2024 Honda® CBR650R

RIDE SMARTER WITH E-CLUTCH

The biggest news on two wheels this year: Honda’s E-Clutch, making its first appearance on our CBR650R. Experienced sportbike riders can use it like a quick shifter. More casual riders will find it makes cruising and relaxed riding hassle-free. And if you’ve never driven or ridden a vehicle with a manual transmission, E-Clutch eliminates the need to learn shifter-clutch coordination, along with worries about stalling or jerky starts or sudden stops. Add in some crisp new bodywork, a bigger five-inch TFT instrument display and its stellar high-revving inline-four engine, and you’ll see the new CBR650R is a ride that’s on the cutting edge in every way.

Features may include:

ENGINEERING

Honda E-CLUTCH

E-Clutch is the best of all worlds: You’ll still be shifting your bike with your left foot, but you no longer have to worry about using a handlebar-mounted clutch to do it. And if you do want the control that the clutch lever gives you, no worries—it's still there for you. Plus, E-Clutch performs like a quick-shifter for both upshifts and downshifts—something hard-charging sport riders are going to love.

PERFORMANCE

649cc DOHC ENGINE

Engines like this are what Honda does best. The four-cylinder design makes it smoother and faster revving than most twins, and offers ample low- to midrange torque, plus plenty of power through the entire rev range.

STYLE

SPORTBIKE STYLING

The CBR650R looks just the way a modern sportbike should—all business, with a generous dose of style. But the CBR650R is also comfortable enough for a wide range of riding, from around-town commuting to canyon carving to day-long trips.

NEW, LARGER INSTRUMENT DISPLAY

Now measuring a full five inches, the TFT (Thin Film Transistor) instrument display is bright, easy to read, and packed with information.

HANDLING

Honda SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL (HSTC)

With Honda Selectable Torque Control System (HSTC) the CBR650R offers you peace of mind during aggressive riding conditions. The system adjusts engine power to optimize torque at the rear wheel, reducing rear-wheel slip. And here’s the best part: you can turn it on or turn it off with a handlebar-mounted switch.

SHOWA® SFF-BP FRONT SUSPENSION

Great handling and precise steering demand a premium front suspension. That’s why the CBR650R features a Showa Separate Function Front Fork Big Piston unit (SFF-BP). It offers both reduced weight, superior rigidity, and excellent overall performance. Plus, it also has adjustable spring preload, as well as adjustable rebound and compression damping.
