Hi Mark, really enjoy your bike reviews I'm almost tempted to move to Bournemouth - yes totally agree the bargain prices of this bike either new or used or naked are amazing - riding position is absolutely comfortable. Rider modes not really needed - the engine breaking on this bike is exemplary - i hardly use the brakes on the open roads - Honda have perfected this bike to the point where - well, you couldn't really improve it much more - in fact the only reason a rider may change this bike to something else - is - because there's nothing wrong it. I' 5' 4" and am on my tip toes but this bike feels so weightless!! Engine sounds so sweet. For anyone interested there's a CBR forum full of support and handy tips for new owners

Hi Mark, just discovered your channel and I must say I’m hooked! I’ve not been riding consistently for around 3 years, but my beloved 2003 red and black 636 Ninja is starting to look a little tired and although I don’t want to say goodbye I will probably be in the market for something newer in the next 18 months. (Had her since I was 21 and now 33) In your opinion for someone like me, doing a nice bit of weekend riding and the odd evening out/blasts with friends during nice weather months - would you recommend this or the Ninja 650? Am also looking at something like the GSXS1000 or Z1000 but also part of me doesn’t see the point in having something that huge. Would appreciate any advice and thanks again for your quality content!

Very informative review. You have developed a very good style. Like it a lot. For this bike itself I would never have given it a second look if you hadn't reviewed it. You're right it seems very competitively priced for what it offers and looks ok. I am guessing it doesn't have riding modes given the price and that you didn't mention any. I guess it has ABS as all bikes have to have ABS now. Traction control or not? Just a very basic bike? Btw have you done a review of the new Fireblade?

Nice review as always. I picked mine up a couple of months ago and as you say, it's all day comfortable. No aches or pains and I'm the wrong side of 60. As for the fuel consumption, I'm obtaining around 57mpg overall. I don't think you'd have your licence very long if you were averaging 45mpg. Overall, I'm very pleased with it. It rides very well and I also think it looks fantastic. I was thinking of buying an adventure style bike, but the first time I saw it, the looks were just too good to resist.

Hi Mark - watched a few of your reviews now and I've really enjoyed them. I have a GSXR 750 and its starting to hurt too much! Still want that sportsbike "look" so looking at the CBR650R or the Ninja 650. Love the look of them both, but more leaning to a CBR as it seems to have more of the sportsbike feel and performance. One thing I'd love to see you add to your reviews is the luggage capabilities of each bike. For example - I'm not expecting to load the CBR650R up like a full tourer but just a quick look at how a tailpack or tankbag would fit on would be really useful. Cheers

That i3 is a gem, quite powerful. They should make a full fairing sport tourer like this with that engine. A little more weight and a slightly more leaned forward position might help make it a little bit more manageable...

interesting with the ride position, was expecting it to be sports like.

Would you say the 650 would be sluggish restricted due to its extra weight and i4. I still want moderate acceleration rather than a top end. The mt07 is pure fun but lacks the quality, would you say the acceleration on the 650 would still be adequate and fun?

Hi Mark how does this compare with your older CBR600f? Thinking of trading my Cbr600f4i in for one. Thanks

Hi Phil it's alot more refined / modern but no more fun than my older cbr ,about the same power ,tbh you won't gain a huge amount from your f4i ,if your bike is running well I'd say keep it ,but if it's definitely time to change it's a good value machine thanks Mark

If Honda were smart, they would use this platform to build a middle-weight GT to compete with Yamaha's new Tracer 7 GT. Honda's compact 4-cylinder 90 HP engine would have a decisive performance advantage over Yamahas parallel twin. Fit it with a larger adjustable windscreen, 31.5" seat height, 5 gal. tank, center stand, and integral soft paniers for an uncomplicated rock solid weekend Sport GT. Keep electronics basic and a price around $11,500 and you have a slam dunk sales success. Hello? BTW: Dump the boring NC750X that has a seat height 1" higher than the 650R making it too tall for average size riders.

Great comment ....thanks ! :)

It seems like the better way to go over the Kawasaki if power is what you are looking for. Am I right to say that?

Hi yes it's quite a bit more powerful than the Ninja 650 90hp vs 65hp ,but the ninja will feel a bit more punchy low down Thanks Mark

bought it

Mark, If you have access to test Honda motorbikes; make a change from Sports Bike and test the Honda Rebel 500 please.

Went out for a half hour test on one of these last month, stayed out for 90 minutes and only started to get a bit uncomfortable towards the end, easily a 250-300 mile a day tourer which can blow you away in the twisties as well. The one I tested had a heavy clutch for my liking, maybe a problem with the individual bike? I'll find out in the spring, I'm ordering a 2020 model in March...
