CBR650R
Honda CBR650R is an alluring blend of performance, design, and modern technology that has redefined the middleweight sports bike segment. Available exclusively at Honda Bigwing dealerships like Honda Bigwing Nashik Central, it caters to riders in Nashik who demand a combination of thrilling power, daily usability, and premium features. This detailed overview will explore every facet of the CBR650R, from its engine to its safety features, to help buyers make an informed choice.
Engine and Performance
At the heart of the CBR650R lies a 649cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, 16-valve DOHC inline four-cylinder engine. This powertrain produces a strong 95.17 PS at a high 12,000 rpm and 63 Nm of torque at 9,500 rpm, allowing the bike to accelerate briskly with smooth power delivery. The engine’s 11.6:1 compression ratio and fuel injection system optimize combustion efficiency and throttle response.
The six-speed transmission is paired with Honda’s signature E-Clutch system (slip-and-assist clutch), which reduces clutch lever effort and enhances gear shift smoothness—a boon in stop-and-go Nashik traffic and spirited highway runs. This engine setup propels the CBR650R to a top speed of approximately 240 km/h, making it one of the fastest bikes in its class.
Claiming a refined ride with a mileage benchmark of about 25 kmpl (ARAI), it balances power and fuel economy well for city commuters and touring riders alike.
Design and Styling
Drawing inspiration from the legendary CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, the CBR650R exhibits aggressive, aerodynamic styling featuring sharp lines and muscular contours. The bike wears a full fairing with sporty graphics and a sculpted fuel tank designed for an ergonomic rider posture.
Its dual LED headlights provide excellent illumination and a signature look at night, while the rear flaunts a sleek LED taillight and turn signals integrated into a compact package. Available in Matte Gunpowder Black and Grand Prix Red metallic paints, its color schemes further enhance its bold presence on Nashik roads.
The split seat offers both sporty aesthetics and comfort, equipped with passenger footpegs and ample cushioning for both rider and pillion. Attention to detail is seen in premium finishes throughout, including alloy wheels and a refined digital instrument cluster integrating all vital info.
Electronics and Instrumentation
The bike features a 5-inch full-colour TFT LCD display that provides rich data including a speedometer, tachometer, odometer, trip meters, fuel gauge, and gear position indicator. It supports Bluetooth connectivity through Honda RoadSync technology, allowing smartphone pairing for call alerts, SMS, navigation, and music control—ensuring riders stay connected without distractions.
Additional tech features include Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) for maintaining traction, wheelie control (segment dependent), and Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) that activates hazard lights under sudden braking for enhanced safety.
Safety Features
Safety is a key priority for the CBR650R. Dual-channel ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) works in tandem with 310 mm radial-mount double disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear to deliver confident stopping power under all road conditions. The radially mounted four-piston front calipers add more bite and better brake feel.
Traction control aids in preventing wheel slippage during aggressive acceleration or slippery surfaces. The Emergency Stop Signal automatically flashes hazard indicators during panic braking to alert vehicles behind, reducing risks of rear-end collisions—a critical safety feature for urban and highway riding in Nashik.
Suspension and Handling
The CBR650R uses Showa’s 41 mm Separate Function Front Fork (SFF-BP) upside-down front forks, offering enhanced stability, precise handling, and excellent shock absorption on uneven roads common in Nashik and surrounding regions. The rear sports a preload-adjustable monoshock suspension, allowing personalized tuning for rider comfort or sporty handling.
Its diamond-type steel frame delivers rigidity for agility and response, while the 17-inch alloy wheels roll on sport suspension geometry that balances cornering stability with ride comfort.
Day-to-Day Usability
While primarily designed as a sportbike, the CBR650R's ergonomics are surprisingly comfortable for daily commuting and longer rides. The riding posture is slightly aggressive but well balanced for minimizing fatigue. The bike’s relatively compact dimensions (approx. 2120 mm length, 785 mm seat height) make it manageable for new and experienced riders alike.
A 15.4-liter fuel tank supports long rides without frequent refueling, and the digital instrument cluster ensures riders keep track of fuel and trip data. The inclusion of a USB charging port under the seat caters to tech-savvy riders who need to charge devices during their commute or weekend rides.
Model Variants
Currently, Honda offers the CBR650R in a single variant in India, including advanced features like the E-Clutch system and Honda Selectable Torque Control standard. This simplicity ensures buyers in Nashik get a high-value package without confusion over trims.
