The transmission has also undergone some updates for improved shifting.\u00a0You\u2019ll notice the budget front and rear suspension, it\u2019s not unstable, but nothing plush, either. Both the ABS model and the Standard model bikes come in a Black Matte Metallic and Silver color.<\/p>\n

The 2016 Honda CBR650F that originally hit the market in the 2014 model year, is a midsized sportbike that can do it all. This comfortable, sharp handling Honda motorcycle with a 649cc inline-four-cylinder four-stroke engine can be a daily commuter or a weekend canyon carver. \u00a0Honda claims this new engine produces a max output of 86 horsepower at 11,000 rpm and 46 foot-pounds of low-end torque at 8,000 rpm.<\/p>\n

Seat height is at 31.9 inches, and the bike has a wet weight of 454 lbs. The front suspension is a 41 mm Showa fork with 4.7 inches of travel but is not adjustable.

The Honda Metropolitan, a fuel-efficient, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected four-stroke 50cc scooter, has been updated\u00a0for the Honda motorcycle model lineup 2016 model year. \u00a0The all-new bodywork with rounded lines is available in three new color choices: Pearl White, Pearl Blue and Red and has a new Metropolitan emblem. Some people may think that this scooter may be an electric bike, because of it modern looks, but it still has a reliable and clean engine to boot.<\/p>\n

A great ride for running errands around town or driving to class across campus, this scooter has a convenient hook for holding shopping bags or book bags, and an under seat, locking storage compartment that can hold a full-size helmet. The liquid cooled engine is quieter and environmentally friendly compared to an air-cooled, two-stroke engine.<\/p>\n
