Both bikes are based on the same platform but there are certain differences depending on their purpose.

Similar to the CB300R and the CB1000R, the 650cc iteration too boasts Honda’s ‘Neo Sports Café’ styling. It is a combination of retro and modern design elements with a circular headlamp, sculpted fuel tank, a tiny tank extension, and a stubby tail. Complementing its distinctive styling are modern features like full-LED lighting, fully-digital console, and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) that is essentially the traction control system with switchable functionality. It also gets ESS (Emergency Stop Signal) that activates the front and rear hazard lights in an event of sudden braking.

Powering the CB650R is a 649cc, inline four-cylinder, 16-valve, DOHC engine that produces 84.6bhp of power at 12,000rpm and 57.5Nm of peak torque at 8,500rpm. Its six-speed gearbox is accompanied by an assist and slipper clutch. As for the cycle parts, the suspension setup comprises Showa upside-down forks and a monoshock, while stopping power comes from dual radially-mounted four-piston brake callipers with floating dual discs up front and a single disc at the rear.

The Honda CB650R is available as a CKD (completely knocked down) product and can be had in one of the two available paint schemes - Candy Chromosphere Red and Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic. In the middle-weight naked bike genre, it competes against the Kawasaki Z650 and the Triumph Trident 660.
