2025 Honda® CB650R

2024 Honda® CB650R

When it comes to do-it-all performance, our CB650R has long been the class of the field. And this year there’s a new feature that blows everything else right out of the water: the Honda E-Clutch. Experienced sportbike riders can use it like a quick shifter. More casual riders will find it makes cruising and relaxed riding hassle-free. And if you’ve never driven or ridden a vehicle with a manual transmission, E-Clutch helps eliminate the need to learn shifter-clutch coordination, along with worries about stalling or jerky starts or sudden stops. Plus, the CB650R combines sportbike performance and handling along with a seating position that’s a little more upright and more comfortable for many riders. We’ve also given the CB650R a bigger five-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) instrument display.

Features may include:

• Honda E-CLUTCH

E-Clutch is the best of all worlds: You’ll still be shifting your bike with your left foot, but you no longer have to worry about using a handlebar-mounted clutch to do it. And if you do want the control that the clutch lever gives you, no worries—it's still there. Plus, E-Clutch performs like a quick-shifter for both upshifts and downshifts—something hard-charging sport riders are going to love.

• 649cc DOHC ENGINE

Engines like this are what Honda does best. The four-cylinder design makes it smoother and faster revving than most twins, and offers ample low- to midrange torque, plus plenty of power through the entire rev range.

• 4.1-GALLON FUEL TANK

A bike as versatile as the CB650R needs plenty of range, and the 4.1-gallon fuel tank provides just that.

• NEW, LARGER INSTRUMENT DISPLAY

Now measuring a full five inches, the TFT (Thin Film Transistor) instrument display is bright, easy to read, and packed with information.

• SHOWA® SFF-BP FRONT SUSPENSION

Great handling and precise steering demand a premium front suspension. That’s why the CB650R features a Showa Separate Function Front Fork Big Piston unit (SFF-BP). It offers both reduced weight, superior rigidity, and excellent overall performance.

• HANDLEBAR

A bike’s handlebar makes a huge difference in how you relate to your machine. We fine-tuned the handlebar angle, and everyone agrees it’s one of our best, making tight, slow-speed turns easier.
