvement. It’s such a super stable bike! Pillions are also happy on it :) I’m a fairly short female and my partner (male) rides on the back sometimes and has no complaints even after 100 miles. The only thing I disagree on (sorry!) is the lack of good engine breaking as I use this all the time and have never had an issue with it not being good enough for general use, but that might just be me XD Great to see this review from you, as have been waiting for you to test this bike for ages, so thanks!
These videos (and comments) are so helpful for researching my purchase. Thanks everyone.
You can upgrade the clutch springs, but on this bike is a slipper clutch so it's suppose to be soft. Those type of clutch are easy to use for beginners.
Hey chase... how do you get the B roll
Shots at the start? Is it handheld or on a tracker ?
Great review Chase! I like this bike. I don't own one but this review makes me want one. Good Job! By the way, the easy pull clutch would be a plus for me.
So interesting to see Chase giggling and thrilled with the CBR300R but not so much on the 500 and 650...
Love your videos Chase, keep up the good work.
Almost a year owning this bike, I absolutely love it and yeah the clutch is strange at first but now I'm used to it so I don't stall every lights lol
Is this a good beginner bikes?
I own this one. Feel great everyday riding it
Outro crew 9/10 the only negative being the price compared to the others in the class but you get what you pay for
The clutch is designed to be very lightweight. It has an assisted/slipper clutch designed to feel like an easy step from smaller bikes
isn't the clutch maybe only relevant when you're driving off a standstill? and aren't hydraulic clutches also light af?
Slipper clutch comes stock on those I believe, lighter pull, less feel in the clutch but very durable and forgiving on upshifts and downshifts.
Really digging the looks of this. Like, REALLY digging it. It would be my choice for sure, but I'm a Honda fanboy so my opinion is horrifically biased. 🤣
@ChaseOnTwoWheels: What is it exactly that you don't like about the clutch?
Chase, I love your reviews and have watched many over the last few weeks all the while shopping for the correct bike. Today, I’ve found a 600r discounted very heavily and within my price range. Your review many have steered me away from this model due to a few issues; clutch, peg positioning, low range torque, wind screen setup, turn signal positioning. In short, your words hold more weight than you may know. It may be best for everyone (viewer included) to have you critique the bike later in the ride, possibly atleast till you’ve driven on highway. Several reviews (including this one) you went from not so good to really nice.
On a site note, I spent a few years reviewing restaurants and small businesses. I love what you’ve been offering, however wish you would hold off negatively critiquing until further into the ride. That way we get an overall view on a scale of 1:10; something a little more measurable.
See Ya’h round
My dad bought me a honda cbr125r two weeks ago and now this comes in my notifications
Would you say the cbr 650 is comparable in acceleration to a Suzuki Katana? 600 or 750?
The bike that I've been waitinggg
Get it with abs quickshifter traction control
Wojciech Kalka u can’t the the abs/traction control and the quickshifter... it’s one or the other
hendrix yes you can. Or at least here in the uk you can.
altypeRR idk but when I called Honda about it for mine that’s what they told me
@@WojciechKalka I think in malaysia we didn't have quickshifter for this bike
Heya Chase, have you ever thought about doing a first ride on a CB400 ? Would love to see one
Hey chase i have two options cbr 500r or ninja 400, if i ask you which of this two will you recommend in term of reliability, ergonomics, smooth shifting gearbox. We just focus w/ this two brand, forget about power im not racing anyway. Hope to hear from you soon, thanks dude..
Wow the bike looks amazing and love the I-4 sound over the twin. It's crazy how Honda makes a 500r and 650r look better than there 600rr....
So, what do you think of the clutch?
Waited for this for so longgg
You could just replace the levers with aftermarket adjustable ones, that should solve the clutch problem, right?
I think this is a beautiful machine. Passed by one in the dark color scheme this week. Beautiful! I'm riding an old (sport)touring (Yamaha XJ900s) but I might consider this as a second, fun-bike.
Good first ride clutchontwowheels. :P This made me consider the red color over the black as well. Cheers!
Hey can you tell me which bike is better CBR650r or Z900. Can u do a comparison video
I give this a 8, liked it the best.
I bet you could change the tension on the wire of the clutch to give you more feel.
I'm seriously considering trading my CBR500R in for this. But I'm also looking at the 2008 CBR600RR. Which would be the better buy?
Does the discountcode also work in different country's?
Greetings from Russia. Do you remember the tires type? is it Dunlop? You mantioned, that your tires wast good enough...would you recommend to change the stock tires or it's not too bad?!
thanks
Would you consider this a good beginner bike?
Chaseontwowheels what is the difference between CBR 650R and CBR 650F? Ergonomics,riding position,handle bars higher . Which bike is more likely a sport touring?
All I hear is contradiction and drivel. "The bike makes me want a supersport experience but the engine doesn't deliver." Yet, "The riding position isn't quite super sport, but not as relaxed..." then later "Yeah, this bike is a lot more like a super sport" So which is it? Also, the engine revs out 12,800 rpm, yet you complain about it not delivering a super sport like experience when you barely scratch 8000rpm really early into the review. As for the clutch - It has a Slipper and Assist clutch, which is why it feels so light. I didn't once see you screw up a clutch engagement... Maybe, and hear me out, just maybe, you aren't used to it?
