The demand for the two-wheel market has never been this exciting as before. Motorcycle manufacturers create products to meet the needs and desires of customers. While many offer the best value for money, the race to provide customers with all the thrills is quite a typical scenario.

Let’s go straight to Honda’s newest middleweight sports bike—the all-new CBR650R! Here are 4 Reasons Why the all-new Honda CBR650R is an exciting middleweight sports bike:

1.) BEST ENGINE IN ITS CLASS. The all-new CBR650R is a powerful middleweight sports bike equipped with a 4-stroke, 16-valve, DOHC Inline 4-Cylinder engine. Additionally, its latest model highlights an exciting Euro 5 compliant, which focuses on enhancing both its electronics and engine. With its maximum power output of 70.0 kW at 12,000 rpm and maximum torque of 63.0 Nm at 9,500 rpm, users will immensely enjoy its do-it-all character with inline-four engines with a strong mid-range and zip of top end. It also comes with Assist/Slipper clutch, which allows shifts with little effort on the lever and keeps the wheel on the ground even on the most rapid downshifts.

2.) BETTER SUSPENSION. Another feature that will topple its rivals is the incredible handling qualities, powered by through fine-tuned front and rear suspension settings, 41mm SFF-BP USD Front Forks (Showa) for a supple ride, while the braking system is handled by front dual 310mm x 4.5 mm disc with Nissin radial-mount 4 piston calipers and a 240 mm x 5 mm disc with single-piston caliper at the rear, made in Steel Diamond Frame Type and 2-Channel ABS.

3.) STRIKING DESIGN. Looking at its all angles, the all-new CBR650R is nothing but an allure of dynamism, as the added brighter headlights offer visibility on the go. Another feature is its full-LED lighting system for an even stronger beam, which helps riders to cut through dark areas. Further, the negative-display LCD meter panel offers visibility with advanced information like gear position, digital speedometer, fuel consumption, water temp gauge, and shift-up indicator to keep the rider on the go. With elegant curves gorgeous in the lustrous, rich red of the famous Grand Prix, the all-new CBR650R is genuinely bold and aggressive in Grand Prix Red. It is also available in equally magnificent Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic color.  Its sharper, super sports image makes it a powerful track-day middleweight guaranteed to provide the ultimate racing experience.

4.) SAFETY RIDE. The Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) technology is a helpful feature to keep the rider doubly safe on the road. It detects sudden braking, or if there’s a need to stop unexpectedly, it automatically activates a hazard lamp, which flashes at high speed to warn any nearby vehicles. Moreover, it has a decidedly powerful Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) for traction control on slippery surfaces or during aggressive riding conditions by allowing the system to adjust its engine power to optimize torque at the rear wheel, minimizing slip.

The all-new Honda CBR650R is priced at PHP530,000.
