USER OPINION

Latest Updates
Tuesday, 07 November 2023 03:49 PM The 2024 Honda CBR650R has been revealed with several significant updates, including the introduction of Hondas new E-Clutch technology. This feature allows riders to start, stop, and change gears without using the clutch lever, though the traditional clutch can still be used. The bike also features a new full-color TFT display, all-LED lighting, and revised styling closer to its sportbike siblings. I think this tech will make the riding experience much more enjoyable and less tiring.
Wednesday, 25 October 2023 07:58 AM Honda has announced that the 2024 CBR650R will be available in India, with prices expected to be under Rs. 8 lakh (ex-showroom). The bike will be sold through Hondas BigWing Topline showrooms and will include updates such as new styling, LED lighting, and the E-Clutch system. This move is likely to attract more buyers in the middleweight sport bike segment.

The bike was introduced as a Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kit and is available exclusively through Honda BigWing Topline showrooms. It received minor upgrades for the new model year, enhancing its appeal in the Indian market. I believe this pricing makes it a competitive option in its class.
Monday, 24 June 2019 09:50 PM For the first time in India, a Honda CBR650R was fitted with an Austin Racing exhaust, offering a unique sound enhancement for enthusiasts. This customization option highlighted the bikes potential for aftermarket modifications, appealing to riders looking for a personalized riding experience. I believe such customizations can really elevate the bikes appeal.

I think the balance between performance and comfort is a key selling point.

This move marked Hondas entry into the middleweight sport bike segment in India.

Honda CBR650 Review

27 Dec, 2021 11:11 AM

Quick Review by Maxabout Team

Honda has been ruling the commuter segment with its gear-less scooter being on the top of all this time. The company has seen the future of middle weight bikes in India and the growing craze for the same has been the basic reason for the introduction of CBR650F in India. It is now officially available in India and has been launched @ the Honda Revfest event for Rs. 7.30 lakhs. Honda CBR650F is a superb performer, with everything balanced for a perfect riding experience.

Design & Style

The bike comes with a faired design as the F in its name defines. The fairing has been done in such a way that the engine can be seen through the side body. The front gets a sharp body design and the single headlight cluster looks really different as all others have a twin headlight cluster generally. The fairing has been evenly spread around when seen from the front and the stylish visor suits the personality of the bike. The design of the alloy wheels looks pretty good. The rear seems to be simple yet attractive due to its huge tyre profile.

Honda CBR650 Instrument Console

The console on the CBR650F seems to be different, with a dual LCD panel, fully digital instrument console, separated with the turn indicators in the center. The center part of the console looks really odd for such a brilliant bike, on whose left is the digital tachometer and speedometer. The right side houses other important technical details like odometer. The overall layout looks great, but the old fashioned lights for the indicators in the center seems to be out-dated.

Honda CBR650 Engine & Performance

The CBR650F has no flaws when talked about its overall performance. Born for the show stealing purpose, the Honda's 648.72cc engine produces a max of 85.28 BHP @ 11,000 rpm and 62.9 NM @ 8000 rpm from its 4-cylinder arrangement. The engine gets liquid cooling and the iconic PGM-FI from Honda. The whole system takes the CBR650F from 0 to 100 kmph in 3.96 seconds only, with a claimed mileage of 21 kmpl from Honda. The top speed comes out to be 222 kmph.

Honda CBR650 Suspension & Brakes

The CBR650F comes with 41mm telescopic forks for the front, with a travel of 4.3 inches. The rear gets the spring preload adjustable single shock. The front disc arrangement comes with twin 320mm hydraulic disc brakes with 2-piston calipers and the rear has a single 240 mm disc brake for an efficient braking experience. Dual channel ABS has been provided with the above arrangement to facilitate much better braking in non-ideal braking conditions. The front tire on the CBR650F measures 120/70-R17 whereas the rear conformation is yet to be made.

Honda CBR650 Shades, Variants & Ex-showroom Price

The CBR650F is available in only one shade - Pearl Metalloid White and single variant with ABS as standard with an ex-showroom price tag of INR 7,30,000. The bike has a straight competition with every middle weight racer in the country, but the price has been kept higher than expected.

Discussions and Answers Honda CBR650

I am having trouble deciding between the Honda CBR650R and Kawasaki Z900.
14 January 2023 10:35

When it comes to choosing between the Kawasaki Z900 and the Honda CBR650R, the decision comes down to several factors such as budget, brand preference, serviceability, engine preference, etc. The Kawasaki Z900 is one of the most cost-effective inline-four naked big bikes and comes with a powerful 125PS motor. It also offers TFT instrumentation, traction control, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes, all-LED illumination, and stunning looks. 

On the other hand, the Honda CBR650R is powered by a 649cc, liquid-cooled, inline-four engine that has been upgraded for a stronger mid-range. It now produces 87PS at 12,000rpm and 57.5Nm at 8500rpm. Furthermore, the bike features new graphics, a revised LED headlight reflector profile, and a USB Type-C port for under-seat charging. We suggest taking a test ride to get a better understanding of its performance and riding comfort.

Which one is better between Aprilia RS 660 and Honda CBR650R ?
05 January 2023 02:11
The Aprilia RS 660 is the clear winner when it comes to performance, speed and overall power. The Aprilia RS 660 is powered by a 660cc three-cylinder engine that produces a maximum power of 95.2PS at 10,500rpm and a peak torque of 67.5Nm at 8,500rpm. On the other hand, the Honda CBR650R is powered by a 649.7cc four-cylinder engine that produces a maximum power of 86.3PS at 11,000rpm and a peak torque of 62.9Nm at 8,000rpm. The Aprilia RS 660 also has superior acceleration compared to the Honda CBR650R. Additionally, the Aprilia RS 660 has a top speed of 250kmph, whereas the Honda CBR650R has a top speed of 240kmph. In terms of mileage, the Aprilia RS 660 offers an ARAI certified mileage of 25kmpl, whereas the Honda CBR650R offers an ARAI certified mileage of 22kmpl. All in all, the Aprilia RS 660 is the better option when it comes to performance, speed, power and overall mileage.

Honda is to manufacture this bike in India gradually increasing the localization over time, replacing the import of knock down units

CB650f is a better option for India, CBR650R is more of a track motorbike. However, better still develop a CB650X styled mobike to achieve volumes. Hope HMSI does take into consideration this practical suggestion, hopefully with most readers agreeing to my views.
