      Well we have taken the test ride on both d bikes. My wife says that CBR is comfortable but is skeptical about long rides. Still contemplating between the two, if we decide to buy the Iron, it will be a used one as the price of a new one is over our budget. My mind still says CBR though!
      Of the 2, I would choose the CBR for the sort of riding that I enjoy.

      Best of luck for the purchase!!

      CHEERS!!

        Don't buy the Iron... Harley brakes are an issue and their attitude is even worst. But the CBR its a very good bike and you will not face issues on the long run. I did a 100 kms ride recently on my friend's bike and was bowled over. But then I decided to buy the Versys due to its Adventure settings. Should have my bike by 9th April.

        Rachit - Thanks a lot for your help the other day when we spoke over the phone. Your advice did help me a lot in deciding the bike.

                  Got the Bike Yesterday
                  First impressions : Feels huge [I come from R15V2 riding experience ], Engine Smoothness, amazing suspension set up, friendly power delivery, feels so planted. Oh boy the way it sounds at 5k+ rpms... too good

                  Following the run in as of now, not taking it beyond 5k rpms.

                      Just got my akra yesterday. Heart fell out when a hump scraped it. It might be a scratch but felt very bad about it. Any way to prevent this ? I just increased the suspension stiffness to 3.

                        Oh!! Sad to hear that bro. Happened with me once also. I had a pillion and didn't judge a speed breaker well. It was minor scratch on the exhaust.
                        it does pain to see a scratch on such expensive piece of metal although thankfully nobody will see it.

                        What is your weight, if I may ask. I have not done anything to my suspension.
                        I just take speed breakers very slowly and I have not faced this after that. I am around 75 KGs.

                            Is the 2016 model BS-IV compliant?

                                In that case, with a Pillion you just jack up the Pre-Load and hopefully it should be fine.

                                Yes, CBR650F is already BS4. I too had confirmed this.
