Lots of low-end torqueThe DOHC 16-valve cylinder head with direct cam actuation and 11.6:1 compression ratio contributes to the engine’s effortless performance at low and mid rpm, allowing you to smoothly pull away from 1,500 rpm—even in sixth gear. |
Even more powerThe pistons and valve timing boost power even higher, giving the CBR650R a sporty character. |
Honda selectable torque control (HSTC)The Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) controls torque output by detecting differences in the slip ratio between front and rear wheels. When the rear tire loses traction on a slippery surface, HSTC is engineered to instantly kick-in and suppresses torque by controlling fuel injection to help inhibit rear tire slip. This system is user adjustable and can be turned off. |
Slipper clutchNot only does the slipper clutch help to prevent rear-wheel lockup on downshifts, it also helps reduce the effort it takes to operate the clutch lever. |
Quality engineeringAsymmetric piston skirts, ferrous spines on the cylinder sleeves and a silent SV cam chain using a Vanadium coating on its pins ensure reduced friction, minimal oil consumption, and improved heat transfer. |
Quick responseThe PGM-FI fuel injection system operates with information from four separate throttle body sensors for crisp and accurate throttle response. |
Optimal fuel economySpecific fuel-injection mapping and ignition timing work together to optimize fuel economy and deliver impressive range from the generous 15.4 L fuel tank. |
Sporty sound and feelThe sleek side-swept 4-1 exhaust features a dual pass internal structure to help reduce back pressure and deliver an addictive high-RPM howl that attests to the bike’s CBR racing Heritage. |
Rapid accelerationThe current generation of the CBR650R boasts a reduced weight, improved airflow, numerous engine improvements, and a quick-shifting six-speed transmission (compared to the previous generation CBR650R). These improvements help to deliver thrilling acceleration as you click through the gears. |
Sharp responseDual ram-air ducts and an efficient air cleaner (redesigned based on the previous generation) both contribute to the engine’s immediate throttle response and sporty overall performance. |
FrameThe CBR650R’s twin-spar steel frame is engineered to be light, strong and to improve mass centralization, providing the basis for the bikes sporty handling and high level of rider feedback. |
SuspensionShowa 41mm SFF-BP USD forks provide a major upgrade over the previous generation -- a pressure separation damper in one fork tube and spring mechanism in the other deliver high damping performance and lighter weight. Together with the use of a larger sized piston the result is increased feel, bump absorption and control when compared to the previous CBR650R generation. Adjustable for seven-stage spring preload, the single-tube monoshock operates directly on the curvaceous gravity die-cast aluminium swingarm. |
WheelsY-shaped five-spoke wheels combine rigidity with reduced weight for more nimble handling and improved bump absorption when compared to the provious generation. |
BrakesRadial-mounted four-piston calipers work the front 310 mm discs, while the rear brake squeezes a 240 mm disc. Standard ABS provides added peace of mind during sudden stops or when riding on uncertain surfaces. |
Inspired stylingSeveral new style upgrades from the provious generation include a CBR1000RR-inspired fairing redesign that incorporates dual LED headlights, LED turn signals and taillight. Additional new generation features include lowered handlebars raised footpegs that are also set back for improved rider manoeuvrability and mass centralization. |
Comfortable seatingThe carefully shaped seat has a narrow middle profile that provides comfort while riding, and an easier reach to the ground at stops. The seat also includes ample room for a passenger. |
Digital displayThe backlit digital display tells you everything you need to know about your ride, with a speedometer, tachometer, odometer, gear indicator, fuel gauge, clock, warning lights, plus all trip details including average speed, fuel consumption rate and elapsed time. For 2021 readability has been improved with a change of LED angle and font size. |
Safe and soundA compact wave-design ignition key offers increased security and reduced chance of breakage. |
