Question 5

Q. Hi All, I am buying the CBR 650 coming August and there are a few questions on my head. 1. What's the yearly maintenance? 2. Worth buying over the Z900 or Versys? 3. Is there on road assistance from Honda? 4. Is there any safety measure against being stolen(like an alarm which can be installed) since I reside in a partially secure apartment. Has security cameras though. Thanks in Advance - CBR650F?

Answer

Hello Ashwin, the yearly maintenance for 650F for me is 35k including service intervals. I might be incorrect as well as I haven't changed any parts yet except the chain sprocket and tyre sets. It is worth buying above the versys but not sure how Z900 rides so cannot comment on that. There is no road assistance for Honda here in Pune but honestly, the bike is very reliable and easy to use that you won't face issues. Not sure if there is any space for alarm installation, like I said I haven't made much changes in my bike. You can check with the service guys about this. If you stay in Pune, the bike is available only in pashankar Honda and BU Bhandari Honda showrooms. Thank you.

Question 6

Q. Is it for touring like Honda 650 - GSX S750?

Answer

I own one a do not recommend it for touring. Its for pure fun of short distance riding (max 2-3 hrs) on an weekend morning. Its better within city confines or closed tracks as there is no wind protection and headwinds can be very tiring to negotiate on the wrong side of 120 kph. But the four cylinder engine is a gem with a slick shifting gear box. There are very few bikes where you can find the neutral so easily. You can also feel power being delivered almost till 11000 rpm before red-lining at 11.5k. I would have loved a touring version of this bike due to the nature of the engine that can pull effortlessly from 70 kph with great acceleration in 6th gear. It is also rideable at 60kph in 5th gear inside city with enough reserve available for quick overtaking without a gear change. You can try installing handle bar raisers, a better seat, a big wind screen and couple of panniers for short touring on tarmac.

Answer

It is any time better than honda 650 , right from comfort to mileage

Is there on road assistance from Honda? 4. Is there any safety measure against being stolen(like an alarm which can be installed) since I reside in a partially secure apartment.

Answer

Hi Ashwin, good to know you preferring the CBR 650f. I would tell you that the maintenance of CBR 650f is around 20-25k per year if you face any issue with the bike or with the performance. Service costs somewhere around 5-6k here in Pune and parts are costly but top quality. It is worth buying over the versys but Z900 is much better than the CBR. There is Honda road assistance service as well however you may not be able to fit any other alarm off safety feature as it might affect the bike's battery and other technical items. This was suggested by Honda. Hope this answers all your questionsThanks.
