Honda CBR 650F :: Review :: ZigWheels
The Honda CBR 650F is definitely among the most highly anticipated motorcycles of 2015, which was launched at the mega RevFest event recently. We ride the ...
+Johny Patrick although R6 is not a direct competitor to the CBR650F, It has been mentioned just to give an idea about how much weight could have been reduced. Ravi@ZigWheels
Yamaha R6 & CBR650F are from 2 different classes. Peg the R6 with the
CBR600RR, the middleweight super sports. Comparing their weight is not
fair. Overall a nice review.
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.
Also, try to attend a beginner track day. It'll teach you lots about how much your bike and tires can actually handle. Believe me, it's a lot more than the rider can. I did one last week and it was so worth it.
+Dead Pixel Always countersteer.Countersteers makes you lean. If slow enough, or if the turn is sharp enough, after leaning, then you'll steer. Just relax, get to a corner at a decent speed (say 50kph), and gently push forwards on the side you dont want to go to. You'll be amazed! Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlc1bGPTR3c
+CaptainOachkatzl So the CBR65f can be limited to the European A2 class licenses, which can only ride up to 48hp, and the bikes can be restricted down... IF they have no more than double the original power (meaning you can only restrict a 96hp bike down to the 48hp A2 class, and not any more powerfull bikes).
+CagerOnTwoWheels well you are still just as loud as ever its just I couldn't hear the bike. Thank you though, I thought my ears were just being stupid again.
A seat of the pants review of the 2015 Honda CB500X. A great learners bike that can last after you get your license on it. It has the ability to go on light off road, ...
A good review and I certainly would agree with most, if not all the points
you made. I purchased mine a couple of months ago from 'Big Bike Honda'
here in Denpasar, Bali and they had a beautiful black one shipped for me
from Honda in Thailand. As you rightly say it will do anything want within
the 500cc range. If you're looking for a super sport them look elsewhere.
That said it has power and balance and handles the mountain roads of Bali
with no problems. Pot holes, no problem. Monsoon rain, no problem. 85f
temperatures no problem. I'm a big fan of your vlogs and skill sets so it
felt really good to hear you say it really could have done with a gear
indicator. I no longer feel so bad searching for the 7th gear that doesn't
exist! If any one wants to look or test drive the latest model update just
give Angky or Ruben a call at Big Bike Honda, Bali. Looking forward to
another year of great vlogs from you. Good luck with the Canadian winter.
+John Jones Thanks for the kind words. I hope to keep putting up some of these real world tests on, as long as the guys keep letting me look at their bikes. Winter is half done, so hopefully we'll be on in a couple months.
I've had my 2014 X for a year now. It's my commuter vehicle. Put 8500 miles
on it and am on 2nd set of tires. I agree with the reviewer. It's been a
rock solid machine. I don't abuse it, but neither has it been coddled and
I've had no mechanical issues. I'm 6' with 33" inseam and I'm find the 31"
seat height to be just right. Mileage is 66 USmpg. It will kick if needed
for passing, but otherwise it's very predictable and easy to put in the
corners. It's my first street bike, so I don't have a comparison. But from
what I hear from the reviews, it's one of the best choices in its class.
Very happy with it.
+Jay Reynolds 2016 version looks great. Big Bike Honda Bali showed me some shots of it. The redesigned face looks awesome, fit to front an exocet missile. If I recollect they've broadened the colour options available.
+Jay Reynolds..You will flat foot it sitting down. I'm 6'1" and can flat foot it standing without sinking the bike down by sitting on it. Sitting down I could flat foot it with considerably bent legs. I'm 34" inseam, but trust me.
+Jay Reynolds As far as I remember I was very close to flat footing it, and I have a 30" inseam. I am not the shortest person out there, but Ii'm pretty close. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the review. I bought one in April and have already clocked up
over 9000 km (5500 mls) on it as I use it for commuting to work, but it is
now parked as the weather has turned. I also had a seat lowering kit fitted
as I am only 5ft 3. I am really happy with it.
+Evelyn Souza Ferreira I'm sure you are going to love it.
1979 Honda Elsinore CR125, Xtreme Raceways, Alix Alberta
LOVE the bike, not overly impressed with my riding. I'd never ridin' the bike until I pulled it off the trailer for this event. Quick carb clean and it was good to go.
Wahoo! Gotta love the way you used the big front wheel to float around
Grier in the whoop section, then slammed the door in his face and left him
in the dust! Red rockets rule!
always love ur videos man. how does it compare to the XJ6? in terms of
power delivery n bike height that is. Tried out the XJ6 a while back - the
bike belongs to our mutual friend Basri (HP guy who just resigned), the
bike's height suits me well as im about the same height as Basri is.
wondering if this bike is taller.
then again, thx in advance, n keep shooting these awesome vids man!
Cool, yeah he become his own boss now, good for him. :) I haven't fully tried the XJ6, but I think they are both roughly about similar in height, for power delivery, I can't comment on the XJ6 but again my assumption would be they are roughly similar as well. It would be a good idea to try sitting on both and see which you are more comfortable with. Thanks for viewing!
