Many reasons my friend, many reasons.

Really feel you bro

Thanks for the compliment friend! Will definitely make more.

Thanks my friend! Definitely a worthy bike to consider. Now there’s a triumph trident it’s gonna be harder to choose which to buy.

Thanks for the support brother! I’ll keep them coming. A few more on its way. Ride safe!

Hey there it’s been more than 6 days since this comment hope you enjoy your bike and it’s as good as you expected it. Congrats btw!

Yea it’s a cheap hack I really didn’t want to spend usd50 on stomp grips that covers too much of the sides.

Thanks for the compliment! Ride safe and stay safe friend!

Thank you my friend! Glad it gave you an idea for your bike. Ride safe!

Terima kasih bang. Moto besar ni selalunya jadi target brake caliper kita buat mana yg boleh untuk kurangkan risiko.

Thanks for the support bro! Really appreciate it

Thank you :)

Thank you buddy!

Thank you! Ride safe!

Thanks man! it is an awesome bike indeed!

Thanks for your comment! Glad you enjoyed! Have a great day.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the content!

Thank you for your comment! Made my day!

Thank you bro!

Thank you!

Hope you for your bike already. I’ve made some changes to mine. Like I changed the sliders, engine cover and side mirrors.

Thank you!! It’s a great first bike but it can be a bit heavy and a bit of an animal if you wind her up.

Thanks buddy! Yea the bike is still around and I have a few more accessories on her. Will make another video once a few other bits gets installed

Hi there, is a throttle lock like a cruise control device? I don't have a throttle lock, now you got me curious.

@@RUBBERNMETAL it’s just a mechanical device that holds the throttle open. There’s several types. Vista Cruise is one, Kaoko is another.

Nice, congratulations! I've subscribed to your channel, do post some videos.

Thank you buddy! The GSXS750 is a really good deal. As an ex Suzuki owner I confirm they can make wonderful engines. If you’ve made a choice, let me know what you got.

No problem glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome KL biker!! Man that’s a great idea will try that out bro thanks for suggesting. About the rubber dots a few disadvantages that I have so far is with the thing becoming yellow over time and that it moves out of place after a while. I had the bigger tank grip on my old bike. When I wanted to replace it, it took a bit of paint off when k peeled it. Urgh…

Thanks brother!! Ride safe!

Thanks you my friend!

@@RUBBERNMETAL merci 👍🏻

Thanks for the kind words glad you like the video. I’m still in the process of further accessorising and will make a part 2 video. Yea get the newer models they have better front suspension which is great.

Jangan tiru semua bro. Banyak dah ubah dah skarang.

Thanks buddy! Yea they have turned yellow overtime but they’re cheap so they can be replaced easily (which I need to do soon) until I find a decent looking tank grip. Oh there are restrictions on exhaust noise but it’s rarely enforced so most big bikes have loud exhausts on them.

Thanks for your comment! The exhaust headers can return to its original shine using autosol which i recently did. Will post a video about it soon. About the mirrors, it doesn't vibrate but the visibility is not great because its small. I suggest if you want to get bar ends don't get round ones.

haha takpe bro MT09 terbaik bunyi padu. CB ni waiting list dia lama sangat, banyak kali gak rasa nak amik MT09/Street Triple S instead while tgh tunggu.

I personally don’t prefer the look of the splash guard it hides the clean round shape of the rear tire. But that’s me you can install it if you prefer. I don’t think you have to remove the rear fender but usually people install the splash guard because they removed the rear fender. The splash guard is attached to the swing arm so you can have both if you want to.

Hi there. Thanks for checking out the video. That screen is a Bluetooth display for my action camera.

My screen is factory, 2020 model which I believe is the same as 2019. I agree it is somewhat hard to see against the sunlight.

Oh man thanks so much that means a lot to me. A lot of hours go into making these videos and learning to use the software - so glad that people find it useful and appreciate it. You're getting the CB650R I'm assuming ya? Get the 2021 model with the improvements. The seat cowl is not a cover that goes on top, it's a unit on its own. You have to take the rear seat off and replace it with the cowl. Honda Big Wing does sell it for RM500 I think but I've never seen it listed in the accessories catalogue. I bought mine from Lazada anyways for around RM120 I think. I'll share the link soon.

