I just got the bike and in my opinion, it's more advanced than a beginner bike. it's fast, but not scary/crazy fast to the point the front lifts. the bike pulls to the point where you should lean or you'll feel pulled back. overall, I love my new machine

This bike is perfect, fast enough, great exhaust note and comfortable to enjoy long travels

Cager, you are, quite honestly, a great reviewer. Keep up the good work and BIKE REVEAL ALREADY!

Cager, I like that even when a company loans you a bike to ride for a few days, you are still very honest in your review about it. Keep doing what you're doing!

Just a heads up for anyone who's still unaware... Honda's have been manufactured in Thailand since 2012. Japanese design is still used but it's cheaper to produce in Thailand. These are still beautiful bikes and would recommend for everyone thinking of their first 600+

Nice and interesting test ride as usual CagerOnTwoWheels! Looking forward the part 2. Btw, I read in a magazine that the CB(R) 500 & 650 are all built in Thailand.

I just got my 650F a couple weeks ago, and I'm loving this Bike..!

That's what we can call a perfect review, explaining in a detail.

The most fun and entertaining motorcycle review I've ever seen, and very informative! Please keep up the wonderful work; your review was very helpful in choosing my last bike. Cheers!

i was thinking of getting one of these but with everyone complaining about the terrible vibrations in the bike and the low quality of the bike i think ill either go for a xj6 yamaha or a ninja650 .the honda is made in thailand so that explains the low build quality .

I had a 14 cbr 650 f that I put 10k on commuting with some canyons. It was a very fun and comfortable bike, especialy for the price. It is defintly at the sportier version of its 650 brethren (ninjas and XJ's). And the brakes are the reason I took it to work on the 405 everyday: those things kept me alive. But I do find myself wanting a more refigned machine for daily riding as I continue to advance as a rider. BUT THAT IS THE CONUNDRUM. Even though it might seem high for its price point, this bike is very rewarding for a returning intermediate, daily commuter, or advancing beginner.. BTW made in Tailand Edit: ok the 18 list prices are rediculous. (Plus I got mine w/o abs: anologs an backins 4 liv:)g!)

I had 1 exactly the same 2 years ago 1st stop.. ring road...nice machines pulls good wheelies too

I'm not sure about other countries, but in the US you can buy a kit to tuck the licence plate and rear turn signals under the rear seat.

Very good review thanks😃 Getting this bike next month. Will be moving up from a cbr650 so looking forward to the extra bit of power

Thanks bro. I enjoy your vids...relaxing after a hard shift at work. I'm a CBR 500R rider BTW. Take care.

Good to see you're back. Oh, so you have to get a CBR650 or better to get good stock tires. I finally replaced my NC700X's stock tires with all season Michelins and it feels good.

I just got this bike yesterday and I love it. It is my second bike. My first bike was a 2011 CBR250R which I rode for 4 years.

Take note Cager, CB500F CB500R CB500X CB650F CB650R CRF250L and possibly many other honda's are built in Thailand. I think only the high end honda's are built in Japan like the VFR,CB600RR and other's

Hey cager!! Love your videos and your helmet and your laugh when accelerating!!! Keep up the great work!!!!! entertaining and informative. Here are a couple of suggestions could you somehow test ride the Benelli 600 and 300 also the Cfmoto 650 NK and TR versions

theirs this nice lil button on motorcycles that allows you to switch between low and high beams

The way I see it 86Horsepower and a top speed of 140 to 150 is more than enogh for what I want. Here in the US the motorcycle don't have any engine restriction :)

I have now a CBR650F and I love it. I trade it for my NC700X.

11.6 seconds on the quarter mile when a 1000RR owner rode it . 0-60 was 3.7 seconds with grippier Rossos

Another great review Cager. Love your accent! 😊

great review loads of good info and I like your style. subbed.

Great review as always. The bike is made at Kumamoto, Japan, as far as I am aware. So those plastic bits that appeared loose, oh dear, maybe it was a Friday bike...........?

its built in Thailand and I'm not sure which one you got the the dealer near my house it looks like it was double checked nothing is lose even the little bolt where the clutch lever is Honda so the built quality depends on what dealership you got it from.

they're built in thailand... thats why the footpegs have rubber on them

i believe it is built in japan and you can find it out by looking at the series numbe(whatever you call it)r, my nc750 is made in japan and has the same issue on the tail as well.

Dude.. how have I not heard of you? Lol, you're awesome man! Just subbed!

My next bike will have a dual filament headlight bulb. U.S. laws are strict. You must have a working headlight at all times. At least you could get to a place to get a new bulb, without getting pulled over by the police. if you have one filament working.

Nice video.... Waiting part 2

It is a way for bike makers to cut costs. I didn't discover that I didn't have high and low beam until after I purchased the bike. Never heard of such thing. Manufacturers being cheap!

Did you find there was a big clunk when changing gears, also when the bike had just started did you notice a grinding sensation as you put it into first? I know it was a while back but can you remember?

There's nothing insulting to the Japanese by saying they have the best workforce in the world!

Looks good in white.

