<\/p>\nWell-built but pricey! The 2023 Honda CB650R comes in a new color scheme. However, the new model has no major mechanical updates except that it now has a matte gray metallic shade instead of the matte black metallic we had seen earlier. Nonetheless, it is fun and full of comfort.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The CB650R has a liquid-cooled in-line four-cylinder 649cc engine. Very few motorcycles in the middleweight class have inline-four engine. The 2023 Honda CB650R is a perfect bike for people who want to move from beginner bikes to high-performance that has forgiving handling. Some of the top features of the bike are –<\/p>\n
The top speed for Honda CB650R is 137 mph (220.5 km\/h). The powerful 649cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine is designed for power and control, contributing to its speed. The 6-speed transmission and aerodynamic design contribute to its efficient speed. <\/p>\n
Miles per gallon for Honda CB650R has an estimated 48 mpg (20.4 kmpl). It has a range of 197 miles (317 km). CB650R has a fuel tank of 4.1 gallons capacity, including a 0.8-gallon reserve. Overall it is a fuel-efficient bike with better mpg than bikes with less engine capacity. <\/p>\n
Apart from that, the six-speed gearbox with the 2023 Honda CB650R is the ultimate. And thanks to the slipper clutch, it is smooth during upshifts and ably assists the motorbike in making 94 HP. As a result, it gains 47 lbs-ft of torque at the rear wheel in no time. And reduces rear wheel lockup during downshifts. Five up and down is conclusively sleek.<\/p>\n
You will relish the thickset growl emitted by the Honda CB650R as you pump the engine. While the HSTC (Honda Selectable Torque Control) ably manages the traction of the rear wheel. And this can also be turned off if you don’t like it. The ABS is part and parcel of the braking package. It comprises dual radial-mounted calipers that sharply bite into floating discs alongside a single-piston caliper. <\/p>\n
Overall, the 445 pounds of fully fueled CB650R is ready to ride. And is unstoppable from being an inspiring corner carver.<\/p>\n
A chic round LED headlight and an LCD screen will display vital information from the CB650R as you ride. The comfort and utility are uncompromised in design to build upon your confidence. The reach is comfortable as the handlebar is canted forward. At the same time, the sporty pulled-back peg position makes a complete rider triangle. The whole plan is well managed to keep the bike adequately narrow. At the same time, the bike’s seat height is reasonably approachable. This is an impressive fact about the new design considering an inline-four engine is involved.<\/p>\n
The electronics of the CB650R do not have ride modes. But it does have rider aids such as HSTC or traction control along with twin-channel ABS. The white upon black LCD display is pretty modern. However, it falls behind full-color TFT units. The font sizes are now updated, and the display angle is slightly altered. Eventually, this helps visibility under the sun. <\/p>\n
Overall, the lighting is up to modern standards. LEDs in the motorbike’s headlight, taillight, and turn signals significantly contribute.<\/p>\n

\nThe powerplant in the CB650R is a liquid-cooled 649cc inline-four engine. It is tuned for high rpm and is evident in peak power performance. It achieves a peak of 81.9 hp at 10,870 rpm. And 42.97 lb.-ft. of torque at 7,960 rpm. <\/p>\n
The ride is exciting on the new CBR650R, as aggressive riders will be tempted to push it to high rpm to draw out blaring energy. The air ducts on both sides of the fuel tank direct air into the airbox. This produces a great growl while the bore tailpipe sounds out of the exhaust.<\/p>\n
Just a little twist of the throttle rewards riders with a crisp response. However, beware that the intake and exhaust sounds can be addictive. <\/p>\n

\nThe Showa Fork carried forward into the 2023 model gives the middleweight CB650R a sporty and firm ride. It helps the bike track into turns and does an excellent job while absorbing bumps on rough roads. And the weight of the bike is carried very well as it traverses snaking roads.<\/p>\n
The braking in the CB650R is handled very well by Nissin calipers at both ends. And the four-piston units at the front work exceptionally well. As a result, braking is responsive and easily managed with a one-finger pull at the lever. Eventually, coming to a stop is uncomplicated on this growling motorbike.<\/p>\n
The transferable warranty on the Honda CB650R includes one year and unlimited mileage coverage. And the Protection Plan is also available for extending the coverage.<\/p>\n
The middleweight CB650R overall has a fine fit and finish. And the minimalist details corroborate the clean look of the bike.<\/p>\n
