I got a ninja 650 a couple months ago, and I love it, but I can't deny that 4 cylinder engines are waaaaaaaaaaaay better in performance and sound, that scream at higher revs sends chills down my spine

@@FoAmY99 yes but not only that, the 600s class is labelled as "high risk" so prices are higher, even higher than 1000s, my dad pays around 200/400€ a year for his 1000, can't really remember well now. Also, here in Italy we have a law that allows the parent to have their son to pay less for some insurance reasons, otherwise I would've paid around 800€/year

one of the best comparision videos in the world…keep it up bro…
I really enjoyed this comparison! I had to do a little math to convert from metric though. And thanks for including the sound sample of each bike that really made the comparison complete!
I have the cbr500r currently. Will upgrade to 650r in a couple years. I love that 4 cylinder sound 🔥🔥🔥

Excellent format bro, I love this videos.
Wife has a Ninja 650, I have a CBR650F. Engine in the Honda is much sportier feeling and the bike feels very planted at speed. Downsides are its a bit heavier and in traffic you need to give it some revs or risk stalling. Ninja 650 is lower seat height, lighter, all the controls feel lighter and its easier to ride around in the city. Engine is rough in sound and power delivery is a bit jerky, and very on/off at slower speeds, but you do have low down torque so you can pull away just with the clutch. Wouldnt bother with an exhaust on the ninja as its just gonna make a bad sounding engine louder. Akra on the honda makes it sound amazing. Honda suspension is also firmer and better damped than Ninja, Ninja dives quite a lot under braking but overall more comfortable as a commuter and easier to handle in town. The Honda is a bit more aggressive/sporty posture and the CBR650R has been made more aggresive still (but neither are full sports bike). I bought the Honda for the engine - inline 4s sound amazing, power delivery is super smooth and they rev much higher. Was disappointed by the Ninja the first time I rode it, the bike looks great but the engine is like a tractors.

Appreciate the info… yeah can’t get over the inline 4 sound… wins me over every time!
Love your vids, such a deep and thorough analysis that's presented in a great way. Love it! The sound of cbr is superior and hard to resist compared to Ninja's imo.
I wanted a Honda bc it’s a Honda, but I went for the Kawasaki as it’s what I find more practical for me
Both great bikes, but also very different engine types, 2 cylinder vs 4. Cool comparison, thanks. Really nice presentation as usual. On my '21 Ninja 650, I can get just over 200 miles from a full 4 gallon tank till .2 left, with average freeway/backroads riding each time, which is really good for a 419 lb. (with fuel) non-abs version bike. I've seen reports of 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, but top speed is about 126 mph, 131 maybe down a long hill. It hits 100 fast, but 120 takes over 10+ seconds to reach I'd say. Really fun bike, and the TFT display is nice too.

I enjoyed the comparison, I am looking at both these as well as the Kawasaki Ninja sx and the new Suzuki gsx 1000. I am 56 years old have ridden sport bikes since they came out. I am looking to replace a Honda ST1300 which is supper heavy, I'm looking to go lighter with a more upright sitting position. Any suggestions would be great and if there are other bikes in this category I appreciate any info....not a fan of a naked bike especially need a windshield in Texas

The problem with the these 2 are they are sp tall. I had a Tiger 850 but with bad knees couldn't hardly get my leg over them. I have ridden Kawasaki 1000 sx and the 650 which fits into what I want pretty good. I am always looking for options though. I gave looked at the Yamaha FJ09 as well but have not ridden it yet. Thanks for replying
That cbr sounds badass
That horrible sound of parallel twin is a dealbreaker for me 😢 can’t imagine hearing it every ride
The ninja can't compete with the sound of the 4 cylinders of the cbr. Not a chance
l hope that they have part and thay is not expesive like cf moto ones becouse l plan to buy one of that bikes in Europe

It will be super-amazing if ninja 650 got 4cylinder and it doesn't even have to go that high on the rev. count.

What type of softwer you are using for?
Kawasakos body looks racier but the handle bar position ruins it for me, the hondas are in a perfect place, sportier than a standard not quite super sport.
Better off getting a clean 2nd hand model of either one of these. They both are super cheap. The CBR F4i is just as much as if not more capable than the current 650. Just no electronic tech. Take the saved cash and put it into performance mods. And if its the Ninja 650 your after which is more beginner friendly, the motor hasn't changed. Used can be found DIRT cheap. Perfect beginner bike. The only thing your paying for is basically the modern looks. The older are less restrictions, easier to free up extra power, etc. After 25yrs of riding on the street/track i promise you your not missing out on any performance with the older ones. My S1000RR which is one of my current bikes, i dont even use or need most of those electronics. For the F4i theres so many aftermarket upgrades but all you really need is a end can, race air filter and fuel controller. Youll smoke that 650 and be more comfortable doing it.
street triple rs 2023 next please
Cbr650 price is rivaling Z900 in my country...
