Can you ride the Honda CB650F on an A2 licence?
Yes, you can ride the Honda CB650F (2014 - 2016) on an A2 motorbike licence. However, you will need to fit a restrictor kit to reduce its power output and make it A2 licence compliant!
Honda CB650F (2014 - 2016)
The Honda CB650F is a highly practical and extremely versatile motorcycle. The bike is reliable, super-fun to ride and it looks really good on the road.
Honda has equipped this bike with an inline-4 engine that provides smooth power delivery, good acceleration and lots of revs. The performance is decent and there is no need to exchange this bike for a different model once you get your full motorcycle licence.
Compared to other bikes in the category, such as the Yamaha MT-07 or Triumph Street Triple, the CB650F offers a slightly better value for money. The build quality is excellent and the designers have clearly paid a lot of attention to detail while designing the bike.
It is very hard to find an A2-frienly bike that ticks all the boxes and that will suit most types of riders. However, the Honda CB650F has succeeded in most aspects and I would even say that you can’t go wrong with this bike.
A2 Licence Compliance
The Honda CB650F is a 649cc A2-friendly standard bike. It has a power output of 64 kW (86 bhp), which exceeds the 35 kW (47 bhp) limit needed for an A2 licence. The bike has to be restricted by at least 45.3% to become A2 licence compliant.
You will need a restrictor to ride the Honda CB650F on an A2 motorbike licence. See the restrictor kits section to check out what restrictors are available for the Honda CB650F.
