If you are looking for a sports bike that is powerful, practical and premium sport-tourist feel — then Honda CBR650R is the right bike for you. Honda’s CBR Series has always been known for its superior performance, reliable engineering and comfort-focusing design. The 2025 Model Year has several advanced updates, most notably Honda’s new E-Clutch feature. Let’s find out what makes the CBR650R special in the middleweight sports segment.
Price
The Honda CBR650R is available in India at a price of ₹1,14,362 (ex-showroom). It only comes in one variant, but its premium build quality and advanced technology make it a good option in its price range. Available in two color options, this bike is liked by both sports and touring riders.
Engine
The Honda CBR650R features a 649cc, BS6-compliant, inline-four-cylinder engine that gives 93.8 bhp and 63 Nm of torque. The four-cylinder engine is a premium feature in this segment, as it offers butter-smooth rides and linear power delivery. Whether cruising on the highway or changing gears easily in the city, this engine gives a great feel in every situation.
design
The design of the 2025 Honda CBR650R is now even more sharp and aggressive. Twin LED headlights give it a truly supersport look. The sharp cut and slightly elevated tail section in the side panel gives it a sporty and dynamic look. The design of the CBR650R is not only good to see but also practical in the riding experience. Its riding position is as aggressive as a sports bike, yet it is quite comfortable for long rides. That is why it is called premium sport-tour.
Features
The biggest feature of the new CBR650R is Honda’s patented E-clutch system. This technology operates the clutch automatically, eliminating the need to press the clutch lever when changing gears. This feature significantly reduces rider fatigue when changing gears repeatedly in traffic. If you wish, you can also disable the E-clutch system and ride in manual mode. This means that this bike offers both smart and traditional experience.