@@RUBBERNMETAL yup, definitely getting one for sure ! U have any idea when does the 2021 model release ? Really looking forward to own one of these ! Wow, crazy price dude almost 400 difference in price ! But since it's coming from lazada or shoppe, u're just gonna gamble with the qc of the item itself right ? Lol. Btw thanks for helping me out dude, im gonna watch ur new upload now, keep it 💯

@@muhammadasri765 no idea officially but I think the big wing Facebook page has released some pictures of the 2021 model. Waiting list is around 4 months though so better place your booking early. Yea I gambled with the quality of the cowl but so far it seems pretty sturdy and the paint is 95% on point matching the tank. They missed a small part but it can only be seen up close. Haha enjoy the video it’s just a compilation of clips. Btw seller I bought the cowl from no longer sells it but here’s another one I found. s.lazada.com.my/s.cw5kq It’s an awesome bike tho but make sure to test the trident first before heard that one is amazing.

Hi there. You can lower the front fork at the clamp. I’ve seen a few examples lowered by an inch. No plans on lowering mine yet so idk what the difference is myself.

Hi. It’s the screen for my action camera.

Hi there thanks for your comment. They kind of serve different purposes I believe. I changed over both sliders and engine cover now btw.

That is the display and control for my action camera

TD…. Taman desa?

Exactly @@RUBBERNMETAL

Nice!! Congrats on the upgrade and definitely a noticeable jump from the 300r. The ducati monster I had is an air cooled 800cc, more torque at low end, more grumble, more heat, shakes hard in traffic, a loooot more expensive to maintain (regular maintenance, nothing went wrong with it btw). But you feel more ‘alive’ and somehow feel like riding on something more exotic. I had to sell it and keep the Honda as I had no time to ride both bikes. It’s the obvious thing to do. The Honda is like this tame bike but can scream when you wring it’s neck, simple and cheap to maintain but also comes with simple electronics such as tc and Abs for rainy days. Still loving the cb but I sometimes miss my monster.

@@RUBBERNMETAL thanks for the reply! Yeah you described the monster well and how I imagined ha, I’ve thought about one but can imagine the maintenance being a lot more. Safe riding 🤙🏻

Thanks buddy. Here you go. a.aliexpress.com/_mKCAxEv Please take note that the 2019/2020 models have different brackets to the 2021 model

That's a great suggestion, I've actually changed the sliders on the bike. I now have a neater looking evotech that is attached to the front part. Unfortunately CBR650Rs don't have that option as they have a fairing.

Yes of course that’s a major drawback I have to live with but it looks so much better. Even on some days the mud/dirt kicks up to my neck and helmet not a good look if you want to look good for work.

There’s no specific brand but here’s a link to the local seller where I live. I’ve seen it on Ali express before but haven’t been able to find them again since. shopee.com.my/product/217921259/4115455555?smtt=0.28985722-1611154054.9

Awesome bike I bought it without having test it before actually big gamble hehe. I think given the current rate and waiting time you’ll probably get the 2021 model which is nicer.

Wait for 2021. Few upgrades, but good ones.

Hey bro. Haha you really want the side mirrors ya from all the comments. I bought it from a Malaysian website but I found this one on Ali express looks exactly the same from the photos. Here you go. a.aliexpress.com/_mM3PNrF

Dammmn wsup neighbour. Dude I went down straight away when I saw this msg scared me. When did you see the monster with stolen calipers? I know there’s a monster which has its calipers stolen previously parked near a wall it belongs to one of the neighbours.

@@RUBBERNMETAL Hey sorry, didn’t meant to scare you. 😓 It was last year actually. been there for quite some time and like you mention it was park near to a wall. After I watch few more of your vids, nah.. it isn’t yours. 🤣 Anyway, 😀I’ll be getting my cbr650r in a month or 2 from HBW setapak 🤞 Hope in the future can meet up TT or something. Much to learn from you ! 🤣🤣

@@daniell274 haha no worries man all good I’m so relieved I saw the brakes there. Sure bro after the lockdown we should meet up I’m sure you’ll join the WhatsApp groups. Who did you buy it from? Alex? I bought mine from BW setapak too.

@@RUBBERNMETAL From Nazrie, but Alfis follow up. 😅

The 650 is very similar to the 500 in terms of riding with a fair bit more power and better sound. You’ll be very familiar with it and that’s not a bad thing because it’s easy to ride and maintain plus great build quality that you take for granted until you ride other bikes. It’s not a Supersports tho but it’s not too far off in terms of the Supersports experience without the hassle of the ergonomics and other stuff. I had many regrets amongst the fun I had owning a Suzuki GSXR600. The CB650R or the CBR650R will be a good compromise if you don’t do track riding all the time. However if you plan to get for track riding or spirited riding only then a proper screaming Supersports is better and more focused in terms of handling and top end power. But you’ll sacrifice a lot of comfort for speed and handling which just makes the bike annoying to live with on a daily basis especially if you commute.

