Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB650R 2023

Honda's CB650R proves brilliantly that four-cylinder naked bikes with little displacement are also a real source of joy on the country road. The engine tuning provides enough pressure from the hairpin bend and rewards with a wonderful four-cylinder shriek after a short wait. The chassis components offer a solid balance between everyday life and sportiness.
