Well, I just started being interested in bikes, so please don't kill me, but I like the more classy look of the CB, it looks less bossy but The CBR is awesome too. Honda for life
As you experiment more, you will find your body will have a preference for a bike type vs your preference in a bike. I like classic styling but sports bikes make me feel more in control.
Me too, I liked the naked one. This would be my future dream bike. I love the looks of it and the build quality is very nice. I always dream of owning inline 4s middleweight so this could be it.
It's crazy how tastes change. Just a few years ago not only would I have said the super sport looks better but that the naked bike was ugly. Now, I'm in love with that naked bike!
No-one ever talks about how much fun a sportsbike is to ride, compared to a naked. The wind protection and aerodynamics of a sportsbike make up for being blown around by the wind of a naked. IMO a sports is more comfortable than a naked, even though it's a more aggressive seating position. Pity Yamaha haven't developed a sport version of their MT07 (aussie LAMS). CBR650R might be my next bike!
Identical bikes, but you know that in the US, insurance on the CBR650R will easily be twice as much because of the full fairings and "sport bike" categorization!
nice bikes. Im leaning on the CB650r. my only suggestion is you should atleast tell the viewers your height at the start of the video for reference 😊. anyways. welldone. keep it up💪
Situation had changed. On 2018 sport bike was more nice - short exhaust, hole under seat by side view, installation of front brake discs. But on 2019 naked is the winner. No more comment.
The Cbr650r is imo one of the best looking bikes ever made. I never liked the way Honda Bikes looked previously. It's a shame we here in Australia are only getting the 35kw learner approved version of it here, 😥 At least that's what I heard. I absolutely dislike the 2018 CBR600RR's styling (I just can't stand the front end's look), hopefully we will get a new model eventually that looks more like the 650r...
is there no way you can ride a bike without that restriction over there ? I'm thinking to move to Australia one day, it's like my dream country to live in, but I do hope I won't be stuck with learner bike power on a 650. There must be a way to ride the bikes to their full potential, isn't it ?
Hi JF, I just saw you did the cb500x review on your czech channel, but no english version videos anymore for some months already? :-(( You stopped with the english? If so too bad, you usually had a very personal view on things, that was nice. greetz!
They both look good. The naked looks AMAZING, soo much better than the previous mid nakeds Honda has offered, but I really don't like nakeds through corners so CBR for me :)
Well, you probably felt that way because the looks and ergonomics of the CBR, not because some minor superiority on very high revs. I own a CBR600F and a FZ6, and felt the same way, but on the engine side the power is so similar that you actually can mistake one for another. And I am talking about two different brands, imagine how subtle the changes are between these two you recorded. I am still not convinced to change one of my bikes for these new models though. But this Honda can make me at least think about.
Thanks for addressing. I heard that, riding in the sunlight, glare on the LCD display is an issue on the naked version. From the videos, it doesn't seem to be an issue on the faired version, as the display is surrounded by the fairing and windscreen, blocking some of the glare. Or maybe a good flyscreen on the naked version would solve this problem.
Nice Short Intro, Thanks, I liked so much CB 650R Because of i wanted to ride every day and mostly on Long Rides with pillion comfort because i always got Family Member or Friend with me for ride.
We need a comparison of the old 2006 Honda CB600F Hornet to the new CB650R, the bike is 13 years younger and is down 2.5 HP has identical torque numbers and weighs the exact same wet. The only thing that sets them apart is slightly larger brakes and fuel injection.
Love these and have owned both , yes I'm mental. For me the neo version was great looking and more relaxed riding position. After a while I really began to love the sports look so opted for the change. It's 90% down to the look and rhe remainder is the position. Sports only being slightly more inclined. Just love the cbr650r now and plan on a change to a sports exhaust ... buy one
Japanese bikes are the best in the world. Honda is one of them. The compact in line parallel four is as smooth as silk and linear throttle in the 650cc displacement. CB650R is definitely versatile bikes serving multi purpose from commuting and weekend companion.
@ 202kg The CB650R is slightly heavier than Triumph’s new Speed Twin, which surprised me; but the Honda is more that £3,000 cheaper which makes it attractive if you want a bike to have blast on fine days. It’s good to see attractive modern bikes. Perhaps there are enough retro bikes on the market now. I might miss having a centre stand for maintenance and cleaning.
@@ericfernandezfont2115 true, plus the 790 has a mad power band compared to the Honda, but no front adjustable suspension 🤔 tough choice! CB650r looks so gorj though!
my dream bike brother . hopefully they truely heartedly to sponsor CB650r on me to motovloging like yours i appreciated what your are doing ang still supporting you. thank you so much of your impormation.
I’ll choose CBR650R it has great looks great price great maintenance in India we don’t have roads for 300kmph we don’t need hayabusa zx10r this bike is best in class 🔥❤️
I like super sport bikes big time, but i wouldn't pay additional cash for the CBR650R just because it looks more sporty. It's the same engine and on top of everything the CB650R looks really cool without those plastics on the side. To me super sport bikes should be a bit crazier than a 93-94HP.... If i have to choose between CB650R and a super sport, i would go with a CBR600RR...
@@paoloc3318 Sure, it maybe depends - from what type of bike the rider is jumping over. If it's a sport bike - maybe it's still ok... Im 180 and the knees are too bent. Longer trips become too tyring. Otherwise a dream bike to ride. Really liked it.
1) It's a little big and too early for a beginner rider, but 650cc is safer (I would say slower but has a nice torque) than 600cc. So just be careful with it 2) You should reconsider again for the Raider AIDS or the ergonomics, try to compare with the competitor bike (such as z650, mt07, trident 660)
Why everyone dislikes this Cbr? I don’t know why cause I’m new rider, I truly love this style. just tell me why. As a rider in japan, it must be hard to ride ss bikes thanks to stop and go traffic. I thought this one really suits me.
I love the CBR650R too, prefer supersport bikes compared to the other genres. I think it's a great bike overall and definitely should be enough for all purposes a common rider might need. Possibly my next bike. The thing is that the marked today is hyped for "retro" and adventure bikes, so any model that fits into those categories seem to be more successful today.
@@JoaoLucas-oh9fh i really like the cbr650r, but none of the colors. Red isnt for me, matt black is neither cool or pratical. The matt blue just looks bad. So no choice. Id take a cb650r in propper black
Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a simple review of a naked bike? Every other video is some teenager trying to turn a cheaper FZ into an R6 but yes, I would enjoy a stroll through the mountains with a CB. A very fast stroll, of course.
They won't do it cos they are deaf to customers, naked is too naked,they could have make it like Suzuki gsx 750, little bikini like you said,sam with my z900 unlike z800 with bikinis,better choice is suzi 750 n pricing here is almost same
For those people who are below 40 years old, they will go with CBR..above 40 they will go with CB...is just that simple..above 40s your looking for riding enjoyment, below 40, your looking for thrills and fun of cornering. For those who have wife and she knows that you have a terrible bike accident before..you could only have a small engine bike bellow 300cc 😑
Love my CB650R, a beauty in red with all the mods. Vroom vroom. Just twist the throttle and it turns into rocket ship 🚀
Great work, I'd take them both home if I had the cash, Honda really nailed it this year.
Bro, I don't think your visor would connect to the temple synapses under a helmet though?

