WITH Yamaha's MT-07 and MT-09 selling like hotcakes, it was only a matter of time before they made a 125cc version to go up against KTM's popular Duke 125.
The CB650F is Honda's latest bid to excite existing motorcyclists while also attracting new ones. It manages the former. Let's hope it does the latter.
IT felt a little underwhelming when Honda announced the CB650F in November, a replacement for the popular Hornet 600 but making 14hp less. It's one of two new models using the same engine and frame, the other being the fully-faired CBR650F.
