Was one day from buying a new 2020 for a decent discount before i saw this video. Didn't realize the 2021 was updated and i managed to find one for around the same price as the 2020. This video saved me

Awesome video as usual Dan. Love my CB650R as well and I watched your videos many times over before buying it. I agree it’s great that they’re listening to their customers but also keeping the current owners happy that the updates are not too significant. Let us know what you have in plans for your next mod? Ie steering damper, monoshock, lightweight rims etc.

@samerr.9081 3 года назад

Dan, it’s interesting you imply that you’d upgrade had the changes been more significant, especially after all the other bikes you’ve been reviewing. I too “settled” into my cb650r and like it enough that I can’t seem to identify a “next” bike. This is actually bothering me because I always like to have a potential next bike. For reference I had an mt07 before the cb650r and other bikes prior; the cb650r has been my best all rounder according to my riding style and is keeping me very satisfied. Cheers.

Some of the new Honda's coming through, have the USB-C connection on the side of the instrument panel; as with the Africa Twin and the new CB350. I would have preferred this, along with Apple & Android connectivity, as per the new Forza 750; which is about to be released. I also suspect, that this new Euro 5 compliant engine from the Forza, will find its way into an updated NC750X too.

@johnDukemaster 3 года назад

No update on the front light? That's the only update needed imo. In tight corners there's a dark spot on the road. The forest is well lit up and just in front of the wheel likewise together with the ditches. Some have complaints about the seat, I find it perfect! I like the coloured front mudguard. And yes, it must be difficult to improve this bike. Done 27 000km on my -19 and it's sooo goood!

@Englishbikerdan 3 года назад

No changes to the light as far as I know. It's not great at night and suffers the same issue as most of these middleweight naked bikes with the single headlight. That said, I still love the thing and it always puts a smile on my face.

@North_Of_Nowhere 3 года назад

I had the original CBR650F and absolutely loved it, i rode it by the scruff of its neck and not once did it ever let me down, it was also one of the best ever sounding bikes with that akra imo, really did everything you could ask for, only issue i had was false neutrals but i think that was more age related as it only became an issue the last year of ownership, now i have a 2018 Blade which is just mental i love it to bits and a KTM 390 Adventure which is also fantastic however i do really like the new CB650R and would love to take it for a spin sometime

I just ordered a Red 2020 model and got it £400 cheaper than the 2021 model. The changes seem quite small. Euro 5 stuff is meaningless especially if the pipe is replaced with a different system. If the front forks are too firm I have the option to replace the fork oil to a lighter grade. Handlebar angle? Anyone can change this in a few minutes. I also intend to fit a shade on the screen and fit a dark smokes screen. I reckon that's worth a saving of £400

Yes, but not forgetting the new Triumph Trident coming as competition, so perhaps they've decided to up their game. 🤷. I'd still purchase the Honda!

@Englishbikerdan 3 года назад

Not a fan of the looks of the Trident personally. CB650R has better brakes and maybe now better suspension.

@mrcintheuk5596 3 года назад

@@Englishbikerdan Absolutely, but sadly the competition will be the Triumph badge and Trident name. That's what many people buy these days. Also, friend has Triumph Bobber and just paid £230 for a basic oil and filter change but they did also check there were no loose bolts, etc, so they can justify the cost.

@@mrcintheuk5596 Oh yes, I am sure it'll be a good bike although that will also depend on the price. Triumph's in general are not cheap but they are fantastic to ride! I've just given back their Street Triple RS. What a bike.

As far as modern bikes go (I'm a dinosaur heavily into me Royal Enfield's) this and its 1000cc big brother are the only modern roasters I would consider. Oh....and also a CB1100 or Yamaha xjr1300 in cafe racer spec but they dont really count cause they're "retro" I guess. Enjoy👍

@Englishbikerdan 3 года назад

Cheers, what about the Speed Twin? Right up your alley I think.

@@Englishbikerdan Gone off triumphs. IMHO, overpriced despite being now made in low labour cost countries. I got a RE interceptor AND classic chrome 500 for the price of a low spec Bonnie!

@Englishbikerdan 3 года назад

@@pikebobstar2033 I have to say every Triumph I've ridden so far has been fantastic and the build quality has been much better than some other premium Japanese built brands. I think there's a Triumph in my future for sure, if I can decide which! Never ridden an Interceptor but not really my thing. Enjoy and ride safe. 👍

With the euro 5 can u put a euro 4 on the bike? Cause they don't exist on euro 5 And I saw the specs of 2020 and 2021 and u lost 1 Newton meter and to have all power now you need more 1k rpms before it was at 8500rpm and now full power at 9500rmps maybe we feel more dip at 6k rpm comparing with the 2020 cb650r

Yes you can, it just means it won't be road legal.
