Today we reported about the possible launch of a new scooter called the Activa 3G which was spotted at a dealership. We believed that the company will launch this scooter tomorrow but looks like the Activa 3G might share its stage with the CBR650F.
The company has showcased the Honda CBR650F to its dealers few hours that have come from across the country for this meet. As per a picture shared on a Facebook group, around six two-wheelers were covered, which makes us believe that there could be a range of products the company will be unveiling tomorrow at the official press conference. First unveiled at the 2014 Auto Expo, the CBR650F has been one of the most anticipated premium bikes to be launched because it will be sold as a completely-knocked-down (CKD) unit and will come with an attractive price tag.
The Honda CBR650F is powered by a 650cc inline-four engine that churns out 87bhp at 11,000rpm and a maximum torque of 63Nm at 8,000rpm.The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox. The bike gets a new aluminium swing arm, preload adjustable rear shock and owing to European regulations, ABS as a standard fitment and clip on handlebars. Stopping power in the front is provided by a pair of 320mm discs with traditional two-piston calipers. The display console is digital with white backlight and both the front and back get ample LED lights.
It is very interesting to see Honda suddenly going aggressive with their launch plans. Looks like Honda is following its rival, Hero MotoCorp, who at the same time last year, unveiled five new products that got the market excited. We hope to see more than two new products at the press conference tomorrow.
Stay tuned to BikeWale as we get you more details from the launch event tomorrow.
