Honda Old Generation CBR 650R 2021 Summary
The 2022 Honda CBR650R has arrived in the Indian market to rival the likes of the Kawasaki Ninja 650. The mechanical specifications retain the BS6-compliant 648.72cc, liquid-cooled, inline four-cylinder engine that is linked to a six-speed gearbox and produces 85.8bhp at 12,000rpm and 57.5Nm of peak torque at 8,500rpm.
The 2021 model retains the styling cues of the 2021 model and it continues to feature a twin-pod headlight, fairing-mounted rear-view mirrors, a full-fairing design, a muscular fuel tank, split-style seats, and a compact exhaust canister. The 2022 model is available in two colours – Grand Prix Red and Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic.
The feature list includes full-LED lighting, an LCD instrument cluster, a dual-channel ABS, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), Honda Ignition Security System (HISS), and Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) technology. The six-speed gearbox benefits from an assist and slipper clutch.
The hardware on the 2022 model comprises a steel diamond frame, 41mm Showa Separate Function Big Piston front forks, a preload-adjustable rear mono-shock, twin 310mm discs at the front, and a 240mm rotor at the back. The motorcycle tips the weighing scale at 211kg (kerb).

The Honda Cbr 650r engine is very refined and the exhaust note is very smooth and constant and looks also good. Performance is ok but it can be better in this price range. Service maintenance is good and affordable.Pros are good-looking, light weight short riders who will also ride easily from the rear side not looking good-looking small bike.

I think it has to do with growing up in a non-metro city that I still have a soft spot for fully-faired bikes. We grew up with mostly small-displacement bikes, amazing two-strokes at that, and anything fully faired was always an import and definitely powerful. Everyone in the town knew who had a big sports bike and in all likelihood, it was a Honda Fireblade, probably owned tenth-hand, but hey, it was a fully faired sports bike. So when Honda launched the revised CBR650R in India, its look alone was enough for me to like the motorcycle. It looks so much like the Fireblade, and that can never be a bad thing

CBR 650R VS Z900
2 years ago
Lokesh Chaudhari
As a fellow biker who goes on a Sunday ride, this bike is absolute perfection. Took my friend’s bike for a spin and let me tell you from the sound the feedback of this bike is fabulous. It is a well-built machine the way it manages its weight, the smoothness is unbeatable. People compare it with z900, but this one oh lord! very forgiving very nimble and very stunning.

When we went to the dealership first of all service was great. Then I have taken it to the service center and they returned the bike at the correct time. We also have an activa 4g and we have always had a good experience with the service center. If anyone has the money go for it it's a real gem considering the price. And honda bikes/scooters don't have reliability issues.

11 lakh for 85 bhp.. ninja zx6R better option
4 years ago
Csl
11 lakh is too expensive for a 85 bhp bike. Ninja zx6R better option much more powerful and feature loaded.Styling is very strange, front end head is high and rear end is on lower level than head light that gives it a very bad shape look. Honda designers need to learn to draw bike designs. They just just scale fire blade down as it is . 650 looks dirty.
