Honda CBR650F (2014 - 2017)

The Honda CBR650F is a great all-around sportsbike that is capable of sport-touring. It features excellent build quality and offers very good value for money. It is one of the very few motorcycles in the category that still come with an inline four cylinder engine.

The bike is equipped with twin LCD displays that are an improvement over the last model’s single LCD unit. Other than that, you will also get a brand new type of chassis and basic ABS brakes. There is no gear indicator and the suspension is not fully adjustable, which is a slight disappointment.

A2 Licence Compliance

The Honda CBR650F is a 649cc A2-friendly 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 CBR650F on an A2 motorbike licence. See the restrictor kits section to check out what restrictors are available for the Honda CBR650F.
