The Honda 650 cc standard and sport motorcycles are a range of 649 cc (39.6 cu in) inline-four standard and sport motorcycles made by Honda since 2013. The line includes the CB650F standard or 'naked bike', and the CBR650F sport bike that replaced outgoing CB600F Hornet.

The motorcycles have a new twin-spar steel chassis and a new inline-4 engine with a longer stroke increasing the displacement to 650 cc. ABS is optional, and a variant with ABS standard and restricted air intakes reduces the power below the 35 kW (47 hp) limit for the European A2 licence. They have four-into-one side-swept exhaust headers with a stubby exhaust muffler, which Honda claims improve mass centralisation. Honda made significant technical and cosmetic updates in 2017.
In November 2018, at EICMA, Honda announced the CB650R naked bike with their Neo Sports Café styling previously introduced on the CB1000R and CB300R, and the CBR650R sport bike with new Fireblade-style fairing. Both motorcycles also received significant chassis and engine updates.
