HONDA CB650R sound & review + the embarrassing reason why I don't like the E-Clutch! [RAW Onboard]

Facts here

[@diogo8500]

The thing about the E-clutch, is that there's no reason not to have it. Want to bleep, go ahead - the clutch lever is right there. Just want to get home after a long day at work? Just do it.

[@Schaaf]

Agreed!!

[@nathanwhitley3358]

Complexity of design is a reason not to have it. Personally I think older cable throttle bikes with just abs is the sweet spot for longevity and reliability. The latest tech is great but I like to maintain my own bikes so I’ll always keep something that’s mostly analog and a little raw.

[@ilmongolo]

"classic" Quickshifter and blipper is IMHO a good compromise without having all this actuators... yea in the city constant start and stop I see a place, but for me QS is good enough...

[@M4rciuZ]

Exactly, for those who use the bike also for everyday urban commuting it's super helpful, struggling at redlights and in the traffic jam in morning? Use it, leaving the office and go for a countryside ride before egtting home? Enjoy it in manual! A system like the new Yamaha Y-AMT or Honda DCT itself doesn't allow you to do that, it's just automatic and gives you the only possibility to play with buttons.

[@joaomatos00]

​@@M4rciuZWhat is a traffic jam? lol

[@jdroth50]

I've watched 6-7 reviews of the E-Clutch, and you are the only one that has mentioned the fact that it doesn't automatically rev-match downshifts. Thank you for pointing that out!

[@Schaaf]

No worries

[@xorbe2]

No rev-match probably because still cable throttle.

[@ziggycustodio]

I was also looking for this! I wonder if you can still rev-match without using the lever like any other non E-Clutch bikes. Or will it have an issue with how the E-Clutch works?

[@stevebits8972]

It can't rev match its cable driven throttle

The weird thing is there's absolutely nothing stopping them from adding a downshift blip for fun and smoother engagement. Wait Does this still have a cable throttle? On a $9400 bike. LOL. Suck it, Honda.

[@Surpriseify]

@@aluisious Frankly cable throttles still give the best feeling and response, ride by wire is really not great unless you are talking the TOP TOP end of bikes. KTM throttles sucks MASSIVE b44ls, so does the new hornet. 0 feel and terrible on/off response. Give me a basic cable throttle any day.

[@subzero-ku2wx]

@@Surpriseify Bollocks. KTM knows exactly how to make an electronic throttle smooth, responsive, precise, and intuitive. The first 10% of throttle is very easy to modulate, at least on the Duke 890 R and Super Duke.

[@PeterLustig-f8c]

We have 2 new 2024 CB 650 R in the family now. An A2 Version that my son owns and an “open” version with eClutch that my wife bought. EClutch helps her to start again biking after a 20 year break, glad Honda developed it ❤ We all LOVE the engine sound, the look, the screaming inline 4 if you race it - but the also the very smooth, typical 4 cylinder that you can accelerate with 1.000 rpm without any engine hiccups. Try this with a 2 cylinder… Fantastic bike. Only the “Angstnippel” could be a bit shorter, you also hear them while Schaaf is cornering.

Hatte das Modell vor dem Facelift, also ohne E-Clutch, auch in Candy Chromesphere Red. In der Klasse für mich persönlich eines der schönsten Motorräder. Der Vierzylinder ist zwar das Alleinstellungsmerkmal, aber neben der fehlenden Ausstattung auch der größte Schwachpunkt. Praktisch kein Druck von unten, und generell ein wenig "Charakterschwach". Zuverlässigkeit und Verarbeitung sind natürlich absolut brillant. Ich mochte sie.

[@Schaaf]

Mir fällts normalerweise leichter, Mopeds mit Schwächen zu mögen ;)

[@olaokolaok]

Best video explaining the e clutch feature. Subscribed!! I would say the only reason to not have the eclutch is that our shin are already near the engine on the 2023 version, and eclutch amplifies this problem a little bit. I have the 2023 version (or whatever before the eclutch feature) and i love it visually, stock sound is perfect and the bike feels perfect. If i want to go more sporty/manuever mode i put my chest down and the bike moves with your mind, but if i want to be relaxed i can sit upright and shut my mind off. As an amateur and a guy who uses the bike to work, commute and go into meetings with clients on really hard-to-park locations, the bike is just perfect. Forgiving, smooth, etc

[@Schaaf]

Awesome, thanks for sharing! It's a great bike for sure!

[@Lemmingadventures]

If you are disabled and can't shift traditionally, this is for you. If you live somewhere crowded and are always in stop and go traffic and can't lane split and a bike is your only transportation, fine. But as far as I am concerned, I see a future where motorcycles are going to be like cars are now. All automatic and can't find a manual to save your life. to me riding a bike is a harmonious exercise . A dance with clutch, throttle and shift lever depending on situation and that's what makes riding fun for me.

[@trevor2830]

I'm not so sure about that but we'll see

[@Benjamingt4]

Tried the new E clutch CBR650R, found the ABS incredibly intrusive. E clutch is a novel idea, but doesn't really offer much over a traditional quickshifter. Also feels very unnatural when setting of, you can feel the system has pulled the clutch in, so when you try to grab it manually there is no resistance, and the transition is quite unnatural.

Ich sehe du hast genau das gleiche Thema wie ich mit Jacken/Handschuhen.

Gut, das dürfte für dich viel krasser sein. Ich bin durchschnittlich groß, hab 'bloß' überlange Arme.

Irgendwie ist 2024 das Jahr der Halb-/Vollautomatik-Getriebe. Eigentlich schon erschreckend wie sehr das gehyped wird und immer mehr Hersteller nachziehen es anzubieten. War mir bisher nie bekannt, dass das "klassische" Schalten mit so einem Widerwillen vollführt wurde und es hierfür deshalb so dringend Unterstützung braucht .... Wie von Dir demonstriert funktioniert das sehr gut und es bleibt die Option dennoch "klassisch" zu schalten - wir wissen alle was sich innerhalb kürzester Zeit einschleicht bei E-Clutch Bikern ... ich glaube einige E-Clutch-Patienten werden ziemlich schnell ihre Kupplung schrotten, weil sie einfach gar kein Gefühl mehr haben, dass sie im falschen Gang sind und die E-Clutch suggeriert, dass alles prima ist ... Ich würde die QS+Blipper-Version odern ohne E-Clutch ... auf alle Fälle Daumen hoch für die CB650R und Dich, Schaaf ...

Danke, Addix! Ich bin selber erstaunt über die derzeitige Automatik-Entwicklung und verstehe ebenso wenig, woher das alles kommt. Eigentlich geht es ja immer nur um Gewinnmaximierung. Ob die mit solchen Entwicklungen klappt? Keine Ahnung, in naher Zukunft sind wir hoffentlich schlauer :)

I admit, I have not thought about the fact that there is no blip with an E-Clutch until now, altough it is pretty obvious.
