In terms of pricing the Honda CBR650F will be brought to India in the Completely Knocked Down(CKD) state. This will facilitate the manufacturer to price their motorcycle competitively. We believe the supersport motorcycle will be priced between INR 7,00,000 to INR 8,00,000 on road.

Competition currently does not exists, however, DSK-Benelli will be launching its rage of motorcycle in March, 2015, which could pose a threat. The Italian manufacturer will be launching their TNT600i model, which is an in-line four, 600cc engine and will compete with the CBR650F. Honda will also compete with Kawasaki, Triumph, Hyosung and Suzuki.
