I love the CB650R's inline-four feel. A rare 4-cylinder middleweight naked these days, and that rev sensation is irresistible. Adding 2 new colors doesn't change the substance, but it's nice that the joy of choosing increases. The fact that a 4-cylinder actually sells well in Southeast Asia resonates with me too.

'Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic' is quite the long color name.

A bit bothered that the actual names of the 2 added colors haven't been revealed yet.

Curious which will end up more popular between this and the CBR650R in the same inline-4 class.

If it's just new colors added, it's reassuring that the base price probably won't change.

Even as a minor update, adding 2 new colors is welcome news since it adds to the fun of choosing.

The CB650R is a consistently popular model even among inline-4 nakeds.

Honestly it's unclear just how much adding colors alone will actually boost sales numbers.
