Mossy is the man! Great addition to the channel
@Michael MorettiYes, Michael. then after therapy it is revealed that the dog you have been having dreams about was symbolizes the - STFU
ThatRandomGuy20 he’s so little I’m surprised he could even get on those bikes
Mossy can properly ride a bike, well done, enjoying the reviews
I like Mossy. You can have him back anytime as far as I'm concerned. He's no nonsense... unlike Chris, who is almost all nonsense, but in a playful way. I'll never have either of these bikes but I like hearing what you think of them.
I had a 2018 CBR650f and never understood why what most Americans had to say about it was often "underpowered and overweight". To me the people saying that either ride 1000's like a street Rossi or are track masters. For the average rider who uses a bike for commuting, fun on the weekends, and just riding with buddies. I like what you had to say about these bikes, they are very very good at doing everything well. The comfortable ride of a cruiser, the get up and go (ish) of a 600 ss, and the cornering power of your favorite twisty killer bike. Plus as far as it's completion goes it destroys them all on everything EXCEPT price. But I feel that for the average commuter or weekend rider it's perfect and everything you'd expect it to do. That's why they marketed the 650f as the city commuter with a taste of the sporty heritage Honda is known so well for.
By 'eck Mossy can ride for the video guy! On those tyres he's a brave bloke (and a bloody funny and friendly one too)
He comes across as a really affable chap. Like his presenting style a lot.
A bit too Geordie perhaps
How is it that the sarcastic voice in my head sounds identical to Mossy !!!!Cheers more Mossy is what the world needs, you buggars !!!!
YES. I've been dying for a proper review of the new CB650R. Looks incredible.
For a naked a FZ07 is way better and lighter, for fairing bike a ninja 650 is way better and lighter.
@@everss02 yes but neither of them have I4's nor look this good. Also, it's got like 20hp over the both of those.
Yeah this bike LOOKS fantastic. Love the aesthetic. Had planned on an XSR700 but now I'm not so sure...
How can you even bring up a ninja 650 my cbr 650f puts them to shame
@@everss02 FZ has pogo suspension, ninja has 15 year old engine detuned now to 68hp vs the CBs 94
You know what lads... that 650r has struck a chord with me ... what a bloody good looking versatile machine.. I've been round the houses over the years, a plethora of litre bikes.. from all manufacturers , on my 3rd GS at present but one of those 650r's for jumping on when the mood takes me would be great alongside the long range bomber in the garage 👌🏼 ..
I love Mossy's point about power out of the corner. I have realised from those comments just how much I rely on the power coming out of a corner on my MT10, even two up! Thanks for your great test Moosy your years of wisdom transmit to us lesser beings well!
Mossy was muffled at 9:15 while on the bike for this American. But he's quite the character and knows his stuff. I learned a lot about Honda's place and rep in the industry, if nothing else. And I LOVE that kind of background. Cheers!
i love this new guy, a real oldschool biker and also funny bloke
I was polarized at first when I didn't see Statham's smiling face off the bat but this guy is fantastic. Props
I just chose the naked CB650r 2022 . Love the personality of a naked motorcycle . Cbr i see them more as a circuit bike and if i chose one at some point must be a 1000+ cc 🙏
Had a Cbr600f from 2001 when the came with fuel injection and the fox headlights. Basically a soft tourable relatively comfortable supersport. Freakin loved it. Plenty of speed, just over 100kph/60mph in first gear. Did my first tracks days on it.
As a proud Honda fan boy and owner of the 21 model CBr650r, nothing beat Honda in this middle class 600cc sport tourer and naked bike, period !!!!
Cbr650r one of the best looking bikes available at the mo
This older dude is excellent. He needs his own damn channel.
When I went looking for videos of my first bike (Suzuki GSX 650 FA) on UA-cam back in 2015 one of the first ones that came up was from this guy. Now I see him again today in one of your videos which I learned to love so much. Awesome content guys! Keep up the great work!
Mossy is absolutely awesome!! He has a very good way with words, everything seems very natural, he has a lot of genuinely great points to make about the bike and overall he's an incredible addition to the channel! If this was Chris and Al it'd be all dick jokes and comparing it to S1000RRs and calling it slow and boring
Cracking review lads keep up the good work. Mossy your the man, laughed me hoop of listening to the banter and review , please do more.
Full license in November and a CBR 600f with the aluminium frame will be what I get. Grandad had one back in the early 2000's and they are just so usable.
Another great review by Mossy. Really like the set up with the test and the aftertalk along with Al edited this way.
I like this new geezer
Perhaps the bbb should become a three way
Brilliant review. Have you two sacked Sue Perkins.
The UK may fall to pieces or whatever over the current Brexit chaos, but blokes like you two banteristas will still be there. You make my day, mates.
UK will fall to pieces but not because of Brexit, rather because the people who have built it are about to be replaced. UK was here before EU, but there is no UK in the Middle East or Africa.
Ay look its mossy the dogging expert
😂
Love that he has to stay on your channel Jason
Fagan's lifestyle has finally caught up with him!
Joking aside, I didn't know of Mossy before but on the basis of thie review he's a bloody good addition to the team.
