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.

CBR650R User Reviews
  • This bike is scary if you are jumping to this directly from a sub 300cc bike. But once you get a hang of it, it's so much fun. In city limits, it can ride easy in any gear, and on highways, that's where the fun begins. There is a difference in power once you reach higher RPMs and that's when you would enjoy it even more.It's has an easy almost upright riding position, only slighly agressive. Seat height is a bit taller now, and the ground clearance is improved as well. Exhaust has a beautiful grunt to it which you can hear while riding as well. TFT has very clear display and is visible during day as well. I like the road rider mode, which has full power and bit of traction control as well. Sports mode makes the throttle very s****h which is only good if you want to ride agressively, i.e. switch gear and accelerate non stop, which is not possible in city, but definitely good on empty highways, or tracks. All in all, it's an awesome update for the z900
