When it comes to do-it-all performance, our CB650R has long been the class of the field. And this year there’s a new feature that blows everything else right out of the water: the Honda E-Clutch. Experienced sportbike riders can use it like a quick shifter. More casual riders will find it makes cruising and relaxed riding hassle-free. And if you’ve never driven or ridden a vehicle with a manual transmission, E-Clutch helps eliminate the need to learn shifter-clutch coordination, along with worries about stalling or jerky starts or sudden stops. Plus, the CB650R combines sportbike performance and handling along with a seating position that’s a little more upright and more comfortable for many riders. We’ve also given the CB650R a bigger five-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) instrument display. If you wish there were a version with MotoGP-inspired full coverage bodywork, we hear ya: Take a look at our CBR650R.
