However, when Honda launched the Honda CBR 650R in India last year, it was priced around Rs 8.85 lakh (ex-showroom, India), which means the updated Honda CBR 650R is almost Rs 50,000 more expensive, which is quite expensive, given that the 2022 Honda CBR 650R motorcycle has only received a handful of cosmetic updates in the form of new orange highlights with matte finished Gunpowder Black Metallic colour and new sporty graphics with Grand Prix Red colour.

Otherwise, the 2022 Honda CBR 650R is almost identical to the previous model. This means, powering the 2022 iteration of the Honda CBR 650R is the same tried-and-tested 649cc, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled petrol engine.

Thoughts About The New 2022 Honda CBR 650R

The Honda CBR 650R is a great motorcycle and the 650cc inline-4 petrol engine offers silky-smooth performance all the way up to its redline. However, at Rs 9.35 lakh (ex-showroom, India), the Honda CBR 650R has become rather too expensive.
