Honda CB650R REVIEW. Blindingly quick Sports Café Racer A licence motorcycle with an A2 licence map! 

As always brilliant review very detailed by real bikers best on you tube

I just bought one last week, I'm 65 - love it,. Surprised how quick it is and I'm an ex-racer.

Excellent review as always! Good to see Gandalf leaving the fellowship to pump iron and review bikes!

I'm 37 and new to bikes. just got the 125 version of this and love it! this is gonna be my first big bike purchase. thanks guys love the honesty and the great vids!

I've had mine for nearly 2 years. I love it, but now it's time to move on to the CB1000R. Very thorough review as usual. Thanks a million boys. Stay safe

I’ve been keeping an eye on this bike via reviews and videos and as many have said previously really loved the review. You guys smashed every question I could think of and seeing the two of you both on the bike (proportion wise) just spot on. Another subscriber!!!

A bike for the young? Ho, ho! I have one of these awesome bikes. I bought it when I was 61. Now 63, and still enjoying it. Also, upper 60s mpg, one of the bikes many good points.

The quality of your videos and reviews is outstanding! and thank you for not putting music when you speak!

Nice to see a father and son review channel. I've really enjoyed your reviews

finaly a tall biker, testing bikes. Thanks mate for the content !

Nice little review that, you captured exactly what sold me on this bike and why I bought mine in 2019. Cheers! Dan

Every time i seek a review of a specific bike i am interested in, i find Mr. Darcy. I like Mr. Darcy's reviews. Ooh that seems almost as fast acceleration as my Ducati Night Shift (that thing moves!).. I want one! I mean I am going to buy one

I just bought this in Denim Blue in Thailand. 1000km first weekend and now due for it's service. Beautiful bike to ride and look at.

So true! This is a very well made bike. I bought one last year and after 29000km I love it more and more. I'm 55 and been riding since I was 18 and suits me like a glove. And I like that there's no analog speedo! I used to be a cruiser guy too but naked sports are so much more fun!

Great review, love the fact that you show what the bike looks like with someone sitting on it, really helps with understanding the proportions etc, wish more reviewers did this and not just pov footage!

Great review as always. I have the CBR faired version of this and think it’s all the bike I’ll ever need. As a short bloke 5’6, the seat height and narrow body is ideal too meaning I can get most of both feet down. Brakes probably the most impressive I’ve ever tried. Legendary Honda reliability. Up there with litre bikes due to agility on everything except the track. Standard exhaust sounds great. Hope to see more of them on the road!

I haven't had a 4 cylinder bike for years but the sound reminded me of, the cbx550 I rode out to Israel a long time ago ago. Nice review.

Another awesome review! I think this is one of the best looking and coolest bikes out there. This may be my next bike. Keep it up guys!

Hi guys, brilliant video. I'm really loving going through your back catalogue of reviews atm. The only thing i can say is that you guys only focus on the positives in the majority of reviews. For a balanced and fair review you must give more negatives. If you are struggling compare against other bikes, how customisable are the bikes, can you change positions of controls, can 2 people fit on it etc etc. Great channel again thank you!

Great review! Have owned mine for over a year now and think it's a great bike. Keep up the good work. Trev 👍

Nice review! I tried the predecessor a couple of years ago and unfortunately crashed it due to an oil spill mid corner, that kind of bummed it out for me even though it was not the bike's fault. But I like the looks of this newer Neo Sports Cafe version and I think I'll take it for a test ride just to compare it with the older model. But seriously, the "ol' man" looks like the kind of guy I wouldn't wanna mess with in a bar. It's difficult enough for me (age 39) to stay in shape, but I reckon you're a "little" older than me, so respect for your shape, bro! Keep going, I like your reviews, good teamwork and I think it's very cool that you review all sorts of bikes and give every one of them a fair personal evaluation instead of simply saying "this one is better because it has a bigger engine and more hp" as so many other vloggers do these days... Biking is a personal (maybe even spiritual?) thing and everybody has their own preferences and reasons to ride in the first place, so I think no bike is "bad" just because "reasons". I like it that you give every bike a fair chance to shine and don't dismiss a little 125cc bike just because of engine size for example, so hats off for that!

Totally enjoyed your review - I brought one in black at the beginning of August and it's about to have the first service. It delivers everything I wanted and looked for. I ride it wearing my Halcyon goggles purchased after watching your review on them some time ago - thank you!

Another cracking review. I do like the look of the Honda CB range. Nearly at 10k subs, rooting for you guys! 👍

Hello from Canada. Appreciate how you talk about riders height. I’m 6’3” and very interested in this bike, so good to see how you fellas fit on it. Your videos are great, very informative.

Another cracking review as always thanks gentlemen

I love the review. You guys rock!

Thank you for the review.. Specially to the riding position of 6’ ft height and now I saw it.. So it is absolutely nice.....! Ride safe guys.. 🙏💪！

thank you guy's good review

You guys are the BEST on RU-vid!!!!

Great review. Thanks for posting

Great review on this bike, sounds good! also love your t shirts 👍

I always loved that jackel and mr hyde nature on my fz6n. Keep it low and its smooth as silk, but pop it over 10k and feel your sphincter clench. Not to forget the inline 4 symphony.

The ol' man is an absolute unit. Damn.

Excellent review! I confirm: A hell of a bike!!

Great review guys 👍🏻 Just collected mine today and loving it 😎

Great review 👍 I like how you give it some beans... Proper review 👍

Awesome review guys love the bike cheers chaps 👌🏻

You got me, I'm going to buy one.

You really don't need anything anything bigger than this for a naked road bike, great review. I should be looking at something like the NC750 at my age but I guess there is still a bit of hooligan in me yet as this is tempting. I would almost trade in my 1200 bandit for one.