Totally possible my dude. In my First Ride videos they are just that. A First Ride and during them I'm working out my feelings on the bike and how I feel about it. Its not unheard of for my opinion to change as the video goes on.
@@chaseontwowheels I can't fault that as it is a literal "Ride review." I would say that it may be a good idea to ride the bike before recording to help formulate full opinions, then do a second ride to record and then express those opinions when they are fully formed. Some of your observations about this bike were spot on, and others just seemed... odd. Something to conclude about this bike that was a missed opportunity, for example, was that this is a great beginner/learner track bike that can also be a better daily than a full on super sport 600.
Wow, I feel so much more "complete" now. So, First Rides are like one-night-stands with weed/liquor.
Michael Nickname The purpose of the semi mid class is not to include Super Sports or weren’t you paying attention?
@@OddBallPerformance - Why develop full impressions first? That would be a review. This is a first ride... aka "This is what you might feel or think your first time on it." I like the format.
18:59 "Future bike."
I had one...it’s boring...I traded it for the 2020 CBR650R
Is it a good bike to learn on?
The engine in a Honda rebel. Thoughts?
do you recommend this bike for beginners ?
You look GREAT on that bike, Chase.
one of the main things other reviews praise about this bike is the clutch and gearbox... personal preference, I guess
Hi guys, I just bought a 15cbr650f used,
And I found that clutch is bad, you have to release about 90%of the clutch to get the friction zone, is it normal? That is the only thing causes problem to me so far, especially stop at a red light, and I can feel the engine engaged so slow
You can change the clutch springs to give you more a harder pull/more feel from the clutch. People do it all the time.
Death Wish83 yes but this bike comes stock with a slipper clutch with a lighter clutch pull, the F model that I have has the old clutch and a much harder pull getting stuck in gridlock on the highway was a bitch
Bro if its a new bike, clutch cable probably just needs to be adjusted?
How does the seating position compare to an r3?
Question is, Should I get this or a CB650R?
Would you pick this or the Daytona if you had to?
For a point of reference what is your height and inseam length?
how does this compare to a 600 supersport? looks like a crossover between standard and sport bike. kind of like the old sv650s?
I’m looking to buy this bike 😭 thanks for this video!
The tail top seat key is a game changer.
Because of the clutch, I am terrified making left turn at the traffic light, I feel like I can not go from stop fast enough to make the left turn safely
@chaseontwowheels have you ever done a ride review on the fz6r?
Man this bike looks good. Not sure if it’s the one I’d buy but it looks sweet.
How would this bike compare with the Honda VFR800 F?
This bike has a lams version here in NZ (beginner riders) but so does the new Aprilia 660 and I'm so conflicted by which one to go for.
Can you do a first ride of the Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX? There seem to be a lot of changes for this year.
There’s a quick shifter add on from Honda if you don’t like clutch.
What camera do you use?
Great video!!
How tall are you? Really good review 👍 thanks
Im debating between the cb650r naked and this bike, both are inline 4 however with the cbr 650r i want the bars raised for a more relaxed ride, and the cb650r I want the bike lowered 2inches just because im a bit over 5'7 so its a toss up for me
Need help, should I go used 2019 or new 2021? Used 2019 only has 500 miles and is about $2500 off MSRP of a new one. Are the upgrades worth it to go to newer model? Anyone ride both by chance ?
This bike is learner approved in Australia. Do you think maybe it has too much power for a beginner rider?
I’m convinced! Was in love with the Kawasaki Ninja 650. Even went to mountain motor sports in Marietta and almost had them ship it to my apartment but had a last minute change of though. But after this video, which I knew you’d put up last of the 3 lol, I’m going to get this CBR! I’m in love with it. And I’m a first time rider so hopefully I’ll get used to it sooner than the Kawasaki.
Make sure you do the First Ride pricing so you get the best deal on the bike if you are going with Mountain Motorsports!
I rode the ninja 650 for 5 years it was the best bike ever and very forgiving if you made a mistake. Abd very fast of the line. I use to surprise guys on 600s and 1000s all the time. I even had a few pull up and ask me what the hell is this. But after watching this I think ima have to trade her in for this bike.
Brandon Goicuria my story is pretty much the same. Was eyeing the Ninja 650 until I started doing more research and learning more about this CBR 650R. Now I am in love with this bike and have my mind made up and will be going to the dealership tomorrow to make a deal on one. Gorgeous styling, great versatility and Honda reliability. Can’t go wrong.
This or the cbr600rr? Loving the look of the 650r tho
yo boss when you gonna ride the 2018-19 600 cbr :/
im surprised you didn't test the CB650R as well which is the naked version of this bike
Love the Tac on this bike. Also do you think the subtle clutch lever could be mitigated with adjustable after market levers? (Edit just realized you asked the audience something similar a few minutes in)
I don't understand the clutch critique. Is the disengaged clutch just not apparent when pulled-in or is it too smooth?
On acceleration the engine/drive train informs the rider (maybe he means deceleration)
