Mr. Yadvinder Singh Guleria, Senior Vice President - Sales and Marketing, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Pvt. Ltd said, “Less than 2 weeks after the national launch of CB300R, Honda is proud to unleash its second global blockbuster in the middle-weight segment under the Silver Wing-mark umbrella. After the 2019 global fun model line-up unveil in EICMA, Honda has now opened bookings for its new middle-weight sports machine CBR650R in India too. With an aggressive Fireblade inspired bodywork, strong dose of CBR sporting intent & intense power, Honda’s Make-in-India CBR650R will entice fun bikers of India like never before!”
The styling on the new Honda CBR650R takes direct cues from the Fireblade with its sharp, aggressive lines and extended side fairings plus the super-short rear section. The front fascia now features a narrow dual headlamp akin to the Fireblade with modern full LED lighting. It also gets a digital LCD display. The handlebars clip-on below the top yoke and the instruments feature a Gear Position and Shift Up indicator.
The engine on the new Honda CBR650R is a 649cc liquid cooled four-cylinder, DOHC 16-valve unit. It gets an Assist/Slipper Clutch and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) which maintains rear wheel traction and can be switched off should the rider choose to. Other improvements include a 6 Kg lighter chassis when compared to its predecessor which is bound to enhance the agility of the new CBR650R.


Suspension duties are handled by an adjustable 41 mm Showa Separate Fork Function (SFF) USD forks up front. In the braking department the new Honda CBR650R gets a dual radial-mount calipers matching with a single-piston rear caliper. Dual channel ABS is also standard. And with the inline-4 engine and 4 exhaust downpipes sweeping together around the front of the engine, and the specially designed muffler are sure to give the new CBR650R a raspy exhaust note.
The CBR650R will be available in 2 colours - Grand Prix Red & Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic. Bookings are now open from Honda exclusive Wing World (listed ahead) outlets across India at INR 15,000/-.
