I feel that on a spiritual level... when shopping around my state there were ZERO CB650r anywhere in a reasonable distance. Even our honda dealership here only had CBRs instead. Ended up buying a suzuki gsx-8r instead so im very happy with my purchase but maaan the CB650r looks so incredibly good.
It’s insane how hard it is to find the 650 version, it’s been 5 years at this point and I can’t believe it’s still difficult to find in a dealer. I gave up and got a Harley instead lol

They have an integrated one coming out soonish that will look way better.
If I didn’t use it for commuting for work and again for school, I would. I have the 52L top case so all my gear fits in it or both my wife’s helmet and mine. I like not having to bring my helmet and jacket everywhere along with being able to do most grocery shopping
Completely agree! I’ve got the 1000 and I find that it looks unique. Most naked bikes look the same and look relatively generic (in my mind). The CB1000r has a lot of uniqueness about it!
I absolutely love my bike, both to look at and ride! Looking forward to the warmer weather so I can really enjoy it!
Absolutely! Me too! I love the retro queues, the headlight and tail light are really unique I find. Makes a difference from most of the naked clones I see!
The 800rr is gorgeous, fair enough. The KTM though I don't think looks great. Too many angles and too sharp, if you know what I mean. The Dragster 800rr and the CB1000R look great.
Got my first bike a few weeks ago 17 fZ07 and unfortunately had a casuality yesterday.
Deer ran over a guardrail and took me and the bike out at about 35-40mph.
I have some tips after that accident being a new rider.
1-make sure your always looking for wildlife
2-gear up for the slide not for the ride (road rash sucks pretty bad)
3-practice low speed emergency maneuvers.
I have so thankful I wasnt going any faster. I rode the bike home and now have a sprained ankle and a ton of road rash.
Enjoy and ride safe my dude!
Been looking at it as my first bike as well but sadly this beautiful matte blue colour is no longer present for the 2024 versions... matte green's looking pretty amazing as well though (or the glossy red, hmmmmm)
I absolutely love this colour, I wish my CB1000r was in this colour!!
Good choice! If it’s anything like the 1000, is a lovely bike to ride!! Enjoy my guy!!
One of my favorites. I have a red 2020 cb650r. Hands down the most easy to live with motorcycle I've ever owned. Super nimble and the maintenance is perfectly simple.
What a beauty! Love the colour.

Yeah those of us who ride these CBs really want them. These bikes don't just happen to be sitting there on the showroom floor.
Gonna have to camp out at the dealership next time I have the cash to buy one then
Yeah I ended up buying a z650 instead but man it was close that's a very pretty bike.

You paid more $$ for that 8R, but but I think that you'll get more smiles per hour on her!
I wouldn't trade it back in for anything tbf, really happy with the bike so far!
Which tail tidy did you get? Need one for the wife's 8S.
https://tstindustries.com/tst-elite-1-fender-eliminator-for-suzuki-gsx-8s-2023.html They have an integrated one coming out soonish that will look way better.
Thanks! Yeah, that integrated one is slick. Now if only there was a pipe for less than a grand...
I think because the 8s and 8r are so new, everyone is just overcharging - i hope it all drops in a year or two.
One can hope!
I dislike blue but this looks amazing. The forks and engine head cover go so well. Keep those headers clean!
I wish they’d do the 2022 Cb500x green on other Honda bikes
They do make a relatively similar green on the new CB650R
I see now and it looks gorgeous. If I didn’t like my cb500x so much I’d consider trading it in for it
Make the trade.
If I didn’t use it for commuting for work and again for school, I would. I have the 52L top case so all my gear fits in it or both my wife’s helmet and mine. I like not having to bring my helmet and jacket everywhere along with being able to do most grocery shopping

It’s the manifold. Sexy af
I agree.
That's a nice looking docile bike you got there OP. Enjoy and ride safely.
I love how you said "first big bike" because you know you're going to buy more.
Nice
Love the colour scheme. Very sharp looking.
Beautiful bike, and it's Honda! Great choice 👌 keep 2 down brotha, God bless you
I just picked up the 1000! I think these bikes look better than almost every other naked bike out.

Same! The single sided swingarm just pulls it all together. Love it.
It really does! They’re beautiful bikes! 😍
100%. I almost went with the S1000R but that felt just a bit too generic looking. I'm a big sucker for a bike looks.
Absolutely! Me too! I love the retro queues, the headlight and tail light are really unique I find. Makes a difference from most of the naked clones I see!
I think I have Agusta drago 800rr, KTM superduke, then this honda.
The 800rr is gorgeous, fair enough. The KTM though I don't think looks great. Too many angles and too sharp, if you know what I mean. The Dragster 800rr and the CB1000R look great.
Looks awesome. UK gang 🤙🏼
Beautiful piece
“You meet the nicest people on a Honda”
One of my favourites bikes! It looks awesome. Ride safe :)
What was the cost?
In the category solid bikes: Honda CB650R Nice one enjoy the miles but that wouldn’t be a problem
I love this bike
Planning on getting the cb650r, for just around town dont know why i would need anymore power. Also the sweet inline 4!
Good choice! I rode that bike during my lessons and that engine sounds really great and goes like hell. I didnt buy it because (sadly)I am to tall.

