InThe Rain and London Traffic Real Life Test of Honda CB650R With E-clutch

[@UsernameKate]

Loved riding with you so much!!! Great video!!

[@LloydGrace1]

Watching this brings back memories of being a London despatch rider in the 80’s. No Bike Shed to warm up in then, just cuppa tea in an Old Street Cafe. Shoreditch was a different place back then. Great to see a real life test in real life conditions! Nice video👌

OMG.... I really never thought I would EVER see my very best and absolutely NUMBER ONE biker content creators, standing and talking, next to each other in the SAME video!! Am I dreaming? Pinch me someone! I think all the rest of my Christmas's have come together all at once..., i'm over the moon and sporting a gigantic smile across my face 🥰.

Wow! Two of my favorites together! USERNAMEKATE & TOMBOY A BIT! 😍😍😍

[@CaptainFeathersword]

I just like seeing my gorgeous and understated CB650 inline with its smooth as silk inline-4 hilited in a video! I don't know if I could ever part with it.

Nice! I too love the sound of Honda 650! Such a comforting humming sound. Braving the rain, and in London traffic. That's my world but it's worth it. Thanks for explaining the e clutch. Gonna have to get my head around it, my clutch is an old friend I don't want to leave.

Nice skills in the traffic and the rain. Long time since I rode a bike round the capital. Well done Diemante 🤓💖

Hi I was a motorbike courier in the 80 and 90's a 1k miles in a good week! 40p a mile.!😂

[@JamesMurphy-ry2mx]

A friend of mine used to say he loved when it rained. Less tyre wear!

Riding in the rain and Deimante brings her own sunshine with her. Even a cameo appearance by Kate.

[@jeanettewest]

Now if that were an original with a Kerker pipe! Looks like the weather cooperated. :)

i just got my license yesterday, the school had one of these (an earlier model tho) as one of the practice bikes. The only complaint i had (as a noob) is that the gas was very sensitive compared to all the other bikes the school had, so it was challenging to get accustomed to it, but i had no issues with it at the exam, so i guess it becomes a non-issue for experienced riders.

Congrats and well done on passing. 🎉

Congrats! The throttle is a feature, not a bug. Takes some time to learn how to use it well, but it feels great once you do. Crisp and precise, pure joy for the technical rider 😉 You get that with all cable throttles, by the way. Not just this one. I did my DAS on a 2019 MT-07, it was exactly the same. Your 125 probably had one too, but since they have no power you get away with a lot. This thing has decent chooch factor, so a little bit of throttle opening does a lot more. Sadly most new bikes (especially the more powerful ones) have ride by wire, which comes with a bunch of artificial smoothing (to take care of any rough inputs). A lot or people see this as more rideable, but imho it sacrifices too much of that crisp precise feel to achieve it. I've also heard the one on the Yamaha Tracer 900 described as an on/off switch, so no guarantee that a computer between your right hand and the throttle shaft is going to make it easier to ride 🤔

Dee that looked like pure punishment ,so glad I dont do that any more , not fun at all , your so brave ,great video as always 🙏

[@MarcHillM]

Great vid but gosh where has all the central London traffic gone. I used to be a DR back in the 80's and it was choko then

[@millinutz]

As soon as my fingers get wet in autumn and spring, my Raynauds kicks in... with you as well? So you were in lovely Sussex, where I grew up before emmigrating, try to get to the Bury Hill Biker meet up, at the Whiteways Cafe on the A29, Pulborough - Arundel, on a Sunday or Wednesday. Well worth the visit for the huge number of various bikes from the 50s to today. They also do group Ride outs, but I think that's not your cup of tea.

[@winksplayle]

Don't you just love the British weather!!!!

[@robertholland7558]

Nope, why I reside in Australia

[@CliveWilliams-t7u]

A noticeable reduced number of tourists in the rain.. has some advantages

[@jenshasselmann1699]

Nice review and a nice bike❤🌹

[@AlexOnABoat]

How do you know there's a bunch of bikers in the pub? There's one table full of people and one table full of helmets.

[@JamesMurphy-ry2mx]

And they’re all drinking coffee. In the eighties it was large bottles of Guinness.

Reaching for that clutch at 1:33

[@arnoutvanwijk4916]

Why is it so that those little rubber caps on the end of the mirror stem, always creep up on Hondas? Mine too. You'd think that if they can develop technology like an e-clutch, a rubber cap that stays in place should be a breeze. 😅

[@mauriceridesout]

Hey you were 15 mins from me and no message😉 (I often do a ride to Windsor) P.s its a niceish journey Windsor to Brighton. Nicer in summer of course with the rape fields...
