Launched at the 2019 Malaysia Autoshow were the 2019 Honda CB650R and Honda CBR650R, priced at RM43,499 and RM45,499 respectively, excluding road tax, insurance and registration. The middleweight duo replace Honda’s outgoing CBR650F four-cylinder which featured in the paultan.org RM50,000 Motorcycle shoot out last year.
The DOHC, 649 cc sixteen-valve inline four-cylinder liquid-cooled mill is shared between the CBR650R and CB650R and puts out 93.8 hp at 12,000 rpm and 64 Nm of torque at 8,500 rpm, fed by Honda’s PGM-Fi through 32 mm diameter throttle bodies. Power gets to the ground via a six-speed gearbox and assist and slipper clutch with chain final drive.
Also common between Honda’s new middleweights is the suspension, which uses a Showa separate function upside-down fork (SFF) in front – 6 kg lighter than previous. At the back is a monoshock with 10-position preload adjustment, attached to a cast aluminium swingarm.
Braking is done with radial-mount Nissin callipers in front grabbing 310 mm discs with a single calliper and 240 mm drake disc on the rear wheel. Two-channel ABS is standard, as is Honda’s version of traction control, called Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC).
Aside from the obvious difference in styling, where the CBR650R is a fully-faired sports bike while the CB650R follows Honda’s Neo Sports Cafe naked sports design, the CBR650R weighs in at 207 kg while the CB650R tips the scales at 202 kg. Fuel is carried in a 15.4-litre tank while seat height is set at 810 mm for both bikes.
Inside the cockpit an all-new LCD instrument display can be found, with LED lighting now used in the front and rear. Colour options for the 2019 Honda CBR650R are Grand Prix Red and Matte Gun Powder Black Metallic, while the CB650R comes in Candy Chromosphere Red and Graphite Black, with delivery to Honda Big Wing showrooms expected to be next month.

Pretty girls
The girls with their torn clothes are blocking the bikes…
Next time ask them to stand at the side and also inform them that they can buy proper attire at shopping complexes, pasar malam, online …..
These girls compulsory to wear provided by Honda motorcycle model uniforms, they kenot simply buy and wear proper shopper or pasar malam or online sourced attire!
Don’t be over-smart teaching models non-compliant play truancy and indiscipline!
Why disturbs their livelihood and occupation?
Go for English classes bro….
They look great and respectable? Ok bro lmao
No it is not fine. They don’t need to wear such dresses to promote a bike. Simple formal wear will do just fine.
What is more important is the sales technique and bike features, not the girls or how they dress.
Don’t be the type to judge women by how pretty we are. Don’t be a Neanderthal sexist. Respect us.

Store this to your twisted brain – respect is be earned not asked. How you respect women like that? If your daughter(s) like that will you give your respect to them?
Their attire is elegant and proper…shut up if u don’t have better things to comment
Freedom of speech bro … take it easy…
I know you are just being sarcastic;) no way you are that dumb
There’s 1 cute Japanese girl reviewing cb250r n cb1000r on YouTube… N she doesn’t wear torn clothes but rather fully riders outfit.. She’s way more beautiful n natural than these 2 ladies.. n she complement the bike perfectly.. I want to buy the bike not the superficial sexually exploited women..
The bikes are more interesting that the girls.
Honestly No, Girls r more interesting than bike over here!
For 45.5 k I’ll get the girls 1st not the bike!
As expected, some of our hero start to complain the attire of the showgirls. That is why why we are behind Thailand.
Is it wrong for bike geeks to be more interested in the bike than the girls? Stop being sexist. That is the reason why we are behind the rest of the world until we start treating women with respect and not justify oogling at them.
Dig the cafe styled one, thumbs up.. super competitive price for a 4inline, showa forks, nissin calipers & great styling..
Came earlier than I thought. But the pricing is slightly high.
Finally…more affordable 4 cylinder bikes with full fairing…good job honda bring them into malaysia market
I clicked on this article to view the girls though.
Copy paste: “That is why why we are behind Thailand.”
The babe at the right hand side is not happy. Why?
For being treated as sex object in this day and age. Can see so many horny guys whacking the commenter above who are more interested on the bike than the girl.
Now it’s not so easy to choose between this and the MT-09. The 09 is lighter yet more powerful and torquey and has adjustable suspension but rm4k pricier. This cb is slightly cheaper and honda has better build quality than yamaha although being an inline4 it is heavier. I guess the only way to decide is by test riding each bike or maybe Mohan can do a shootout between these 2 sub-50k bikes.
Seeing a naked bike more cooler than a fairing bike is rare af! Who else liked this naked look more than the fairing?
Highly priced. Dulu tak silap previous one was at 39k something while previous facelift MT-09 ckd was at 43k (exclude ins,etc). Now its the range of MT-09 price already, more than Yang-Mahal.
Nice design, but good luck
Its inline 4, yamaha is inline 3. Of course price will be higher than mt09. But lower than z9
Look at the revised specs bro, dulu unbranded front suspension.. Now Showa big piston forks.. There is also bump in horse power.. Guess tuning mayb..Revised styling to the front and side fairings.. Plus there are riding modes aswell..
But I think this CB650R was more neat and fine than MT09.
all bikes brand are jumping into the LCD/LED wagon, unlike cars, bikes are expose to often direct sunlight, no matter how bright the panel are, there are times when vision is not 100% visible. personally still like the needle type, always clear, with our scorching sun,for daily rider, am certain it would not last or will start to fade.
X? adv/ touring/DP version? baru bole lawan versys 650 & strom
Nice bike.. pretty girls..
I think the girls look great. They are hot and sexy and they go well with the bikes from an overall marketing standpoint. I love women. If they are hot, they are hot and that is all there is to it.
ok,so the question now is should I buy yamaha mt09 or Honda cb650r now?
The pricing is not keen enough to steal any sales from MT09, which is more powerful and lighter.
For a 650 class, my choice still goes to Suzuki 650sv, which is cbu japan.
Cheapest inline-four at the moment in Malaysia
Hi,
I’d like to get your clarification on the prices of these 2019 bikes eg. CB650R ABS, CBR650R ABS, GSX-S750 ABS, Z900 ABS & MT-09, if you may.
As mentioned, Honda Cb650r OTR is RM43, 499.00 (w/o Ins) right? Let’s just say +RM2K for Ins = ~ RM45.5K.
How come when I inquired frm the bikes shops (in Penang & online ads elsewhere), prices becomes RM50K+ at least. Frm RM53K+ to RM57K+ for these mentioned bikes. That’s ~ RM9K-RM10K hike.
Another thing is, how do I check physically (on the bikes) the mfg year/model of the bikes? Coz I believe a lot of the sellers/shops would claim that theirs are 2019 models when they actually aren’t. They ordered & arrived the old brand new/unregistered models in 2019 [stock clearing may be]).
Thanks for your assistent.
Sincerely yours
Izham Ibrahim
i do love the 4 cylinder engine.the overall design is not not that bad.but the modern looks with MONOSHOCK sux.the exhaust also a big NO NO.the front light is a NO. the body design is a no.if honda know what a cafe racer is then the back would be a 90 degree angle for easy conversion to brat/cafe racer style.