Love the "ooo ya fucker" moments. More Mossy please👍👍
I’m a happy Honda owner & I approve this message 🏍
I think they're both really nice. Still a bit beige vs competition , but to be fair if Honda keep this up the bikes will be genuinely interesting!
The CB650R will become the modern day mid class stuntbike
I’ve just bought the naked version on Saturday for a little commuter. It’s been great so far. 👍
How has it been for the rest of the season?
I test rode a 600f in 1996 but went for the new GSXR600 instead which had just been released. Fast forward and in my more advanced years, this CBR650R looks like my perfect bike.
Finally a review which mentions the CBR600f as comparison. Obviously it's a new bike with better suspension and brakes, and overall newer. But might it be bolt to say the the CBR600f is less of a compromise engine wise, because the CBR650R has been designed, or tuned down, to meet A2 license 70kw regulations. So that maybe the CBR600f is actually still a better choice, unless you can 'tune' the 650R so that it isn't potentially compromised anymore. CBR600f makes around 75kw, CBR650R : 70kw
Foregone conclusion which one mossy is going to choose when he’s wearing leathers like those
First of all thanks, this is the first proper review i see about the 650R that mentions it's predecessor, the "classic" 600f. I've owned a '97 600f and still own a 600f 2002 that's close to the end of life cause of Euro 1 normative. This seems to be kind of the same bike a little bit less power (Euro 4...), next week i will give it a test in barcelona and hopefully find the proper successor.
It's predecessor was the 2011 600f. Great bike. I had one.
650F not 600f FFS
Another cracking viddie with mossy, keep it coming guys!
Looks a nice machine us oldies need fairings with comfort
He raises a solid point about taking a bike with 90 to 100bhp and restricting it. I never thought about how it would affect throttle response mid corner. I guess you could say an A2 rider wouldn't have the experience to corner at speeds where that would be an issue or would be riding the bike daily and therefore know its quibbles.
It’s the new F4i. Just needs a full system and steel brake lines.
And rear sets coming into the video ive heard the pegs scrape early, verrry early. Then he mossey goes and almost dumps it over
and rear seat cowl lol, this looks like my next bike :) im off to pre-order
Did u forget about the 650f ? This bike isnt even that much better than the 650f its only slighly updated
@@drewtaylor6623 Idk mate, them showa front forks alone would destroy the old model not to mention a 6kgs loss in weight with a 5% increase in power. put a full system on it and get it tuned and im sure you could hit 100hp on the rear wheel. Would make for a amazing commute bike.
6kg is nothing! You do realise they saved 3kg of that by not using as much oil and making the petrol tank smaller. Lol so basically it's 3kg lighter in the frame and thats it ! Also my cbr 650f weighs the same now with a full echaust system . Also this new 650r only has 4hp more not only that now it revs slighly higher the Torq under 5k revs isnt as good! Them new upside down forks still arent much better they are for looks it still doesn't hace a cartlidge in like the 600f4i
took the cbr650r for a test ride a week ago... Must admit i bloody loved it... but so many complain about it, steel frame and not powerful enough and what not... And my only personal gripe is the lack of MPG, rated only 46-48.... in my test ride I got it to 48...
Great review, one of the best I've watched so far. Can't wait o get my hands on my black CBR :) Thanks for the review.
What a great review. Mossy is a bloody champion. He's definitely a keeper :)
I've ridden both bikes and I completely agree with Mossy. The CBR650R is the better bike personally for me. Only gripe the back end on both bikes. Hopefully tail tidy will be available soon.
He'll be on the payroll at 44T soon if not already, and I can't blame you. If you want an honest opinion with a bit of daft craic, Mossy is your man 🤘
Sir Fagan, who is this delightful gentleman? He seems to know how to push a bike 😲
The F has been EFFED OFF! Brilliant!
Got to admit these CB 650s look bloody good!
oooh literally thinkning of purchasing a CBR650R so this should be interesting.
Me too. Upgrading from 2015 cb300f
11:32 - Weirdly enough, same thing happend to me when I tested a (naked) CB650R from my local dealer, in a mild turn at 50 km/h, 3rd gear. At it was bone dry, scorching hot day, too. Maybe I just added a tad bit more throttle while leaning over...
11:20 gold
Was thinking about getting the CB650R for my first "big bike" since I'm currently on the CB125R but after watching this I may spring for the CBR650R 🤔
after I got my licence I got a 2013 cbr600f which has about 10% more power than the cbr650r, and found it a perfect bike, so I would recommend highly this new version, my bike was stolen so now considering a triumph street triple which has about 125hp, but I prefer faired bikes and this looks great, especially in the black version - as they say in the vid there is no competition for this bike , no-one makes mid range faired sports bikes anymore
Cbr 650r is beautiful
I have to buy it now
Mods
Exhaust + k&n + new ECU + EBC brake pads
They should have named it F4i. Damn Honda missed out on capitalizing on the F4i name.
Mossy rips! he took that save like a champ and carried on chatting . I'd like to see a race with all 3 of ya to see the difference in pace.
he only touched the feeler down for a split second lol, that what they're there for.
