Just curious why you didn't opt for the e-clutch? From all the reviews I've seen, everyone says the e-clutch is a brilliant system, and a game changer. I definitely plan on going with the E-clutch on my 2025 cb650r. I would have bought a 2024 but Canada didn't get that year. Enjoy and ride safe.
@@motospidey I have a friend of mine who - as an absolute beginner - strated with a new GS1250R Adventure. So it is not impossible to learn riding bikes on big ones. Learning to fly normally starts with gliders not jet fighters. We all are dreaming about jet fighters .. and nobody stop us when we buy bigger bikes first than ideally would be. Please please be very smart. You are riding a jet! You know about 5-15 % what this beast knows. Take care mate! Keep allways safe space away from cars. Safe space means 10 meters. Build up your confidence on long and patient experience, not on "ego". Leave time for your sensors and body to learn riding. Your conscious brain will not be fast enough in emergency situation to react. These happens in 0.5 sec - so leave time for your body to learn, then your muscles will react in case of need without knowing what happen. Sorry, I am a "teacher type"! 🙂
The bike looks lovely up to the ne TFT screen - compared to the outgoing model, this looks like a damn ipad has been mounted to the front and just ruins the compact design lines by jutting up like that.
For me personally the new TFT screen looks much better as the older one. You have more information on the hand. I wish you could also use Google maps, because the Honda Road Sync isn’t that accurate.
@@Morgan1367 the last few months the weather in Germany is also kind of tricky. One time it’s sunny the next raining. Wish you lots of fun with the bike and stay safe, don’t get too many speeding tickets 😃
This is the bike im looking to get for my first bike. I think you're right when you talk about a naked style being better for a first bike. I was looking at the cbr650r, but I'll be doing lessons and tests here in the UK on a cb650r, so it'll be a good bike to start on imo.
The CB650R is a nice choice for a beginner. The only downside I found so far are the loud injectors. I mean you could really hear them especially when a car passes nearby and you get that crazy echo from your bike back. I would suggest you test drive some bikes out there and not just buy one because you want one. Quality wise the bike is very well build apart from that Honda cheaped out on the air vent ducts. They offer Aluminium covers for 150€ on top…
@motospidey yeah the air vents look better on the older model, I think. I will definitely test ride a few bikes, but I can't think of what else actually competes with the CB650R. For built quality, style and price I don't know of anything else?
Wann hast du den von deinem Dealer bekommen? Meiner steckt seit 2 Monaten in Italien fest, da es irgend ein Problem mit einem Steuergerät bei allen CB650R und weitere Modelle gibt :/ Tolles Bike!
Das mit dem Steuergerät habe ich nicht mitbekommen. Ich habe mein Motorrad im Mai gekauft. Da ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch keinen Führerschein hatte, habe ich das Bike erst im Juni beim Händler abgeholt.
@@motospidey Ah ist wohl die erste charge gewesen. Wirst wohl zu einem späterem zeitpunkt ebenfalls deinen Austauschen müssen. Bei einigen habe anscheinend das blinken nicht funktioniert.
@@LazyLeftEye1 Bei mir funktioniert bis jetzt alles einwandfrei. Ich habe bei Honda nach Rückrufaktionen nachgeschaut, und bis jetzt sieht alles sauber aus. Ich hoffe, dass es auch so bleibt.
@@motospidey Ja, gibt noch keine Rückrufaktion. Hatten auch nur wenige Motorräder dieses Problem aber Honda hat halt Japaner-mässig alle Auslieferungen gestoppt :(. Allein in der Schweiz sind 800 Motorräder nicht ausgeliefert worden ..
@@LazyLeftEye1 Ganz schon komisch dass ich keine Informationen irgendwo online finde. Ich lasse mich überraschen. Hoffe das mein Bike nicht davon betroffen ist..
@@motospidey what height are you? Im 6 foot. Thinking about buying one of these but im not sure if they'll be too small. Seat height doesn't look very big. Lovely bike though!
@@AlanOliver20I’m 5.7 and had the bike lowered so I can feel more safer on it. I guess it would be smart to go to the dealer and have a look for yourself.
Damn, Honda just went and slapped an Ipad on the front huh? TFT screen may be better on paper but, aesthetically, the previous gen looks better no competition.
new tft is good in sunny day. The old one was not good at all. There is alot of features in the tft like navigation, spotify contol etc, maintenance info, driving info
Till now I only get sometimes false neutral wenn I shift from first to second gear and that’s because I don’t slam enough on the shifter. I found out that preloading the shifter makes the gear changes somehow faster and smoother.
@@motospidey I see… so the new model still has this “issue”.. Anyways I saw in youtube some owners will install the shift stabilizer and they no longer get the false neutrals after.
Dream bike! 🥰 I started on a hornet 600 and still learning the bike, like you.😅 Sometimes, it's difficult to handle a 600 on tricky roads as a beginner. Hopefully in the late future I am going to upgrade in this beautiful bike. Hope you enjoy it 😆
Yea 600 cc isn’t quite a beginner bike. The more you ride the better you get. I enjoy every second on the bike. I still have some doubts in the corners but I’ll get there.
@@RevolutionRoad Man what are you talking about. It is what it is now. Bikes evolve so does the aid. Before there was no automatic in cars, now there are. 90% of the people want to commute with their vehicle not doing laps in a race. ABS is helping a lot of drivers around the world, to tell a newbie to turn off all aids is simply retarded..
This is the best looking naked bike. Very classy and yet agressive. If you wanted to, you could have bought the new suzuki gsx8r which has fairings but still has that upright position you mentioned. Only thing it has more torque but you could have that limited until you're more comfortable. The inline4 that you're on without the eclutch will make you a better rider instead of depending on the eclutch. The other thing is most of your bike's power is at the top of the rev range so low speed in traffic for example you should be pretty ok to maneuver as well. Stay safe and enjoy the bike man i love it and would personally start on this or a mt07
The MT07 is also a very good looking bike. Most of other bikes with 2 cylinders have more torque than the Honda one. However for a beginner like me, the 65Nm is also kinda of enough for everyday occasions. Will definitely enjoy the bike, thanks.
@@motospidey this bike has very predictable power delivery, feels more grounded and stable cornering than mt07 and overall nice to start on, after your first oil change you will get to see other side of rpm range and stay there on open roads, i have previous 2019 model and i like new improved screen, I considered xsr 700 before buying honda but could not find good deal at the time so next one will be xsr900, stay safe😀
@@lmmorris12345The XSR900 is a beast. The older Honda CB‘s look really nice as well. I was considering buying a used one but the screen design wasn’t all that great..
Ich habe letztes Jahr angefangen mit Motorrad fahren und mit jeder Fahrt lerne ich immer dazu. Habe mir die Honda cb 750 Hornet gekauft und bin auch sehr glücklich damit. Wünsche dir gute Fahrt und viel Spass✌🏻
Awesome! Did you had stains on your tubes or problems with the blocks when you cleaned it? Btw whats the name of that temperature gadget to measure the degrees on your loop? Thanks!
Hey, had no stains or anything like that. Everything looks clean after a flash with distilled water. The temperature sensor is a Bitspower Touchaqua Temperature sensor.
Holding up pretty well, I guess. I’ll be changing it soon, as a maintenance since it’s recommended. Hopefully there’ll be no stains in the loop. Overall I’ve been pretty happy with the look of it so far. It’s looking pretty with any RGB color you prefer. I’ve had static colors, rainbow colors and all look fantastic.
