The 600 class is right where a lot of savvy sportbike riders land. Why? Six hundreds—especially inline fours like the CBR650R—just strike a near magical balance between power, weight, maneuverability and the human scale. And when you’re looking at a CBR650R, you’re also looking at a bike with a wide performance envelope, able to hold its own in the canyons and still practical enough for leisurely weekend rides or daily commutes. But if there’s one thing that really sets the CBR650R apart, it’s this bike’s engine. Nothing revs like an inline four, and nothing’s as smooth either. Few experiences can match ripping through a canyon on a sport bike, and the CBR650R delivers that thrill to a wide spectrum of riders. To achieve the ideal mix of practicality and performance, this model has a high-quality Showa Separate Function Big Piston fork, stylish aesthetics and up-to-date emissions technology. With a finely tuned chassis delivering light, responsive handling, and a high-revving inline four-cylinder engine that offers enjoyable power, the middleweight CBR650R is exciting to ride and a pleasure to own, a gratifying intersection of values for the modern sport bike rider.
