Honda india’s no 2 bike maker is gearing up for the auto expo. Apart from the much expected 125cc scooter (whose details are kept secret till date), Honda will launch its entry level superbikes CBR500R and CBR650F. Honda is already selling CBR250R in India (though KTM duke 200 spoiled the party).
Honda CBR500R is powered by a 500cc twin cylinder engine generating 47bhp of peak power and 43Nm of peak torque. With a top speed of 180+km/hr and ABS as a safety feature this is the Honda you can boast about. The pricing is expected to be in the range of Rs4-5 lakhs.
Honda CBR650F fully faired bike powered by a 4 cylinder engine developing 87 BHP of max power at 11,000 RPM and 63 Nm of max torque at 8000 RPM. Expect the pricing to be attractive for this CKD.
