My Last Ride With the Honda CB 650 F

- This lovely Honda CB650F was initially bought by one of my relatives in June 2015. He's a very busy man, always working, often staying abroad for his work, and taking care of 3 kids at home. Unfortunately, even if he loved his bike, he very rarely had the opportunity to ride it. After a few weeks, he decided to entrust his bike to me, as he didn't want it to sit unused in his garage (see the video "This Is Not a New Bike Reveal" - • This is NOT a new bike... ). Finally he rode his CB650F not more than 7/8 times in 3 years. His best memory with his bike is our day trip to Normandy (see the video "Where Does It Flow To?" - • Where Does It Flow To? ).
As a consequence, I became the main user of this CB650F. This is really a great bike and I really enjoyed riding it regularly during 3 years. I have already made a review video about it (see • Honda CB 650 F Review ). If I had to make a long term review video now, I wouldn't have anything more to say about it, as my experience confirmed my initial feelings and I had absolutely no problem with this bike. However, even if it's a brillant bike and I loved riding it, I didn't really need it. Most times (3 times out of 4), when choosing what bike to take for a ride, I chose my own Honda CBF600NA (see the video "Honda CBF600NA - Owner's Review" - • My Motorcycle, the Hon... ). First, because they are very similar, but my CBF is slightly more confortable than the CB650F. Secondly, because I always kept in mind that the CB650F wasn't mine. I had great times with it anyway. My best memory is certainly my road trip to Burgundy (see the video "The Odonym" - • The Odonym ).
When a good friend of mine told me he has got his motorcycle licence and he wanted to buy his first bike, I suggested him to buy this CB650F. He tried it and immediately fell in love. The owner was a bit hesitant (even if he rarely rode it himself, he kept hoping he could later find more spare time to ride it), but he soon realized that selling it was the best decision. He didn't ride it, I didn't need it, but it will make its new owner a happy man...
To say goodbye to the CB650F, I took it for a last ride to the Chevreuse Valley, 40 km away from Paris ( goo.gl/maps/qr... ).

Brings back good memories. Nice curvy roads, scenery and company. The ride was a blast ;-). Thanks again and ride safe.
It was a shared pleasure! Glad to have met you again. Take care :)
C'est un bel adieu. Merci MrKiddo, et peut-être au revoir.
Merci Ed ! Oui, c'était une moto que j'ai eu plaisir à utiliser, alors j'ai essayé de lui rendre hommage en toute simplicité avec une belle balade. À bientôt ! 😊
If trading my bandit 1200 this or the sv650 would be my choice! Affordable reliable and fun!
That would be a great choice indeed... But I'm afraid you could miss the huge torque of the 1200cc engine 😉
To a happy owner too❤️❤️❤️
Yes, no doubt the new owner will have great times with it 😊
Awesome looking bike, to bad it had to go but it looks like it found a new good home :) What lovely weather you have! It already started to snow in my area :(
Thanks Gurra! 😊 Yes, the bike is in good hands. The video was recorded some time ago, and we are now enjoying a typical Parisian autumn weather... One day, it's 15°c and sunny 😎 The next day, it's 5°c with heavy rain and wind 🤧
Hi MrKiddo, thanks for taking us with you on this ride. It was surely a lovely and maybe also a bit of an emotional ride in it's own way. What a lovely country you live in, these roads look like paradise for bikers ;-) Great scenery as well. May i ask how many km the bike had on the odometer and how many km did you ride that afternoon/evening?
Anyway, the new owner now has a special and famous bike ridden by the French RJ ;-). Enjoy the EICMA and ride safe 👍👊
Hi Ray and thank you for your kind words! 😊 The CB650F had nearly 11,000 km on its odometer when sold. During my last ride, I went to the Chevreuse Valley, one of the very few areas around Paris where bikers can enjoy some curvy roads. It added 85-90 km on the odometer (full itinerary on Google Maps: goo.gl/maps/qrrmuLdNDAo ). Take care and ride safe ✌🏻
Lovely beautiful bike... I hope that the new owner will enjoy it :)
Yes, no doubt the new owner will have great times with it :)
Très bonne moto!!!! Comme je te l’avais dit j’ai la même ! Mais l’an prochain je pense acheter une Triumph speed triple rs. Bonne soirée
Ah ! Tu vas t'amuser avec une Speed Triple RS, excellent choix 😍 Bonne journée à toi ✌🏻
ce qui serait cool c'est des indications sur le parcours, les bâtiments, les sites et les monuments.
Un abonné m'avait aussi demandé ça il y a quelques années. Pour plusieurs daily observations, j'ai donc précisé en description les lieux et monuments apparaissant dans la vidéo, mais l'essai ne fut pas concluant : ça me prenait du temps de le faire et très peu de gens lisaient finalement. Du coup j'ai arrêté... Par contre, il y a dans la description un lien Google Maps indiquant mon itinéraire en détail 😉
ok, merci,je crois que c'était déjà moi l'abonné en question........
@@fxdx68 Peut-être ! 😄 Mais ça te convient le lien google maps ?
oui, super
Entre une cbf 600 n et cette cb650f, tu penses que la différence est flagrante ? Ça vaudrait le coup que je vende ma cbf 600 de 2005 pour une cb650f plus récente ? Ou je risque plutôt de me retrouver avec quasiment la même moto ?
Non, la différence n'est vraiment pas flagrante côté puissance et couple. Et tu risques même d'être déçu car la CB650F est un peu moins confortable que la CBF600... En plus, ton modèle 2005 est à carbu, c'est plus agréable qu'avec les injecteurs ;) Là ou la CB650F est clairement meilleure en revanche, c'est sur le freinage.
@@MrKiddoMoto merci à toi pour ton retour. Je lorgne également du côté de la cb 1100 rs, pour son esthétique folle, sa qualité de fabrication et des détails. Seulement elle reste quasi introuvable pour un essai