A good solid review your right it doesn't appear japanese manufactured at all :(

Thanks for your review! I have a few (maybe silly) questions: 1.) In which gear do you drive around the city at 50 km/h? 2.) I read in a magazine that the idle of the motor automatically increases, when you let go of the clutch. So theoretically one could switch to 6th gear while standing still, let go of the clutch and it would not stall the engine. Ist that true? It is kinda hard to believe that. 3.) I guess for the speed test from 0-100 km/h you don't need to switch to second gear?

subscribed :) love this bike and really want one, at the moment im on a honda cb500f, i love it and it has the ability to keep up with everyone, but i just love the fared bikes :P

Hey Cager, nice review! Do you think, that you can have the chance to review the Yamaha YZF R3? I'm undecided between this bike and the MT-07 you already drove. Thanks :)

my dream bike

I just love your reviews, keep then going :) No, it is not manufactured in Japan but in INDIA!!! This is the reason and truly hope they'll do something about this. Really, I would put my hard earned money on a used, better bike before I'll do this one.

Nice review & comparison. :)

Awesome review!

Could you make a review of the new Kawasaki Z300? I think about getting one...

I Love my CBR 650 F

Great video!! Between this and your xj6f, which one would you recommend for touring?

Great work

I'm surprised they went with the Inline 4 engine and that it has quite a bit more power than the Ninja 650.

Of course you're right Cager, but for what reason the customer of this bike may squeeze the indicator lamp? Bye. Your Fan.

Nice review! :)

Hello there, When you where cruising in the highway, can you tell about how many Km'h did you have around 5 to 6 000 rpm's with 6th gear? And how much fuel consumption you had ?

I like everthing about Honda CBR 650 but the rear light spoil my mood .

Am I the only one who likes that tail fender? It is both practical AND pretty. Any bike that doesn't have it looks ugly to me. Seriously, if a bike doesn't have that big and long tail fender and mirrors, I don't even wanna ride it.

How nice would that look like with a single sided swingarm though

Boas. Podes ter mencionado e eu não reparar, mas quais os consumos que fizeste? É tão economica como dizem?

Hey CagerOnTwoWheels. I'm currently considering getting myself a first proper big bike and I'm going back and forth between this CBR650F and its naked sibling CB650F. Will be using it for daily rides to and from the office and the occasional excursion when the weather's up. Anything that sets the two apart other than the fairing and seating position that you can tell me about to make my decision easier?

Cager um dia gostaria de ver um review de uma Supermoto e de uma Sportbike acho que seria porreiro, especialmente a supermoto porque geralemente dizem que é "outro mundo" das duas rodas ahah Abraço

'It's fast enough' very funny moment.

Which one is better? The crb or the xj?

haha that brake test couldve gone a lot worse

Cager....whats your opinion of the Suzuki GSX650 in comparison to this CBR?

Cager, if you had to choose between the Yamaha XJ6 fully faired and this CBR650f which would you choose? And would you consider the MT07 with a windscreen knowing it has waaay more torque?

Cager, não terás problemas com a lei ao mostrares essas velocidades?

After riding with those tyres till the end i can say those tyres are crap never would buy those again got new ones they are amazing

dont they sometimes put the bikes together at the store?

How tall are you? Great video!

Just a curiosity, did Chase On Two Wheels copy you with the name or did you copy him?

hi is the thourtle more sensitive than a 250cc nike like a jonda ? plzz

Can you review a Kawasaki Z800 please?

Hi, i would like to ask you something when taking corners i cant decide to Steering or Countersteering; and after 2 years i just use my body to turn because im afraid of falling the opposide way. that just drags my corner speed away. the curve is between Steering and Countersteering how can i be sure ? its 1 way go and 1 way come and no overtaking lane. (drivers are overtaking all the fucking time.) I have got shitty tires for 2 years if i lean more than 15-20 degrees,i'll definitely kiss asphalt.

E qual é o preço deste lindo brinquedo pfv?!

Black and white yoda style dash lol

Its made in Thailand, yeah!

Have you done any more off road riding?

Hurry up and get on the bike.

Hello :) How tall are You? 6'1" isnt to much for this bike?

Could you review the honda R1? ;-)

needs to have DCT.

Is it a good beginner bike?

I am wondering how compare to a fz_07.

aiii o que eu ja me ri.... "we call it the codfish" ahahhahahahhahah

can someone explain to me why the cbr600f was / is stronger than this cbr650f?

fds ando eu a procura de um bom reviewer e aparece me um tuga heheheh top grand abraco

very nice video man!, i`m from india,and gona get the same m.c,hopefully not a made in china one ;)

What is Cager's profession? Is he an English teacher or sth. He is fluent (albeit his prononciation sucks)

So is this built in Japan?

Is the sitting position for everyday day commuting actually comfortable?

are you using Sena audio now or is the bike really that quiet?

what is the mean of F in cbr650f, and RR in Cbr600rr?

the bike is soundless without a mod exhaust

Ah..Honda. Lack of creativity, a constant value.

Great bike

Thailand

Beautiful bike but the hp and tourqe sucks.. they need to make a 1000cc version

Built in Thailand.

Adoro a estética, mas este motor para consumos é um crime, não entendo as marcas não param de empurrar os clientes para o IUC de alta cilindrada

India, according to: www.bikewale.com/news/16488-honda-to-start-manufacturing-the-cbr650f-in-india.html

Yup! Ugly fender it is... i agree...big bulky ruining the sleek design of that cbr650f... There are fender eliminator kits out there... but i think its not approved..

video making pixels. :( good words; bad recording. sorry :)
