Glad to hear that man!! Ride safe out there!

Thinking there may be a few bargains with the new model now out :)

Thanks for the advice. Honestly I have just gotten too used to my xr's quick shifter that I forgot how to use a clutch basically.

Is it bad to throttle before completely release the clutch? I think I'm doing the same thing

Yeah I agree with you on that one

Come on Man, „Wooow“, Ohhh yeahh“, „Uhhhh“, „a lot of torque“, „coool“: it‘s like a stupid kid explainig plus it‘s not a fuckin’ ZX14R or a Busa !!

This is the way he talks don't judge him

@@Mohammed-sd9wy 🥺 Awwww, poor thing. Did my comment hurt your fragile little heart? Did you feel identified and offended? 💔

What other bikes are in its inline 4 class?

lol....I have one

@@drsutton2 Me too and I just got my license 😂

I’ve had a Yamaha back in the day but was married and she didn’t want me to have fun. Lol. Now divorced I’m doing me for sure. Great bike hands down.

Thank you & I literally just bought a ten dollar mic on amazon and plugged it in to my go pro. PANNOVO 3.5mm mini Mic microphone with Adapter if you're really curious

Mohd Fairouz Abdul Rahman im also 5’5” test drove this bike and i had a comfortable ride. No issues with height at all

good to know, coming from an FZ, looking at the new 650R

It’s an in-line four it’s a completely different powerband area

First of all, make sure that insurance isn't going to kill you on this bike bro. Furthermore, I totally recommend this bike mainly because it is a very planted bike (for safety reasons) and you will get great gas mileage which will be perfect for commuting every day. I personally rode a motorcycle to school for 2 years and this would've been an awesome bike to commute with. Just try and get one for a good price and you should be good.

Get this bike it is awsome, butt 4 cyclinder means easy and forgiving in city driving and really really fast once you reff the hell out of it.

sorry my advise; get a yamaha fz6(n) second hand. It s about the same ( looks beter) and a lot cheaper. FZ1 if you wan t 150 horsebrakepower.

After buying this bike and considering the fz07, I'd definitely recommend this one over the fz07. In the same situation as you, meaning I picked it up to go to school / go to places. One of the main things you hear from people comparing both bikes, those people are saying that the fz has more low end torque, hence can weave through traffic better etc. etc. This is truly misleading, and can not be further from the truth. The truth in reality is, is that the low end torque of fz is really higher (as proven by numerous dynos), but in no way does that mean that the cb650 can not weave through traffic. The comparison by other people implies that the cb650f will have a hard time, when in reality, the low end torque is already ENOUGH to weave through traffic. (Imagine, slower bikes like a ninja 300 or 400 can do that, then why couldn't the cb). What takes the icing off the cake is that besides low end torque, the fz has nothing else when compared to the cb. First of all since we both use it to commute, it has a larger gas tank. No need for explanation there. Second of all, it's heavier. We aren't using this to off road, we are using this mainly for travel, and not for wheelies etc. With this, it's much safer at higher speeds (I'll talk about speed later), and it's well planted to the ground. Third is the power delivery. Again, the power on the low end torque is already enough. The video doesn't do the CB justice, since he was not really revving it hard. But give it more throttle, and it's already fast. CB has a less than 4 second of going 0-60mph to give you an idea, even then that isn't even functioning entirely on the effective rpm range (which is about 8k-12k for 4 cylinders) I say this is a good thing really, since in the city, you really want to be extra cautious with the speed, and save the power for the highway, wherein you can really show the bike's power more safely. Fourth is Speed. The CB being a 4 cylinder can push out a higher max top speed than an fz. Although there are videos of the fz going 230+ some say in the comments that it was downhill, or that their own fz's can only go 210. While CB can go 240-250 consistently. Fifth is sound. The fz can put any exhaust they have, but it will still sound like a person rolling hard R's. While the CB650f stock sound will sound like a *MACHINE* . You can change the exhaust, but you can't change the # of cylinders. I know this may seem biased, and you can stop reading here, but let me just explain how I got to that conclusion. From a commuter's perspective, the things you look for is (1) performance and (2)reliability. Performance wise, again fz boasts of low end torque, which is in my opinion, useless for when I'm driving around the city, since the low end torque can only be an argument if I'm considering about popping a wheelie, not on overtaking (since again, CB can do that already). Since I am mainly using this around the highway, the thing that I am looking for is which bike would offer more safety. For the reasons above, CB wins. For reliability, since Yamaha and Honda are already both well known, this is not much of an issue. One thing though that my father has pointed out, is that you can clearly see *A TON* of people selling their 2018 mt-07's and mt-09's either almost brand new (less than 4k miles, some even less than 500 miles), or which were used just for 1 year. While there's no one (in my country at least) selling even 1 old or new cb650f. The thing is, (especially in my country where any motorcycle over 400cc is already an expensive bike) if you buy a bike, that means you're going to keep it for a long time. But since people are buying the fz's and selling them fast, then that just means that there's something lacking to it that people are finding (a lot of the reasons of them selling it is to upgrade to a bigger bike). Mind you, they're selling the fz's with modified exhaust already(worth about $1k), yet they shave off $1-2k just so people would buy the bike. For me, that just proves that the fz is really just a 'try" bike, while the CB is a "keep" bike. Personally, I don't need a liter bike or etc. since I've driven a 125cc bike for almost 6 years for daily commutes, and going up to 650 is already a big change, and it's already enough.

