Honda
CBR650R
The CBR650R is one of the few remaining 649cc inline-four sportbikes in current production — the faired sibling of the CB650R, with the same 67 hp engine in a more committed sportbike riding position. At 461 lb it runs heavier than the Ninja ZX-4R and YZF-R7; used examples at $7,000–$9,500 are the most affordable route to a Honda inline-four sportbike backed by the brand's nationwide dealer network.
