Honda Bros 650

The Honda Bros 650 road bike model was produced from 1988 to 1992. Despite such a short release period, the model still has many fans around the world. At the time of its release, the Honda Bros 650 was considered to be technically advanced - an aluminum diagonal frame, a "Pro-Arm" cantilever rear swingarm, installed on the sports tourist Honda VFR750F.

However, the main feature of the motorcycle is its engine, which is a V-shaped 2-cylinder liquid-cooled block with a volume of 647 cc. see, issuing 56 hp. power and almost 57 Nm of torque, available already at 6000 rpm. The engine has a steady, confident thrust at low and medium revs. This engine was also installed on models Honda NT 650 Deauville and Honda XL 650 V Transalp.

Main modifications of Honda Bros 650:

  • Honda NT650 Hawk GT - version for the American market. Produces 58.5 hp. power, has a 2-piston front caliper. It differs from other modifications in the gear ratios of the gearbox.
  • Honda NTV 650 (Revere) - version for the European market. Equipped with a steel frame, it produces up to 60 hp. power, has a cardan drive, a 19-liter fuel tank, rebound-adjustable rear suspension and a central stand.
