Hello, I used to own a Z900 (2020). It was a great bike with nice sound. I enjoyed it alot. I know there will be a new Z900 coming out soon, but at the moment, if I take the looks and everything into account I would probably shoot for the CB650R.
Thanks for the review !! I just got my A2 driving license and I'm between this one (with ecluch-A2 limited) and Voge 525 DSX as my very first motorcycle. I think the ecluch it's useful for a begginner like me, as long as I'd use the "classic" clutch more and more when I feel more confident with the bike. Cheers!!
For the jerky throttle it even affects the honda cb125f, i think it's because the compression ratio of the engines is getting higher and higher those days so there is more engine brake because of it (when you let go the throttle totally and/or throttle up again from zéro throttle), another hypothesis: maybe because of Euro 5 anti-pollution norm the fuel injection tends to cut fuel injection earlier to totally zéro without anti programmed delay when you go zéro throttle, so it might make the problem even worse
I'm currently trying to decide which one is better: CB650R (both models, w/ and w/o an E-Clutch) or 750 Hornet? Maybe you have some advice or even is it better to get not a Honda but something else?
You can't go wrong with either Hornet or CB650R. Personally, I would choose CB650R for the looks & the e-clutch is a genius innovation by Honda. I see the e-clutch for city life where there is a lot of heavy traffic. I hope honda brings this e-clutch to USA market. 🙏🏾
@@antoniom4016 Yeah but it's quite more expensive in my country... Smth like +$2.5k approx. comparing to Hornet (if I wanna buy cb650r with an e clutch). But 100% agree with you
I only have 2 main complaints with this eclutch system. Number 1: It's a huge and ugly. The CB650R is a beautiful bike and then it has this huge cancer on the side of the engine. If they make it invisible i.e. built into the inside of the engine casing instead of slapped on the outside, then I wouldn't mind it. Number 2: I want to be able to turn it off completely and have it stay off even if I turn off the bike and turn it back on. I would only use it when in traffic or if I'm on a twisty road. Until it is invisible I will not buy it. I rushed out to buy a 2022 CB650R on sale when the 2024 model was announced since I think they made it look worse and they didn't add anything that made the bike better IMO.
Opino igual , es demasiado grande el e-Clutch . Creo que honda debería trabajar para poder integrarlo mejor en la moto para las próximas generaciones . Pero en el resto es genial .
So you prefer the cb650r over the z900? If so, why is that? Also, what did you not like about the z900?

Thanks for your comment and your thoughts. Will be interesting to know how you decide :)
Muy buen video y el tema del eclutch tiene muy buena pinta.
Muchas gracias por los subtitulos en español 👍🏻👍🏻🙋🏻👏🏻👏🏻
¡Gracias por tu comentario y por mirar!

Hello, I would prefer the CB650R. The engine alone is fantastic and the looks are too :)
@@BenalRida Thanks for the answer! Must agree with you about the looks, it's really good...
