2019 Honda CB650R Review | First Ride
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
After debuting the fun and affordable CB300R and ultra-premium CB1000R last year, Honda releases the third and final Neo-Sports Café bike inside its 2019 US model lineup with the CB650R. This 649cc inline-four-powered Honda is designed for folks who desire a sporty, upright naked bike that’s as capable around town as it is in the canyons.
--
Honda's certainly found the sweet spot with its CB650R. It's more versatile than the 300R, while also more applicable in the real world compared to the pricey and certainly bespoke 1000R. The engine has enough power and torque to keep more experienced riders entertained, yet it won't overwhelm the senses for a less experienced pilot.
This makes for a machine that is forgiving and friendly to ride, despite not offering advanced rider features like adjustable power modes. Editor’s Note: Traction control, or Honda Selectable Torque Control in Big Red nomenclature, is included with ABS-equipped CB650Rs for a $300 upcharge, but the bike we rode did not have this feature.
Although it doesn’t benefit from ride by wire like many new motorcycles do, the calibration of the throttle response is as good as it gets for an analog bike-yet another plus for both novices and more experienced folks. Last time the dyno tested the F-specification CB650, the engine put out 79.05 hp at the rear tire.
The new spec engine, with its redesigned piston crowns, updated valve timing, and redesigned airbox with two intake ports, instead of one, boosts peak horsepower to 80.55 at 11,000 rpm. Even more impressive is the CB’s flat spread of torque-especially for an inline-four middleweight. It jumps off the corners well and the engine also sounds a tad beefier than we remember, with a more pleasing airbox note. The engine also revs to 12,900 rpm, 1,000 rpm higher than before.
This mill has a fair degree of engine vibration at higher rpm (above 6,000 rpm). But If you lug it at lower revs, it delivers a smooth and vibration-free ride. Although the engine shares the same cylinder bore as Honda’s CBR600RR engine, this long-stroke version is a purpose-built for road use (rather than competition with the RR mill) that Big Red released for the 2014 model year. The six-speed gearbox shifts between each gear well and we appreciate the lower final drive gearing further complementing acceleration.
An iPhone 4-sized monochrome display keeps tabs on this CB’s vitals. The dash is replete with pertinent information, including a handy gear position indicator and fuel level gauge. We also like the shape of the analog-shaped tachometer. Our only gripe are the individual fonts are compressed and hard to decipher at a glance.
Like the rest of Big Red’s Neo-Sports Café bikes, the handling of this 650 version is one of the high points. Honda lopped off 10 pounds from the rolling weight of this bike with it now weighing 445 pounds with its 4.1-gallon tank topped off. Speaking of fuel, we netted an average of 39.5 mpg during mostly medium-speed highway riding.
It hustles around corners well and is an easy motorcycle to place where you want on the road. Having ridden both the CB300R and CB1000R, I can say this middleweight version feels very similar, and that’s a good thing. The Showa suspension components offer a balanced ride, and the damping settings are a good compromise of around-town comfort and curvy road sport handling. And despite the rear suspension not offering a conventional linkage, the ride quality over rough pavement is excellent. The upgraded braking hardware makes it easy to keep your speed in check, plus the anchors have enough bite to slow it down in a hurry. Our testbike didn’t have ABS, which is a good thing as it makes the bike more enjoyable to ride in more experienced riders’ hands as you can manipulate either brakes with greater control.
Ergonomically, Honda sharpened the CB650R’s ergonomics. Its stance is a tad more aggressive. Specifically the handlebar is positioned lower and a little more forward. Conversely, the footpegs have shifted up- and rearward. It’s a more sporty ergo package than we recall with the previous model and will be a welcome update for folks who value a bit of sport performance when riding.

I have a CB300F. Just finished 2 days on a rental CB650R on the mountain roads around Chiang Mai, Thailand. I love this bike. The sound, the power, the confidence in handling and braking. I want to try a CB1000R before I buy a 650, but I can't imagine it's so much better that the price difference is worth it (I do like the looks of the 1000). Pinning this thing near redline in 3rd gear is near to perfection... Not sure I'd want to go faster than that.

two year old comment but I want to add that I have a CB500F. It's my first bike and it's plenty powerful for my daily commuting needs but it's still so much fun to take out for a joyride. It's a little heavy for me but nothing terrible. Overall, I've really enjoyed it so far. Haven't had the opportunity to really push it to its limits yet, waiting to maybe do a track day in the future when I have better gear and upgrade my helmet.

