2023 CBR650R Update Details
Speaking of the updates, the first and foremost is the introduction of new colour options. The sports tourer is wrapped in a tri-tone colour contrast. This tri-tone color shade is well known among Honda enthusiasts because of its correlation with GP history. Meanwhile, its base colour is still red but it now uses black and white graphics. It looks very aggressive in terms of design in this new paint shade.
On the other hand, Honda is also offering a new 'Matt Gun Powder' paint shade. This colour shade uses matt black paint all over its body. Hence, the new CBR650R looks stealthy in design if opted with this paint option. Additionally, Honda has used blue and silver highlights around the fuel tank & fairing. However, the overall design and panels remain unchanged from the previous model. Meanwhile, the LED lighting all around makes the new model look even cooler than before.
Speaking of other updates, the engine casing is all-black. Additionally, the bike features a USB-charging port underneath. It also gets connected features like Bluetooth for smartphone connectivity. The TFT display is coloured and provides crisp info to the rider. However, we wish that Honda increased its display size. It looks clumsy at times with multiple info being displayed all together. Meanwhile, the bike still uses the same 649cc inline-four cylinder engine that makes a peak power of 86 bhp. Additionally, it also gets safety features like dual-channel ABS, slipper-clutch, & traction control as standard.
Verdict
Honda is dedicated to the Indian market. Also, the CBR650R has sold in decent numbers ever since it was introduced locally. Hence, we can easily assume that the updated model will soon launch in India. We anticipate that in the coming months, Honda shall launch the 2023 model. Its rivals in India are Kawasaki Ninja 650 & Triumph Trident.