Don't usually care for hondas design language but they really nailed both. I love the naked cafe look.
The answer is: yes, you should. It is awesome. I didn't do the test ride, but I bought anyway. I am in love with this bike, it's great.
Actually the front of 650r is beautiful than fireblade
I like the naked one, great video.

cbr650rとcb650r、どちらも日本の道に合った良いバイクです。
日本の免許制度の関係上、大型自動二輪初心者がリッターバイクへ乗りたがる傾向がありますがCbr650r&cb650rは、その性能と取り回しの良さで中堅〜ベテランライダーが乗っている人が多いです。
ちなみに日本の免許制度は401cc〜無制限が大型、126〜400ccまでが普通、51〜125ccまでが小型二輪と分かれております。
Finally a technical video on both of theses bikes - you’ve got a new sub

Thanks for addressing.
I heard that, riding in the sunlight, glare on the LCD display is an issue on the naked version. From the videos, it doesn't seem to be an issue on the faired version, as the display is surrounded by the fairing and windscreen, blocking some of the glare.
Or maybe a good flyscreen on the naked version would solve this problem.
I have also heard a matte screen protector helps.
Really nice and short Review, i just got all the info i wanted in 4min, thank you!

can't that be added as a mod ? anyway, with a paddock stand you can do all that, except you'd always have to do it at home, still not bad
I think that the CB riding position is more comfortable but another hand I like to have firing, so on road speeds, it guides air rather past you.
Finally I choose the ktm 790 duke, but anyway answer to Honda is always yes
