The CB650R/CBR650R underwent a major model change in 2019, refining its performance based on the CB650F/CBR650F and changing its name from F to R. The major change with the 650R is the appearance. The F had a single light and used the same parts as its naked sibling, the CB650F, but the R had a double light with a separate cowl design. On the other hand, its sibling, the CB650R, has round-eyed lights, making the character of the 2 motorcycles more distinct.
What this 600-class CB/CBR has is an all-rounder that can wield a luxurious 4-cylinder in everyday use. The CB650R/CBR650R can be used for city riding, touring, sport riding, and anything in between.
In this article, I'll introduce some recommended custom parts that will make your CB650R/CBR650R even cooler, more stylish and more fun to ride.
