Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB650F 2018

In its latest stage of development, the 2017 Honda CB 650 F is exactly the four-cylinder naked bike we wanted from Honda. Crisp engine tuning and a shorter gear ratio ensure a quick sprint to 100 km/h, including a screaming four-cylinder sound. The chassis tuning is also very sporty, which makes you feel comfortable on the Honda right away. With LED lighting technology, Honda proves that the CB 650 F is in step with the times, only the display deserves a makeover.
