2019 Honda® CB650R

2019 Honda® CB650R

There’s nothing like a high-revving four-cylinder bike that just makes a rider’s soul sing. Sure, all motorcycle engines are special, the heart and soul of our machines, but once you’ve ridden an inline four…you’ll understand.

Especially if we’re talking about the one in the new Honda CB650R. Here’s a machine built for the pure joy of riding. It handles like a sportbike, but has all the comfort of a standard. And the way it looks—you can see that for yourself (but it’s like nothing you grew up with, that’s for sure). A genuine middleweight, it gets everything right, combining handling, nimbleness and rideability with responsiveness and crisp, edgy style. The new Honda CB650R. It’s truly about performance, and about how much fun you’ll have.

• 649cc DOHC ENGINE

Engines 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.

• NEO-SPORTS CAFÉ STYLING

The CB650R looks unique because it’s a fresh, new design. The Neo-Sports Café look combines elements from pure sportbikes and sporting nakeds. Sometimes less is more, and the CB650R makes a bold styling statement wherever you ride it.

• 41MM FRONT SUSPENSION

The CB650R’s front suspension showcases some leading-edge technology. The 41mm fork is equipped with Showa’s Separate Function Fork (SFF) which offers reduced weight, superior rigidity, and excellent overall performance. A new aluminum lower triple clamp completes the picture.

• NEW HANDLEBAR

A bike’s handlebar makes a huge difference in how you relate to your machine. We moved the CB650R’s bar forward by 13mm and down by 8mm (compared to the previous CB650F), and changed the bend in the bar too. Plus, using a premium, tapered-section swaged bar gives you better front-end feedback.
