Conclusion - what sticks

Above all, it sticks that the CBR is a bike suitable for everyday use, but this does not reduce the driving pleasure in the least - on the contrary: Just because the CBR is so sociable, it is a lot of fun to athletes with it through the area. Apart from that, we also find them really beautiful, like almost all athletes. Now we also understand why our YouTube users have been in our ears for years, we finally want to test the Honda CBR 650 R. Check, ham' we did, was actually worth it, thanks for the tip.
 
By the way, the test bike was provided to us by motofun, a large Honda dealer from Kaltenkirchen near Hamburg. There, the CBR stands as a demonstrator in black and waits for test drivers. Go ahead, Nico and his team are looking forward to your visit!
