Q. CBR650R or Z900, which is better?
  • Selecting between the Kawasaki Z900 and Honda CBR650R would depend on your preference of the segment and your budget. The Z900 is priced at Rs. 8.34 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Kawasaki Z900 is powered by a 948cc, inline-four cylinder engine that puts out 125PS of power and 98.5Nm of peak torque mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch. To justify this price hike, Kawasaki has added a bunch of new goodies on the BS6 Z900. It gets electronic aids such as four riding modes (Sport, Road, Rain and Manual), a three-level traction control system, and two power modes. This is a big update as the previous Z900 didn't have as many electronic goodies. On the styling front, the Kawasaki Z900 BS6 gets an LED headlight and a new TFT instrument console that adds to the premium factor. On the other hand, Honda CBR650R is priced at Rs. 8.88 Lakh (Ex-showroom Price, Delhi ). CBR650R is powered by the 649cc, liquid-cooled, the inline-four engine has been updated for a stronger mid-range. In its BS6 guise, it now puts out 87PS at 12,000rpm and 57.5Nm at 8500rpm. CBR650R 2021 comprise new graphics, a revised LED headlight reflector profile, and a USB Type-C under-seat charging socket. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read more -Honda CBR650R vs Kawasaki Z900.
  • Definitely Cbr650r. It has better aerodynamic + 25kmph mileage + high Rpm + great looks
  • Depends what fancy you, honda is more subtle but the z is a maniac, I found her quite a handful and decided to go for the more timid honda, plus service and spares are cheaper as compared to the Kawasaki's

  • I love this bike

    Anbarasan Murugan few weeks ago
  • 2016 Red Icon. Just a lot of fun to ride! Light, super nimble. Very torquey but I like that. Clutch went just under 10000k, replacement cost = $1300.00. Ouch! But can’t keep the front wheel on the ground now after it’s replacement.At 6’3”, 220 lbs, bikes too small for me, wish I waited for 2019 1200 would’ve fit much better. But again, don’t care. I love the damn bike! Take it light off-roading and handles real good. Topped out at about 120 on highway. The perfect around towner. Think these are big out West US (Cali), but not so much here in NYC area, so people constantly admire. Between maintenance costs, and parts/accessories though, it’ll probably (maybe) push me away from buying Ducati again (but who really knows😝) If someone asked me, I’d def recommend if they don’t mind paying the Xtra smackers at the shop.
