Overview

Introducing the 2022 Honda CB650R, a bold naked bike that beautifully balances power, agility, and style. Positioned within the competitive middleweight motorcycle segment, the CB650R captures the essence of Honda's engineering prowess while appealing to both seasoned riders and newcomers. With its striking neo-sports café design and modern aesthetics, this motorcycle not only turns heads but also delivers a thrilling riding experience that's both accessible and exhilarating. At the heart of the CB650R lies a potent 649 cc inline-four engine, capable of producing a robust 93.9 horsepower at 12,000 RPM and a healthy 63 Nm of torque at 9,500 RPM. This powertrain, with its 11.6:1 compression ratio and advanced PGM-FI fuel injection system, ensures smooth throttle response and impressive performance across the rev range. Riders will appreciate the crisp acceleration and the seamless 6-speed gearbox that enhances the bike's overall dynamics. Coupled with a lightweight steel diamond frame and a low curb weight of 202.5 kg (446.4 lbs), the CB650R offers remarkable agility and stability, making it a joy to navigate through city streets or carve up winding roads. Honda has equipped the CB650R with cutting-edge features that enhance both safety and comfort. The motorcycle comes with a state-of-the-art ABS braking system, featuring double disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear, ensuring reliable stopping power in various conditions. The 41mm Showa Separate Function front Fork Big Piston (SFF-BP) provides exceptional front-end feedback and adjustability, while the rear monoshock damper allows for customized preload settings to suit any riding style. With a comfortable seat height of 810 mm, the bike caters to a wide range of riders, and the electric starter ensures effortless ignition every time. Available in an array of eye-catching colors, including Pearl Smoky Gray and Candy Chromosphere Red, the CB650R is as visually appealing as it is technologically advanced. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine: The 649 cc inline-four engine delivers impressive performance with a balanced blend of power and torque.
  • Agility and Handling: Lightweight design and advanced suspension setup provide nimble handling and stability, ideal for both urban commuting and spirited riding.
  • Modern Features: Equipped with ABS brakes, adjustable suspension, and a sleek digital display, the CB650R offers modern technology that enhances rider confidence and comfort.

Cons

  • Limited Wind Protection: As a naked bike, the CB650R lacks fairings, which may expose riders to more wind and elements at higher speeds.
  • Slightly Aggressive Riding Position: The sporty ergonomics may not be as comfortable for long-distance rides compared to more relaxed models in Honda’s lineup.
  • Weight: While relatively light for its class, some riders may find the 202.5 kg (446.4 lbs) weight a bit hefty for maneuvering at very low speeds or during parking.
