CBR650R Picking up a new CBR650R

[Saddy]

Hi everyone, just joined my first Honda owners club. Very excited to get connected with Honda lovers from all over the world. Picking up the new CBR650R hopefully in the first week of April here in Toronto Canada. Order has been placed but timings are always off so fingers crossed.
Currently I ride a Kawasaki Ninja 300, so looking forward to the CBR. Love to hear and receive any feedback you all would like to share.

Hey there! I must say, I'm a little jealous. Getting a new bike is so exciting and that CBR650R just looks awesome to boot. Enjoy!

 

[Saddy]

Thanks Jerry, yes i am looking forward to it. Quite an upgrade for me going from 300 to 650, hoping i can handle that much power

Welcome! The extra 60+ horses will feel good...

 

[Saddy]

Thanks Baugustine, planning to take it easy the first couple of days so that i can get used to the extra ponies. But i have no self control ...lol...

Excellent upgrade! It's going to feel great!

Welcome S @Saddy!

 

[Saddy]

Thank you.

Welcome! I went from a Ninja 250R to the 650F. It will feel like a rocketship and you'll be amazed how much smoother the Honda is.

 

[Saddy]

Thank you Mike for the feedback. I am hoping its also as forgiving as my ninja 300. It has traction control so hopefully i wont run into a lot of issues.

Welcome! Don't worry, I made the step from 125 cc to CBR650R and I already did +2600km in 4,5 weeks. The engine is very smooth and reactive. You will love it before the end of the first street... .

Hi. Congrats on the R. Is any any vibration issues like the F?

 

[Hottep6153]

Congrats!

@victorkkq
I make only a testdrive on the CB650r (not CBR) , but i cant find any bad Vibs like my old CB 650F (2015) did!
So it seems that there a is real improvment.

So it should be the same for the CBR

Finally took delivery today. Apparently I am the 1st one in Canada to get it accordingly to the dealership. The bike looks awesome and it's so easy to ride. Love the power band. Huge upgrade from my ninja 300. Feel comfortable right away. Thanks everyone for your support and guidance.
