Q. Which is better CBR 650 or Ninja 650?
  • It would be unfair to give a verdict as Honda CBR650R hasn't launched, so we'd you wait for the launch of the Honda CBR650R. Follow the link to get an alert when Honda CBR650R is launched.
Q. What is the difference between STD edition and KRT Edition - Ninja 650?
  • Additional 20k for nothing?????..Krt edition comes with the traditional Kawasaki green paint scheme. How the bike appeals to you is part of the whole package even looks is always subjective. I will never pick any other color on a Kawasaki. BTW, I just picked up the new 2020 Ninja 650 Krt edition a month ago and loving it!
  • Krt ..means Kawasaki racing team.Main difference is price . Additional 20k for nothing. please buy if ..at the earliest when bike manufactures put R ,RR, Slimited means you lose extra bucks for little changes ....is it? At least not in a panigale. Thanks.
  • Additional 20k for nothing????.....Krt edition comes with different color scheme and it's Kawasaki green. How the bike appeals to you is part of the whole package even looks is always subjective. I will never pick any other color for a Kawasaki.

Q. I want to buy a Sports bike and I have short listed Kawasaki Ninja 650 & Honda CBR 650R according to my budget. Which will be best for me? I have not ridden any sports bike before but I have TVS Apache RTR 160. So will I face problems while riding any one of these (Kawasaki Ninja 650 & Honda CBR 650R)?
  • It’s just based on your need , Kawasaki 650 is 2 cylinder and CBR650R is 4 cylinder , seating posture in Kawasaki 650 so you can do like 500-700kms per day cos it has relaxed seating , but CBR 650 bit aggressive seating like sports bike so you can do like 200-400kms in a day !! My advice if you r like going to use it for daily use within city and long touring (500-700 + kms a ) go for ninja , it has aggressive 2cylinder makes you feel happy in city and in cruising highway at 120-140kmph , but if your use is like 2-4days a week and you go for week end breakfast rides like 200-300 kms with high sports driving energy and feel in cornerings go for CRB 650R !! 4cylinder engines need free road to feel it’s decent power cos it’s power comes in mid and high rpms ( half and above your bikes rpm meter ) so bit difficult to use those bike enjoyably in city with traffic conditions !! So decide wisely ! Test drive 200kms then buy !!
  • I too agree 10 lac otr for a refined cbr650.It resembles its 1000 cc siblings..sometimes to the 250.Its a pure 4 cylinder..no need for after market exhaust. Ninja 650 with excellent refinement, stability is a two cylinder sports tourer less heat from engine tft display excels when in terms of price and service excellence. Why not zx 6R 2 lac more ..than cbr with a real track gene Thanks.
  • If you haven't rode any sports bike before , you might want to go for a 300-400 cc segment . check it out and get familiar with the power and them move up the ladder . because on Indian roads even 650 inline 4 is more than enough to seriously injure you if you don't know how the power works on a proper sports bike .

    Smooth gears 

    Well, I like this car while I start by stating in very few compound sentences. 1st, It suits my 5.5" height. Eye-catchy look, city and long commute ride easy, Right riding posture, Smooth gears, Low smothering sound, Lots of power for 650cc bike, budget-friendly after-sales service cost, economical parts, heat from the engine is very negligible, and for the Kerb weight of the bike it's very cool, Trust me this is the bike with inline 4 cylinder one must seriously go for.