@@deanthompson88 pretty sure the back wheel slid out.
I sure hope I'm still riding motorcycles at this guy's age! Especially sport bikes, it takes srength and a good ability to see and react. He still has it apparently 💪🏼🔥
Loving mossy, great honest review, hope to see him at the island this year I'll get him a pint in , first class
Reminiscing about my 600rr now...that was a bike!
The CB125R is more fun than both of them. had a go this weekend and its such a laugh to be on a tiny lightweight bike again.
For sale Kawasaki Z650 17plate 13k miles. New bike forces sale
This bike sounds like a proper piece of kit, a very nice compromise of all things.
Haven’t seen Mossy for ages what a legend. Cb650r looks decent aswell maybe it wasn’t such a bad move Honda ditching the 600rr and making this allrounder after all.
My first bike was a 1996 CBR600F3. Absolutely loved it! About time they released a follow-up bike!
Mine was a 94 Cbr600f2
Wish I’d still got it! Great bike!
I saw drone work, don't be afraid to get up in the air more often, whoever is piloting knows their angles to get a good shot up high. Nice work
I'm so glad Mossy keeps saying listen as I have no control over what senses I use what so.......oh look theres a bike!
MOSSY IS BACK!
I'm learning to ride on a CB650R, it's a bit boring but perfect to learn on.
Lovely review and informative.
Feedback: starting at 9:16, the audio is very muffled and it was difficult deciphering the contents.
Wow Mossy can really ride, I just have troubles understanding what his saying at times! Glad your there at the end Al to make sense of it all.👍
Lovely to see Fagan's Dad on again. More of this, please.
Sounds like me old 600F4i, was fun all around. Then got a R6, it taught me the difference between "good sex" and "best fuck of your life".
"A bit efficient, a bit Honda, which is both good and bad.." lmao haha
The cbr600rr has a higher compression ratio as compared to the cbr650r. The budget is in the performance, engine braking, suspension.
Mossy's a bloody ledge!! And another great review!! On par with your R7 one Stratham!!
Great review guys! My question is, money aside, which would you own: the CBR650R or the SV650?
SV650 is a boring dinosaur
What about the gsxs750? Think it would directly compete with the cbr650r if it had a fairing?
@@danousd very old lump of engine.. no midrange pull. have to wring its neck to go fast. Is also a lot heavier than most 600s and well the Suzuki dealerships are miniscule for service and is dated in terms of looks.
‘Mossy the gaper’ !!! I nearly wee’d a little bit 🤣🤣
Mossy is awesome, enough said.
I hope you guys do a review on new 500s
what a good honest blog.
I wonder if the EURO 4 is removed what the HP will be ? A little more power and tail tidy it should rival an F4i. It really looks good. Great review !!
Nice video! I just hate that rear of the CBR650R.. it has nothing to do with the rest of the bike unfortunately..
I don't think even a tail tidy could fix it.
it looks amazing with a seat cowl you should look it up. Its a must have imo
do you recommend this bike for beginners ?
Brilliant loving this format with the riding clips and Al and Mossy reviewing keep em coming.👍
Great review!! Looking trim there Al 👍👍
The ducati Supersport is in this bikes class. I would consider the cbr650r and ducati Supersport (base) to both be in this category personally. The ducati has better power, crap ton more torque, better seating position, better seat, better suspension, muuuuuch better tires and most of all has character. It does cost more but not a great deal. The Honda will probably be more reliable and has a nicer dash but me personally I'd choose the ducati. U guys should really put these two bikes against each other.
*cough cough* Still prefer the Hornet to any of the modern Honda nakeds
@SunzOffski Oh no I meant the same Hornet as you had, the 07-13 hornets are just levels above what they have currently in my opinion
When are we going to see a cbr1000r!? The old cbr1000f wasn't bad back in the day either....it seems an obvious gap to challenge the s1000zx, gsxs1000f etc
My arse fell out when he lost it on the way into that corner... he gives zero fucks and I love it!
Good review chaps! Little spot of criticism: when filming the actual ride, try to film the road ahead as well. The camera is tilted a bit too much down in my opinion.. Otherwise well done!
Alastair constantly looks on the verge of laughter with Mossy.
I like this Mossy, funny and smart man !
mossy lmao what a lad! hope to see alot of him love this channel
My first big boy bike was the original 1989 cbr 600f now i own a 2002 zx6r. This bike has got me interested though so might go check one out in the flesh
Mossy is great. More please!
Thanks for help me solved my problem to choose between this 2
😱😂When Sam popped that wheelie on the CBR! Sam's alright man!
Wiring seems to be wrong since the indicators are constantly on and the horn button is in the wrong place.
That's Honda's schtick these days. I quite like the always-on, half-bright front indicators - people definitely notice it, but maybe only because it's still unusual. You get used to the horn / indicators being the wrong way round pretty quickly; in fact I don't notice it jumping between bikes anymore.
Surely it's in competition with the Ducati supersport...well a cheaper version
Looking to get my hands on the CB1000R in a few months. Will you guys be doing a review of that beauty any time soon? I'm already convinced but I'd like to know your thoughts on it.
