The 2023 Honda CB650R presents a refreshing take on the middleweight category with its 649cc liquid-cooled inline-four power plant. This motorcycle gains an edge with a finely tuned PGM-FI fuel system, augmented by a set of four 32mm throttle bodies, which work in unison to ensure a lively and prompt fuel response. The advanced DOHC configuration, with a quartet of valves per cylinder, meticulously orchestrates air and fuel flow for peak engine performance.
Honda's engineering finesse shines through with the CB650R's exhaust design—a streamlined four-into-one system that not only exudes aural pleasure but also enhances the engine's breath. The introduction of Honda Selectable Torque Control brings a tailored riding experience, adjusting power output to match rider demand. Further refinements are evident in the motorcycle's intake architecture and specialized engine tuning that imbue the CB650R with a distinctive riding demeanor. Astride the bike, one is greeted with a seating position that strikes a perfect balance, offering an inviting stance for both leisurely rides and enthusiastic sprints.
