@@charliieandrew3458 mine doesn’t have the Db killer in…I’m not sure you will get the fireballs with any restriction on the exhaust I could be wrong though
The CBR650R with the new e-clutch will be an amazing motorcycle and a game changer for those who ride a lot in traffic. CBR660R=96 HP ZX-4RR=76 HP with flash. Both bikes like to rev out and they both sound great with aftermarket exhausts. Here in Canada the ZX-4RR 40th anniversary costs $12,500 🤯🤮😳 while the CB650R costs $11,200. Definitely the ZX-4RR is really overpriced for a 400cc motorcycle. Not sure yet which one I'm going to choose as my first sport motorcycle.
This fool thinks the bike is slow because he can top it out in a straight line lol You're the type of dude who gets smoked on a track day by ninja 400s. Humble yourself and learn all techniques. Better yet go to a track, and you will see how slow you actually are.
For iPhone users (not sure about Android) I found the audio like a few have commented not working properly when using headphones I found out it was a setting on the phone that needs changed Under settings/ accessibility/ audio visual make sure the Headphone Accommodations is on and the mono audio tab is toggled on …hope that helps Worked for me 🤙🏻
Mines all stock, had it for a year. Have almost 12k on it. Love it. I’m under no illusions, I know it’s not fast. It will never be fast just quick. It’s definitely fast enough to decimate traffic in stock form and extremely fast enough once you get in the twistys.
@@pandemonikussuperbus4590 In restricted stock form, it’s not going much faster than 193kph, I’ve tested that. If it goes faster, it’s going to take a while to get there. It doesn’t have rip your arms off speed like a 1000 and you’ll never drop a gear and go. A 600 should be much faster. But if the road is twisty and doesn’t have much straights, it’s fast enough that I don’t get left behind my buddies V4RS.
@@The_adventures_of_E american restrictions....got it.well here in europe if you put a descent filter a full exhaust and a reflashed ecu it can reach a speed of 250 to 260 km.that pretty good
It’s not bad no, but bc I had the old zx4rr dyno tuned it’s definitely slow to me That will change soon though It’s still an awesome bike for anyone wanting to learn on
I've had mine for about 8 months and still just love it. Riding it is so addictive. Still stock except for the pipe. I'll be sending in the proccesor to get it flashed this coming winter.
100% have the ECU tuned, wakes the ZX4RR so much along with a full flowing exhaust. Im running against A group riders on liter bikes at Buttonwillow, the ZX4 holds up well on tight tracks with a couple straight lines! Havent had this much fun since my Daytona 675. Super flickable
@@christophertrueman6701come to find out it is a setting with the iPhone I had the same issue with sound listening with headphones To fix this I went under settings/accessibility/audio visual Make sure Headphone Accommodations are on and the mono audio is toggled also See if that works for you Did for me 🤙🏻
The cbr650r is up a little on power but quite a bit heavier also 15-25 lbs depending on if you get the ABS model My bike dyno’d at 78 hp to the rear wheel and I’m sure given the %lost from the claimed Hp from Honda will put the bikes very close Taking that into consideration alone I would choose the Zx4rr
@@MehmetFES Keep in mind the price tho, if you're a starter i'd get a cbr500r, since the zx4rr is in the 600cc price range. Otherwise in my opinion i'd get the 650r considering the power and it's not too heavy.
Too much entry speed. How anyone in the comments can say it was target fixation, I don’t know. We can’t see where he is looking. Glad you’re ok though dude.
No expert here but those parked bikes were a huge distraction. My first thought watching the video (before you got to the curve) was why all the bikes? Why would anybody park there? A distraction like that could cause a second or two of delay turning in causing you to go wide. (It also looked like there was some sand or trash on the road?) Five years of riding is definitely not novice. Objectively it was an accident but with extenuating circumstances. I'm guessing you've replayed this 100 times in your mind. Thanks for posting this.
@@dantimber I can see your reasoning behind the riders parked there taking a break for whatever reason However there are camera crews sporadically on the dragon as well with tents and their vehicles. I never had the thought of “crap why are they there”?! I may have turned in a little late which is why I caught the post on the ground, bc I had to lean the bike over further to make the corner. I don’t feel had that not dug in and lifted my rear tire that I would have crashed.
Hey it's Big E, old local on the dragon, ride with Antprilia. Best thing I was taught when I was trying to drag a knee etc back 25 years ago was to stop trying so hard. If you just start moving your head low, forward and toward the mirror that you are leaning into then you will see that just doing that with your upper body keeps the bike stable and keeps you from upsetting the bike with your lower body. Practice that for a few weeks, then slowly do what I just told you but start hanging just a half a butt cheek off. Do that for a few weeks then little by little move more of your butt off the seat while puting your head towards that mirror while looking through the turn! Try it! I promise you it will come to you! Good luck, be safe!
@@Yesitsqk Oh and keep your speed reasonable, don't push your speed, just practice moving your head forward and over until it starts to feel comfortable. Us fast guys started off low and slow just like everybody else LOL. Remember slow is smooth and smooth is fast, in that order! Baby steps!!! One more thing that is very crucial, work on throttle control, that is what keeps the bike stable mid corner, too much or too little upsets the bike! keep it steady and smooth! If you see me up there then chase me down, stop me, wave me down! I'll work with you and get your confidence back! Also I have a new 2023 Yamaha MT-09 SP that I ride a lot too especially when JR is on his Husky 701 motard.
@@Yesitsqk Oh we will do more than meet, give you some pointers and then we can go ride, go a easy pace and apply the techniques that you learn. You will be riding way better in minutes. Oh and let me take a look at your suspension, make sure it's set up right. I am a suspension guy, a few clickers off and that can really throw you off coming in or out of a corner. We ride these expensive bikes because the suspension is top notch and works for us, not against us LOL.
Too bad they didn’t make them a little bit faster. My Yamaha r7 is a lot faster than mine. I’ve got it tuned by some of the best. I’ve got nice exhaust. The problem is he’s got power everywhere all the time so if you want to keep the Kawasaki wound up all the time what you really can’t do unless you’re on a race track, what she still pulls me out of the corners too
You’re talking about almost double the CCs on the Yamaha r7 ….yeah the revs gotta be up on the zx4rr but that’s where that bike was built to run …I love it
Your point of you don't have parking lots near you is dumb, if you are near the tail then theres tons of places you can go to for sure. Spend a day looking around, search around google maps use street view. You might have to ride 20 minutes or more to get there but that option is there if you want it. You also saying you don't want to practice because you don't want to drop the bike is also dumb to me, you just said you slid it at the tail! You are telling me you would rather risk it on the road than get comfortable in a safe spot? Wrecks happen all the time, would you rather have fairing damage or would you rather have fairing damage plus the risk of bodily damage and binning the bike from slamming into something? I love the backroads. Tons of fun. Please do not make the public roads the first place you test your limits, riding is dangerous enough.
