Announced on 14 December 1982, the CBX650 Custom was the first bike with Honda's new-generation engine: hydraulic valve adjusters, a brushless alternator behind the cylinders, a hydraulic clutch and a fully rubber-mounted engine set forward for balance. It had a six-speed gearbox, shaft drive and an LCD gear-position indicator, and weighed 197 kg dry.

Its engine is the root of the CBX750. Japan's police rode a white-bike version, the CBX650P, from 1982 to 1994.
