For me it's the best 650. Problem is it is not made for Indian market. This was mainly for US/eu market where men are much taller/heavier than avg Indian.
I am 6ft tall weight around 100kg. Even regular interceptor is small for me. And gt is way too small.Bike is not good for anyone shorter than 5'10 or may be lighter than 70kg. As its taller, heavier than Himalayan with wider seats.
There is a trick to use the bike. Don't slow down for small humps. Suspension behaves much better if you are in 40s/50s than in 10s. Ground clearance is pretty good, so that wont be a problem. Repeated small bumps (not rumble trips but like attached pic) are Achilles heel of the bike.
still i would choose bear over interceptor /gt any day. They had bad suspension. Front end wallows and rear was too soft even at hardest setting. And seat was too soft for long rides.
had used an old yezdi 250 for some time a long while ago. It was a fun bike.
I was very impressed with cbr 650f. My friend lent it to me when he went abroad. Only superbike which you can use daily without burning a hole through your pocket. Honda charged premium while selling the bike, but service was super cheap for a superbike. It had 2 -ves.
A. Outdated instrument cluster
B. Vibration at cruising speed was little high for a honda i4 engine. Once you build up speed it used to die down.
