The 2023 CBR650R/CB650R was just announced in Europe on October 25, and we expect it to be released in Japan as soon as possible. The Japanese version will likely comply with the 2020 emission regulations and will be available in a different color scheme from the European version.
CBR650R Japan specifications are now available in red, black, and white, and the CB650R is now available in all black!
The new 2023 European-spec CBR650R/CB650R lineup is centered on the CB, with the CBR available in red and black and the CB in red, gray, blue, and black. In Japan, on the other hand, the CBR will increase from two colors (red and black) to three with the addition of white, while the CB will likely be reduced to two colors (black and blue) with the elimination of red.
The topic for the domestic version is that the new 2023 CBR650R is expected to be available in Pearl Glare White for the first time. In addition, the matte black will be almost entirely black, including the engine and front fork.
The new CB650R for 2023 will continue to be available in matte black but will be completely black, including the rear suspension springs and other details. This could be said to be the same coloring as the CB1000R Black Edition, only the exhaust system is silver, so it is not expected to be treated as an edition.
The only mechanical change will be compliance with 2020 emission regulations. The expected launch date is mid-February 2023, and the price is unknown.
