16YM CBR650F
With the demise of the Honda CBR600RR as Honda’s middleweight sportsbike, the CB650F and CBR650F soldier on into 2017 with two special new colour schemes. Priced at RM44,730 for the CB650F naked sports and RM46,850 for the full-fairing CBR650F, availability at Honda Impian dealers will be from January 23 onwards.
The new colour scheme is Matte Black, with the choice of a red or white chassis, for both machines. The red-framed CB and CBR get white lettering with red/white accents, while the white-framed model comes with white letters and flourescent yellow highlights.
Carrying a liquid-cooled 649 cc DOHC four-stroke inline-four, the CB650F and CBR650F put out 81.8 hp at 9,500 rpm and 63 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm, which, sharp-eyed readers will notice, is 4 hp down from the 2017 Honda CB/CBR. Fuelling is with Honda’s PGM-FI, and power gets to the ground via a six-speed box.
Braking is with Nissin calipers in front grabbing 320 mm discs in front and a hydraulic caliper clamping a single disc at the back. The photos illustrating this article depict the Euro-spec edition of the bike and the Malaysian versions of the Honda CB650F and CBR650F do not come with ABS.
The standard versions of the Honda CB650F and CBR650F are also available in Sword Silver Metallic, Pearl Metalloid White and Pearl Himalayas White, with black frame, at RM43,458 and RM45,578, respectively. All Boon Siew Honda CB650F and CBR650Fs come with a two-year or 20,000 km manufacturing warranty, whichever comes first.

No ABS?! Seriously, its 2017 man.
I think it’s time for the government to consider making ABS compulsory for motorcycles with 150cc and above if not all motorcycles.If all bikes have ABS then the prices will definitely goes up.However the consumer will have no choice but to buy them.At the moment there are bikes with and without ABS.The price difference between them is great depending on make and model.Consumers will definitely buy the cheaper model even without ABS.
Example,here in my hometown Suzuki vstrom with ABS is RM50k
Kawasaki Versys without ABS is RM44k.Should it be fitted with ABS price would be about RM47k.It is a no brainer which consumer will buy.This example is not Kawasaki vs Suzuki only but applies for other models too.
im not sure which hometown you are in but here Vstrom is CBU and Versys is CKD. Different starting price.
Suzuki don’t have assembly plant for bigger bikes here so it’s cbu and the other plant sudah bungkus liao
where’s the Honda CBR250?
so long also haven’t launch…. not efficient at all
Ask any indon when they go back, bring the cbr250rr to bolehland on their next trip. Bring in parts & then reassemble here.
still no ABS, cheapskate boon siew think malaysian live’s is so cheap. we should ban all bike with no ABS, ESPECIALLY big bike one!
The current CBR600RR us ugly. And you know it. It’s Honda mistake. If it aint broke, dont fix it.
Actually honda had to remove from lineup cause that model aren’t euro 4 ready as EU dictate last year that all motorcycle must pass euro 4 emissiom standard
650cc bike no ABS… 40k over motorcycle and there’s no option for better safety.. screw Boon Siew.
cukur lah…….Motorbike still below 50k price….
Boon Siew Honda should come up with 60th anniversary special edition this 2017. Pick your most popular selling model.
