The 650cc motorcycle category in India has become one of the most exciting segments in recent years. These bikes offer the right mix of power, comfort, and everyday usability. They sit in a sweet spot strong enough for highways, yet manageable for city riding. In addition, manufacturers are adding better features, fresh designs, and improved ride quality. Let’s look at six standout 650cc motorcycles currently available in India.

The Z650RS carries a timeless retro design with round LED lights, a teardrop fuel tank, and simple bodywork. However, beneath that classic styling sits a 649cc parallel-twin engine producing around 65.44 hp and 62.1 Nm torque. The bike gets a six-speed gearbox, assist and slipper clutch, and traction control. The upright seating and well-padded seat make daily rides comfortable, while the lightweight chassis keeps handling easy in traffic.

Honda’s CB650R brings an inline-four engine into the middleweight class. Its 649cc motor produces roughly 93.8hp, offering a thrilling top speed of 220 kmph. The bike features Honda Selectable Torque Control, upside-down front forks, dual front disc brakes, and full LED lighting. There’s also a digital display and a clean neo-sports café design that gives it a premium feel. The motorcycle remains stable at high speeds and relaxed during slow city rides.

The Bear 650 expands Royal Enfield’s 650 platform with adventure-focused hardware. It uses the familiar 648cc twin-cylinder engine that makes about 46.8 bhp and 56.5 Nm of torque. Its long-travel suspension, wire-spoke wheels, and dual-purpose tyres help handle broken roads. Moreover, the tall stance, wide handlebars, and large fuel tank create a confident touring setup.

The Versys 650 has earned a reputation for long-distance comfort. Its 649cc parallel-twin engine produces around 66hp and is tuned for strong mid-range performance. The bike features an adjustable windscreen, upright ergonomics, long-travel suspension, and traction control. It also has a TFT display with smartphone connectivity, which keeps information clear.

Triumph Daytona 660 brings sharp sport styling and a 660cc triple-cylinder engine producing about 93.87 bhp and 69 Nm of torque. It comes equipped with ride-by-wire, traction control, multiple riding modes, and a quickshifter. The aerodynamic fairing, clip-on handlebars, and lightweight frame give it an engaging ride feel. At the same time, the seat cushioning and riding triangle remain practical for daily use.

The Seiemmezzo combines Italian design with a 649cc parallel-twin engine delivering close to 54.8 bhp. It features a 5-inch TFT display, fully adjustable suspension, dual-channel ABS, and Brembo brakes. The sculpted bodywork, LED lighting, and premium finish make it visually striking. Furthermore, its handling feels balanced, and the throttle response remains smooth in traffic.
