13 out of a possible 24 points mean 5th place in the large mid-range naked bike comparison test 2021. The Honda puts up a good fight against the technically more advanced competition and can leave a motorbike behind despite its position as an outsider. Pleasing looks, accessible riding and the low price make the shortcomings that were brought to light in the direct comparison fade into the background.

Honda CBR650R 2019

The new CBR650R takes the spirit we know from classic four-cylinder sports tourers and brings it into the modern era. Thanks to the good engine tuning, you don't have to worry about being left behind by your two-cylinder friends, especially as you are rewarded with a lovely sound across the rev range. Unfortunately, however, there can be too much sound, as the roar below 4,500 rpm proved. On the chassis and seating position side, a compromise has been found that allows the CBR650R to cope well with everyday riding, as well as longer tours and house track hunts.
