Honda's 650 gets LAMS approval
Sporty middleweights now within reach of every riderHonda's new 2016 CBR650F and CB650F are now LAMS approved for learner-riders.
Honda says the CB650F channels streetfighter attitude into its four-cylinder engine for a high-quality riding experience for all levels of ability. Tuned for optimum performance in the low-to-mid rev range, the sprightly CB is flexible and easy to ride, we're told.
Honda created a new 649cc DOHC four-cylinder engine for these models and the CB650F and CBR650F tick all the right boxes.
The steel diamond frame has its rigidity balance tuned to deliver good handling and rider feedback. Both the rear shock and 41mm telescopic forks have been developed to work closely with the frame's dynamics to provide supple control to the rider in all conditions.
The CBR650F offers a riding position on the relaxed side of sporty, while the naked CB650F retains its upright riding position, placing the rider close to the bike's centre of gravity.
The new models also offer new colour options, with the CB650F available in Matt Gunpowder Black Metallic and a Tri-colour Pearl Metalloid White, and the CBR650F available in Graphite Black and a Pearl Metalloid White.
The CB650F and CBR650F hit showrooms in January. Pricing of the models is set to be announced closer to launch.
