The 2020 Honda CBR650R is a middleweight sportbike that offers a balanced blend of performance and versatility. It's known for its smooth, high-revving engine, comfortable riding position, and features like ABS. The fuel tank, frame and footpegs were tweaked to move the rider's triangle forward and down loading up the front wheel a bit more while clip-on bars pulls the pilot into the pocket. Yeah, Honda might try to act like this is some sort of sports-commuter ride, but it's even further into the sports” end of the spectrum than its predecessor so you can probably go ahead and disabuse yourself of the notion that you'll be comfortable using it as an everyday commuter.
That said, there's plenty here to love for riders who are looking for something a skosh more casual than a full-on RR model. It carries the typical cowl scoop up front, but some judicious cutouts leave us with a tantalizing glimpse of the drivetrain and the graceful arc of the four-into-one exhaust headers where they make their turn to head back to the abbreviated muffler.
A 4.1-gallon fuel tank defines the flyline with a wide flange up top to shelter the knee pockets ahead of the cut-down saddle. Gotta' say; the break between pilot and pillion isn't as abrupt as you'd expect from such a sporty ride, and the shoulder is probably just enough to act as a butt stop to keep you from driving the thing out from under yourself. This bike has an aftermarket Akropovic under engine exhaust for that added sound and attitude. Like all our bikes, this will be fully serviced, inspected and detailed at the time you take delivery.
