The upcoming 2021 model in Honda’s CB650R lineup shares the vast majority of its specs and features with the current variant. As such, it is put in motion by a liquid-cooled DOHC inline-four powerplant, with four valves per cylinder and a displacement of 649cc. Additionally, the engine prides itself with a remarkable compression ratio of 11.6:1.

At approximately 12,000 revs, this untamed monstrosity is capable of delivering up to 94 hp. On the other hand, a solid torque output of 46 pound-feet (63 Nm) will be accomplished at around 8,500 revs. A six-speed gearbox is tasked with transmitting the mill’s feral force to CB650R’s rear 17-inch cast aluminum wheel by means of a chain final drive.

Stopping power is taken care of by dual 310 mm (12.2 inches) hydraulic discs and radially mounted Nissin four-piston calipers at the front, along with a single 240 mm (9.45 inches) brake rotor and a one-piston caliper at the rear. Optionally, the manufacturer will be more than happy to install ABS on both ends.

For their MY ‘21 CB650R, Honda brewed a plethora of juicy tweaks and upgrades that’ll ensure exemplary behavior on the road. For starters, the Japanese giant fiddled with the bike’s inline-four behemoth to make it Euro 5 compliant, without affecting its power output numbers. This feat was made possible by optimized valve timing and a rebuilt cam profile, as well as several exhaust modifications and a meticulous ECU remap.

Furthermore, the fresh variant boasts considerable handling improvements, thanks to a pair of 41 mm (1.61 inches) Showa SFF-BP (Separate Function Fork Big Piston) inverted forks. On the other end, its suspension setup remains unaltered.

You will also find a full LED lighting package and an updated digital gauge, which should prove to be a lot more readable than that of a current CB650R from Honda’s range. The newcomer gives you the possibility to charge your electronic devices through a USB-C port that can be found beneath the saddle.

Long story short, this bad boy promises to be an absolute showstopper. Outstanding performance, a sexy design language, state-of-the-art features – the 2021 CB650R has it all!
