2023 Honda® CB650R ABS

2023 Honda® CB650R ABS

Features may include:

• Dynamic performance

The liquid-cooled 649 cc four-cylinder engine uses a compact internal architecture with cylinders canted forward 30 degrees for a lower centre of gravity and an impressive power-to-weight ratio.

• Honda selectable torque control (HSTC)

The Honda Selectable Torque Control System (HSTC) controls torque output by detecting differences in the slip ratio between front and rear wheels. When the rear tire loses traction on a slippery surface, HSTC instantly kicks in and suppresses torque by controlling fuel injection to inhibit rear tire slip. This system is user adjustable and can be turned off.

• Assist Slipper clutch

Not only does the assist slipper clutch help to prevent rear-wheel lockup on downshifts, it also reduces the effort it takes to operate the clutch lever.

• Quick response

The PGM-FI fuel injection system operates with information from four separate throttle body sensors for crisp and accurate throttle response.

• Frame

The CB650R’s twin-spar steel frame is engineered to be light, strong and to improve mass centralization, providing the basis for the bikes sporty handling and high level of rider feedback.

• Suspension

Showa 41mm SFF-BP USD forks are a major upgrade over the previous generation; a pressure separation damper in one fork tube and spring mechanism in the other deliver high damping performance and lighter weight. Together with the use of a larger sized piston the result is increased feel, bump absorption and control. Adjustable for 7-stage spring preload, the single-tube monoshock operates directly on the curvaceous gravity die-cast aluminium swingarm.

• Wheels

Y-shaped five-spoke blacked-out wheels combine rigidity with reduced weight for more nimble handling and improved bump absorption (compared to the previous generation).

• Brakes

Featuring huge 310 mm discs, the CB650R also comes with radial mounted four-piston calipers in the front with 240 mm disc at the rear. This paired with the two-channel ABS results in premium sportbike stopping power that’s linear and easy to modulate.

• Neo Sport styling

With a fresh look, the CB650R represents the naked shape of things to come. Its bold Neo Sport styling and minimal bodywork come together to deliver an aggressive, clenched-fist appearance, further accented by the crisp LED headlight, clear-lens LED taillight, and LED turn signals.

• Comfortable seating

The carefully shaped seat has a narrow middle profile that provides comfort while riding, and an easier reach to the ground at stops. The seat also includes ample room for a passenger.

• Digital display

The backlit digital display tells you everything you need to know about your ride, with a speedometer, tachometer, odometer, gear indicator, fuel gauge, clock, warning lights, plus all trip details including average speed, fuel consumption rate and elapsed time.
