Quick Highlights:

  • CB650R & CBR650R priced at Rs 9.20 lakhs and Rs 9.99 lakhs (ex-showroom) respectively.
  • Both share similar engine, chassis, suspension and other stuff.


 Take a look at the Fresh new CB650R & CBR650R


Honda CBR650R

The CBR650R is a sport-oriented motorcycle that is part of Honda's CBR family. It's designed for riders looking for a bike that can perform on the road, with a focus on sporty handling and aggressive styling.

  • Engine: It’s powered by a 649cc inline-four engine, offering a good balance of power and refinement, delivering smooth acceleration and high-revving capability.
  • Performance: With a six-speed gearbox and a peak power output of around 94 hp, the CBR650R is ideal for both experienced riders and those looking to step up to a sportier machine. It offers solid performance for highway cruising and spirited canyon carving.
  • Chassis & Design: It comes with a sharp, aerodynamic design, aggressive fairings, and a comfortable yet sporty riding posture. The chassis is designed for agility, featuring a steel twin-spar frame and sporty suspension components.
  • Features: Modern touches like LED lighting, digital displays, and advanced braking systems (with ABS) are standard.

Honda CB650R

The CB650R, on the other hand, is part of Honda’s Neo Sports Cafe lineup. It's a naked bike that blends retro aesthetics with modern performance and technology. This bike is aimed at riders who prefer a more upright, relaxed riding position with a focus on everyday usability.

  • Engine: Like the CBR650R, the CB650R shares the same 649cc inline-four engine but is tuned for a more accessible power delivery. It’s slightly more street-friendly, providing excellent throttle response while still offering high-end performance.
  • Performance: With a similar power output (around 94 hp), the CB650R excels in everyday situations, offering a versatile ride whether you're commuting or cruising at high speeds.
  • Chassis & Design: The CB650R has a minimalist, retro-inspired design with modern elements. The lack of full fairings gives it a more "naked" and aggressive look, making it a popular choice for riders who like a balance of aesthetics and function. The bike's frame and suspension are designed for comfort and handling in urban environments.
  • Features: The CB650R also features modern tech such as LED lighting, digital displays, and ABS. The upright riding position offers greater comfort for city riding and longer distances.
