2023 Honda CBR650R Features
PERFORMANCE
649cc DOHC ENGINEEngines like this are what Honda does best. The four-cylinder design makes it smoother and faster revving than most twins, and offers ample low- to midrange torque, plus plenty of power through the entire rev range.
STYLE
SPORTBIKE STYLINGThe CBR650R looks just the way a modern sportbike should—all business, with a generous dose of style. But the CBR650R is also comfortable enough for a wide range of riding, from around-town commuting to canyon carving to day-long trips.
INSTRUMENTS
In addition to the usual speedometer and tachometer, the full-flat instrument panel features an LCD readout with indicators for gear position, water temperature, peak-hold display of engine RPM, upshift indicator, and more.
LED HEADLIGHT
The CBR650R uses an eye-catching dual-lens LED headlight that casts a powerful beam. It’s both brighter and smaller than a conventional design, and contributes in a big way to the CBR650R’s sense of style.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
An exhaust system needs to accomplish four things: To quiet the engine without robbing power, to help tune engine output, to sound great, and it’s a huge style element on any bike. The CBR650R’s exhaust knocks it out of the park on all counts, and sounds like only an inline four can.
Y-SPOKE ALUMINUM WHEELS
The aluminum wheels help reduce unsprung weight. These lighter hoops have a greater influence on handling than the numbers alone suggest.
HANDLING
Honda SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL (HSTC)With Honda Selectable Torque Control System (HSTC) the CBR650R offers you peace of mind during aggressive riding conditions. The system adjusts engine power to optimize torque at the rear wheel, reducing rear-wheel slip. And here’s the best part: you can turn it on or turn it off with a handlebar-mounted switch.
SHOWA® SFF-BP FRONT SUSPENSION
Great handling and precise steering demand a premium front 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. Plus, it also has adjustable spring preload, as well as adjustable rebound and compression damping.
RADIAL-MOUNT FRONT BRAKES
The CBR650R comes with radial-mounted four-piston brake sportbike stopping power that’s linear and easy to modulate.
ENGINEERING
TWIN-SPAR FRAMEThe CBR650R refines a classic Honda design. The twin-spar frame incorporates pivot plates, engine hangers, seat rails, and other components that all reduce weight. It’s light, strong, and provides the basis for the CBR650R’s stellar handling.
FOUR-INTO-ONE EXHAUST
Power, style and an unmistakable growl—you get all three with the four-into-one exhaust system on the CBR650R.
REAR-DISC BRAKE
A hydraulic disc at the rear complements the twin front discs for plenty of stopping power.
REFINED INTAKE SYSTEM
The CBR650R features a twin-duct intake design, engineered to ram cool, dense air into the airbox, increasing horsepower.
SIX-SPEED TRANSMISSION
Smooth, nearly seamless shifts and gear ratios matched to the way you want to ride: those are two of the characteristics that make this Honda so much fun to ride.
SLIPPER CLUTCH
The assist slipper clutch lightens clutch operation by approximately 12 percent compared to previous designs, and that reduces rear-wheel hop during rapid downshifts.
SPECIAL ENGINE TUNING
Finely tuned valve timing and piston shapes improve engine response, especially from the idle to 8000 RPM. This delivers a big advantage in urban environments.
SPORTING RIDING POSITION
Comfortable enough for casual, weekday use and for 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.
