A new Honda CBR650F sports tourer model for 2017 has been unveiled. Performance, as well as visual updates, have been carried out by the Japanese manufacturer.

Four new paint schemes will be available for 2017 Honda CBR650F model:

- Millenium Red

- Pearl Metalloid White

- Matt Gunpowder Black Metallic

- Sword Silver Metallic

2017 Honda CBR650F is powered by a 649cc four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. This engine now produces 89.85bhp, along with 64Nm of peak torque output. Overall, the 2017 CBR650F will be a bit quicker than its predecessor and the engine is now be EURO4 compliant.

New intake and exhausts increase top end power by 3 kilowatts, with shorter gear ratios highlighting the increased performance through the mid-range. The engine note is stronger and louder, while the new Showa Dual Bending Valve front fork, upgraded brakes and a more forward riding position improve the handling. New stripped-back and aggressive styling lines put the engine completely on show, and full LED head and taillights add even more technical quality.

Overview

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, 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.

American Honda announced today the addition of the CB650F to its model lineup for the 2018 model year, while also confirming the return of two other exhilarating sport bikes in the capable CBR650F and the incredibly popular Grom. The CB650F is the latest in an admired lineage of Honda middleweight four-cylinder naked bikes dating back to the CB400F of the 1970s, and with a great power-to-weight ratio, pared-back style, and comfortable riding position, it has all the elements of a great-performing midsize street-fighter.

“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.
