DOHC Inline-four engine

The inline four-cylinder powerplant provides unrivaled smoothness and unmatched revving while abundant low-to-midrange torque is felt in every twist of the right grip.

Four-into-one exhaust

A good exhaust should silence the engine, fine-tune its power output, produce great sounds, and enhance the style. This four-into-one system excels in all areas, resonating perfectly as only an inline-four can.

Refined intake system

The twin-duct intake design is engineered to ram cool, dense air into the airbox, increasing horsepower.

Special engine tuning

Finely tuned valve timing and piston shapes improve engine response, especially from the idle to 8000 RPM. This delivers a big advantage in urban environments.

Twin-spar frame

A timeless design that Honda has perfected, the twin-spar frame is lightweight while forming a sturdy backbone and providing stellar handling.

Showa Big Piston fork

Showa's Separate Function Front Fork Big Piston (SFF-BP) design features light overall weight and increased rigidity, as well as customizable spring preload, rebound, and compression damping for the ultimate in confidence and control.

Radial-mount front brakes

Radial-mounted four-piston brakes feature effortless modulation, seamless linearity, and supreme power to provide you with command of the road.

Y-spoke aluminum wheels

Aluminum Y-spoke wheels reduce unsprung mass, and the increased agility surpasses what numbers suggest, resulting in a dynamic improvement with every turn.

Honda Selectable Torque Control

Confidence is on-demand with HSTC. It fine-tunes engine power to minimize rear-wheel slip and can be turned on or off via a convenient handlebar switch.

Six-speed transmission

The tailored gear ratios of the six-speed tranny provide seamless shifts that enhance your ride with precision and performance.

Slipper clutch

The assist slipper clutch lightens clutch operation by approximately 12 percent compared to previous designs, which reduces rear-wheel hop during rapid downshifts.

Sportbike styling

Purposeful and stylish, the versatile design is perfect for everything from urban commuting to spirited canyon rides, seamlessly merging comfort and cool.

Sporting riding position

Comfortable enough for weekday use while being aggressive enough for weekend sport rides, the 650R's riding position makes you truly feel like a part of the bike.

Instruments

In addition to the usual speedometer and tachometer, the full-flat instrument panel features an LCD readout with indicators for gear position, water temperature, upshift indicator, and more.

LED headlight

The eye-catching dual-lens LED headlight casts a powerful beam. It’s both brighter and smaller than a conventional design and contributes to the bike's overall sense of style in a big way.
