According to a media report, the Honda CBR650F has been discontinued in India. While the current lot of bikes have been sold out, the CBR650F is likely to be replaced with the CBR650R. 

The CBR650F was launched in October 2017. It came with a triangular full-LED headlight and Showa Dual Bending Valve (SDBV) type fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear. The bike was powered by a 648.72cc, liquid-cooled, in-line 4-cylinder engine that produced 85.4 BHP @ 11,000 rpm and 60.5 Nm of torque @ 8,500 rpm. The engine was mated to a 6-speed gearbox. 

The CBR650R is the replacement for the CBR650F. Unlike the CBR650F, which had a single headlamp, the new model features Fireblade-inspired styling with a twin-headlamp setup and upside-down (USD) fork suspension at the front. The 649cc, in-line 4-cylinder engine has also been updated and produces 94 BHP @ 12,000 rpm and 64 Nm of torque @ 8,500 rpm. The revised braking setup includes twin 310 mm discs at the front with 4-piston calipers and a 240 mm disc at the rear with a single piston caliper.

The Honda CBR 650F and the Kawasaki ER-6n are currently being offered with huge discounts of up to Rs. 1 lakh. These discounts are a part of the companies' stock clearance exercises.

The primary reason behind these huge discounts is the government's decision to make it mandatory for all two-wheelers on sale in the country to be BSIV compliant from April 1, 2017. Since both these bikes - the CBR 650F and the ER-6n, are currently available with BSIII engines, dealers are trying to get rid of the existing stock before the said April 1 deadline.

Additionally, both these bikes are nearing their end of product life cycle. While the Honda CBR 650F will soon receive a facelift, Kawasaki will be replacing the ER-6n with the new Z650.
