FROM BOREDOM TO THRILL AT FIRST SIGHT.

Every day is a journey. Start yours today with the CB650R. Distinctive performance of raw sports street fighters and stripped-down Neo Sports Café styling. The CB650R – with style, suspension and equipment updates – is ready to take you on an unforgettable, urban adventure.

FOUR-CYLINDER SOUNDTRACK

Rev the engine and feel the CB650R roar to life. Close your eyes and listen to the highly tuned, inline four-cylinder symphony, performed through sinuous exhaust downpipes and compact muffler. You’re ready to dominate the road 

LESS IS MORE

Minimum fuss, maximum motorcycle.

The CB650R features a sleek, streamlined design to match your sophisticated urban style. The bike’s ultra-compact, powerful stance channels the retro-minimalism of the CB1000R Neo Sports Café. It blends curved lines with taut angles and, now, is even more dynamic with newly-chiselled side panels and sleek rear number plate mount. With the CB650R, less gives you more.

FULLY EQUIPPED

Everything you need. Nothing to get in your way.

A premium motorcycle deserves premium equipment. Full LED lighting adds a sophisticated, contemporary edge, and the distinctive circular headlight throws out a penetrating blue-tinted beam. There also now a USB socket under the seat, for charging your device and the instrument display – with improved clarity – is a crisp LCD dash, and includes Gear Position and Shift Up indicators.

THE CB650R: UP CLOSE

Quickly spin through the technical features of the CB650R.

DUAL AIR INTAKE DUCT

The CB650R is equipped with a dual air intake duct, that pulls in fresh air directly from the front. This improves intake efficiency and optimises torque delivery.

EASY 35kW CONVERSION

An easy conversion is available from Honda dealers to restrict the CB650R’s engine to 35kW – making it A2 licence friendly. The conversion back to full power, once you’ve got your full A licence, is equally simple.

TORQUE CONTROL

The CB650R provides perfect traction, no matter the road conditions. Rear wheel grip is managed by Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC). When the wheel sensors detect a difference between front and rear wheel speeds, the system smoothly reduces torque to the rear wheel, maintaining traction.

EXHAUST DESIGN

With a nod to Honda’s history, the four exhaust downpipes sweep together around the front of the engine. The rear of the muffler has been redesigned to channel the full impact of the exhaust sounds directly to the rider, delivering a thrilling growl as revs climb. This creates powerful engine reverberations, giving you an immersive experience that only an inline four engine can produce.

CHASSIS BALANCE

The CB650R is all about balance. The frame’s elliptical spars feature tuned rigidity balance for front and rear wheel feedback. The curved aluminium swingarm is designed to be both hardwearing and handsome. 120/70-17 and 180/55-17 front and rear tyres deliver superbike-sized grip levels. Ride in style.

EMERGENCY STOP SIGNAL

The Emergency Stop Signal technology helps keep you safe if you ever need to hit the brakes unexpectedly. The system detects sudden braking and automatically activates the front and rear hazard lights, which flash to warn any nearby vehicles.
