Overview[edit | edit source]
Honda CB 650R
Honda has always thrived on exploring new boundaries, in design as well as engineering. In 2018, the new CB1000R and CB300R brought a fresh identity to Hondas naked motorcycle lineup, mixing café racer inspirations with an ultra-minimalist look under its Neo Sports Café design theme. One obvious segment remained for the new aesthetic to find expression: the competitive naked middleweight arena. For 2019, the new CB650R (previously known as the CB650F) confidently takes on this role. Using the same styling blueprint as its siblings, the CB650Rs retro-minimalism is aimed at a young demographic that wants to show off in style and enjoy the combination of exhilarating four-cylinder engine performance and light, versatile, refined chassis handling. Add to this mix of head-turning, individual looks and exciting, usable performance a spec sheet replete with high quality and premium features, and the result is a naked middleweight designed for maximum pride and pleasure of ownership.
STYLING
Tightly wrapped and aggressive, the CB650Rs Neo Sports Café style features the
signature compact trapezoid proportion of short, stubby tail and
short-overhang headlight. The long fuel tank is a key motif of the family
design; its smooth lines accentuate the solidity of real metal surfaces and
crown the engineering of the four-cylinder powerplant. It also houses the
ignition.
The
round headlight is based on that of the CB1000R. Its LED, as is the rest of the
lighting. Sharp new LCD instruments also use the CB1000R as a baseline and
include Shift Up, Gear Position and a Peak Hold indicator, which brings
attention to the peak revs and offers a more dynamic experience for the rider.
A more aggressive riding position than the CB650F moves the 21.9 inch tapered
handlebar .5 inches forward and .3 inches down, with foot-peg position more
rear-set.3 inches back and .2 inches higher. Seat height is unchanged at 31.9
inches.
CHASSIS
The CB650Rs steel-diamond frame is updated for 2019 with pressed (rather than
forged) swingarm pivot plates; its 4.2 pounds lighter than the previous design
and uses twin elliptical spars with a rigidity balance specifically tuned
(stiffer around the headstock and more flexible in the spar sections) to deliver
balanced handling characteristics with high levels of rider feedback. Curb
weight (measured with all required fluids) is 447 pounds for the ABS version
(11.6 pounds lighter than the CB650F) thanks to weight savings in the frame,
fuel tank and new super-sport-style footpegs. Handling is further aided by
improved centralization of mass.
The CB650Fs conventional front suspension is replaced by an inverted 41mm
Showa Separate Function Fork (SFF), for improved handling and reduced unsprung
weight. The fork is held by a revised, forged-aluminum bottom triple clamp.
Adjustable for seven-stage spring preload, the single-tube shock operates
directly on the curvaceous, gravity die-cast aluminum swingarm.
Four-piston radial-mount front brake calipers work on 310mm floating rotors,
and are paired with a single-piston rear caliper and 240mm rotor. Two-channel
ABS is available. The cast aluminum wheels are a brand-new design with five
Y-shaped spokes, reducing weight by .97 and 1.2 pounds front and rear,
respectively, improving handling by reducing inertia and unsprung mass.
ENGINE
Hondas development engineers wanted to create the purest, most enjoyable
midsized four-cylinder performance possible for the CB650R rider, so the 649cc,
DOHC 16-valve engine has been tuned to deliver 5% more power above 10,000 rpm,
with redline raised 1,000 rpm. Peak power arrives at 12,000 rpm, with peak
torque delivered at 8,500. The net result is a motor that spins harder, and for
much longer, at high rpm, with a smooth, linear torque delivery that builds
strongly as revs rise, and sounds great in the process.
Direct cam actuation makes for a compact cylinder head; compression ratio is
raised from 11.4:1 to 11.6:1, and the combustion-chamber shape is optimized by
use of a revised piston design. The valve train has been reinforced and valve
timing revised; iridium spark plugs are also now employed.
Asymmetric piston skirts minimize bore contact, reducing friction. Ferrous
spines on the outer surface of the cylinder sleeves reduce oil consumption (and
friction) with improved heat transfer, and a silent SV cam chain reduces
frictional losses by using a Vanadium coating on its pins. Internal water
channeling from the cylinder head to the cylinders does away with most of the
exterior hoses.
New twin air ducts on either side of the fuel tank feed a larger volume of
air, as opposed to the single, central duct of the old model, raising
atmospheric pressure in the airbox. They also produce a throaty intake roar. The
exhaust now features a larger bore tail pipefrom 1.4 to 1.5 inchesinside the
muffler to flow more gas and, with its exit pipe angled upward, to emit an
emotional howl.
