Want to know the difference between our CBR650R and the CB650R (other than that one little letter)? First you’ll notice the CB650R showcases its engine front and center, uncovered by any bodywork. Next, check out the seating position, especially the taller handlebar. That really opens up the cockpit, letting you sit up a little straighter, especially welcome if you’re riding around in town or at a more relaxed pace. They may seem like small things, but they all add up to a bike that is a real decathlon champion, a machine with an incredibly wide range where it shines. Great suspension, a responsive chassis, anti-lock brakes, six-speed transmission and comfortable rider accommodations: While there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all motorcycle, the 2023 CB650R comes awfully close.
