wondering how it behaves if you pull the clutch , does it change to manual ? (Or maybe missed in a video)
@BikerKev4 ай бұрын
If you pull the clutch in while the e-clutch is activated then it over rides it and becomes a normal clutch . When you release the clutch then the e-clutch reactivates and it’s back to before. So yes you can still use the clutch while riding .

I’m torn between this and a Ninja 1000SX. My dad and I go to Europe fairly regularly and the Ninja easily wins out in that regard with hard luggage included and a beastly engine. But the Honda is fucking gorgeous man and I really miss the 600cc inline four bikes, they’ve all but died out aside from this CBR. So my dilemma is do I buy a bike that I think I’ll enjoy more for fun at the weekends, or a bike that’ll perform better for the one trip I might do to Germany etc in a year? Unsure about the e-clutch, cool bit of tech but I might wait for a further and slightly less bulky apparatus in the side of the bike.

This is not like a 600rr, this is not a racing replica made for the track, it has power but is heavier and made for street riding, way less power than a 600rr

@@bboykiddblack Yeah I test rode one and wasn’t that impressed tbh. The power was ok, but it was bizarrely “heavy” and really needed some persuasion to tip over into corners.

The problem with my 187cm tall body and legs. That E-Clutch is in the way of my leg. I could not sit on this bike at all without my leg touching it all the time. Will stick to my -22 650R since I can not sit on that bike on a ride. Bad ergonimics.

Would you get this or a DCT version if it was available on a cbr? And if not a DCT why not?
@BikerKev7 ай бұрын
The DCT is basically like a fully automatic so the bikes changes gear for you where as the E-Clutch only operates the clutch so you still have the manual gear change. I’ve not currently ridden a DCT so can’t really comment too much on that system. Which one I would rather have is hard to say as I’ve not had experience of both systems. Which system would you prefer ?
@WeldEXE7 ай бұрын
@@BikerKevDCT is not an automatic, it's the same conventional gearbox but has 2 clutches and electric motors which operates shifting via ECU. Almost same here - electric motors operates upshift and downshift, the only thing is you should still shift it so to me there's no point of semi-automatic like this. I've had VFR1200FD (DCT version) and still love it to death! Sadly it was discontinued due to Euro regulations.

Why did Honda even make this bike? Tech-less naked? Sure. This bike needs to be ditched and Honda release a CBR750R model to compete with the R7. This E clutch is going keep more new riders in the Pussy/Wanker status. All this new tech crap is pure BS. Handicapped transmissions belong on Goldwings, to give the older guys a chance to relax a bit, after living their life as "real motorcycle" riders. They earned it.

@@BikerKev No, but the cbr650r is simply faster than the R7. Most videos put it at or near 150 mph and I would bet money mine will hit that. The fastest I’ve been is about 115 but it wasn’t even at 9,000 rpm’s and it doesn’t start to redline until past 12,000. I’ve got a friend in my neighborhood with an R7 (and a Grom😜) and it’s a great bike but it won’t do anywhere near that. I love my cbr though.
