[New Motorcycle] HONDA “CB650R” will be released on March 15 Middle Class Naked Road Sports Model

Honda is equipped with a water-cooled, 4-stroke · DOHC · inline four-cylinder · 648cc engine, the “CB650R” dynamic styling of naked road sports model in the compact, which launched in than Honda Dream 3 May 15 (Friday).

CB650R is a development based on the “CB650F” of conventional models equipped with in-line four-cylinder engine that can enjoy the easy-to-use relaxed rotation feeling to the body size from the low-speed range to a high speed range. With the keyword “Middle Sports Roadster excited about lifestyles in cities”, we aim to lighter weight and mass more than before, and aged parts of car body, undercarriage, power unit. It aimed to renew the styling as the new generation CB series, and changed the name from the conventional CB 650 F to the CB650 R.

In addition to reviewing the rigidity balance of the car body, such as changing the constituent parts of the frame and the manufacturing method, realizing further weight saving and mass concentration. For the suspension, a new high rigid inverted front fork is adopted. The bottom bridge is made of aluminum forged, combined with the lightweight newly designed aluminum wheel, to improve the exercise performance, realize a light and high-quality riding feel.

The power unit improves the output of the high revolution range compared with the conventional model while maintaining easy-to-handle torque characteristics. In addition, assist slipper clutch and Honda selectable torque control (HSTC) ※1, which contribute to rider’s fatigue reduction and a sense of security, are newly adopted. It was easier to handle, comfortable, smooth ride, and “fun to manipulate” was improved.

The styling adopts a trapezoid proportion with a sense of condensation that aimed at centralizing mass common to the new generation CB series, and an LED headlight in a shape that makes it feel universality as a naked bike.

※ 1 Honda selectable torque control is not a system to eliminate slip. It is a system that assists rider’s accelerator operation to the last. Therefore, as with vehicles not equipped with Honda selectable torque control, we can not respond to unreasonable driving.

Main features of CB 650R

■ Body / Undercarriage

· The pivot plate part of the frame has been changed to a box structure combining press molded parts, making light weight and high rigidity compatible at a high level.
– Move the position of the pipe on the lower side of the seat rail to be joined to the pivot plate upward, make it a silhouette with a light feeling, and shorten the rear end of the seat to contribute to mass concentration.
· By setting the step position to the upper rear side according to the improved exercise performance, the riding position is set to apply load to the step.
· The aluminum wheel adopts a new design of 5 Y-shaped spokes. Weight reduction is achieved by thinning each part while optimizing the rigidity.
· In addition to making the front fork an inverted type for a new suspension, it contributes to high-quality light handling, as well as adopting pillow balls at the fastening part between the rear suspension and the swing arm to further enhance the cushion operability and the road surface following property ing.
– For the front brake, a radial mount caliper is newly adopted. Also, as with the conventional model, ABS *2 is equipped as standard.

* 2 ABS is a system to assist the rider’s brake operation. As with vehicles not equipped with ABS, sufficient deceleration is necessary in front of the corner, etc. It is not possible to respond to unreasonable driving. During ABS operation, the system operation is notified by kickback (swing back).

■ Power Unit

– It is changed to output characteristic that provides a rotation raising feeling without a valley over peak rotation, improving ease of handling, and improving the output in the high revolution range.
– To change the specifications of the high revolution type, we changed the specifications of the valve operating system and contribute to the improvement of output and smooth torque characteristics.
– The shape of the head of the piston was changed to optimize the shape of the combustion chamber. By combining the iridium plug and burning the air-fuel mixture more efficiently, it contributes to the feeling of racing and excellent throttle response.
– The newly designed air cleaner adopts a dedicated twin intake duct. Stable air is guided from the front side of the shroud integrated type arranged on the left and right side of the fuel tank, furthermore, the tip of the left and right intake duct is made into two pieces, and the air suction is also taken from the rear, thereby increasing the pressure inside the chamber , Improving the efficiency of charging the intake air into the combustion chamber, and achieving a sharp engine racing feeling.
– Adopting a new assist slipper clutch. The assist mechanism reduces the operation load of the clutch lever and improves the “fun to operate” by providing a slipper mechanism to reduce rear wheel hopping caused by sudden engine braking accompanying the shift down.
– Adopt Honda selectable torque control (HSTC) anew. The engine torque is optimized by adjusting the fuel injection amount on the basis of the value calculated from the difference between the front and rear wheel speeds, and the driving force of the rear tire is controlled, thereby alleviating the rear wheel slip. Switching ON / OFF is possible by switch operation of the left steering wheel.

■ Styling

– Styling realizes a compact and dynamic image by combining edge-rich edges and supple curved surfaces. Also equipped with shroud with metal texture. We adopt LED for all lighting equipment.
– Coloring is “candy chromosphere red” which produces an impressive expression of highlights and deep shadows, “graphite black” hard impression which further tightens the compact body, “matte beta silver metallic” which makes you feel strongly the metal texture The three colors are adopted.

■ Other Equipment

– Emergency stop signal which makes the hazard lamp blink fast at sudden braking is newly adopted.
– In addition to adopting a full flat design aimed at lightweight and compact design, the newly designed meter has newly added features such as a gear position indicator.

Main Specification

■ Type designation application form by the Road Trucking Vehicle Law Numerical (Items of ★ are published by HONDA)
■ Manufacturer / Honda Motor Co., Ltd.

※ 3 Fuel consumption rate under the specified test conditions. It depends on various conditions such as usage environment (weather, congestion etc) of the user, driving method, vehicle condition (equipment, specification) and maintenance condition.
※ 4 Fuel consumption rate is the fuel consumption rate based on actual measurement that traveled at constant vehicle speed.
※ 5 TWMTC mode value is a calculated value based on the emission test result measured in the driving mode which is international standard including start, acceleration, stop, etc. It is classified according to displacement and maximum speed in driving mode class.
