The 650 series underwent a major model change in 2019, improving the performance of the CB650F/CBR650F. With the name changing from F to R the CB650R and CBR650R were born. The major change with the 650R is in its appearance. The CBR650F had a single-lens light and shared parts with its naked counterpart, the CB650F, but the CBR650R's light is connected to the cowl, making it a twin-lens model. On the other hand, its counterpart, the CB650R, is equipped with a round light, making the characteristics of the two models more distinct. The 600-class CB/CBR is an all-rounder that can wield its luxurious four-cylinder engine on a daily basis. The strong point of the CB650R/CBR650R is that it can be used for everything, whether for street, touring, or sport riding. Here, we will introduce some recommended custom parts that will make your CB650R/CBR650R even cooler, more beautiful, and more fun to ride.

Exhausts that match both neo-retro and racing styles!

MORIWAKI: Full Exhaust CROSS-SHORT

This full exhaust makes for the classic combination of HONDA and MORIWAKI! The black super short silencer is perfect for the CB650R's neo-retro style.

MORIWAKI also offers the CROSS-SHORT Zero series with a short round silencer that fits the racing style of the CBR650R.

r's gear: Real Spec Single Type Full Exhaust

This r's gear full exhaust was developed based on the concept of "ultra light weight, big torque all around" and weighs 3.7kg, about 57% lighter than the stock exhaust! The CB650R is not that heavy to begin with, weighing 201kg, but by replacing the exhaust, the weight can be reduced to less than 200kg. We recommend this r's gear exhaust for easier handling and more torque.

AKRAPOVIC: Racing Line Full Exhaust

AKRAPOVIC is used in many of the world's most prestigious races, including MotoGP. It is now a very popular brand among the younger generation. The silencer and sub-silencer are integrated into one, making this exhaust look silencer-less. It matches both the neo-retro style CB650R and the racing style CBR650R.

Steps and handlebars for comfortable position change and shift feeling!

HONDA: Quick Shifter

This item is a stock HONDA option and enables shifting up without the need to operate the clutch lever. When you frequently operate the clutch during long-distance touring, it becomes harder and harder to hold the clutch lever due to fatigue. The quick shifter is a mechanism used for racing, but in fact it is also very useful for reducing fatigue on the street and when touring!

STRIKER: Special Step Kit

This rearset from STRIKER offers four different positions to help you find the best position for you. It is also compatible with the HONDA quick shifter mentioned above, making it a versatile rearset that can also be used in racing situations such as reverse shifting.

HURRICANE: FAT Swallow Special Handlebar

This HURRICANE Swallow handlebar is recommended for those who want a more aggressive position and style but don't want to be uncomfortable! The position is moved down 10mm and forward 5mm for a slightly forward leaning position. The angle of the throttle is also increased by 3 degrees to give you a more aggressive position when riding on winding roads or mountain passes. Since it is specially designed for the CB650R, holes for the switches have been drilled and it can be installed with the stock cables.

TSR: Shift Support Plate

This part reduces shaft flexing when shifting, and ensures a smooth shift feeling. Available in a choice of four colors, it can be used to dress up the foot area for a fashionable look!

Guard parts to protect the bike body!

ETCHING FACTORY: Radiator Guard

Pebbles and debris kicked up by the front tire, insects flying toward the headlight, many things can damage the radiator core. In some cases, there is a risk of damaging the water line and causing coolant leakage. If the radiator has to be replaced, the cost of parts alone for a CB650R/CBR650R radiator will exceed 50,000 JPY (Part No.: 19010-MKN-L21). To prevent such an expense, we recommended installing a radiator core guard.

MORIWAKI: Radiator Core Guard

MORIWAKI's radiator core guard has butterfly shaped mesh and features a simple yet elegant design. It is available in two colors, silver and black, allowing you to match the color and style of your bike.

STRIKER: Guard Slider

STRIKER sliders are designed to protect the bike from unexpected falls, and the base of the slider is machined from aluminum to give it a high quality look. This slider can be installed on the CBR650R without any modification to the cowl.

MOTO SKIN: Meter Protection Film TPU Crystal

Just as we put anti-scratch sheets on the screens of our cell phones, now is the time to put them on our meters as well. They protect the meter panel from abrasions caused by dust and sand that can accumulate when parked or while riding.

Spruce up the appearance with these exterior parts!

DAYTONA: Fender Eliminator Kit with LED license plate lamp

Fender eliminator kits have become a standard customization item. They give the rear area a clean and stylish look. This is an all-in-one bolt-on kit with all necessary parts for installation.

Stock HONDA Accessory for North America: Passenger Seat Cowl

This single seat cowl is a stock accessory for HONDA in North America! The slightly rounded tail section of the seat is finished with a racer-like design for the CBR650R and a more neo-retro design for the CB650R.

MORIWAKI: Frame Hole Plug

MORIWAKI is back again with frame hole plugs. The titanium gold color of the aluminum material is designed to match the bronze-colored clutch cover.

You can do anything with the CB650R/CBR650R! From racing to street, touring and customization.

We have introduced some recommended custom parts for your CB650R/CBR650R to make it more versatile and enjoyable. We hope you will enjoy the CB650R/CBR650R to the fullest whatever your needs or style may be!
