Have mine since August. And rode until now 4500 km. Idk how you have the stock exhaust ? xD I ordered my exhaust before i got the bike wtf. They sound rubish without exhaust
I'm very curious. Does Australia's CB650R have power restrictions due to environmental issues? I am a Taiwanese owner of a 2024 CB650R. Due to environmental regulations, my motorcycle only has 75 horsepower.😅
I did just under 35,000km in one year on my vuclan s. And it was my first year riding XD love it! Doesn't matter how much or little you ride, as long as you do :)
That's a very popular regional road with huge amounts of traffic, so it has to be really clean. I took advantage of the day where there was little of it. But we do have some older back roads in Slovenia that are not being really taken care of as good as this one tho. I watch your videos btw, good stuff :D
Das schöne ist, man kann sie im 4 Gang, bis 200+ fahren , und dann in den 5-6 schalten . Das reicht mir für die Landstraße vollkommen. Mehr will ich , ehrlich gesag, auch nicht 😊. Gruss Amateur 1959. Ich liebe den Sound über alles! Aber sie ist sehr laut, und man muss lernen, auch leise durch Ortschaften zu fahre . Ansonsten macht man es eh nicht lange ! Gruss u Danke.
Hey, I’ve noticed that you keep your index finger on the clutch lever while riding, but when it’s time to shift gears, you still pull the clutch in with your whole hand. It looks a bit unusual to me, since typically I see riders keeping fingers on the brake lever in case they need to stop quickly, but I’m not sure why you’d do this with the clutch. Could you explain the reason behind this technique? I’m curious to understand if it offers any advantages.
Great observation! I noticed this myself a while ago too. To give an honest answer.. I don't really know, it just feels much more natural to me and I feel like I have way more precise control when applying pressure on the bars while counter steering with my index finger extended. I like to pull the clutch with my whole hand because that way I pull faster than with one or two fingers and also have more control over the clutch in general. It's also much easier to reach the clutch with my other fingers when my index finger is already extended. I hope this gives you a bit of an explanation. But yeah I really should learn to keep a finger on the brake most of the timee but I currently don't do so because I lose the feeling for the throttle and rev-matching becomes awkward.
@@MotoMacek I just want to clarify that I’m not criticizing your practice at all, just really curious about the reasoning behind it! I’m a beginner myself and have ridden around 7,000 km on the same bike, but with the e-clutch. From my own experience, I noticed that in my first rides, when I kept my index and middle fingers on the brake lever, they would sometimes go a bit numb from the vibrations on the handlebar. So I stopped doing that unless I really expect to react quickly, like when riding through city traffic. But if I’m on an open road with nothing to react to quickly, I don’t keep my fingers on the brake. And since I have the e-clutch version, I don’t rest my fingers on the clutch at all for obvious reasons. In cold weather with the heated grips on, I definitely don’t want to take my fingers off the bars either. :)
@@DimchanskyLive Dont worry I know it wasnt a critique bro :D Interesting, I never experienced any numbness from the vibrations.. but if I go to the gas station real quick sometimes I dont wear my gloves and then my fingers feel like they could go numb pretty fast yeah
@@MotoMacek Yeah, I always wear gloves, but I use KNOX ORSA OR3, which have pretty thin material on the palm side. Maybe that’s why I feel the vibrations a bit more through them. It’s great for better control and feel, but I guess it comes with that slight trade-off in comfort when it comes to vibrations. Do you usually wear thicker gloves?
@@DimchanskyLive I dont really know if the y are that thick because I only have those so I cant compare.. they are Dainese Carbon 4 Short Gloves. But they took some getting used to in the beginning.. now its weird if I ride without them :)
Really nice, personal experience, and great to hear the breadth of topics covered in one video (like a review but speaking more from personal experience than speculation). Thank you p.s. the spotless crash bars after so many miles - bravo!
Nice vid man, I enjoy these very much, as i'm still in the process of getting my A2 licence. Hopefully i'll be able to grab this bike soon! One question though. Is the disclaimer in the description actually useful ? (about it being AI) Could it actually be used for your defense ? I've seen these disclaimers on most bike videos and I really wonder how effective it would be in defending a case... Thanks, and keep up the chill vids
I tried the CB650R today and instantly fell in love with it. The e-clutch takes some time to get used to, but look is beautiful and the exhaust sounds soooo good, overall an absolute beast.
@@MotoMacek očekivao da radi, jer EU. Ja imam isto cb650r u Srbiji, napravio sam da radi... Treba samo vpn za registraciju. Odlično su odradili, navigacija, telefon i muzika rade savršeno.
I paused the video just to answer your questions: I bought mine in July - model 2022. I drove 4300 km. Just I dint have a lot of time. For the exhaust - only and only Akrapovic. And for a compromise - CS Racing, looking pretty good!!! Still saving money for Akrapovic... I keep watching! ;)
I commute on my XSR and it's kinda cold like 9C in the morning but leather jacket and reminder that rubber is not sticking in cold like it should on warm days. I will ride as long as I can and honestly riding at like 15 - 20C is so nice even on nakeds
I got a cbr500r used for a first bike and it’s plenty for me. Our learner course here had 250cc adventure style bikes with off road tires. I found the 500 ride height was appropriate. The weight was a lot, but after a couple months I got used to it a fair bit. The power 0-60 is awesome, but I think I’d get this next. I want the 4cyl sounds.
Thank you for taking time to review and share your experience with us, i'm getting the E-CB650r soon wanna know if you had to buy this bike again? or u'll go with Z900 or mt-09 since its in the same budget range..
Now with my experience level I'd probably go for something stronger like the MT09 or the XSR900. But if I were at the same experience level again as last year I'd get the CB650R again in a hearbeat. It really is a great bike and I have zero regrets.
Hi! Thanks you so much for you very good vidéo test. Im French I live in France and I hesitate about buy this bike. Im a Little tall 1m86 and I dont know if its a problem to drive with this bike. Its for driving everyday everytime in the Year to go at job. Summer or winter, Im going to drive every week every day. You think its good choice ? Thanks you again !
Thank you. Like I said in the video im 194cm tall and have no problems on longer rides. Yes as a daily commuter to work kind of bike this is a good choice. It's very easy to ride in traffic at low speeds.
The bike is vibrating a lot because you’re keeping the revs high by holding the bike in 2nd or 3rd gear for prolonged periods of your ride, when you should be in 5th or 6th. I would only go down to 2nd for a hairpin bend or small roundabout!
For my taste it lacks the power down low in order to use 5th or 6th gear frequently, it's perhaps the only reason why I'd exchange it for something bigger.
I was test driving twice CBR650R and twice GSX-8R. For me suzuki have better meterial quality then honda. I could see way more marks at the cbr650r at the plastics and stuff.
Because I'm a beginner and wanted my first bike to be a normal clutch bike so I can learn the traditional way. I know myself enough that I'd just bang the gears up and down with the E-Clutch because it's easier.
Not sure why you drive so high rpms while normal driving without some significant acceleration You can even keep it around 3k. Fuel consumption gonna be way lower.
