Few motorcycles can claim to be exceptional at all things, but the Honda CB650R is one bike that stands out from the rest. It starts with the inline-four engine, oozing with power and begging to be revved. Then there’s the seating position, placing you more upright for long-distance comfort. Perhaps the best part is the ‘Neo Sport’ styling, offering a modern take on the naked sportbike with waterfall-style headers, wide handlebars and LED lighting front and back and ABS as standard.
The result is a naked middleweight designed for maximum pride and pleasure of ownership.
- PREMIUM HANDLING - 41mm USD front forks, Honda Selectable Torque Control and ABS
- LIGHTWEIGHT AND NIMBLE - 202kg and 810mm seat height
- UNIQUE MINIMALISTIC STYLING - ‘Neo Sports Café’ design
- RESPONSIVE AND ECONOMICAL - 649cc, DOHC 16-valve engine with PGM-FI
Tightly wrapped and aggressive, the CB650R's Neo Sports Café style features the signature compact "trapezoid" proportion of short, stubby tail and short-overhang headlight. The long fuel tank is a key motif of the family design; its smooth lines accentuate the solidity of real metal surfaces and crown the engineering of the four-cylinder power plant.
Sharp new LCD instruments also use the CB1000R as a baseline and include Shift Up, Gear Position and a Peak Hold indicator.
The round headlight is based on that of the CB1000R. It's LED, as is the rest of the lighting.
The exhaust now features a larger bore tail pipe inside the muffler to flow more gas and, with its exit pipe angled upward, to emit an emotional howl.
An assist/slipper clutch is a new addition and eases upshifts while managing rear-wheel lock up under rapid downshifts. Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) manages rear-wheel traction; it can be turned off should the rider choose.