@@RUBBERNMETAL thanks a lot, where I live unfortunately they just sell the cb (no cbr600rr neither the cbr650r) so basically my options are either this cb650r or jump to a fireblade which i would love to (who doesnt LOL) but that is too too much😅 therefore my only option is this cb650r... love the gixxer but that bike is outdated not even abs so not an option for me I am just waiting for January to see what happens if I do the jump 😋😃

@@almin9751 yea the gixxer is outdated won’t be a good daily. Oh about strictly the CB to be honest I miss the clip on handlebars on my old CBR500R I feel it is a bit more engaging. The stock seating position is very upright and relaxing but not that suited for attacking corners. If you enjoy your cbr500 you’ll enjoy the cb650r. I didn’t go for the CBR650R faired version because i felt that on my old CBR500R looked faster than it actually is and this time around I wanted a bike that is faster than it looks. Plus round headlights is always classy and evergreen and I get to save some cash too 😂 If you enjoy your CBR500R you’ll enjoy the CB650R its just a smoother, faster and better sounding big brother.

Some of the links do not exist anymore and are local for Malaysia which is not universal for all. Which ones in particular are you interested in?

Hi bro thanks for the comment. I got mine from the Sony store in Mid Valley megamall a few years ago.

@@RUBBERNMETAL Hi morning bro! May i know wat model from Sony you got? Wonder can buy thru online..

@@adrianlee7802 morning bro. Sure it’s the HDR AS300. There’s the 4K higher spec model X3000 they look identical. If you want to use it for bike action cam you need an external mic (doesn’t have to be expensive) for it as the original mic picks up too much wind noise above 30kmh. Oh and don’t forget to get the lens protector as well to protect the lens (i paid RM200 just for that damn thing 😬).

@@RUBBERNMETAL Oh thanks for your infos bro! Anyway, i checked online is it come with video action cam? Price around rm13xx and where do you put your cam?

@@adrianlee7802 no problem bro yea it’s both action camera and screen display connected by Bluetooth. Most of the time I stick it on the side of my helmet but you can also put it on a chest mount or on the bike as well. You plan to buy it for vlogging? The price should be lower now I bought it around. RM1250 which was 2 years ago.

Hi buddy which orange paint ya?

Yes I got rid of those for some evotech actually and really happy with how it looks now. R&G would look good too as an alternative.

In bright sunlight yes it can be quite dim, but I’m used to worse displays on other bikes.

You should its well worth it, a much cheaper solution hence a cheap gamble.

@@RUBBERNMETAL yah i ordered the dots and they were a lot smaller than yours...it failed. lol

@@urbanhooligan3787 haha you should order ones that are around 1cm in diameter it will stick better as well. Buy extra for spares in case any falls out you can quickly replace them.

We do it’s super overdue! I have everything ready just need to edit it man.

😂😂😂 I thought about editing it out initially but left it in. Glad you noticed.

Oh man I learn something new everyday. Didn’t know that thanks for sharing. I’m sure most police officers would turn a blind eye on it if it doesn’t make sense.

@@RUBBERNMETAL They would surely close their eyes, unless they dont like you and wants to be a dick lmao. But its been 2 years, and I have never been stopped for this, so I think they're cool with it !

Tq bossku

Sure here you go. I tried finding one on Ali express but I can’t seem to find it again. Here’s a link from a local seller where I live. shopee.com.my/product/217921259/4115455555?smtt=0.28985722-1611154054.9

oh noo... sorry to hear that. My mirrors are holding well until today fortunately. The trick about Ali Express (if you buy from there) is not to get the cheapest but to look around for the better ones and find the seller that sells you that particular unit at the lowest price (also look for review from other buyers).

@@RUBBERNMETAL I ordered another pair and they worked great! Only downside was I had to trim a bit off the grip on the right side cuz the throttle was getting a little stuck😂

@@c.g.7575 Ah yes I saw my mechanic spending some time getting the gap correctly so it doesn't get stuck with the throttle? How's yours holding up in high speeds? Mine moved slightly if I cruise above 180kmh continuously, fortunately I don't go that fast very often so it doesn't bother me much.

@@RUBBERNMETAL same! I find myself adjusting them slightly but I can live with that ! The look justifies it so much!

Original as in… stock? Or original R&G/Evotech aftermarket?

@Rubber N Metal trying to look for a stock oem one.

@@dkmv29able what happened to yours? It’s probably the first thing most owners got rid of.

@Rubber N Metal whoever had the bike before I did. Did not buy a fender delete he just cut the oem one and did a bad job modify

@@dkmv29able damn that sucks. I’m sure you’ll be able to find one if you search high and low. Most of them are taking storage space in the store room probably.

