Last year, Honda launched the new CBR650R in the global market. Now, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India have filed design trademarks for new premium motorcycles. One such motorcycle is the CBR650R. The motorcycle has been on sale in the Indian market for quite some time now. However, the design trademark that has now been filed is for the new 2024 version which made its debut last year in the global market.
It is important to note that filing a design trademark does not mean that the launch of the vehicle is confirmed. Sometimes the manufacturers want to protect the design so they file a trademark for it so that no other company can use it. Having said that, the CBR650R is already on sale in the Indian market so yes there are chances that Honda will replace the current model with the newer one in the coming months.
Powering the 2024 Honda CBR650R is a liquid-cooled, 649 cc, in-line four-cylinder engine that puts out 93 bhp of max power at 12,000 rpm and a peak torque output of 63 Nm at 9,500 rpm. The gearbox on duty is a 6-speed unit. Honda claims a fuel efficiency figure of 20.4 kmpl and with a fuel tank of 15.4 litres, Honda claims a range of over 300 km on a single tank. The brand has also added its E-Clutch technology to the motorcycle. However, it is not known whether the E-Clutch version will go on sale in India or not.
