I believe that. The engine is a different animal. I'm used to riding a CBR250R, so making power with RPM is nothing that bothers me. On the other hand, not sure I'd want to manage the power curve of a CRR600RR either. The CB650R seems to strike a nice balance of the capacity to reach high RPM but tempered with a usable torque curve as well.

Nothing wrong with CB1100, but the 650 feel more lighter and more agile for daily ride. CB1100 felt like weekend relax cruise, can't fit into rushing everywhere working workhorse.
There's a lot to be said for the virtue of light weight in a motorcycle.
The [url=https://www.honda.co.uk/motorcycles/range/street/cb650r-neo-sports-cafe/specifications.html#/]Honda UK site has a lot more information, including published horsepower and torque:
[ul] [li]Max. Power Output 70kW (94 HP) @ 12,000rpm[/li] [li]Max. Torque 64Nm (47 lb-ft) @ 8,500rpm

Oooh...that MATT JEANS BLUE METALLIC one...yum!

I know! I'm envious of the UK color choices and also how the website is so much more complete than the US.
