Honda CB650R (2023) | Let's Ride 

This has to be one of the best looking middle weights on the market today, and the sound is pretty great too, Ive been looking around the market but just keep coming back to this bike.

I LOVE the headlight. I hate the insect looking front ends on most sport bikes.

The tires with the white lettering match the rest of the bike perfectly

Nice! You can't go wrong with a Honda. I have my 2007 Hornet for the last 8 years. Never had an issue. Just regular maintenance and that's it.

“Honda is pretty reliable” - Biggest understatement ever. Hondas are very hard to break 😎🏍

Just adding my 2 cents on the clutchless shifting. It’s the only way I shift these days, and you can do it with pretty much any old bike. If it doesn’t shift, you probably aren’t shutting the throttle quick enough to shift. What you could do is imagine the action of a quick shifter. All a quick shifter does is detects the gear lever movement and essentially shuts the throttle for you, and it does that quick to successfully work. Hope that helps 😊

The headlight is one of the best looking parts of the bike

That clutchless upshifting was painful. The best way is, under heavy acceleration at higher RPM's, have your foot under the gear lever and apply a little pressure upwards as if you were upshifting, then just momentarily let off the gas (like you would do when shifting with a clutch) and it'll slip right in

For those who want to try to change gear without the clutch, my advice is to place your foot LIGHTLY on the gear lever until you feel that it doesn't move anymore, at which point you leave the throttle, the gear will enter by itself and give some throttle to ensure the gear fully engaged. For the first few times, I recommend keeping your foot very lightly on the gear lever, and then slowly increasing until you actually manage to change gear. This method works both for upshifting and downshifting (when downshifting it's a bit more complex, you have to give a little throttle first, put your foot on the gear lever and then let go of the throttle), but I don't recommend doing it when downshifting, also when you upshift it's best to do it when accelerating at high revs.

I like the headlight tbh. The whole bike looks pretty sick! Fun ride. Would love to see some urban exploration with friends and funny moments! Perhaps Groms?😂😂

I owned a CB650R for nearly 6 months now and it's still good, just need a little bit more torque and less weight is perfect 🔥

So cool seeing you ride around the areas I live, hope you're doing well dude! Thanks for the vids, subscribed :)

mate you need to do a lets ride on the zx-10r ;)

Love from France, bé carreful on the road

2:36what a nice sounds🔥

Who doesnt use the clutch... oh yeah its not his bike lmao

hey, can I know what equipments do you have? (helmet, gloves etc) Thanks and really nice video!

Ahhh , the sound . And your funny commentary . 😂😂makes this a great POV . I'm rejuvenated with my love for bikes this month , Somehow I lost it 4 years back and sold my bike. It was a Yamaha R3. And now I've been watching ride POVs , drove a royal enfield Interceptor this week due to a situation . And my love is back ! This CB650R looks damn sick !!!!

Hopefully, Honda will redesign the CB750 Hornet to look like the CB650R in this video because the current Hornet design looks bland and uninspired.

Got one, and i love the look of the headlights, its a cafe racer

That´s a true Hornet, not a "CB"

Been nothing but shit weather all week, really miss riding mine. Its a shame to see australia choking your bikes like that, this thing goes pretty hard for a 650

If you want a quick shifter, get a quick shifter. "Clutchless" is one of the best ways to bend a shift fork.

the shifting part of the video I can give a bit of explanation, Its commonly known as "Bump Shifting" Doesn't hurt the gearbox unless you do it wrong by not applying enough pressure in the upshift its exactly like in a Race cars sequential gearbox your just slamming it into gear as the gears in the box mesh its not ideal but its fairly safe to do so you will wear your transmission out a little faster from doing so

So clean 🥵🥵 Need to let you ride my WR450F!!

You changed my mind bro, I think I will get this rather than the MT07 but I still wanna test ride both before making the purchase. This will be my second bike coming from a Lexmoto Adrenaline 125 years ago.

which country is that? Australia?

The ADHD-moments during commentary is gold 😄

Still debating between this and the trident 660 not sure yet though

i LOVE this bike

what microphone do you use? and where do you place it to avoid feeling the wind?

the last chance to drive a 4-cylinder in the middle class.

really love the look of this bike but could never buy one in australia giving how shit the laws are with derestricting a lams bike. they need to do a high output trim like yamaha does, otherwise its legally "bricked" once you derestrict

Cb650r looks good it's pretty quick 95hp and sounds amazing DONT SLEEP BIKES SICK MAN

What microphone do you have and where do you keep it to avoid the sound of the wind? is the cb650r the 2023 last model?

Looking for a daily commuter, and got a choice between this or a kawasaki z900, hard to decide

Man, I love those headers on the CB600R's. So sick

Taste of design is subjective, and I certainly don't agree with you regarding the criticism of the design of the headlight and turn signals.