5:19 I thought you were posing by an empty bus. Suddenly you start riding
lol idk why but that's just badass, u talking while being filmed 3rd
person. I watch tons of motovlogs and that's a first for me. Well done.
Excellent review! You gave us all the important information that people
need to know when thinking of a new purchase-positioning on bike, leg
length etc things that a lot of other reviewers don't bother with. Great
job, thank you.
Honda's lightweight, entry-level motorcycle is great for urban riding and backroads. But the 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine might feel a bit ...
Who needs saddle bags? Bikes were meant for riding, not for hauling. I'm
having a tough time deciding between the 500's and the Yamaha WR250R
pseudo-dirtbike. My heart says Yamaha but my brain says 500F. I'm 6 foot
and 200 lbs so the tall seat height of the 250R is no big deal for me.
+Marielle ForgotMyLastName: The 300 is a nice bike, but I think a more mature beginner might be better served by the 500. It's bigger, and looks and feels like a more substantial motorcycle; in facts, it's physically larger and heavier than the CBR600RR. Most important, though, the 500 is substantially more powerful than the 300, but that power is very friendly, very manageable. To me, that makes it a great bike for new (or returning) riders, and one that many riders will never outgrow.
+Marielle ForgotMyLastName Oh, I don't mind lubing a chain or replacing a stretched one. It's not as bad as cracking open the engine and checking valves and crap!
+GT6SuzukaTimeTrials No, I mean a belt as in the drive system, as opposed to chain drive or shaft drive. I would rather have a good belt than a chain cause it requires much less maintenance. Shaft drive is the best for that sort of thing, but then you would have to really change the design of the bike instead of having just a few different parts :)
+Marielle ForgotMyLastName The NC700X...Hmm...Can't beat the helmet storage and mpg. It seems like the perfect motorcycle for people like you who ride scooters. I think I'll get my feet wet on a 250R or 300F for a year or two and then step up to the FZ-07 or a 600cc supersport.
+GT6SuzukaTimeTrials What I really want is the NC700X with the DCT, but that's a ways off for me. If you have enough money, I would really recommend getting it. That thing is pure awesome. It's upwards of 7k, but it's totally worth it, assuming you can afford it and don't mess the thing up lol
+Marielle ForgotMyLastName Oh you're under 25 huh? I'm 31 and have never rode a motorcycle. I do ride a bicycle every day though lol... Yeah the FZ-07 is about a grand more than the 500F but you get so much for that extra money, and it weighs 23 lbs less than the Honda. I think I just sold myself on the FZ-07, but it wouldn't be wise to make that my first bike, or would it.......For you, the 500F makes the most sense, for sure.
+GT6SuzukaTimeTrials I checked out the yamaha and it looks like a good bike, but it's more expensive than the 500. Yeah, it's also got a bigger engine, but I don't think I'll need that much power. Plus I'll have to pay more for insurance cause of the engine size :(
+Marielle ForgotMyLastName I could live with a 300 for years. If I was going to get a Honda 500F, then I would just get the Yamaha FZ-07. That bike is, in my opinion, the ultimate naked bike from which I would never need to upgrade to a bigger bike. If I did buy the 500F, I would soon regret not getting the Yamaha. But I could always see there being room for a Honda 250 or 300 in my life. I like cheap, small, lightweight, underpowered things. It's why I drive a Miata.
+GT6SuzukaTimeTrials The 300 would probably be slightly better to learn on, but just cause it's a little bit lighter and not quite as fast I guess. I've been riding a honda helix for years now and I need something faster. I was looking at the the 300 cause it's max speed would be enough for me, but for roughly 1k more I can get more power to work with without much added to weight. The 300 is probably better to learn on, but I can't afford to buy and use motorcycles like disposable pens. I need something that I will use for years and years. Idk, that's my take on it :)
+GT6SuzukaTimeTrials You don't need to get the extra space from honda and get ripped off. You can the same quality stuff from givi for a small fraction of the cost. Plus not everyone, including me, wants to race the things. I'm hoping to get this thing cause it can be made practical at a relatively low cost.
Yoshimura R77 Slip-On for my Honda CB300F
Pretty long video of my unpacking, install, and sound tests with the new Yoshi Exhaust for my CB300F. Timestamps below. Yoshimura: ...
+DaBrute Very true. Im still working on editing skills and really knowing what is needed and what isn't. I figured more is better than less as you can skip through if youd like.
+didactic polymath I first tried doing it in red with painters tape and it was terrible. I got on the stanchions and pretty much anywhere that I didn't cover 100% correctly. the white I took apart and did each piece separately.
+didactic polymath Fairings painted with plastidip. I originally did white to make a base coat for a bright red, but I wound up liking the white a bit more on it.
+Taijean Moodie Most of my rides are about 20 minutes long. That, combined with my helmet, and a quiet-ish exhaust means I don't get much noise into my ear. I have earplugs for the gun range that I will wear when doing group rides, but there really isn't a reason for my normal commutes. Even the wind noise going 60+ mph isn't as bad as 20mph on my bicycle. Hahaha.
+Jeremy Rugan The brap without the silencer hurt my ears while riding. Since I come home at 13:30 am some times I didn't want it making neighbors too angry. Hahaha.
