This is a bike for born competitors. Sculpted by high-speed aerodynamics the CBR650R – with suspension, equipment and style upgrades – is an ultra-sharp tool with focused, sporting intent, thrilling power, and exceptional torque. Discover a place without borders: Your obsession.
Putting The R Into The CBR
Born on the racetrack, turning heads on the street.
The CBR650R has honed its racetrack DNA for aggressive road performance. The footpegs and handlebars give you the optimal riding position, for fluid movement around the machine, finding the perfect cornering balance as you tackle thrilling roads. The front tyre is beautifully weighted, for precise turn-in capability, while the 180-section rear has huge grip. Up front, piercing dual LED headlights fill out the tightly wrapped fairing, mirrored by the minimal seat unit and re-shaped, slimmer side panels. Even the rear number plate mount has been sharply re-styled. And, the electrifying roar of the exhaust, chasing the redline will make your hair stand on end.
A Thrilling Rush To The Redline
It’s what we do. Four-cylinder power at its very best.
The inline four-cylinder DOHC 16-valve engine is built to be used. Close, short gearing and a smooth rush of power delivers exhilarating acceleration – and then there’s the evocative howl as rpm climbs high. It’s addictive. An assist/slipper clutch eases upshifts and manages hard down changes, while Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) maintains rear wheel traction. It’s an engineering masterpiece. Have fun with it.
Premium Equipment
High performance means high specification.
The CBR650R stands alone. A true, sporting middleweight it has the specification to match its single-minded intent. Lithe, agile and styled by speed dual LED headlights feature new reflectors, for an even more piercing stare, and lead the bike’s aggressive angles. Handlebars clip-in below the top-yoke, for complete control and the LCD instrument cluster is now even easier to read. And, because sometimes life will interfere with your riding, there’s now a USB charging socket under the seat.
