HONDA CBR650F (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda 650 standard and sports bikes were part of a range of 650cc motorcycles manufactured by the Japanese maker since 2013, which included two models, such as the CB650F standard or naked bike and the CBR650F sports machine that replaced the CB600F Hornet.

The Honda CBR650F came as a successor to the CBR600F and based on its style with a sports full fairing, a triangle headlight, a high clip-on handlebar, a one-piece seat, and available in a Red with Matt Black livery, while in some markets, it was offered in the iconic Honda tri-color scheme.

The 2014 CBR650F was a new addition to Honda's middleweight sports machines and targeted both young riders and more seasoned ones who were in search of a semi-naked all-rounder with top-drawer performance and excellent versatility.

The bike had evolved from the CBR600F models and brought plenty of power and usable torque in a street fashion with upgraded comfort, a digital instrument panel, a generous fuel tank, and an aggressive style.

For suspension, the bike packed a 41 mm conventional telescopic fork on the front and a single shock absorber with preload adjustability on the rear, while the braking performance was handled by two 320 mm discs with dual-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear.

In the performance department, the 2014 Honda CBR650F took its muscles from a 649cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system that helped deliver an output power of 86 hp at 11,000 rpm and 63 Nm (46 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm.
