      I have seen a few video reviews, the engine sounds oh so sweet! Time to start saving up to me.
      Oh, you seem to be very optimistic. It won't be less than 7.5L if I go by Honda pricing.

        I have started mine too. Slightly behind you though on the amount.

        I am targeting around 2.5 to 3 for the downpayment around April. Hopefully now it gets launched by that time. I am ready take it for 7.5 On Road.
        If priced higher, then I will have to think.

          I am not that far behind your mark. Just 1.7499L behind. I have put the first 10 Rupees in the CBR 650F fund

            I have saved for Ninja 300 & ended up buying Hyundai EON last year. Now i have same situation like you fellows.

            BTW CBR 650-F won't be a fully localized bike. It should be a ckd version.

            I got an info that launching this bike would be in march-april 2015. The city wise would be held in very big place. For chennai, it is coming in Chennai trade center .

              Under 7 hopefully. I still want it to sell for the same price as the International models which is 5.8 lakhs but knowing our anti-common man taxations, that's a pipe dream really. I really really wanted HMSI to consider mustering up the courage like they did with the 250 and be the first ones to bring in localized middleweights, but yes the market isn't really that big to see big numbers and Thailand already exports to the worldwide market.
              India could export to South American and other smaller markets like with the 250R, but that's a lost cause at this point.
              CKD 6-6.5 lakhs ex showroom, i'm in. If its anything more then i can hold onto my money and wait for bigger models like the VFR 800 to come in via CKD as they promised if the 650F is a success.
              Looking at N650s sales figures in the 40-60 units/month, the whole Triumph fiasco and now Benellis, the 600 market is already diluting and pricing will be the key to their success.

                  They said they would consider importing bigger bikes if the CBR650F recieves a favorable response in India.

                    They have not mentioned any specific bike but it is a good news nevertheless! I would love to see the Cbr 650 next year on the roads.

                      There was a dealer's meet today at Delhi, the CBR650 was displayed there:

                      EDIT: They seem to be talking about a press conference tomorrow, 4th Feb. So a day of wait to see if this is true.

                        Did I miss something?
                        None of the Indian motoring website's mentioned the 650. This leaked pic was on Motoroids. But apart from that nothing else.

                        Any updates on the launch?

                          The 6 commuters/scooters that were launched on 4th Feb were unveiled at the same hotel somewhere in Gurgaon. These images are from a dealer's meet one day earlier when the CBR650 was "apparently" displayed to dealers. But it was not launched along with the commuter vehicles so:
                          1) It may be a possible photoshop job on the CBR650 pic being displayed
                          OR
                          2) Maybe it was discussed during dealer's meet and will be launched later

                          Either way I should have found better sources, fb is not too reliable.

                            From what I could figure, the information on that FB page was not accurate. The pic of CBR650f was picked from the EICMA show.
                            I did call the Honda Wings delhi. He said second half of this year launch is expected and hopefully bookings will open around July.
                            He said pricing will be competitive.

                                I expected that they were gonna price it like that, if thats the actual price, I wonder how many prospective buyers will go for it, considering the Z800 is just 50k or so higher.
