      Starting on 650cc is a bit aggressive, but if you start on one, CB650R is probably the best one to do it on, as the full HP output is locked up-top. And if you take it easy as a beginner and mostly deal with 40-50hp under 6000rpm, then as you build confidence, you can start tapping into full power in higher rpms.

    I have the 2023 model and love it. Everything you say here is accurate. This bike is about as “beginner friendly” as a 95+ horsepower bike can be - it isn’t going to “jump off the line” at an intersection due to the low torque numbers at the bottom. But mine is unrestricted and it will fly for a street bike (not a supersport but will hit 150 mph) so it’s great at highway speeds. This puts it in the unique position as serving as a “long term” bike if you’re a daily rider like me as well as being okay to start IF YOU’RE MATURE in your decisions as a rider.

    • @AkaiCBR
      @AkaiCBR  Před 2 měsíci +1

    The CBR650R is technically everything that you need. The bike has plenty of power and it can get you in trouble if you don’t show respect. I have a CBR1000RR now and I miss the 650 . Why? Because it is comfortable and is a perfect sport touring bike

    The CBR650R is the perfect all-rounder: ample power, fuel-efficient, sporty but not overly so. It has everything you will ever need. I had one last year and I loved it. Unfortunately, I sold the bike a couple of months ago because I thought I needed an upgrade. So I bought the S1000RR. I love this bike as well, but if I'm honest, it's a little bit too much. The CBR650R is just the sweet spot. I miss it a lot. I'm considering trading again. :D

    Im 40 yo, located in South East Asia, where traffic is crazy, literally crazy tbh. I rode a few low-cc bikes (125-150) since I knew how to ride (around 16yo), then I jumped straight to 1000cc in 2015 with a 2011 Z1000, yep, crazy I know.
    Sold it to a friend due to not having time to ride, I mean, short/med trips (~2/300 kms). Riding high cc nakeds and super sport in city is torturing. It fries your balls in summer, red light stops (jk), left hand was like numbing after an hour of traffic jam, balls hurt too (jk). So I decided to just quit riding high cc bike at 2016. Im still using a 150cc scooter for daily commuting.
    Then back in 2019, a got gifted a Ducati Monster 693 from a friend, who doesn't ride, he quits too but hoped that I could take care of his Monster. I gladly accepted the gift, very nice sounding LTwins with Akapovich, but my nuts told me NO (lol). It's just too hot to endure more than 1 hour of riding, its air-cooled btw. I couldnt even bear to ride it in summer where its constantly on 38-40,C outside, so after a year or two the Ducati is now sit in my garrage, dead battery, and rotten chain.
    I have no idea why suddenly a new 2024 cbr650r ad got my attention for the e-clutch. Im now very interested in gettin one. I searched around yt, found your vid and others, but no one mentioned how hot/comfortable the engine is under your seat after a medium trip.
