2018 Honda CB650F Review 

I am a learner rider and I got the cb650 instead of the parallel twin competitors specifically because the inline four requires more deliberate revving to open up the power. Easier to manage throttle control and not surprise myself with lots of power, but still access it if I need to.

That intro edit was sick

I love being able to zoom to fill on my phone and it doesn't cut anything off, but actually FILLS the screen 👍 good shit guys

I have it. It is an amazing bike!

It's a nice looking bike and nice review.

I have the same one as the video. This bike has a surprisingly usable mid range but it really comes alive up top. Plenty of power to be very very naughty on the road. The suspension is also good, especially the front, feedback inspiring confidence and being stable and flickable at the same time. It's a great overall package.

How tall are you bro? Good review 👍👍

I just love it.

I ride the CBR650. Same bike with a bit more faring and slightly different bars. If you have proper control of your seating position using knee pressure and core muscles to prevent your butt from sliding around, it is nigh impossible to knock your jewels on the tank as mentioned from 3:20 . If you sit this thing like a mobility scooter you really deserve those knocks, bro.

Was the city ride in Bucharest?

Me parece a mí pero a decir del "Tester" la 650 tiene más contras que a favor??.... Gracias por las imágenes

Picking my cb650f up today. Excited is one word, but probably not strong enough.

correct me if wrong, but this engine was changed from a screamer i4 to work\timed like 2 * i2 , as you can hear it purrs more than screams, so it has more linear torque curve than the classic screamer i4 where u must revv it to use it's power & torque

How tall are You? Awesome Video!

Nice review thanks! I'm looking at either an MT-07 or the CB650F as my first bike. I was pretty sold on the MT but seems like this might be more comfortable for a tall rider (I'm 6'4") and a little safer for a newbie on the throttle response.

name of the jacket?

Urmează să-mi achizitionez si eu o Honda CB 650 F luna viitoare, are careva dintre voi!?....sa-mi spuna si mie niste pareri?

Why the displacement of CB650 is 471cc?

Great review, tho the way you speak reminds me of Borat :-))

Keep your hands on the bars!

I rode one yesterday, for a lams bike it goes more than enough for me. I thought the torque was amazing and the high end was magic. At first it made me think it needed another gear.

Not once do i see you take this thing to the powerband, this thing dominates the 650class when you let the engine stretch. It punches way above its weight, and its evident in tracktimes. Some brazilian bike show tested it against the MT-07 and z650. The CB was over 3 seconds quicker. No contest to be honest.

Please do the MT07 and Z650 comparison video with this bike!!

Want this in India

Good first review. (or not first?) The bike looks good and I love the fact that someone still makes lightweight inline 4s, but I just don't think it compares well to the Z650 or MT-07 in terms of punch and fun.

I swear it looks like a big grom

👍👍👍👍👍👍

IMO the Hornet this replaced was better in every conceivable way. And if not better, more suitable for the job definitely

Inline 4 the win bois

It's really good looking bike but I really dont like the gauge so disappointing.

0:38 name of the soundtrack please?

I've had mine just shy of a year now. It is a lovely little bike, but I have some observations 1. Keeping your pipes shiny is a never-ending battle and the top of the pipes by the cylinder head are incredibly hard to get access to. Leave a lot of time to do the pipes, and keep doing it regularly or the metal will be unsalvageable. 2. The plastic is cheap. I've had to replace my indicators because they cracked and the plastic around my dials is no longer clipping together - this drives me nuts. Saying this, the plastic on the tank has no problems. 3. some nuts and bolts need to be tightened from the factory, ive lost a few because of this. 4. Very thirsty bike. Sometimes I only get 100 miles a tank. Despite the aforementioned problems though, I'm still happy with the bike.

You can hear the Honda quality

How many KMs out of that 17-litre tank?

Doesnt it also compete with the SV650?

Which is better MT 07 or Honda CB650F ?

Why would you mention the wind protecting on a naked bike....

Cb650f or z650? Who is the best?

whats the F stand for in cb650f and R in cb650r. Does 2018 have cb650r?

fain in bucuresti

How tall are you? I'm 6ft 5 and wondering if it'll fit me

Wish Honda would bore it out to 750cc and put nearer to 100 horses at the real wheel.

So what you're saying is its boring.

CB stands for Commute Bike

Aevrez kitana he

I'm choosing my first bike and I'm 6'3 ft tall. I would be really thankful if you could tell your height and advice if it would be comfortable for a tall guy like me. Thanks in advance

Go with the Triumph Street Triple. It weights around 30kg less and with 3 cylinders you get the best from the 2 worlds.

What's your definition of "having fun in the city"? Riding like a complete maniac?

looks too small, need something like b-king size

I prefer it over the 650R any day

here's my two cents!!! I've had a Yamaha 750 xs, and a Honda CB 750 Nighthawk, to answer your question, why buy Honda. It has never left me stranded in all the years I've had it, where as the Yamaha was a constant pain in the neck.

i'm going to guess this is a popular bike ?

I’m the first one

Yet another fellow European speakinng English with a thick American accent.

CB stands for Cross beam.

why would u ever buy a 650cc with 4 cyl? soooo boring to ride compared to the 1-2 cylinder 650s. 690 duke and mt07 are much better.

when a new honda model comes out i dont like it. it looks boring .when i see it again after 5 years then i see what honda had in mind . honda models are made to be classic not ''jaw dropping ''

Borat

Have you passed your riding test? who dangles their leg out on a bike like a frightened child learning how to ride a bicycle? and please don't say Valentino Rossi, this is the road not a racetrack.

650+1

2:21 just how many hornids have you ridden in your life? and also, just what tf is a hornid?

You mean Jerky throttle

You speak so funny

Decent bike but very ugly transformer looks!

Needs more better back seat for my wife.

Same suspension, same display, same collector pipes, same seat...oh they put the front light of rhe CB500F (wich I have), a new slip-on exhaust and to plastics as "aerodynamic" fenders (sarcasm)....so ktm, triumph, bmw and even yamaha are doing better in my opinion. Honda waste time on expensive "neo retro" models as the cb125r and cb300r wich sucks. There's nothing of old Hornet spirit on this machine. Today I'm disappointed with my bike brand and if you ask me I wouldn't buy it again.

Thw way you speak makes me angry

Honda is the worst bike ever 🤦‍♂️
