The 2022 model features a “retro-modern naked-bike styling.” It has a LED headlamp up front along with a bulky tank flanked by contrasting silver plates. The bike sits on 17-inch wheels shod in 120/70 R17 tires up front and 180/55 R17 at the rear.
Given that the bike is geared towards performance, Honda made sure to make the CB650R a truly capable bike by giving it; a 41mm SFF-BP USD Showa forks upfront and a monoshock with 10-stage preload adjuster and an aluminum cast swing arm outback. In terms of braking the Cb650R is provided with 310mm x 4.5mm dual-disc front brakes with radial-mount four-piston calipers and 240mm x 5mm single-disc rear brake with a single-piston caliper.
The CB650R is powered by a 659cc liquid-cooled in-line-four engine that generates 93.47PS and 63.3Nm and is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The CB650R is apparently capable of doing 20.9Km/l.
The 2022 Honda CB650R is now available locally for a retail price of PHP504,000
