Positive
Critical
Leaning front end creates immense pressure on wrists and lower waist during slow traffic speeds. Not practical for daily routine city commuting.
Normal oil changes and sprocket chain kit replacements cost as much as premium 1000cc superbikes. Not economical choice for daily runs.
Standard windshield profile is shallow. Airflow hits directly on neck at 100kmph plus speeds, leading to heavy fatigue during highway tours.
Inline 4 motor produces excessive heat on shins during long traffic stops. Enclosed fairing profile traps heat inside city environment.
Engine remains buzz free but stock mirrors experience heavy vibration past 7000rpm, making vehicles behind look completely distorted.
Handle lock to lock angle is short. Negotiating sharp urban u turns or squeezing into tight basement slots demands extra front back efforts.
Split rear seat is too narrow and high. Family members find it terrifying to sit behind even for brief urban market trips. Solo machine.
Performance parameters are smooth but base pricing is high. E clutch model variant carries huge markup price for 650cc class segment.
Final on road price is excessive. Misses out on critical high end electronics like lean sensitive cornering ABS or multi throttle maps.
Riding ergonomics are fine but saddle cushion feels brick hard after 90 kilometers. Need aftermarket cushion padding for touring comfort.
130mm clearance frame is problematic on uneven roads. Exhaust collector box hits speed humps easily if taken at normal speeds.
211kg total weight makes filtering slow in crawling city traffic jams. Engine radiates notable heat near thighs during peak summer.
New 5 inch screen is high resolution but Bluetooth app drops pairing frequently. Navigation updates feel slightly delayed.
Visual presence is super. Lacks essential electronic aids like custom power modes or cruise control that cheaper bikes offer now.
Underbody lower fairing scrapes over high city speed breakers with pillion rider aboard. 130mm clearance is quite low for our roads.
Bike handles well on highway stretches. High periodic service costs and premium spares create notable strain on monthly maintenance budget.
Four cylinder engine is smooth but standard exhaust sounds regular like commuter bike at lower speeds. Sounds good only near redline.
Front Showa suspension works fine but rear monoshock sends sharp thuds directly to rider lower back. Avoid if local roads are bad.
Engine refinement is great but low end torque feels empty before 5000rpm. Heavy downshifting needed in traffic. Rear seat is unusable.
Dual channel ABS interference is very clean. Bike feels physically heavy to push around manually inside closed garages.
Power delivery is safe for intermediate upgrading riders. Factory exhaust note sounds very civil at lower revs.
Highly stable platform for weekend road trips. Adjustable front brake lever provided but clutch side lever lacks click adjustment.
Graphics look contemporary and fast. Honda RoadSync app integration requires multiple manual pairing attempts on Android.
Thermal ducting away from legs is effective. Rear monoshock kicks back abruptly over sharp continuous rumble strips.
Side lines look sharp and athletic. Rear mudguard coverage is narrow, allows dirty water spray over rider back during rain.

Smooth Performance Short Range
Honda CB650R has top class braking safety and styling. But the 15.4 liter fuel tank gives limited riding range on highways, requiring frequent petrol pump stops. Display menu is slightly complicated to toggle while riding fast.Read more

Too Much Drama
Engine is super smooth but the heat around thighs in slow moving traffic gets very uncomfortable quickly. Best for open highways.Read more

Firm Setup
Crisp engine exhaust note, but non-adjustable suspension setup feels overly firm on uneven road patches. Zero underseat storage space makes carrying disc locks or papers impossible.Read more
