2020 Honda CBR650R - Quick Tips for New Riders or Riders New to the Honda CBR by Chris 

When disconnecting, should you disconnect the negative first?

@Lee C: it surprised me too

Glad it helped! Let us know if there is anything else specific you would like us to cover. Whenever we have some down time we try to film a quick video, if you have any ideas we can start working on them!

RIP? Rest in peace? 🧐

@@markfox1545 cause he said check within first couple miles. I didn't check for a whole season.

@@jeffbrownme2 was it ok? Lol

The original tires are useless anyway..

It’s a little white lie to stop people draining their battery. Bike batteries have very little capacity to them, if you kill the bike with the switch and leave the electronics on sitting in your garage, it’ll be dead in a couple hours.

@@hamishtaylor1337 aha, oke thanks for clearing this up ! So it does no harm to use the kill switch, just dont forget to turn it back on, and shut the bike off with the key.

The MSF Basic Rider Course teaches "thumb key", every time you turn it off. Kill switch, then ignition. I bet the manual of every bike probably says the same somewhere deep in it.

Man, this is the Supersports more friendly touring you can have nowadays. Maybe you should search a bike for that use specifically

🙂 you know there’s an alternative for your search: CB 650R….

Our Power Equipment / ATV / Bike department has been super busy since early winter... if we can find some time we will try to get more of these types of videos out. Thanks for your comment!

You need to have some experience imo. If you've never rode a bike, no. At least borrow a bike (around 250cc or below) for 100 miles/150km, before buying this. If HEFTY experience with moped or any dirt bikes, then you can get away with it.

Go for it man, I got it with 0 experience on 2 wheels, but I took it easy and now everything its ok, I'm confortable with it.. is not as wild as they say

It honestly depends how naturally skilled your coordination is/athletic you are. It's basically like learning a sport. If you are good at riding bicycles, have good balance and hand eye coordination and a good feel for your body location in space, learning on a bike like this is no problem. If you are someone that doesn't have experience doing intense physical and mental activitiesthat require coordination and focus, and are just getting into this type of activity for the first time, this bike will definitely be too much for you. I'd recommend a 300 if that is where you are at. Otherwise, this bike is very easy to ride

My first street bike and it was great for me. Not gonna scare you or surprise u with power or torque but it can go fast fairly quick.

@@spartanwarmc3288 depends on the person too. If you're naturally cautious and not inclined to try and rip on it straight away, then you'll be okay with it as a complete beginner. Also depends on what level of training you're getting if any. Now on the other hand if you want to go fast straight away and you're doing no training, then this bike might just kill you.
