Honda CBR650R: The Honda CBR650R combines sport bike looks with everyday usability in a way that’s rare for middleweights. The CBR650R features an aggressive look inspired by the fire-spitting CBR1000RR and a crisp inline-four engine wrapped in a compact, sporty chassis that’s designed to be ridden far, and last longer. It comes with a sporty yet comfortable handling that caters to both amateur blokes breaking into the full-faired segment and seasoned customers seeking a bike which is more than just a daily commuter. The motorcycle is based on Honda’s tradition for seamlessly power and mechanical refinement with a package versatile and stylish as one could possibly imagine.
Honda CBR650R Eye-catching Style That Embraces Superbike DNA
And style wise the CBR650R is among the most mesmerizing products on offer. Clearly inspired by Honda’s flagship supersport machines, it’s sharp and sporty; with a more aggressive look than before, it will cut through the air like a hot knife through butter. The form-fitting fuel tank, low-rise handlebar, and swept-back tail section serve to further strengthen the motorcycle’s sport bike positioning. All tricked out and hulking, but somehow the proportions are well balanced enough to be turn-token friendly for many. Clean lines, dual headlamp setup and rear-set foot pegs state intent on performance, while fit-and-finish is as good as ever, which is to say, in line with Honda’s premium contemporaries. It’s a motorcycle that turns heads at stoplights and cuts a distinct figure on the open road.
Ergonomic Designed for Comfort and Control
What differentiates the CBR650R in its segment is the rider-oriented ‘Agh’ position. It is a full-on super streetbike, but where the Ninja ZX-6R (636) is at home on the racetrack, the new Ninja 650 is at home on the road – stylish big bike looks with a sporty yet friendly mindset. It is aggressive enough to provide a sensation of control on corners but relaxed enough to keep a rider comfortable for extended rides. The well-padded seat is low and the foot pegs are slightly rearset for a sporty, but not uncomfortable, riding triangle. The pillion seat is cramped, like most bikes of this ilk, but the rider’s perch is designed to keep you in the saddle longer between fuel stops. The bike holds relatively close to the tank and this thinness of the tank also gives great feel during aggressive spin while turning in city traffic, which means that Honda designed the bike to really versatile.
Excitement and Smoothness: Engine Performance at its Heart
The mean, motor sports inspired CBR650R packs a large volume 648.72cc, liquid-cooled, four-cylinder engine complemented by an extremely sporty sound. It makes close to 87 PS of maximum power at 12,000 rpm and 57.5 Nm of peak torque at 8,500 rpm. These figures aren’t record-breaking, however, what impresses is the sophistication and usable nature – the RR feels lively in every gear. The engine wakes to the limit over 6,000 rpm and belts out a unique four-cylinder exhaust note that’s so good that it could be a crime to change it as it plumbs the rev range. The six-speed gearbox has attention to detail to its credit, with well-assorted ratios and a slipper clutch that aids in gentler downshifts. It’s not unmanageably powerful, so the CBR650R is easy to ride for anyone even coming from much smaller machines.
Real-World Ready: Suspension and Brakes Calibrated for Versatility
With Showa SFF-BP (Separate Function Fork–Big Piston) USD forks in the front and a rear mono-shock, the CBR650R is set up to provide a good blend of sportiness and comfort. The bike holds up well bumpy city streets, twisty turns, and even short stints on the highway. It’s not too stiff, it’s not too soft which in turns aides in keeping the bike settled over all kinds of terrain. The braking is taken care of by dual 310mm discs at the front and a 240mm disc at the rear with dual-channel ABS for added safety. The brakes offer a porgressive bite, and give the rider a sense of confidence whether they are negotiating through traffic, or shedding a good lot of speeds on open roads. On the whole, the bike is nimble – a hallmark of Honda’s ability to produce a machine that doesn’t require a gymnastics routine to enjoy, nor does it feel unforgiving to ride for citing rider error.
Tech and Amenities That Enrich the Ride

Infotainment is displayed at a fully digital LCD that among other things gives gear position and fuel economy. Honda has also added their selectable torque control to act as a traction control system to help moderate wheel spin under hard acceleration or slippery road surfaces. All new Hyundai i20’s head lamps and tail-lamps are LED, providing enhanced night-time visibility and a sleek look. The bike might not have a bevy of high-end electronics such as riding modes, or a TFT dash that is available on some rivals, but that which it does have works well to enhance safety, functionality and enjoyment.
