Rider Profile

Best ForSuits newer-to-intermediate riders who want a friendly inline-four sportbike without the intimidation of a full liter-class machine.
PurposeBuilt as an approachable middleweight sport bike that balances everyday usability with a taste of four-cylinder sporting character.
Rider FitA moderate 810mm seat height and manageable 212kg wet weight make it accessible to riders of average and smaller stature.
CharacterSmooth, revvy inline-four engine paired with relaxed steering geometry gives a composed, non-twitchy, confidence-inspiring ride.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking track-focused razor-sharp handling, serious off-road capability, or class-leading outright speed.

2017 Honda CBR650F ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Honda CBR650F ABS, 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.
