noo... that cannot be the CB1000R replacement... nooooo.... NOOOOOOOOO

fast buy 2nd hand cb1000r now.. got chance become rare unit

I rather get the current bike. I prefer the round headlamp rather than the new one.
The e clutch doesn't seem like much for me since I don't do zoomies and I kinda like playing with the clutch. And I don't wanna pay more just for some headlamp change which I don't like in the first place. Their e clutch is still new so I am afraid it might not be that good in terms of reliability

On its look, I think I don't mind both the models design, won't mind the sharper tail light too, but agree with you that it is personal, I don't mind the front headlamp design. Meanwhile on the air intake, I think I prefer the current one too, but to be fair, we haven't seen the new one in real life yet also. Who knows I might like it. Hehe

On e clutch, I think it is kinda interesting one to have and you have the flexibility in terms of whether you want to use the clutch or not. On reliability, I think I can trust Honda that they have put in many hours behind it in making sure it is tested and proven before selling to the mass market.

But the one thing that I really like is the new full color tft, which you can't retrofit it on the current bike....

So in terms of availability of the new bike I get mixed response that it would be available by mid next year or another guy told me by the end of next year....

Even changed from the sexy single swingarm to, this.. gosh.

2021 Cb650r owner here. I love bike because of 4pot, small in size n the hp it churn out and not forgetting the price.

I dislike top down is heavy, my previous z900rs also double disc does not feel as heavy.

Anyone can ride straight fast, even corner. Am now learning to better handle the bike by riding slow, to try master full lock at each turn. Not easy, all the utube looks easy but in fact not easy with these bikes. Practise n practise is the only way.

isnt that cb650 the current ongoing model?

from what i see from their FB they're doing better job than the PJ big wing in getting more bikes...

wonder if their service is better than BWPJ or not, (claims/servicing etc) since they have pretty bad reviews when they were selling triumph bikes back then. wonder how is it now

yeah la,

the latest model they say mao at least 2025 ...
but im sure europe n other place will get it in 2024
so the old left over will push to place like msia la..
n they wish can clear it faster, so mebe will hv stock mali...

tehoice at this rate ur gona wait forever

yeah 12 months wait at least i think. anything earlier = bonus.

can I spoil it for you? the engine is weak, and it has quite tall gearing

the fun wears off quite quickly, can get bored of it rather quickly

you always stay low rpm then feel weak lor,
need to perah high rpm let the horses come out mar.

I like the tall gearing to be frank, but because it's 650cc, it will feel underpowered after a while
I like the bike ever since gen1 with the conventional forks, and followed in til gen2 with the gearing changes

Now I have a Honda... scooter

lagi stok mali wor!

only at bigwing pj or other bigwing also same?

dono wor, tis fastbike fb

are you referring to a specific model? the older or the new 2024 model? they are sharing the same engine, no?

but for me enough la 500cc and above and 92 horses. good enough.
