I had a 2018 CB650F. Heavy for what it is. My transmission also had issues which I found others in the forums noted issues with it as well, so not surprising they have a new one. the previous gen apparently had "dead spots" in the rev range also. The seat was terrible after 30 minutes as well, but that's not just a honda problem. I like the quickshifter and new transmission tech, but all these new bikes should have a quickshifter and cruise control when they're 10K new. The display on this looks terrible though.
100% agree. If they could hide e-clutch inside the engine casing then it would be fine but I wont buy a bike with a wart on the side of it like that. So ugly.
@ It’s one of the first things I turn off on new bikes that have them. I don’t want “paddle shifters” on my motorcycle. It’s a track tool only in my opinion, and even then it’s just dumbing things down…
What a GORGEOUS bike. Honda just kills it with these bikes, and such fantastic innovation with the e clutch and DCT in the other bikes.
Damn good looking bike!

Good lookin scoot, minus the ugly wart on the engine side cases
Thanks Adam!

Damn that has some on point cyber punk vibes.
Love this bike for city traffic
seems like an extra I wouldnt want to pay for, bike looks great besides that.
Love the looks, just wish there was a 6-axis IMU.
Honda is as reliable as the moon 🌙
No bad looking wee bike
81 HP?????? are you sure? 70kW (94hp) and 63Nm @9,300rpm t
I was thinking the same thing. I was like, "Did they decrease the HP on it?"
@@urbanyeti659 In Europe this model has 94 Hp
When did riders start screaming for automatics? Is that really what you want? 🤮
Up and down quickshifters are not much different.

@madrat5176 I agree.
Yes, I have wet dreams about this motorcycle. 🥵🥴🤤
@madrat5176 I will probably buy a Cb650R next year if I have the money.