The engine uses a compact internal architecture, stacked six-speed gearbox
and starter layout with the cylinders canted forward 30°. An assist/slipper
clutch is a new addition and eases upshifts while managing rear-wheel lock up
under rapid downshifts. On the ABS version only, Honda Selectable Torque Control
(HSTC) manages rear-wheel traction; it can be turned off should the rider
choose.
Performance
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.
Honda Selectable Torque Control
With Honda Selectable Torque Control System (HSTC) the CB650R offers you
peace of mind during aggressive riding conditions. The system adjusts engine
power to optimize torque at the rear wheel, reducing rear-wheel slip. And heres
the best part: you can turn it on or turn it off with a handlebar-mounted
switch. (Available on ABS model only.)
Four-Into-One Exhaust
Power, style and an unmistakable growlyou get all three with the
four-into-one exhaust system on the CB650R.
Six-Speed Transmission
Smooth, nearly seamless shifts and gear ratios matched to the way
you want to ride: those are two of the characteristics that make this Honda so
much fun to ride.Refined Intake System
The CB650R features a twin-duct intake design, engineered to ram cool, dense
air into the airbox, increasing horsepower.
New Muffler
Mufflers need to accomplish four things: They need to quiet the engine
without robbing power, they need to help tune engine output, they need to sound
great, and theyre a huge style element on any bike. The CB650Rs exhaust knocks
it out of the park on all counts, and sounds like only an inline four can.
Special Engine Tuning
Changes to valve timing and piston shapes have improved engine response,
especially from the idle to 8000 rpm, a big advantage in urban environments.
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.
Style
Neo-Sports Café Styling
The CB650R looks unique because its a fresh, new design. The Neo-Sports Café
look combines elements from pure sportbikes and sporting nakeds. Sometimes less
is more, and the CB650R makes a bold styling statement wherever you ride it.
Y-Spoke Aluminum Wheels
The new aluminum wheels feature Y-shaped spokes that help reduce unsprung
weight. These lighter hoops have a greater influence on handling than the
numbers alone suggest.
Trapezoidal Body Layout
It sounds like a mouthful, but it just means that the new CB650R has some
awesome lines, and that it just flat out looks right.
Lustrous Nanopigment Paint
The CB650Rs dual-layer candy paint is applied with a nanopigment clear coat
on top of a base coat. Aluminum flakes in the base coat give this paint a
shimmering lookcheck it our for yourself and youll be hooked.
LED Headlight
The CB650R uses the same LED headlight as our CB1000R. The bezel around the
headlight and is finished in black, emphasizing a sharper image. This LED
headlight is both brighter and smaller than a conventional design, and
contributes in a big way to the CB650Rs sense of style.
New Digital Instruments
Based off our CB1000R, the CB650Rs new LCD screen features a digital
speedometer and tachometer and more, including a clock, odometer, trip meter,
real-time and average fuel consumption meters, and illuminated engine diagnostic
indicators.
Handling
41mm Front Suspension
The CB650Rs front suspension showcases some leading-edge technology. The
41mm fork is equipped with Showas Separate Function Fork (SFF) which offers
reduced weight, superior rigidity, and excellent overall performance. A new
aluminum lower triple clamp completes the picture.
Slipper Clutch
The new assist slipper clutch lightens clutch operation by approximately 12
percent compared to previous models, and that reduces rear-wheel hop during
rapid downshifts.
New Frame
The
new CB650R refines a classic Honda design. The twin-spar frame incorporates
updated pivot plates, engine hangers, seat rails, and other components that all
reduce weight. Its light, strong, and provides the basis for the CB650Rs
stellar handling.
Radial-Mount Front Brakes
Featuring huge 310mm discs, the new CB650R also comes with radial-mounted
four-piston calipers. The result is premium sportbike stopping power thats
linear and easy to modulate.
Rear-Disc Brake
A 240mm hydraulic disc at the rear complements the twin front discs for
plenty of stopping power.
New Handlebar
A bikes handlebar makes a huge difference in how you relate to your machine.
We moved the CB650Rs bar forward by 13mm and down by 8mm (compared to the
previous CB650F), and changed the bend in the bar too. Plus, using a premium,
tapered-section swaged bar gives you better front-end feedback.
Neutral/Sporting Riding Position
One of the most rider-friendly aspects of the whole Neo-Sports Café design is
how you sit on the CB650R. Youre ready for aggressive riding, but youre still
comfortable. You can see whats going on around you. And your riding sessions
can last for hours at a time with little fatigue.
