CB650R

Honda's CB650R slots above the CB500 family with a free-revving 649cc inline-four and distinctive Neo Sports Café styling — the right step-up for riders who want more engine character than a parallel-twin without full litre-class cost. At 456 lbs it is heavier than most competitors in the middleweight naked class; a test ride is worth the effort.
