Features may include:

Engine & Drivetrain

• 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.

• Lots of low-end torque

The DOHC 16-valve cylinder head with direct cam actuation and 11.6:1 compression ratio contributes to the engine’s effortless performance at low and mid rpm, allowing you to smoothly pull away from 1,500 rpm—even in sixth gear.

• Even more power

The pistons and valve timing boost power even higher, giving the CBR650R a sporty character.

Chassis & Suspension

• 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 provide 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 when compared to the previous CBR650R generation. Adjustable for seven-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 when compared to the provious generation.

Additional

• Inspired styling

Several new style upgrades from the provious generation include a CBR1000RR-inspired fairing redesign that incorporates dual LED headlights, LED turn signals and taillight. Additional new generation features include lowered handlebars raised footpegs that are also 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. For 2021 readability has been improved with a change of LED angle and font size.
