I have a 2016 CBR650f which I bought a month before I passed my bike test. Five years and 25k miles later I still love it and have no plans to sell it.
Still watching this video to the end but wanted to say excellent job on the first ride review. I think you hit lots of good points. I always laugh when people (not you) talk about vibrations. Come ride my Dyna, it vibrates no matter where you at hahahaahha. Good work man.
Hahah. Yeah...I get that. I had a big Yamaha Road Star that shook a good bit. So many people claim I4's vibrate all the time but they should take a ride on a big twin for sure.
Great video Superb bike i have the older model CB650F had it 2 years , fitted heated grips , little screen , hand guards , i think the CB650R will be on my list when the time comes to upgrade , i will consider the new Triumph Trident 660 , but i'm a Honda Best regards Shaun
@@ThrottleBackRubberDown oh but they taste so good!!! FYI I got some of your weather down here in Texas yesterday. About 4” of snow.... all melted now tho. Lol
First things first, that is stunning red paint! :-) Naked bikes are so much fun to ride, and on the road, you rarely need a fairing for wind protection. I think a lot of folk concentrate too much on the bar/pub bragging rights of owning large capacity sportsbikes etc, and are too scared to try the smaller stuff in case they show their inability to make progress. On the road, unless riding like an idiot, there is a lot to be said for bikes in this class! :-)
The flake in that paint is gorgeous. I think that is the perfect bike for just getting out and riding for 1-2 hours for sure. Tons of fun, well balanced, sounds awesome.
That would hurt if you hit the vulture. I hit a small bird once. It hit the windshield first came over the top and hit me in the right chest and shoulder. I was only going about 25 MPH but it hurt a bit. Enjoy the bike.
There are a lot of bikes I would love to ride, but my rotten knees just won't let me sit on them for any length of time, with my legs bent that much on mid or rear sets.
The wind is your friend. That's why we ride. Idk why people buy bikes and install a windshield? Makes no sense, to me at least. Before you know it they will want a stereo and a cup holder, wait, they do that too. 🤔
Windshield is somewhat a need when you wanna go a lil futher is all. I don't like it but its needed... I don't wanna go to bed after a ride and wake up.like I'm still.on the bike if you feel.me ahhaha
@@dualsportdiary1150 but to be honest I have a RKS from a 48 and the difference the nacelle does is crazy!!! I rode like 4 5 times now around 300+ miles and wasn't even tired... But yet again sometimes you wish you had it..haha
@@MRGS48 I think a big factor is age and if you're a glutton for punishment. I'm getting old and wiser, but I'm still a glutton for punishment. I insist on doing things the hard way and causing undue stress and heartache. But I have fun along the way. 😁

Awesome. Great machine for sure.
Excellent review buddy, that vulture hahaha. Nice work and one take!
He was a stubborn one for sure. Glad I didn't hit it...hit a smaller bird one time and it really stung!
Great review! Great shot of the vulture, seems like a great bike. Stay well
Stubborn bird that one!
Throttle Back Rubber Down yup, he wasn't moving until he absolutely had to!
Sorry, I don't know why my responses sometimes double up!
Man that’s a sweet bike I’ve been looking at those super nice great review bud
Thanks for the support. Very well put together bike and sounds great.
I have a 2018 CB650 F and have been very happy with it 👍
Great bike for sure. Wish it was permanently in my garage!
You fixed the intro sound...niiiice. Good video boss
Yeah...somehow the mixing got jacked up on that...thanks for pointing it out!
@@ThrottleBackRubberDown no worries boss.
Honda needs to pay you for this review. I want one now.
Hahaha. I think they made the perfect fun machine...at least in my opinion!

Start bike, get cup of coffee,attach to handle bars wait 1 minute...Instant frappuccino...win win there Chopperfett!!🤣🤣🤣
Hahah. Yeah...I get that. I had a big Yamaha Road Star that shook a good bit. So many people claim I4's vibrate all the time but they should take a ride on a big twin for sure.
😂 It looks small after seeing you on the Beamer! The engine sounded so sweet and smooth. I bet that it easy on the twisted road.
It really has a lovely sound and is so approachable and usable.
Also shared this video on my community page :)
Awesome! Thanks for the support.
Great review, nice bike it sounds good 👍
Thanks. It has a lovely note for sure.
After 5:30 when you started to downshift, I thought you were about to do a wheelie but alas, it really does stay in the pass 😂
Hahaha...yeah...wheelies are not my scene with the exception of some fun power wheelies here in there on the S1000XR.
Good review. Have a nice day
Thanks for the support!
Great video

Honda really does it right. I do love Triumph as well. They have been killing it the last decade.
Great review, great bike for the price, sounds nice when she sings!!
It has a sweet note for sure. Thanks for the support!
looks like it's a fun ride, cheers
Yeah, definitely a great machine. Thanks!
Great review man! Gotta be careful on them nature rides tho brother! Good looking out for them animals!
Yeah...deer are the worst in my opinion...I want nothing to do with them!

That vulture wanted to play chicken. Anyway..... good review, sir.
I was happy he decided not to puke on me as they sometimes will!
Best line she naked lol 👍👍 good review
I love naked gir,,,, uh bikes. Naked bikes, yes.. 😁
Haha. Yes indeed....you should be getting a UPS delivery later this make...I think they told me the 13th or so, keep a look out.
That would hurt if you hit the vulture. I hit a small bird once. It hit the windshield first came over the top and hit me in the right chest and shoulder. I was only going about 25 MPH but it hurt a bit. Enjoy the bike.
For sure. I got hit by a small one one time in my shoulder and it felt like someone threw a baseball into me!
@@ThrottleBackRubberDown Glad we both didn't get seriously hurt.
LMAO!! Old guy with a bad back...That's me LOL.
So true...I think it is many of us...but it won't deter me from riding :)
There are a lot of bikes I would love to ride, but my rotten knees just won't let me sit on them for any length of time, with my legs bent that much on mid or rear sets.
I get it. I am happy my trick back is only so trick currently. Thanks for watching!

That guy was a bit stubborn for sure. I didn't think it would be that close as I didn't exactly accelerate toward him.
