CBR650R Features
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, 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, allowing you to command 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 E-Clutch
E-Clutch is the best of all worlds: You’ll still be shifting your bike with your left foot, but you no longer have to use the handlebar-mounted clutch. And if you want the control the clutch lever gives you, it's still there. Plus, it performs like a quick-shifter—something hard-charging sport riders will love.
Honda Selectable Torque Control
With HSTC, confidence is on-demand. 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, this year's bike features an updated design perfect for everything from urban commuting to spirited canyon rides, seamlessly merging comfort and cool.
Sporting riding position
The 650R's riding position is comfortable enough for weekday use and aggressive for weekend sport rides. It truly makes you feel like you're part of the bike.
LED headlight
The eye-catching dual-lens LED headlight casts a powerful beam. It’s brighter and smaller than a conventional design and contributes significantly to the bike's overall sense of style.
