Honda CBR 650R Price in Darjeeling

I think it has to do with growing up in a non-metro city that I still have a soft spot for fully-faired bikes. We grew up with mostly small-displacement bikes, amazing two-strokes at that, and anything fully faired was always an import and definitely powerful. Everyone in the town knew who had a big sports bike and in all likelihood, it was a Honda Fireblade, probably owned tenth-hand, but hey, it was a fully faired sports bike. So when Honda launched the revised CBR650R in India, its look alone was enough for me to like the motorcycle. It looks so much like the Fireblade, and that can never be a bad thing

In one word this is awesome. The motorcycles have a new twin-spark steel chassis and a new inline-4 engine with a longer stroke increasing the displacement to 650 cc. Abs is optional, and a variant with abs standard and restricted air intakes reduces the power below the 35 kw (47 hp) limit for the European a2 license. They have four-into-one side-swept exhaust headers with a stubby exhaust muffler, which Honda claims improve mass centralization.[3] Honda made significant technical and cosmetic updates in 2017.[4]
In November 2018, at Eicma, Honda announced the cb650r naked bike with their neo sports café styling previously introduced on the cb1000r and cb300r, and the cbr650r sport bike with new fire blade-style fairing.[5][6] both motorcycles also received significant chassis and engine updates.
