I bought this bike, then sold it and bought 8 other bikes, all styles from Sport R versions to Adventure to Cruisers and i ended up buying the CB650R again, all around it's probably in the top 3 best bikes on the market. I came full circle. Great Bike.

The new 2021 Trident will probably be aiming at this mid-range market. Plenty of publicity about the Trident right now.

I did put a Matte screen protector on the dash and it improved a lot

Nice review bro!

First thing I’d did on mine is a tail tidy and bar end mirrors plus a phone mount. Great bike replaced my ninja 650 another great bike, I love Japanese bikes!

BEAUTIFUL BIKE! WOW!

I look forward in your next video for the upgrad..

Excellent review! Could you please share details on the transparent tank pad? (brand, model, etc).

I have this windshield coming but I got second thoughts. Do you think the bike losses its character and gets ugly wearing this?

2020 model and they still haven’t fixed the screen

Beautiful  bike

Add quick shifter

I played the aaah game with this video and now I am drunk.

I live outside of jackson TN. Bobs house of Honda couldn't get me a CB650R so I drove your way and went to Desoto Honda in Olive Branch and bought a 2021 CB650R around 2 months ago. Man I love this bike!

Beautiful bike very good choice . Can you lower the seat?

Great honest review👍🏻 I can confirm basically everything you said, I am enjoying my 2 week old 2020 CB650R and it’s my first bike. I am in Canada, I’ve put over 1000kms  on it already and can’t get enough. I got the quick-shifter installed shortly after purchase as well.
Funny you mentioned the red colour being your only option, it was the one I wanted but they were all sold out so I settled with the the black and it has really grown on me, very stealthy looking, that blue is a sweet colour too but not available up here. Any ways, great bike, gear review, I highly recommend this bike for anybody in this price range👍🏻

This is an honest genuine review I really liked it. It would do an indicared 72 mph on speedo in 1st but the speedo is a shocking 7.2% off.
I agree, brakes on this bike are awesome. This bike inspires confidence and it's a pleasure to ride. It has its issues like the helmet lock I hate it. I didn't have any problems with the headlight brightness but the headlight beam is adjustable. You will get a lot of thumbs up and compliments on how beautiful the bike is. The front wheel does come up a tiny bit even with traction control  if you rev it up in 1st and you are low on fuel but the tractoon control wont let it go up beyond a certain point. Overall your review was very genuine and honest.
One thing I have heard but I haven't been able to confirm  is that this bike makes different horse power in different countries as ECU is mapped differently  I am not talking about A2 restricted bikes, I am talking about the full power bike. I have seen vidoes of this bike hitting an indicated 150 mph. I messaged the dude but he never responded. I don't see that ever happening on my bike not sure why but would be interesting to find out if it's true, max I seen was an indicated 131mph  sitting upright on my bike.
Get an exhaust man..4 cylinder screamers are all about exhaust note; it's a totally different experience riding this same bike with a good exhaust note; you would love it lol.

Thanks for this detailed video. VERY HELPFUL on decision making what motorcycle to buy next. BRAVO

Do you have a like to the frame slider or cage you mentioned?

I've been told you can put a slip on exhaust instead of a full system. Anyone have more on that please?