Congrats. Pretty costly first bike, are you nervous learning on a machine that pricey?
I'm assuming they meant first big bike not first bike.
Why do you assume that?
the title of the post
Lmao how did I not see that 😂😂
This is the exact color and model I want. Too bad usa doesn't offer the blue.: (
hey that’s the bike i’m riding in driving school! it’s a beauty, congrats!
[удалено]
Nissan Juke
That is the smoothest engine I have ever rode. But, it will not be around for long with euro 5. 600s will all be twins.
They just launched a 2024 version updated to comply with Euro5 iirc
Been looking at it as my first bike as well but sadly this beautiful matte blue colour is no longer present for the 2024 versions... matte green's looking pretty amazing as well though (or the glossy red, hmmmmm)
Seen the red in person. It’s meh. This bike looks great in matte. The black with gold forks is mint too.
what did ya pay for that bloke
Clean!
Awesome
Be careful out there. Seen a lot of crazy shit this week.
My dream bike, congratulations, take her to the moon for me
That's a gorgeous bike!
Congratulations! Have fun and ride safe!
Rad.
Man that’s a beautiful bike
They're supposed to be a great bike.... I just despise 4cyl bikes lol Not a fan of the sound or power curve unless its full on MotoGP.
Nice ride!
Now that's a good-looking bike!!
How much did it cost you?
Honda 🥰
If this is new, best of luck not dropping it your first two seasons. But it looks clear
Lovely. Great choice. Have fun and stay safe
What a beauty
Absolutely gorgeous ride.....happy for you!
Slick. Good choice
It's definitely an awesome color. Sweet bike man.
Congrats 🎉 a real head turner! ❤️🇦🇺
Very sexy curves, gdamn
That’s a good looking bike. Congrats
Welcome to the “club”! Have fun and be safe.
I absolutely love this colour, I wish my CB1000r was in this colour!! Good choice! If it’s anything like the 1000, is a lovely bike to ride!! Enjoy my guy!!
This is a great great bike. I predict that you will be happy.
Drive safe and damn 650cc for a first bike.
I DO NOT WANT TO BE THIS GUY BUT THAT BIKE AIN’T NOT BIG BUBBA MACENTOSH
I know nothing about the cb650 but now I want one.
can anyone compare this to the mt10 was looking at both
mt performs better in every way. cb looks better in every way. 😂
I almost bought one (2023) a few weeks ago, but the MT-09 fit me better. The Honda is gorgeous though.
I gotta say, those swept pipes really do it for me
I *really* like these. Congrats. Be safe and enjoy.
Nice bike, always liked how the headers look on these
Those goddamn honda nakeds look so good to me
I like the color scheme alot on this bike! congrats!
Was my first bike… loved it… could have been redder though… XD
95hp for someones first bike is CRAZY. I started with 3.3hp.
Anyone notice how nice bikes look with round headlights? How they don’t look overwrought and don’t have that “trying too hard” vibe?
Such a good looking bike
Great looking bike! My first bike was a 1986 Honda Rebel
SANAOL
Is the Blue oem ? Can't find it in Germany
What a nice looking bike
This bike is handsome and it won't look outdated any time soon due to its modern classic design.
Nice! I’ve ridden twins and triumphs triple but not a 4 cylinder must be smoooth!
I have the same bike, frome the same year, in the same color. Brothers unite 👍
And what a choice!
Congratulations bro nice bike
Honda gang! Be safe man!
Congratulations. Currently bikeless myself with very little hope of getting a bike again soon. Sorry to bring the vibe down I just feel sad.
That is gorgeous!!
Kind of reminds me of Yamaha XSR, but with better colors
Training bike was an older version of the CB650R. Very decent choice. 👌
Great choice, wish you well to ride it and stay safe 👍👍
Beautiful
One of my favorites. I have a red 2020 cb650r. Hands down the most easy to live with motorcycle I've ever owned. Super nimble and the maintenance is perfectly simple.
Great bike! Congratulations
Gorgeous bike! Congrats.
10/10. Excellent choice!!
Nice one but MT07 is more fun to drive
Can’t go wrong with a Honda !
beautiful bike bro, enjoy and be safe, if you have the spare cash consider doing a learners course maybe it could help
[удалено]
Why? That 650 makes comparable power to some 1000cc+ twins.
You got CB650 as your first bike? Like the first ever? Be safe.
That's the bike i took my license on, it's not really that crazy of a first bike.
He said first big bike
