The Honda CBR650R, a beloved middleweight sportbike, is set to make its Indian comeback at the Auto Expo 2025. Known for its engaging performance and refined inline-four engine, the updated model promises exciting new features, including Honda’s groundbreaking E-Clutch technology.
Honda CBR650R: Key Highlights
1. E-Clutch Technology
The standout feature of the 2025 CBR650R is Honda’s E-Clutch system, which eliminates the need for a clutch lever. Weighing only 3 kg, this innovative technology allows seamless gear shifts and smoother stops, offering a premium riding experience.
2. Enhanced Performance
Powered by a 648cc inline-four engine, the CBR650R delivers 95 bhp and 63 Nm of torque. The six-speed gearbox, paired with the optional E-Clutch, ensures both power and refinement, ideal for enthusiasts and long-distance riders.
3. Modernized Aesthetics
The bike flaunts sharper styling updates, including aerodynamic tweaks. The addition of two striking colorways, Honda Red and Matte Black, enhances its sporty appeal.
4. Advanced Tech Features
A new 5-inch TFT instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity brings modern tech to the CBR650R. Riders can now integrate their smartphones for enhanced functionality, ensuring a tech-savvy ride.
5. Potential Naked Sibling: CB650R
Honda might also introduce the CB650R, a naked version of the CBR650R, featuring similar updates and E-Clutch tech. This provides riders with an option between a faired and a naked middleweight bike.
Expected Price and Rivals
The previous-generation CBR650R was priced at Rs. 9.35 lakh (ex-showroom). With the introduction of new features and tech, the price is expected to increase slightly, positioning it as a strong competitor against:
- Triumph Daytona 660
- Suzuki GSX-8S
The Honda CBR650R 2025 promises to set new benchmarks in the middleweight sportbike segment in India. From cutting-edge E-Clutch technology to a refined engine and advanced features, it offers a complete package for motorcycle enthusiasts.
As the Auto Expo 2025 nears, anticipation for the Honda CBR650R and its potential sibling CB650R continues to grow. Keep an eye out for more updates on this thrilling launch!
