The CBR650R 2025 is powered by a 649cc liquid-cooled, inline-four engine, producing 93.8 bhp and 63 Nm of torque. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox, featuring an assist and slipper clutch for smoother shifts and reduced engine braking.

The braking system includes dual front disc brakes and a rear disc, supported by dual-channel ABS for controlled braking on different surfaces.

The CBR650R retains its sportbike styling, featuring a full fairing, twin LED headlamps, and aerodynamic bodywork. The semi-digital instrument cluster displays speed, gear position, fuel level, and ride statistics, with Bluetooth connectivity for call and navigation alerts. The clip-on handlebars and comfortable seat height provide a slightly aggressive yet practical riding posture.
Pricing and Competition
Expected to be priced at ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom, India), the CBR650R 2025 competes with Kawasaki Ninja 650, Yamaha R7, and Aprilia RS 660. With its refined inline-four engine, sporty styling, and practical comfort, it remains a top choice for riders seeking a premium middleweight sportbike.
