    Wife has a Ninja 650, I have a CBR650F.
    Engine in the Honda is much sportier feeling and the bike feels very planted at speed. Downsides are its a bit heavier and in traffic you need to give it some revs or risk stalling.
    Ninja 650 is lower seat height, lighter, all the controls feel lighter and its easier to ride around in the city. Engine is rough in sound and power delivery is a bit jerky, and very on/off at slower speeds, but you do have low down torque so you can pull away just with the clutch. Wouldnt bother with an exhaust on the ninja as its just gonna make a bad sounding engine louder. Akra on the honda makes it sound amazing.
    Honda suspension is also firmer and better damped than Ninja, Ninja dives quite a lot under braking but overall more comfortable as a commuter and easier to handle in town.
    The Honda is a bit more aggressive/sporty posture and the CBR650R has been made more aggresive still (but neither are full sports bike).
    I bought the Honda for the engine - inline 4s sound amazing, power delivery is super smooth and they rev much higher. Was disappointed by the Ninja the first time I rode it, the bike looks great but the engine is like a tractors.

    Both great bikes, but also very different engine types, 2 cylinder vs 4. Cool comparison, thanks. Really nice presentation as usual. On my '21 Ninja 650, I can get just over 200 miles from a full 4 gallon tank till .2 left, with average freeway/backroads riding each time, which is really good for a 419 lb. (with fuel) non-abs version bike. I've seen reports of 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, but top speed is about 126 mph, 131 maybe down a long hill. It hits 100 fast, but 120 takes over 10+ seconds to reach I'd say. Really fun bike, and the TFT display is nice too.

    Better off getting a clean 2nd hand model of either one of these. They both are super cheap. The CBR F4i is just as much as if not more capable than the current 650. Just no electronic tech. Take the saved cash and put it into performance mods. And if its the Ninja 650 your after which is more beginner friendly, the motor hasn't changed. Used can be found DIRT cheap. Perfect beginner bike. The only thing your paying for is basically the modern looks. The older are less restrictions, easier to free up extra power, etc. After 25yrs of riding on the street/track i promise you your not missing out on any performance with the older ones. My S1000RR which is one of my current bikes, i dont even use or need most of those electronics. For the F4i theres so many aftermarket upgrades but all you really need is a end can, race air filter and fuel controller. Youll smoke that 650 and be more comfortable doing it.
