Got the 1st cbr 650r of north India on 3rd may 2019 from chandigarh I had a great experience because i was the very first one to receive the bike luckily.This is the best vehicle one can ride being a newbie for a 500+ cc segment and also for the inline 4 cylinder segment. I wanted a fully faired bike because of my previous yet good bike(r15 v1) which could deliver not so aggressive but power-packed performance in daily commutes & long rides as well. And this bike had the exact sports tourer features which fulfilled my requirements.The bike is smooth af. No vibrations on low-high rpms. About looks - will just say she's an eye candy *mic drop*Performance-wise she might disappoint some kawa lovers because the bike ain't that beastly aggressive But the power I've experienced is great, linear and controlled especially for a noobie Service & maintenance is super convenient. Got 1st, 2nd service @3200 & @2500 bucks respectively. I hope you can calculate the pros & cons of this. Thanks.

I had this bike for a couple of month. It was my brother's bike. The bike is punchy and refined at the same time. It looks sporty and has a committed riding position. Good for a short-medium ride. Will not recommend for touring. It's a monster on the track...The 4 cylinder engine feels buttery smooth on the track.

Most reasonable maintenance for a 650cc super-bike

Look wise it is an atom bomb.It has a linear power delivery &won't scare ,but it gives a very much enjoyable ride .This bike is comfortable at the time sporty too.The mileage is pretty much decent for bike of this type.The on road price of this bike is not too high comparatively with other super bikes even though it is a 650cc 4 cylinder bike .Overall it had given me a nice ride.