Nice review, thanks- would be nice to see a comparison video with triumph trident when it comes out in late January.

I love your reviews

Bang on .. very precise review 👍

Great review, I'm not into Japanese bikes these days but this is very tempting!

I was a little on concerned about him riding on the wrong side of the road... but then I realized there are other places outside the states lol

I've had fingers crossed you guys would review this bike 👌 Always deliver you guys well done

Super Review , thanks for that Greetings from Bavaria Tommi

Excellent review!

Smashing review.

Great review! He can't see because he's old hahahaha, hey whippersnapper I'm in the same category! I've just got one and it really is a great little bike, the engine always sounds busy but it can do everything, I came down from a KTM 1190 because I'm old, (blind) and wanted a lighter machine. Keep on the good work.

Mr Darcy, I am 58 years ancient, from what you say, and that Honda CB650R and us old boys, on a budget would seriously look at buying this smooth 4 knowing it has Honda reliability, upright riding position and that Neo Cafe racer look.

Great review looking to get one and I’m old love the beard

Great Review!!!

Beautiful bike !!

Awesome review of an awesome bike your review is very well organised keep it up. Oh ya the bearded dude is in great shape. Maybe a big cb1000 suits him for his size

You guys are amazing. Who is Mr. Darcy? I think i know who the old man is :) Great video you should have at least 1000000 subscribers.

You guys are great 😁

Soooo... You talked me in to buying the 300ccm version. The 650 will be the death of me. Thx for the spectacular revieuw, really enjoyed it.

I can't get enough of mine 3 years later

Do the tee shirts come with the biceps or nah? 💪 💪 haha good video! Nice bike too

It should be Mr. Darcy and the Young Man

Beautiful review of my motorcycle

Good review

Nice review lads! I am the proud owner of one myself since two weeks. Greetings from Holland 😊

Thanks for another very nice review of an attractive small bike! You say that this bike is not for your age; but what is your age? I am 65 and I wouldn't dare own one of these. I probably couldn't resist the temptation of driving it hard.

Santa Claus on steroids 💉😂

Nice-looking bike, and inline fours are far more tractable than they used to be, even a mid-size one like this, as you explain. I prefer twins, although the CB1000R is very tempting. However, I sold my B-King because it frightened me. I'd prefer an XSR900 to the CB650R.

Another great review...I miss analog meters... like ur old man.

Hello, thank you for your channel. I love your content. I have a question which would be the better highway commuter ( 60 mile round trip) the Cb650r or the triumph street twin 900 both 2019? thank you.

Awesome review as always, gents. Do y'all by any chance know if it's possible to put an A2 map on the bike outside of the UK? I'm in the states and would love to get this as my first bike as something to hold onto for years and years to come, but in my humble opinion, 94 HP is a little too much for what I feel comfortable starting out with.

I am going to pick up this beauty next few weeksx just a simple question is high beam wide enough for countryroad?

Cracking Review chaps, will be doing the DAS next year and torn between the cb650r and cbr650r as the first big bike, which out of the two would you recommend? I imagine the cb650r will be more comfortable for the longer journeys

Great review, guys.. subscribed ☝️ one question, i have seen your video also of benelli leoncino.. what bike is bigger? this honda cb650r or italian lion? keep doing a great job.

Frame is not a stress member. It is on, say an MT 07

Just come across this channel. Will go through the old vids. Just curious. What camera are you using, the video with the boko effect looks great. 👍🏻

Sir you look like a Viking man ready for a fight

Nice one. Would you go for this or the Cb1100 if you had to pick one? ?

Nice review, gents. Would this be a bike for panniers and touring?

I didn't know Zeus was a moto guy. Nice

Agree with the comments. He could say the engine runs on orange juice and with that beard I would believe it 😁

Can't see the revs cos he's old 🤣 Another great review. I'm riding one at the moment for my bike licence training, and at 6 foot 2, I'm struggling to ride more than an hour without a numb bum. How do you guys get on after an hours ride ? Is it because I'm new to riding or the bike is too small?

MPORTANT QUESTION FOR YOU: Just rode the CB1000R and loved it except for one huge flaw: Turn the handlebars a few degrees and all of the sudden it ''falls off the table", dives, it's like a GIANT hand reaches and hard pullls your damm wheel!! I suspect the CB650 is the same as it doesn't have a damper either. Please, please, please, tell me that it "doesn't" pull this crap!!

just bought one, going from a 67 plate mt07!

We need a direct comparison with the Trident. Which bike is better for which kind of rider/use-case?

This or trident 660? I’m struggling with choosing one of this for my first bike. Considering price wise, quality, reliability and plan on keeping for long term if having one.

which do you prefer mr darcy and mr ol man this cb650r or the trident 660?..

You mention the bike comes with a heated grip, how hot do the grips get, are they as good as the oxford heated grips?

Gorgeous house!….I bought the bike

I will pick this cb 650r as my first bike Should i?

I was considering buying this CB650R as someone approaching 60 years old but young Darcy told us it was for young people. What should I buy then?

I’m still deciding on which one to get, the 650 or the 1000

Mr Darcy, your father is correct; us old boys would prefer old analogue rev counters.

The guy on the black, you sure you're 6ft? I'm 6 foot and the bike looks small when I ride it.

terbaik bang

A2 licence map? Isnt that what the 500 is for?

Hi would you say this is more worthwhile upgrade than an MT07? Coming from a CB500f cheers!

Whats your thoughts on this bike against the triumph trident 660

Hmm ....recommend this or a triumph street twin for daily commuting?

Thoughts on it for a first 'big' bike?

Ol man is so big he makes the bikes look small

The old guy looks like he belongs on a Harley. And yes annoy the neighbors 😆