I don’t have a list of it right now. Some of the items are no longer listed for sale last I checked. Which ones are you looking for?

Nah. Still not yet but it’s overdue.

I want to enjoy the original spec performance for at least 10,000km before installing a full system exhaust, quickshifter, K&N air filter. Now the bike only has 2,800km so that will be due in another video.

@@RUBBERNMETAL ah ok I take out on my right away because the catalytic its really heavy and its almost touch ground when you lean.....

Don’t worry my dad is not a fan of them too. The original is more functional to be honest.

@@RUBBERNMETAL I'm glad to know 😁, maybe I'm just old school. All the best mate cheers 👍

Yeaaa Taman desa represent!!

That is a good suggestion, I actually heard that too but only after I bought those sliders. Actually last weekend I had swapped out those massive sliders for a set of sleeker evotech ones that are mounted to the front metal frame.

well it's pretty nice😊, have a good day bro

@@zharsenerez5049 thanks bro. You have a good day too. Stay safe!

hahaaaa I realized that during the editing and since you pointed it out, I definitely did the right thing by leaving it in there

Theoretically possible it may be very uncomfortable for the passenger. Or… the cowl might break.

Buy what you think suits you more. The z900 is a very powerful bike nothings wrong with it. For me the design of the CB won my heart despite the big sacrifice in power.

Hey buddy I agree I had these on during lockdown period where traffic wasn’t heavy. As soon as I get to ride the bike regularly in heavy traffic I realised the danger and switched the mirrors to bigger ones but they’re still bar ends tho. Ride safe! Thanks for keeping an eye out for a fellow biker!

You’re right… maybe not ‘vanilla’ otherwise I wouldn’t still love it. but compared to an air cooled Italian v twin which at that time was my other bike it was a bit more composed. Yes it’s hard to find a bike at this price point with the right proportions and design.

My bad for the long intro dude

You should get and when you do I hope you can invest in the proper parts for the bike. I only went Ali express on non critical and non performance related parts btw.

Heheh

None of the fake accessories I put on the bike affect mechanical performance. The only fake ones I put on are windscreen and seat cowl the rest are just brandless. For those two fake items my local dealer did not carry them and the shipping cost from overseas for the original items to my country plus import tax will be more than the cost of the product itself. Would you still buy original given the circumstances?

@@RUBBERNMETAL I wouldn’t buy it coz I would just use the original that came with the bike. Especially the bar end mirrors. If I couldn’t get originals or branded, I wouldn’t try alibaba coz like you said in the video, vibrations will be felt more and alibaba has a lot of fake stuff I tried before and got burn. Never again. Don’t get me wrong, I like watching your videos. Just that CB650R is really a nice bike and those fake accessories doesn’t do the bike justice. Just my 2 cents. Cheers for the reply though.

No problem mate appreciate your thoughts on it. The vibration from the bar end mirrors only exists because the bar inserts has been taken out. There’s some owners who have pushed the bar inserts further in which helps with vibration instead. So will try that. About stuff from Ali express not all are bad quality, general rule of thumb is not to get the cheapest and always look for buyer reviews. The bar end mirrors I have on mine are quite decent quality, not flimsy and it doesn’t seem like it’s cheaply made (so far). Anyways thanks for the comment again and glad you enjoy some of the content.

@@RUBBERNMETAL thanks for sharing your experience on CB650R i owned a very old honda and now looking to get this bike myself but this pandemic is really not helping! Anyhow keep the videos coming! Subscribe and like cheers buddy!

@@CaptainChristianZ1818 thanks for the support. I hope you get your bike soon, took me a while for my order to arrive due to the pandemic. Get the 2021 model as there’s some updates from the 2020.

Hehe glad you stayed to listen. You can always skip thru :)

Somehow I agree with you. Swapped out some of the accessories for nicer ones like the frame slider and engine cover.

Thanks. Altho I don’t think anyone has gotten bike snatched at gunpoint in my country tho. I live in Malaysia btw. Thieves don’t tend to steal big bikes (generally anything more than 250cc) here they just steal the fancy bits like brake calipers and steering dampers. 🤔

@@RUBBERNMETAL your accent suggested otherwise...

@@fredrit323 lol where did you think I was from?

The intention is to prevent cross border traveling to prevent from the virus spreading to other parts of the country. It worked for a while until the borders opened and everyone went on holiday.

Let me know if you got that 10k. If you got a sponsor for that nice exhaust share the info bro. I need a nice exhaust too 🥲

No one is stopping you from getting all original rizomas

@@RUBBERNMETAL Why you buy a Honda ? You can buy a chinese bike to ,

@@pauldemir4133 no one’s stopping me from getting a Honda or a Chinese bike.
