Honda Unveils New Edition of Its High-Performance Motorcycle Series

Honda has unveiled its latest lineup of high-performance motorcycles in Vietnam, introducing new models and updated pricing.

CB650R and CBR650R Duo

The Honda CB650R features a sleek LED headlight with a curved design and a redesigned radiator shroud, making it a standout in the Neo Sport Café naked-bike category. The bike also boasts a sharp rear cowl and a brand-new taillight.

Its sibling, the CBR650R, showcases a revamped dual LED headlight setup, along with refined fairings and a revised tail section.

Both the CB650R and CBR650R are equipped with a 5-inch TFT display and Honda’s E-Clutch electronic clutch system. The E-Clutch technology eliminates the need for manual clutch operation during gear shifts, allowing riders to change gears using only the gear pedal, similar to a quick-shifter. This feature can be toggled on or off via the TFT screen.

The Honda CB650R is priced at 256,99 million VND, while the CBR650R is available for 264,99 million VND.

Honda CB500 Hornet

The CB500 Hornet is powered by a 471cc engine, delivering 37.1 kW of power and 43 Nm of torque. Its upgraded fuel injection system enhances low-end acceleration, providing a more responsive riding experience.

The bike features air vents near the headlight, directing airflow towards the fuel tank. The new LED headlight offers a broader illumination range.
