2023 Honda CB650R ABS

Engine & Performance It uses a 649 cc liquid-cooled inline-four engine DOHC with 4 valves per cylinder. Bore and stroke are 67.0 mm 46.0 mm with a compression ratio of 11.6 :1. It meets EURO5 (or equivalent) emissions standards and features modern fuel injection (PGM-FI) with 32 mm throttle bodies. In Europe spec it claims around 70 kW (94 hp) at 12000 rpm and around 64 Nm torque at 8500?9500 rpm. US specs list a curb weight around 445 lb (?202 kg) in standard form. This means the CB650R offers strong performance for a ?middleweight? streetfighter ? the inline-four gives it smooth revving characteristics and plenty of power across the rev range. Chassis Suspension & Brakes Frame: The bike uses a twin-spar steel-diamond (or similar) frame tuned for agility and stability. Front suspension: 41 mm Showa SFF-BP (Separate Function Big Piston) USD forks offering good front-end feel. Rear suspension: Showa single shock (monoshock) with preload adjustment. Brakes: Dual 310 mm front discs with radial-mount four-piston calipers + ABS; rear 240 mm disc + ABS. Total Motorcycle Wheels & tyres: Front tyre 120/70-17; rear tyre 180/55-17. Seat height: about 31.9 inches (?810 mm) in many markets. Wheelbase: 57.0 inches (?1450 mm). Together these specs indicate the CB650R is set up for sporty street riding: sharp handling good suspension hardware and a strong braking setup. Styling & Features The styling is described as ?modern cafe? or neo-cafe combining naked-streetfighter with sportbike cues. All-LED lighting: headlight tail light turn signals. Instrumentation: digital or LCD display that includes gear-position indicator and shift-up indicator. Practical Considerations Fuel tank capacity is 4.1 gallons (?15.4 litres) including reserve. Emissions compliance means some markets may have minor spec differences. Being an inline-four it may have a bit more servicing cost than twin-cylinder bikes (though Honda?s reputation helps).
