Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR650R E-Clutch 2024

The Honda CBR650R is a great mid-range supersports bike for the country road, which manages the balancing act between sportiness and accessibility very well. But other bikes in this class also manage this. What makes the CBR special is the old-school in-line four-cylinder engine at its heart. You won't win any acceleration races with it, but the in-line four inspires with its silky power delivery and screaming revviness in the upper rev range. And with the new E-Clutch technology, you can get the most out of the engine with crisp gear changes and massively increase comfort in city traffic thanks to the electronic operation of the clutch.

Screeching, "old-school" in-line four-cylinder that tempts you to wind out a gear

stable, but not overly hard fork

well-tuned brakes

sporty, but not too extreme ergonomics

great e-clutch system

Beautiful TFT display with intuitive operating concept

Shock could be more stable when leaning

Knee angle can be quite sharp with lengthy legs
