Used to be sportbikes made you choose between some arbitrary displacement classes. First there was 500s and 750s. Then it was 600s and 1000s. That was all fine if you wanted to go racing, but what if you were just after a stellar sportbike for the street? Seems like everyone forgot about you.

Not Honda. The CBR650F is built for streetbike riders who want a sport machine that makes sense seven days a week. That extra 50cc compared to the 600s? Sure, it lets us fatten up the CBR650F’s powerband. But there’s a lot more to this bike than more engine displacement.

With it’s open rider triangle (where your seat, hands, and feet contact the bike), the CBR650F is comfortable in traffic or for longer rides. Its inline-four engine is specifically tuned for low-to-midrange torque, delivering a powerband that’s suited for a wide range of riding styles. Plus we’ve made some significant updates this year. Now you get a bike that looks sharper, handles better, and makes even more power.

A fun ride at a great price, weekday commuter, weekend sport riding, long trips, short hauls, solo or with a passenger—the 2018 Honda CBR650F does it all.

Affordable Performance.

The CBR650F is a machine that offers an incredibly high fun factor while keeping real-world budgets in mind. Its aggressive new styling offers excellent ergonomics and improved engine performance.

Power Up!

Honda pioneered the modern inline-four layout and we’ve never looked back. With smooth running and offering terrific performance, including increased peak power for 2018, the CBR650F’s powerplant is one of our best.

The Fundamentals Count

Rock-solid handling starts with a rock-solid chassis. The CBR650F’s frame is strong for sharp, responsive handling, but not too stiff for casual, everyday riding.

Information Central

The CBR650F offers a digital LCD instrument package. Everything is clearly visible, night or day, and includes all the info you need for longer trips or cross-town commutes.

Super Sport Style

This middleweight motorcycle has a real thirst for action.

One quick glance gives away its true purpose – from headlight to taillight it looks agile and fast. The CBR650F just can’t hide its desire to perform and will take riding enjoyment to a level you never thought possible. It can provide you with comfortable, everyday performance when you want it, but you’ll also find this free-revving bike is eager to satisfy the irresistible urge to just let it go on an empty, open road.

Super Sport or Street

Whichever you choose, you’ll be riding a 650cc machine that really packs a punch.Close up of Honda CBR650F engine.

An engine that breathes

Clothed in super sport fairing – sharing a striking similarity with the 2017 Fireblade – that’s been created to include air channels that run from the front straight into the interior air box and intake duct for better performance.

Leading the way

The clear-lensed LED headlight will make sure you can see well ahead on the darkest roads and city streets. The rear taillight, housed in the sleek and sporty tail section, is also LED and improves visibility with a bright and very noticeable stoplight.

Information in a flash

Just a quick look down is all you need. This simple, twin digital screen, with a white back light, means you won’t miss a thing: rev-counter, speedometer, fuel gauge, clock, odometer and warning lights are all clearly displayed.

Controlled stopping power

The CBR650F has revised two-piston Nissin front calipers that squeeze 320mm wavy discs. With two-channel ABS as standard, they provide excellent braking response, adding confidence in all conditions. A single-piston rear 240mm disc is at the rear.

Shaped to ride

The seat has been created with a narrow middle section, this is not only good for rider movement, but helps ground reach when you’re on and off the pegs in traffic. For comfort, it’s been designed with rubber mounts underneath to minimise any vibration.

Complete control

Pin-point and precise suspension means sharper handling.

Front fork

The CBR650F has a 41mm Dual Bending Valve type fork that provides excellent control. Incorporating a free valve structure that progressively increases the amount of damping according to the road conditions – there is no limit to how much the compression damping can be reinforced. This simple, innovative technology – a world first – delivers superior performance levels that are equivalent to cartridge type suspension units, but in a lighter package.

Rear shock

Underneath the seat is housed a single-tube, monoshock suspension unit with 7-stage spring preload adjustment. It works directly on the neatly curved, gravity die-cast – for stability and strength – aluminium swingarm.

Eye-catching fork caps are finished in Alumite.

Primed for action

Feel and hear the power from one corner to another.

Light to the touch the CBR650F is a delight to ride, especially when you’re miles away from the city.

