Adrenaline in every gear

Combining precision and power with the style to match, the CB650R is our stripped-down streetfighter sibling to the CBR650R. With its responsive chassis, broad powerband, and our revolutionary E-Clutch, which allows for sporty shifting with or without the clutch, the 650R delivers unmatched handling and excitement for riders of all skill levels.

649cc DOHC inline-four

Honda is known for its precision-engineered four-cylinder engines, and this one offers smooth and quick revs, abundant low-to-mid-range torque, and relentless power across all rpms.

Exhaust system

An exhaust's roles are to hush the engine without reducing power, refine engine output, resonate melody, and elevate style. The naked CB's four-into-one system excels across all fronts, producing that beautiful signature inline-four sound.

Unique engine tuning

Enhanced valve timing and piston design increase power and torque across the rpm range, making it as good at city driving as it is at canyon carving.

Refined intake system

Engineered with a twin-duct intake, it’s designed to ram cool, dense air into the airbox, boosting horsepower.

Showa SFF-BP fork

Precision handling demands a top-tier front suspension system. The Showa Separate Function Front Fork Big Piston (SFF-BP) unit is a masterpiece of reduced weight, enhanced rigidity, and superior performance.

Twin-spar frame

Crafted with finesse, the twin-spar frame integrates pivotal elements, from engine hangers to seat rails, all optimizing weight reduction while also providing the ideal chassis flex characteristics. Robust yet lightweight, this frame epitomizes superior handling.

Y-spoke aluminum wheels

The aluminum wheels feature Y-shaped spokes that help reduce unsprung weight for better handling. Plus, they look quite sharp.

Radial-mount front brakes

Featuring large 310mm dual discs that are grabbed by radial-mounted four-piston calipers, the bike offers premium sportbike stopping power that's linear and easy to modulate.

Honda E-Clutch

E-Clutch is the best of all worlds: you’ll still be shifting your bike with your left foot, but you no longer have to use the handlebar-mounted clutch. And if you want the control and performance the clutch lever gives you, it's still there. Plus, it performs like a quick-shifter—something the more aggressive sport riders will love.

4.1-gallon fuel tank

This versatile bike is equipped with a generous 4.1-gallon gas tank, offering excellent range and remarkable fuel efficiency.

Smooth, nearly seamless shifts and gear ratios to match your riding style—the six-speed gearbox with E-Clutch provides a next-level riding experience and stall-free control, characteristics that make this Honda so much fun to ride.

Honda Selectable Torque Control

Honda's Selectable Torque Control system (HSTC) adjusts engine power to optimize torque at the rear wheel, reducing rear-wheel slip during aggressive riding. It can be turned on/off with a handlebar switch.

Modern Café styling

The modern café design combines sportbike agility with naked streetfighter looks for a bold and daring appearance.

Trapezoidal body layout

Although it might sound like a mouthful, it simply means that this bike has great aesthetics and looks as good as it performs.

Upright handlebar

Your connection to the machine relies on the handlebar. Our precise tuning of the bar's angles enhances maneuverability, allowing for more nimble handling and easier mastery of tight turns.

Easy-to-read instrument display

At five inches in size, the TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) instrument display is easy to read, bright, and packed with vital information. It includes a large speed display, tachometer, gear-position indicator, trip meters, and more.

All LED lighting

Compared to the previous generation, this bike gets all-LED lighting throughout for increased visibility, including a restyled slanted headlight and an updated taillight that tucks seamlessly into the seat cowl.
