HONDA CB650R is here with new colors for 26MY

HONDA CB650R
Honda has always thrived on exploring new boundaries – in design as well as engineering. In 18YM, the CB1000R, CB300R and CB125R brought a fresh identity to its naked motorcycle line-up, mixing café racer inspirations with a forward-looking ultra-minimalist look under the ‘Neo Sports Café’ design theme.

In 19YM the CB650R joined the family and its combination of cool styling, exhilarating four-cylinder engine performance and light, versatile handling ensured immediate sales success. Building on the momentum, for 21YM it received a major front suspension upgrade, plus a range of detail improvements to enhance comfort, usability and practicality.

24YM was an important year for the CB650R with it gaining updates to its style and functionality as well as becoming the first Honda motorcycles to be made available with Honda E-Clutch technology, which is designed to make motorcycling, from beginner right through to expert, even more enjoyable – and even more exciting.

For 26YM, a revised colour palette with contemporary options keeps the CB650R fresh.

Valerio Aiello, of Honda’s Rome R&D Department on the Neo Sports Café design aesthetic:

“The entire current Neo Sport Café range from Honda is the result of the CB4 Concept model presented at EICMA in 2015. Our desire was to explore the world of the café racer and reinterpret it in a modern key. We wanted to create neo-classics – that is, modern motorcycles showcasing classic design styles combined with modern techniques.

I used inspiration from outside the world of motorcycles, in watches. I’ve always liked their technicality and one of the key concepts used during the Neo Sports Café design was 'Mechanical Art'. This is the desire to show the beauty of the various mechanical elements to which Honda has always given great importance.”

2. Model Overview

24YM introduced a fresh look to the CB650R’s retro minimalism. The redesign comprised a new headlight, radiator shrouds, rider/pillion seat, tail unit and taillight to inject a more dynamic energy, while the fuel tank remained a strong presence above the beautiful inline four-cylinder engine.

The new look was supplemented by a new five-inch full colour TFT screen, designed for readability on bright days and featuring Honda RoadSync connectivity and operated by a new, easy-to-use 4-way lefthand backlit toggle switch to control on-screen, turn-by-turn navigation and other smartphone features.

Performance remains unchanged for 26YM: 70kw peak power with 63Nm are fun figures for a naked bike, and the classic in-line 4 cylinder ‘pick-up’ and high-revving top end power are longstanding Honda calling cards. A 35kW option is available for A2 licence holders.

Available as an option on the CB650R, the new Honda E-Clutch takes away the need for the rider to use the clutch lever to make a shift either up or down the gearbox.

The chassis also remains unchanged and a perfect package from city block to twisting back road. A steel diamond frame provides core rigidity while 41mm Showa SFF-BP USD front forks and Showa rear shock deliver high-quality suspension control. Four-piston radial-mount front brake calipers work 310mm floating discs and cast aluminium wheels mount 120/70-ZR17 and 180/55-ZR17 front and rear tyres.

The 26YM CB650R will be available in the following colour options:

**NEW** Mat Gunpowder Black Metallic with Graphite Black Metallic details
**NEW** Mat Jeans Blue Metallic with Graphite Black Metallic details
**NEW** Candy Energy Orange with Graphite Black Metallic details
**NEW** Grand Prix Red with Graphite Black Metallic details