The CBR650F’s engine develops 67kW @ 11,000rpm and 3kW more than the previous model, it’s an increase you can really feel above 5000 rpm. This is down to a new intake and completely redesigned, 4 into 1 exhaust system. Together with a dual-pass muffler to reduce back-pressure, it delivers a raucous growl when you wind on the throttle. Drive it out of a corner and accelerate through the stacked six-speed gearbox and you get hard acceleration with the short gear ratios – more noticeable in the bike’s mid-range.

Sharp, sure and confident

The CBR650F is built around a steel diamond frame, which incorporates twin 64mm x 30mm elliptical spars. It provides you with excellent rigidity and balance that’s specifically tuned to deliver real-world handling for the road. A rake of 25.5° with trail of 101mm and wheelbase of 1,450mm gives a good combination of straight line stability with light and exciting turning ability.

Features

“We’re pleased to offer the tough-looking, strong-performing CB650F to American customers for the 2018 model year,” said Lee Edmunds, American Honda’s Manager of Motorcycle Marketing Communications. “The CBR650F has shown that this four-cylinder power plant is a solid performer, and in this package it adeptly rounds out our comprehensive lineup of naked sport bikes, fitting in perfectly between the CB500F and the CB1000R.”

Honda’s newest middleweight naked bike is powered by a compact 649cc inline four-cylinder engine that provides a satisfying rush of power and torque while emitting a throaty growl through beautiful side-swept exhaust headers (a Honda signature) and a single, organically shaped, under-swingarm muffler. With minimal bodywork, the view of the handsome engine and twin-spar frame is unobstructed. Suspension comprises a Showa Dual Bending Valve fork and adjustable shock, and both the headlight and taillight feature LED bulbs. All three brake rotors are wave-style, the dual 320mm front discs being squeezed by Nissin calipers. Longer rides are made comfortable by the sporty-yet-natural riding position and a rubber-mounted handlebar.

Engine / Drivetrain

649cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine features a muscular torque spread through the low- to midrange portions of the powerband, especially below 4000 rpm.
Tuned especially for strong acceleration from a standing start and strong midrange roll-on throttle response for real-world street-riding performance.
Liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine features Honda’s Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system.
Dual overhead camshafts actuate four valves per cylinder. This layout allows a high degree of freedom in cylinder head design for optimum performance.
The camshafts are driven by a silent-type cam chain for reduced engine friction, and the surfaces of the cam-chain pins are treated with vanadium for lower friction and increased toughness.
The piston pins and connecting rods are treated with a special friction-reducing protective coating for greater durability and efficiency.
Cylinders are inclined at a 30-degree angle to help lower the center of gravity (CG) for more agile handling.
Sweeping right-side four-into-one exhaust system is both stylish and functional, and muffler emits a raucous growl.

Chassis / Suspension

Upright riding position and rubber-mounted handlebar for a comfortable ride.
Low center of gravity (CG), light curb weight, and slim cross-section work together to provide lightweight steering feel and responsive handling.
Street fighter styling places the CB650F squarely in the company of Honda’s CB1000R and CB500F naked models.
Minimalist bodywork makes for a tough, street-fighter image and allows a full view of the engine and exhaust.
The frame incorporates elliptically shaped twin 64mm x 30mm steel spars for tuned flex to deliver excellent sport riding characteristics.
The engine is incorporated as a stressed member of the frame, an efficient layout for enhanced handling.
Single-shock rear suspension is actuated directly by the strong yet lightweight aluminum swingarm for 5.0 inches of rear-wheel travel.
Shock spring preload is adjustable in seven steps to accommodate variations in load and riding conditions.
Large, 41mm Showa Dual Bending Valve fork with 4.3 inches of travel for a well-controlled yet comfortable ride.
Lightweight cast-aluminum wheels with 120/70ZR-17 tire in front and 180/55ZR-17 rear.
Wave-type dual front 320mm disc brakes and 240mm rear give strong stopping power and lend a stylish touch while also saving unsprung weight.
Honda’s ABS system is available for more confident stopping in challenging conditions.
LCD multi-function digital meter package includes speedometer, tachometer, odometer/A&B trip meters, fuel gauge and clock. Meter can also display average and instantaneous fuel consumption.
Under-seat utility area adds modest but convenient storage space.
Headlight and taillight both have LED bulbs.
L-shaped air valves on the wheels allow easier access, simplifying air-pressure adjustment.
