Honda CB650R and CBR650R: Specifications and Hardware
The Honda CBR650R and CB650R both derive their power from the same 649 cc liquid-cooled inline-four cylinder engine. This power unit comes mated to a six-speed gearbox and makes 95 bhp and 63 Nm of torque.
The two middleweights are both built around the same steel diamond frame, held up by 41 mm Showa Separate Function Big Piston Forks in the front and a rear monoshock with 10-step adjustability. Braking duties are taken care of by twin 310 mm discs at the front and a single 240 mm disc at the rear. The CBR650R and CB650R round up the package with dual-channel ABS and traction control and get the new E-Clutch system.

The Honda E-Clutch system operates according to the engine parameters, including speed, rpm, and gear position, and removes the need to operate the clutch during starts, stops, and gear changes. The rider can simply operate the shift pedal, benefiting from a fatigue-free experience, especially in city traffic.
Despite the tech, riders can manually use the clutch by engaging the lever whenever required. The E-Clutch system is designed to re-activate in less than a second above a certain engine rpm, or after five seconds at a lower speed. The rider can choose to disengage the E-Clutch feature altogether using the switchgear.
