Engine and Performance
At the heart of the CB650R lies a 649cc liquid-cooled, inline four-cylinder engine, delivering impressive power of 93.8 bhp at 12,000 rpm and torque of 63 Nm at 9,500 rpm. The engine uses a finely tuned fuel injection system allowing smooth throttle response and efficient combustion contributing to a mileage of approximately 20.4 km/l. The bike features a 6-speed transmission with an assist and slipper clutch, enhancing rider comfort by reducing clutch lever effort and preventing wheel hop during aggressive downshifts.
The engine layout and tuning provide a strong mid-range punch while remaining tractable at lower speeds - perfect for Nashik’s city traffic and weekend highway rides. The inline-four engine’s refined character is evident in its smoothness and linear power delivery, combined with a satisfying exhaust note that turns heads.
Design and Styling
The CB650R boasts dynamic neo-retro styling with sharp, purposeful lines. Key design elements include tank extensions that appear as air intakes, giving the bike an aggressive yet classic silhouette. The rear tail section is sleek and minimalist, complemented by a split seat design offering comfort for rider and passenger alike.
Lighting includes a distinctive circular LED headlight with DRL, enhancing visibility and adding to its vintage-modern character. The 5-inch full-color TFT display integrates instrumentation and smartphone connectivity, displaying navigation, calls, and multimedia controls seamlessly.
Color options include Candy Chromosphere Red and Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic, both of which provide sophisticated urban appeal appropriate for Nashik’s style-conscious riders.
Electronics and Connectivity
Modern electronics equip the CB650R for convenience and safety. The large TFT instrument panel features Bluetooth connectivity, allowing riders to pair smartphones for hands-free calls, SMS alerts, and music control.
Honda’s proprietary RoadSync app enhances the riding experience by providing turn-by-turn navigation, reminders, and ride statistics. Dual-channel ABS and traction control lend electronic aids to maintain stability and braking assurance on Nashik’s varying road conditions.
Safety and Suspension
Safety is a priority with front dual 310 mm floating discs and a 240 mm rear disc brake setup, paired with dual-channel ABS for optimal stopping power. Traction control further ensures stability during acceleration on less predictable surfaces.
The suspension setup includes high-quality Showa Separate Function Big Piston (SFF-BP) front forks renowned for precise damping and absorption of road irregularities, combined with an adjustable rear mono-shock for personalized ride comfort tailored to rider preference or load.