Dayum never been a massive naked fan but this thing is mean looking

What camera was he using. That looks great

isnt your feet very close to the exhaust? Any issues occured with that yet?

Love from Bangladesh ❤

It is interesting to me that you so love the black color. Black is my least favorite.

Is your front wheel leaving the ground, or are you leaning forward during the shifts? I’ve never had a bike this big, but I’m curious about it.

Best looking CB650R so far 🤌

How u know his riding not in America? Cause there no flags on the road

How tall are you? I was told by 2 friends (both around 185cm) that the bike feels a little too small.

I like the sound

I knew I recognised the roads. I've been riding around there for my accompanied rides!

Actually sound decent. I do prefer the sound of the parallel-twin cylinder with crossplane crankshaft from the MT07, but damn.

Pretty sure i know that airfield

Lollll I literally rode this bike today! Funny that you posted a vid about that bike now 😂

i love the round head light i haVE A HORNET ATM but looking at getting the cb650 or mt 07 or mt09

Ur problem is that you don’t know how to quick shift. The operative word is “quick” when you’re off throttle.

Not brand new anymore, we have cbr650r 2024 with new button and colorful screen

I absolutely love my 23 Cb1000r! My favorite bike I have owned, she’s a torque monster!

Smooth clutchless shifts are all about changing gear the moment the chain slackens. While accelerating, apply a little upward pressure to the gearshift, preloading it, then when you momentarily back off the throttle-slackening the chain, the transmission should shift up smoothly-with a little practice. To downshift, while decelerating apply a little downward pressure to the top of the gearshift and blip the throttle. The transmission should change down smoothly, with a little practice.

My wife has the '23 CB650R and she loves it, great bike! I got the Rebel 1100 for more of a cruiser/naked hybrid and I love it. As a side note; it's really weird looking at the scenery here, being from the UK, the gray skies, industrial park, roads and signage look very similar to what I grew up with, but then you have palm trees!

Excellent vdo! Wonderful. Just what I wanted to see in terms of performance and handling. Your comments and feedback are a great guide. And what can I say about the sound...Wow! Thank you!

Que le jodan al rodaje supongo

That is not how you shift without the clutch. You’re damaging his transmission already.

Miles x hour o Km x Hour

Archerfield airfield?

power reduced ECU ?

wow love it 🤩

Nice to see you speeding on your mates bike, glad you didn’t get into trouble. He’d be livid.

I know what I want!

❤️

The only real con on these is the lack of a balance shaft. Sit on an R6 or Fazer 600 after riding this, start the engine, and see if you can tell the difference. Not a big deal on a short ride, but after 6 hours you just want it to stop 😂

hi mate, what about 1,65meters guys/woman, I'm kinda short, what you think is it fine for short ppl too? my dad always had Honda unfortunatly is not with us anymore so I wish to take an honda like he did at hes time

Absolute beauty, but how did your friend get it in all black like that? Stock comes with silver attachments.

I got mine about three months ago and it’s a pleasure to ride. You probably can’t beat the Honda.

You don’t have to let off the throttle to upshift.. should be wide open and shift up confidently

I miss my CB650R, stolen a few months ago sadly

I can't find the black 650cc edition in the US. :(

Bro you live near me, Oxley. Where did you get your akro exhaust done at? I have the same bike.

Why aren't you revving it up all the way...???

is that mph or km/h? Because if it's mph I'm shocked.

Must be a good friend to let you rag the shit out of his new bike. 🙇🏼‍♂️

what's the brand of your gloves?

I got 11k cash sitting on the computer desk but no damn dealers have them in stock.

This video made me buy a honda CB650R myself :D True story

Where’s the best place you can recommend to get it fully tuned properly ?

What camera and mic setup do you use? These videos look amazing and there's no wind noise on the mic despite being able to hear the bike. Awesome stuff.

What are you doing in Archerfield? Hahaha

Please link order adhesive wheels?

hey, do you painted your bike yourself?

how tf is brand new and the exhaust is already changed?

Yo what kind of gloves do you rock?

link/name for Akrapovic please?

aren't you going over the speed limit?

Great video. Nice bike. Wondering how you reduce wind noise so well. Setting up for new motovlog and I’ve tried so many setups. Any advice?

Why no more vids pf this bike??? Really rewatched this too many times, the pov ride video is not as good as the sound is picking up a pitch, this is a great vid!

Why does the engine stutter like that at 6:05?

Beuatiful bike. I think I'll go for the 2021 model though because I'm not ready to splash that much money on a bike 😅

Rasudi.

Passed my CBT today and at the end they let me ride this bike just doing short laps of the course - was super easy to ride at low speed doing the manoeuvrers but what an incredible machine. Love it so much!

Do you think it fits for a 6'1ft tall male?

O tanto de vezes que fiquei iludido que ele iria dar um grau kkkk

New ones look so much nicer. BTW Acacia Ridge air strip !
