Not only for the CB series, Honda also updated the CBR650F into CBR650R. It still has more comfort than the big brother; CBR600RR but sure CBR650R has sportier looks than the old ugly CBR650F. It’s almost an all around bike, perfect for daily, weekend fun race, and still comfortable for long road touring.
I liked it honestly.. But it’s quite confusing to choose between the CB or the CBR. Both are beautiful, even more, I also quite love the Kawasaki W800 that has pure retro style instead the retro modern for CB650R.

The CBR650R is just better in almost all aspects compared to previous generation; CBR650F. It has more powerful engine, better looks, etc etc…. I want one in my garage though. How about you?!
