Revealed
at the 2018 EICMA Show in Milan, the CBR650R replaces CBR650F under Honda’s
sports middleweight line up. Drawn directly from Fireblade Super Sports style –
and adding something extra all its own – the 2019 CBR650R indicates a potent
shot of sporty ability designed to be explored, used and enjoyed on the street.
The
new CBR650R comes equipped with a powerful 649cc liquid cooled four-cylinder, DOHC
16-valve engine, for an enriched high tuned performance. From rapid
downshifting to smoothly controlled corner entry, the Assist/Slipper Clutch
allows you to confidently experience the thrills of the CBR650R while Honda
Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) maintains rear wheel traction and can be
switched off should the rider choose to.
The
CBR650R’s chassis is 6kg lighter than its predecessor for faster side-to-side
steering agility. The new, adjustable 41 mm Showa Separate Fork Function (SFF)
USD forks offer superior suspension response. The CBR650R also allows easy
pauses with enhanced braking. The dual radial-mount calipers match a
single-piston rear caliper for improved balance. The dual channel ABS maintains
smooth control in wet or dry conditions
The
4 exhaust downpipes sweep together around the front of the engine, and the
specially designed muffler delivers an electrifying roar, giving the rider a
unique symphony flagging off every ride! Taking cues directly from the
Fireblade, CBR650R features new styling with its sharp, aggressive lines and
extended side fairings plus super-short rear section. Modern full LED lighting
with a narrow dual headlamp akin to the Fireblade and a digital LCD display
enhance its bold looks. The view forward is pure sports; the handlebars clip-on
below the top yoke and the instruments feature a Gear Position and Shift Up
indicator.
The
CBR650R will be available in 2 vibrant colours - Grand Prix Red & Matte
Gunpowder Black Metallic. Bookings are now open from Honda exclusive Wing World
outlets across India at just Rs. 15,000
