The CBR650F will be replaced by this, the CBR650R. That change of a single letter isnt quite enough to convey just how many changes have actually been made to Hondas middleweight sportsbike.
The R makes it a little more aggressive, and that is reflected in the styling. It looks like a baby Fireblade now, which is excellent. There is aggression in the new riding position as well - the handlebars are lower and 30mm further forward, and the footpegs have been moved 3mm back and 6mm higher. The seat is a split seat, which means the riders seat is bolted on. This will give the rider more feel. The engine also delivers 5 per cent more peak power with a redline that is 1000rpm higher, totalling 98bhp at 12,000rpm. The CBR650R is thin on electronics, with just ABS.
The CBR650R will compete in concept with the likes of the Kawasaki Ninja 650, another 650cc faired sportsbike. But in reality, it will be closer in character to the Triumph Street Triple, although that is not a faired machine.
The Honda CBR250R is Honda's 250cc single-cylinder sportbike that competes with the other fully faired machines in a similar price bracket. The 2018 model year CBR250R has two big changes: one, it is now BS4 compliant, and two, there is an LED headlamp. The rest of the motorcycle stays unchanged other than a tweak to the shape of the headlamp. It will be available in two colours - orange and green. The green was on display at the Auto Expo and is reminiscent of the Hornet's colour and graphics combination. The engine remains a 249cc fuel-injected single that is liquid cooled with 26bhp and 23Nm running through a six-speed gearbox. Braking is delivered by a 296mm front disc and 220mm rear disc. As always, ABS with CBS will be an option. The 2018 Honda CBR250R will compete with the TVS Apache RR310, KTM RC200, Yamaha Fazer 25, and Bajaj Pulsar RS200.
