Rider Profile

Best ForApproachable for newer-to-intermediate riders yet rewarding for experienced ones; smooth, forgiving inline-four with predictable power delivery.
PurposeA versatile middleweight sport bike for spirited road riding, daily commuting, twisty backroads and light weekend touring.
Rider FitModerately sporty riding position, 810mm seat and 199kg wet weight; less committed than a supersport, comfortable for real-world use.
CharacterA friendly, refined all-rounder with a characterful screaming four-cylinder top-end wrapped in a practical, everyday-usable sport package.
Not Ideal ForNot for off-road use, riders chasing outright supersport lap times, or those wanting big-bore touring range and comfort.

2015 Honda CBR650F Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Honda CBR650F, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
