The Honda CB650R is a sports motorcycle from Honda. It has been discontinued (production ended around 2026). Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Sports bikes put performance first, usually with a sportier riding position and sharper handling than everyday bikes. With a 649 cc engine it sits in the middleweight 450–800 cc class.
Power comes from a 649 cc 4-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 95.17 PS at 12,000 rpm and 63 Nm of torque at 9,500 rpm. Peak torque comes high up, at 9,500 rpm, so it rewards revving. Its bore is wider than its stroke (67 mm x 46 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 460 PS per tonne; by that measure, its performance is at superbike level and rewards an experienced rider. The claimed top speed is 225 km/h. It has electric start.
It has a 6-speed manual gearbox, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel.
Suspension is by showa SFF USD fork at the front and monoshock damper with 10 stage adjustable preload at the rear. Braking is by twin 310 mm discs at the front and a 240 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 120/70-17 at the front and 180/55-17 at the rear.
The seat is 810 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 207 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. Ground clearance is 150 mm — adequate, though tall speed breakers need care. It is 2,120 mm long, with 1,450 mm between the axles. It carries 15.4 L of fuel.
Equipment includes a digital instrument console, an LED headlamp, call/SMS alerts, gear shift light, clock, DRLs (daytime running lights) and kill switch. Safety equipment includes traction control and side stand engine cut-off.
For the Honda CB650R, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹2,999 doorstep service.
It is best suited to riders who want performance and sharp handling. With this much performance, it is better as a step-up bike than a first bike.
Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment.
