Honda had first showcased the CBR650F at the 2014 Auto Expo and since then, fans have eagerly been waiting for the arrival of this sport tourer. For the uninitiated, a sport tourer is a bike that is used more for long distance touring, as the name suggest. But unlike an adventure tourer, a sport tourer has sporty bent to it. So don’t think of the CBR650F as a CBR1000RR’s smaller sibling but more of a scaled down VFR1200F.
Coming back to the matter at hand, we're familiar with Honda's design philosophy, which is what the 650F follows. In simpler terms, it is... er, simple. The single headlight isn't exactly attention-grabbing. The boomerang-shaped LED DRLs that flank the headlight look nice, and on the whole, the bike does pack plenty of visual muscle. Hide the 650F badge, and you'd forgive anyone who mistook it for a higher-capacity motorcycle. The full fairing cleverly exposes a bit of the four pipes sprouting out of the engine and merging into a single, stubby exhaust. The meaty 180mm rear tyre looks the part, too.
Adding some amount of flash to an otherwise understated design is the red, blue and white paint scheme. Some plastic panels sport a faux carbon fibre finish, which may sound tacky, but they look decent in the flesh.
On to more important things. The engine is all-new, and has been developed specifically for the 650F. The engine makes 85.3bhp, and 62.9Nm of torque, which seems acceptable for a motor of this size. Tech that waters down the riding experience has been given a skip. Power is sent to the rear wheel through a slick six-speed transmission.
Apart from the engine, Honda has decided to keep things fairly basic across the board. The chassis is the diamond frame type, and non-adjustable, telescopic front forks have been chosen over inverted forks which have become hygiene on high-capacity motorcycles. The front forks have a travel of 4.3 inches, which is good enough to soak most bumps, while the monoshock at the back gets seven levels of preload adjust and five inches of travel.
