What's the 2024 /2025 CBR650R missing?

50 pounds less wieght

I always preferred lighter bikes. But I think CB and CBR weight are ok, because what you loose in agility gain in stability. Makes them a bit less sporty but a bit more tourer.

Missing for me…
Engine temperature
Self cancelling indicators
Cruise control

That said, I love the bike.

Engine temperature

We have that! It's hidden in the settings, like the battery voltage. 😒
If the engine gets too hot, there's a warning light. Then, you can dive into the settings menu to look for the exact temperature. 😅

If the engine is almost too hot, the last thing you want to do is stop. You would ride on low power to allow it to cool down.
There’s plenty of screen space to have it displayed all the time… like any litre bike.

In my view the engine temperature should be displayed permanently allowing the user to see when it's above normal. Still that's the modern way; none of my recent cars has had an actual temperature gauge. They have a load of unwanted stuff though. Progress, I believe it's called. Same with voltmeters.

I agree. Same for the battery voltage. It should be on the main screen. At least until you start the engine. That way, if the bike doesn't start you could easily check the battery status.
Instead, we have an icon showing up when the side stand is down... very useful... 😏

Exactly.
