Few motorcycles can claim to be exceptional at all things, but the Honda CB650R is one bike that stands out from the rest. It starts with the inline-four engine, oozing with power and begging to be revved. Then there’s the seating position, placing you more upright for long-distance comfort. Perhaps the best part is the ‘Neo Sport’ styling, offering a modern take on the naked sportbike with waterfall-style headers, wide handlebars and LED lighting front and back and ABS as standard. In a cluttered class, the CB650R rises to the top in performance, functionality and all-out fun plus its learner approved so ideal for new riders on restricted licences.
