Model development

CBR 650 F

RC74 (2014)

Derived from the CBR 600 model , Honda launched an almost completely redesigned motorcycle in 2014. The completely new high-torque four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 649 cm³ develops 87 hp (64 kW). It was developed for a practical power development over a wide range, even at speeds below 4000 revolutions. The maximum torque of 63 Nm is already at 8000 min ^-1 (cf. CBR 600 F PC41. 66 Nm at 11,250 min ^-1 ). The maximum speed is given as 195 km / h. The bridge frame is made of steel and absorbs the forces of the aluminum swing arm via a monoshock spring strut that can be adjusted in seven stages (without lever). The conventional telescopic fork with a standpipe diameter of 41 mm has no adjustment option. The Nissin brake system, only available with ABS in Germany, consists of a double disc brake (rigid) at the front with a diameter of 320 mm, double-piston brake caliper (floating caliper) and sintered metal pads in combination with a single disc brake 240 mm and single-piston brake caliper at the rear.

RC 96 (2017)

As part of the Euro 4 regulations that came into force in 2017, various components were modified. A revision of the intake tract and a new exhaust system increased the output to 90 hp (66 kW). A shortening of the gear ratio of gears 2 to 5 improved the torque. The model also received an LED headlight, a new dual-bending valve fork from Showa and modified Nissin brake calipers.
