New Delhi: Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has launched its sports bike CBR 650F in India, priced at Rs 7.3 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), as part of its plans to roll out 15 products this year.
Here are five interesting features of the bike.
Compact Engine
The 649cc 16-valve inline 4 cylinder engine delivers smooth and easy performance even at an rpm as low as 4000. The engine is best tuned to churn out max 64kW@ 11000 rpm. Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) operates with information from 4 separate throttle body sensors on 32mm throttle bores for crisp & accurate throttle response.
Design
The Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) inspired racing Red, White and Blue tri-color paint provides a finishing flourish. Its white LED position lamps outline the headlamp elegantly and LED tail light and winkers give good look at the rear. CBR 650F has 180mm wide tyre at rear.
Convenience
A clip-On handle bar adds sportiness. The bike has mono shock suspension. It also offers 7-stage spring preload adjustment and operates directly on the swing arm. The bike has double petal disc brakes with ABS. There is 320mm double disc brakes in front and 240mm hydraulic disc at the rear.
Digital
CBR 650F comes with Honda Ignition Security System (H.I.S.S) – a proprietary electronic anti-theft device that automatically disables engine starting by means of electronic control. The bike also has digital meter console with major highlights – digital speedometer, digital bar tachometer, dual trip meter, digital bar fuel gauge and a digital clock.
Racing spirit
The double overhead camshaft (DOHC) provides power and pick up. The 16 valves are placed in V-shape in DOHC layout. This provides space to place the spark plug right in the middle at the top of piston which improves combustion.