@@Silent_Sounds That's a good bike to start with, and will give you a very strong foundation for any future bikes. I've since moved up to some very powerful bikes. A Husqvarna FE501s, a Ducati Monster 1200s, and a new Ducati DesertX. The advanced engineering, performance, and power of these bikes are addicting. I won't be able to go back to the less advanced and less powerful bikes now, and riding something with top-shelf suspension like the Ohlins on the Monster is a revelation...

Awesome looking back if I could be fun to ride in this lightweight but it don't have a nice big fat tire on the back that would really make it really cool have a good day
Coming from a modified SV650 I tried the CB1000R last year and was extremely happy when I jumped back on my own bike. The 1000 had no torque whatsoever until you revved it close to 10k and felt like it didn't want to stay leaned over. Very curious to try this smaller one and see if they managed to atleast make it somewhat exciting at street legal speeds...
so basically 20 less horsepower then the 600rr but quite a bit more comfortable and a better torque curve. seems a lot better if you are only ever going to ride it on the street.

Hi... about this bike, how much maximum can i lower? For safety i meant
Hello, im going to start my classes for the motorcycle permit shortly and I have been looking in many videos and forums about different bikes and this one is the one I like the most. The thing is that im taller than the average person, im 1.90cm, and I have read people saying its ok for someone my size and other people saying its going to be a little bit small for me. Do you guys think I will be comfortable riding it? Is there someone that has the same height as me (or similar) that owns the bike or has driven it? Could you give me some feedback? Thank you very much!
Hey guys need a quick response, does the 2019 CB650R in USA have H.I.S.S. ? on it? Adam or anyone maybe help?
I didn’t buy it last month and I don’t have any regrets, the CB650R looks cool but when I sat on it I felt like the next guy would just get a better performance bike the second after like a z 900 or a MT07,MT09 and all the funky bunch
an i4 that's smooth at low rpm and vibrates at high rpm? how has honda made a complete 180 in the matter of a decade?
How would this go for a fit 6'7" rider?

First bike: GN250 or any old shitter up to a 400 to learn on, learn to service, probably fall over a couple of times, for your first couple of years or 30,000 miles whichever comes first. Try out a few different rides. Get into rider training and get your riding gear sorted, none of it apart from a quality lid, has to be new, posh, expensive - it just has to function in all weather for your first year or so. If ya survive, then sure, go tick up a flash new bike and some mint kit to go with it.

Already did my MSF course and will be doing it again before getting the bike. will most likely be riding 2-3 days a week just as a hobby not as my main method of commuting. Won’t be riding around in rush hour or any time there is a lot of traffic just to minimize risk with idiots on the road. I live in In east side of the United States so I’ll ride 3-4 months max a year if I’m lucky, waiting to hit 30k miles in the conditions I’ll be riding in will probably take 15 years lol.

I would enjoy riding this thing myself but would also not hesitate to recommend it to my wife who just got her motorcycle license. If you rev it it goes, but if you keep the revs low it's nice and gentle and beginner friendly. Oh, and it looks beautiful.

Same money will basically get you the next class up of nakeds from others (MT-09, Z900, GSX-S750)... and its real competitors are like $1500-2000 cheaper. I guess if people are willing to pay what Honda is charging more power to them but I would not.

I can't speak for others, but I personally ended up getting a CB650 over the MT09 because it's got way better build quality, better suspension (despite being non-adjustable) and IMO a much better design. I get what you mean regarding power and displacement, but the Honda doesn't feel like a bad deal at all once you swing a leg over it.
all I can see is the dude's hair
more of these less of commute review awesome content!
"neo sports cafe"??? is that how you call a naked bike these days?
Footage looked a bit overexposed/bright (until the very end)... I'm no cinematographer but just wanted to point it out. The review and shots were still really good!
