2023 Honda® CBR650R ABS

2023 Honda® CBR650R 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 (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 is engineered to instantly kick-in and suppresses torque by controlling fuel injection to help 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 helps reduce the effort it takes to operate the clutch lever.

• Frame

The CBR650R’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; 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 wheels combine rigidity with reduced weight for more nimble handling and improved bump absorption.

• Brakes

Radial-mounted four-piston calipers work the front 310 mm discs, while the rear brake squeezes a 240 mm disc. Standard ABS provides added peace of mind during sudden stops or when riding on uncertain surfaces.

• Inspired styling

CBR1000RR-inspired styling includes a redesigned fairing incorporating dual LED headlights, plus LED turn signals and taillight. Handlebars have been lowered and footpegs raised and set back for improved rider manoeuvrability and mass centralization.

• 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.
