We review the new 2020 Honda CB650R Naked Raw Sports Street Fighter, stripped-down Neo Sports Café Racer Motorcycle.
With 94bhp, this motorcycle flies!
We put it through it's paces and give you all the info you need to make an informed buying decision.
We show the acceleration, braking and handling, and give you all the information and specifications as well as our personal take on what the bike is like.
As always, we mix presenting and riding clips, all beautifully filmed and professionally edited.
Check out our new merchandise at teespring.com/stores/mr-darcy... We have some really cool NEW t-shirts!
Father and son team, talk about and ride this fabulous street bike from Honda. This bike has the standard exhaust pipe, but Darcy would like it even more with the Akrapovic exhaust.
Check out the Old Man's new helmet too; kindly donated by Bell Helmets! The Bell 2020 Street Qualifier DLX MIPS Breadwinner Black/White. Review coming soon!
Don't forget to watch all the way through and check out all the specs at the end!

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 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!

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!

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.

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
@MrDarcy-OlMan
@MrDarcy-OlMan 3 жыл бұрын
We haven’t ridden the cbr650r but the fairing would definitely make the riding at speed more comfortable and easy. Otherwise comfort wise probably about the same, I wouldn’t call any sports bike comfortable because you’re leaning forwards with your neck cranked up to see.

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!!
