HONDA has just revealed an updated CBR650F at its pre-Eicma press conference.
The main changes to the fully-faired four-cylinder 649cc machine are an increase in power, Showa dual bending valve fork, revised Nissin brakes and restyled bodywork.
Engine changes include a new, free-breathing exhaust and intake management, which contributes to the CBR650F’s increased 89.8hp at 11,000rpm.
Honda says handling and comfort have been improved thanks to the addition of a brand new 41mm diameter Showa dual bending valve fork.
Stopping performance is also said to be improved thanks to revised two-piston front calipers and 320mm discs and a single -piston caliper and 240mm disc at the rear.
The new front fairing is intended to make the bike look sportier and channel more air into the intake.
