Does anyone know if they are manufactured here or not? if they are a domestically produced bike they will certainly hit Kawasakis 650 sales hard

Its a well styled nicely executed bike but low spec and low tech built down to price , will be cheap in EU ,,if its made in Asean could be competetive here ,, would have to sell for less than 350,000 .

"In an interview with a reporter from a Thai newspaper the Thai Honda CEO said that the new Honda CBR650F and CB650F would be manufactured in Thailand.
We already knew that the Honda CBR300R would be made in Thailand."

I wonder how much they will sell for

Been looking forward to the Thai made CB 650`s but at 80 something hp for an inline 4cyl...a little disappointed.

Yeah the 90s era 600s were putting out 90 something and were still rock solid bulletproof uber reliable engines.

Always like the hornets right through the range.. Never owned one.

^ Nat has a nice tricked up older carby model Hornet ATM. It would have at least 30hp more than the proposed new model..if the quoted figure turns out to be correct.
