Honda's premium Big Wing Top line shops will sell the 2021 CBR650R motorbike in India as a completely knocked-down kit (CKD). Honda is launching the CB650R, a neo sports cafe racer, for the first time in India. The CB650R is based on the same architecture as the CBR650R, and both motorcycles are powered by the same 649cc in-line four-cylinder engine that produces 86 bhp @ 12,000 rpm and 57.5 Nm torque @ 8,500 rpm. The bikes are equipped with a 6-speed transmission with a slip-and-assist clutch.

In India, the Honda CBR 650R is a sports bike with a starting price of Rs. 8, 88, 220. It comes in only one colour and one variation. The Honda CBR 650R is powered by a 648.72cc BS6 engine that produces 85.82 bhp and 57.5 Nm of torque. The Honda CBR 650R features anti-lock brakes on both the front and rear disc brakes. The gasoline tank on this CBR650R is 15.4 litres and weighs 211 kg.

Mechanical changes have been made to the Honda CBR650R in order to comply with the new, more rigorous emission regulations. The BS6-compliant variant, which will compete with the Kawasaki Ninja 650 and Ninja ZX-6R, is significantly more expensive than its predecessor.

The motorbike has a twin-pod headlamp, a transparent windscreen, a complete fairing, a split-style seat, and a small exhaust canister, all of which are influenced by the CBR1000RR. While the design of the 2021 Honda CBR650R is identical to that of the 2020 model, the headlamp has a sharp new reflector shape. New side panels, steel rear mudguard/number plate mount clip-on handlebars, and rear set foot pegs are also included in the latest version of the middleweight motorbike.

The CBR650R BS6's feature list is identical to that of the 2020 model, including all-LED lighting, a digital LCD instrument cluster, and an assist and slipper clutch. Dual-channel ABS, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), Honda Ignition Security System (HISS), and Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) technology are among the motorcycle's safety features.
