This is where you find pure four-cylinder magic. Stripped back for hugely enjoyable performance – from city block to twisting backroad – the CB650R loads strong acceleration, lightweight agility and sharp new CB1000R-inspired Neo Sports Café style. Add premium tech, plus riding the first bike with Honda’s incredible new E-Clutch system, and sometimes less really can be more.
Unique to Honda, E-Clutch brings the fun. And choice. You can use the clutch in a conventional manner. Or let E-Clutch do the work leave the clutch lever alone. That’s it. Setting off from standstill, shifting up and down, and coming to a stop all you need do is operate the gear lever. E-Clutch does the rest – smoothly, instantly – like an expert sports rider. It offers you so much more control, whether you’re carving through a set of corners or busy traffic. And need the clutch for any reason? No problem. Use it anytime.
Features
Showa SFF-BP Front Suspension
The Showa 41mm Separate Function Fork Big Piston unit (SFF-BP) gives you great handling, precise steering, and fingertip feel for front tyre grip.
Neutral Riding Position
One of the most rider-friendly aspects of the Neo-Sports Café design is how you sit on the CB650R. You're ready for sporty riding, but you're still comfortable. You can see what’s going on around you and enjoy longer rides with little fatigue.
Serious Stopping Power
Dual, radial mount four-piston calipers grip 310mm wave style discs hard up front and a 240mm disc grabs the rear. All with standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) for smoother, more controlled stops in all conditions.
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)
Honda Selectable Torque Control System (HSTC) smoothly manages rear wheel traction, wet or dry, so riding the busy street – or attacking a set of corners – is always a thrill.
Assist/Slipper Clutch
An assist/slipper clutch eases upshifts while managing rear-wheel lock up under rapid downshifts.
Stay in Control
Because power needs control, an assist and slipper clutch works to prevent rear wheel lock-up through hard braking and downshifting. And, for next level road visibility, Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) activates the rear hazards under hard stop situations.
Neo Sports Café Style
New school meets old school; stripped down retro looks exude mechanical minimalism. Defined by trapezoidal shaping, with the compact seat cowl set aggressively high.
New Full Colour 5-Inch TFT Screen
Backlit for readability with optical bonding to reduce glare, the new 5-inch screen is intuitive to use.
Crisp Angled LED Headlight
CB1000R specification with aluminium bezel and distinctive LED light signature.
Four Cylinder 649cc Engine
There is something special about riding a 4 cylinder motorcycle. The smoothness, effortless acceleration, linear power delivery… it's just an incredible feeling. The 649cc, DOHC 16-valve engine gives you ample low to midrange torque, plus plenty of power through the entire rev range. All with an exhaust note that draws adrenaline.
