Nice overview of the Bike and enjoyed your commentary. I have returned to riding after a 30 year break and picked up a 2024 CBR650R (without the e-clutch). I did add the race pack, so got the quickshifter and cosmetics. I came from 2 strokes, so the inline 4 is why I chose it as its more like 2 bikes. Super easy and relaxed under 6k and then above 6k you get a different bike. Agree the e-clutch is a great invention and if I was commuting it would be a no brainer. However for me it sticks out too far and makes the aesthetics slightly off. I disagree on the styling side, I think it looks amazing and have to look at back at it and grin. The tail is much better than the old one. Maybe in a few years I will go for a fireblade, but for now its a great all round bike.
