The Assist/Slipper Clutch is useful for rapid downshifting to control corner. Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) maintains rear wheel traction and can be switched off should the rider choose to. (Image: Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India)

CBR650R’s chassis is 6kg lighter than its predecessor for faster side-to-side steering agility. The new, adjustable 41 mm Showa Separate Fork Function (SFF) USD forks offer superior suspension response. (Image: Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India)

The CBR650R also allows for easy pauses with enhanced braking. The dual radial-mount calipers match a single-piston rear caliper for improved balance. The dual channel ABS maintains smooth control in wet or dry conditions. (Image: Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India)

The 4 exhaust downpipes sweep together around the front of the engine, and the specially designed muffler delivers an electrifying roar. (Image: Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India)

Full LED lighting with a narrow dual headlamp akin to the Fireblade and a digital LCD display enhance the looks. The view forward is pure sports; the handlebars clip-on below the top yoke and the instruments feature a gear position and shift up indicator. (Image: Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India)
