I was riding both Honda CB650R and CBR650R - the new models for 2019. Which one I liked more and why? What are the main differences? You'll see in the video.

No-one ever talks about how much fun a sportsbike is to ride, compared to a naked. The wind protection and aerodynamics of a sportsbike make up for being blown around by the wind of a naked. IMO a sports is more comfortable than a naked, even though it's a more aggressive seating position. Pity Yamaha haven't developed a sport version of their MT07 (aussie LAMS). CBR650R might be my next bike!

cbr650rとcb650r、どちらも日本の道に合った良いバイクです。日本の免許制度の関係上、大型自動二輪初心者がリッターバイクへ乗りたがる傾向がありますがCbr650r&cb650rは、その性能と取り回しの良さで中堅〜ベテランライダーが乗っている人が多いです。ちなみに日本の免許制度は401cc〜無制限が大型、126〜400ccまでが普通、51〜125ccまでが小型二輪と分かれております。

The Cbr650r is imo one of the best looking bikes ever made. I never liked the way Honda Bikes looked previously. It's a shame we here in Australia are only getting the 35kw learner approved version of it here, 😥 At least that's what I heard. I absolutely dislike the 2018 CBR600RR's styling (I just can't stand the front end's look), hopefully we will get a new model eventually that looks more like the 650r...

Love these and have owned both , yes I'm mental. For me the neo version was great looking and more relaxed riding position. After a while I really began to love the sports look so opted for the change. It's 90% down to the look and rhe remainder is the position. Sports only being slightly more inclined. Just love the cbr650r now and plan on a change to a sports exhaust ... buy one

We need a comparison of the old 2006 Honda CB600F Hornet to the new CB650R, the bike is 13 years younger and is down 2.5 HP has identical torque numbers and weighs the exact same wet. The only thing that sets them apart is slightly larger brakes and fuel injection.

Well, you probably felt that way because the looks and ergonomics of the CBR, not because some minor superiority on very high revs. I own a CBR600F and a FZ6, and felt the same way, but on the engine side the power is so similar that you actually can mistake one for another. And I am talking about two different brands, imagine how subtle the changes are between these two you recorded. I am still not convinced to change one of my bikes for these new models though. But this Honda can make me at least think about.

@ 202kg The CB650R is slightly heavier than Triumph’s new Speed Twin, which surprised me; but the Honda is more that £3,000 cheaper which makes it attractive if you want a bike to have blast on fine days. It’s good to see attractive modern bikes. Perhaps there are enough retro bikes on the market now. I might miss having a centre stand for maintenance and cleaning.

Thanks for addressing. I heard that, riding in the sunlight, glare on the LCD display is an issue on the naked version. From the videos, it doesn't seem to be an issue on the faired version, as the display is surrounded by the fairing and windscreen, blocking some of the glare. Or maybe a good flyscreen on the naked version would solve this problem.

It is interesting for certain. But it is about $1500 more than the other "650's" in it's class if you talk the SV650, z650, and MT07. I guess if you want to compare it to the Suzuki GSX S750 if falls into that category (not talking about styling). I do like the looks and the fact that it has an inline 4. But a bit too pricey. Loved my 96" 4 cylinder Bandit 600. Only Honda, out of the big 4 japanese dealers, puts out a middleweight inline 4 in the 600-700cc range unfortunately. All the rest are two cylinders.