Be smart with your first bike, get a smaller displacement bike CB300F and really learn how to ride it. Like really learn how to lean it into the corners, learn how to ride in traffic, learn basic mechanics, learn until you are 100% "on top" of that bike. Then upgrade. An extremely high revving 650cc engine is too much for your first bike, plus like below, insurance is going to just destroy you at such a young age and if it's your first bike.

Thought the same thing lol

I'm broke Haha!

@@Mr.XR8996haha, be careful bro

Hi there, how's the 650 so far? Any regrets at all? How's your mpg?

How do you ride it at 5’2”? I’m looking into this bike and am the same height as you. Any tips?

Absolutely. Like I said in the video, this would've been a great upgrade for me instead of my BMW. Its easy to ride, has really good grip for safe riding, lots of power, looks awesome, sounds great, great gas mileage, and loads of fun.

@@Mr.XR8996 I'm sorry but for little or no experience this bike would a cost a new rider his life! This is a serious machine not to be toyed around. I'd recommend 250 maximum as a first bike.

I'd get a parallel twin.

@@filoIII parallels sound like swing machines , I bought a v twin sv650 instead

@@user-sw4go6vc5s That would be good, too, the SV.

It is actually very smooth. I was really impressed even though it didn't really offer any wind protection (no windscreen). Now how does it feel when you're going 100+ mph? That's is the right question.

It isn't bad. You can put a small aftermarket screen on like I did and it isn't bad at all. I went from Ohio out to Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana on mine this year. 5,000 miles in two weeks. It did really well. No problems cruising at or above highway speeds.

I find it buffets your head about a bit above about 65-70mph but I am a new rider and I've only ridden this and the CB125F.

I would say fz07 but thats just my personal opinion.

Np man. Ended up choosing the cb650f though... blows the fz out of the water.

@@estoylaroca Nice man, I've never really looked at them before but kinda like them now. How much did you pay?

Converted to dollar, about $8,780. For comparison, the MT-07 costs $8,500. Those are the MSRP in my country. Considering the under $300 difference, it was almost a no brainer for me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think in the US or other countries, the price difference is about $1000, so I guess the choice is not as easy.

Used to have both, the CB was more comfortable and felt more like a "big" bike. But the stock tires had to be replaced which made it even better

6 foot 2

So it’ll be a bit to high for me cause I’m 5 foot 9?

No you should be fine, it is pretty low. @@LoloVerong

Did you do ok on this bike ? I'm also 6,2'' ( 187 cm ) heigh but I'm afraid that I'll look to big for this bike . Are the CB650F big enough for this height ? Thank you .

Yep first service after 1000km or 600miles and then every 12.000km
