Q. I have been waiting for CB650R for a long time expecting around 7 lakhs but it seems to be way too much overpriced and looking other choices at this point. Is it really worth spending Rs. 8.67 for this vehicle?

Honda is asking for Rs 8.67 lakh (ex-showroom Gurugram) for the CB650R. In our opinion, the updates aren’t comprehensive enough to justify the price hike. What makes the pricing even more painful is that the Kawasaki Z900, which is far more powerful and comes with more electronic rider aids, is nearly half a lakh cheaper than the CB650R.
