Four-cylinder middleweight sports motorcycles are rare, beautiful things. The CBR650R is it. It’s got a smooth rush of turbine-like inline power, from low to high rpm. Aggressively redrawn styling, inspired by our CBR1000RR-R Fireblade. Packed with premium technology, like new E-Clutch option, multi-function switch and a new TFT screen, that make this star shine even brighter.
Unique to Honda. E-Clutch takes riding to the next level. You can choose manual clutch control of the six-speed gearbox, just like normal. Or select E-Clutch via the TFT screen and 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 and at any time – like an expert sports rider. Stalling is impossible. Dealing with traffic so much easier. And need the clutch for any reason? No problem. Use it anytime.
Features
Four Cylinder 649cc Engine
Engines like this are what Honda does best. The four-cylinder design makes it smoother and faster revving than most twins and offers improved mid-range torque, plus plenty of power through the entire rev range. The 649cc, DOHC 16-valve engine of the CBR650R has been tuned to ensure a smooth, linear torque delivery that builds strongly as revs rise and sounds great in the process.
Showa SFF-BP Front Suspension
Great handling and precise steering demand premium suspension. That's why the CBR650R features a Showa Separate Function Front Fork Big Piston unit (SFF-BP). It offers both reduced weight, superior rigidity, and excellent overall performance. It also offers adjustability for spring preload as well as rebound and compression damping.
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)
Detecting slippage between the driven rear wheel and the road surface during acceleration, HSTC controls the amount of engine torque reaching the rear wheel. Offering the perfect amount of power to give you the best traction and stabilise the bike.
Versatile Sports Riding Position
Comfortable for casual, weekday use, and more aggressive weekend sport rides alike. The seat/bar/peg relationship in any motorcycle is critical, and with the CBR650R, you'll truly feel like a part of this bike.
Multi Function Switch
The new 4-way selectable multi-functional switch makes it easier and intuitive to select different settings. The 4-way selectable switch is LED-lit, making it more user-friendly and giving it a premium feel.
Redesigned Rear End
The rear end has been redesigned to look sharp and aggressive, while also reducing the frame (and overall) weight.
The Power of Four
The Honda CBR650R is a four cylinder middleweight sports bike that provides similar pleasure, enjoyment, and adrenaline to an RR machine, yet being versatile, practical, and sensible to make it a great day-to-day ride, in addition to weekend fun. Smooth, fast, and loaded with features like ABS, Honda Selectable Torque Control, digital display, and LED lights, it is a standout wherever you ride.
Disc Brakes with ABS
Our Anti-Lock Braking System can be a big help in making controlled stops in less-than-ideal conditions, like on wet pavement or other compromised surfaces. It’s a great choice whether you're using your new bike as a commuter or just riding it for fun, since it helps you stop with added confidence. Featuring huge 310mm discs on the front, the CBR650R also comes with radial-mounted four-piston callipers. The result is premium sportbike stopping power that’s linear and easy to modulate. A 240mm hydraulic disc at the rear complements the twin front discs for plenty of stopping power.
New Full Colour 5" TFT Screen
With intuitive information display, straightforward ergonomics, full connectivity, and optically bonded resin layers for maximum clarity and visibility in direct sunlight.
Dual-lens LED Lighting
The CBR650R uses an eye-catching dual-lens LED headlight that casts a powerful, scientifically tuned beam. It’s both brighter and smaller than a conventional design and contributes in a big way to the CBR650R’s sense of style. Brake lights and indicators are also LED.
Fireblade Inspired Styling
Our racing DNA runs deep. The CBR650R wears sharp new bodywork and colour scheme, plus the new dual LED headlight design. All inspired by the awesome CBR1000RR-R Fireblade.
