Honda CB650R E-Clutch 2024

Honda CB650R E-Clutch 2024

The Honda CB650R E-Clutch impressed in our 2024 long term test bike with its combination of a classic four-cylinder engine and state-of-the-art E-Clutch technology. It offers a balanced riding experience that is enjoyable both in everyday life and on sporty rides. Despite minor weaknesses, such as its higher weight and standard tyres, it remains a reliable and powerful naked bike that stands out above all for its comfort, user-friendliness and innovative technology.

Powerful and smooth-running four-cylinder engine Innovative E-Clutch system for comfortable gear changes

Good suspension for a sporty and comfortable rider

User-friendly ergonomics and intuitive TFT display

Higher weight compared to the competition

Standard tyres offer handling that could be improved

Kawasaki Z650 2020

Kawasaki Z650 2020

It's simply marvellous what Kawasaki has put together in a complete package with the new Z650. The technical components may not knock your socks off individually, but in combination they make for a pleasantly neutral motorbike that everyone will enjoy. No bitchy idiosyncrasies - simply a naked bike that works really well on winding country roads. Of course, the TFT display, which we don't find in the competition at the moment, is a plus, as is the grown-up look, which is strongly oriented towards the larger Z models. Only the pressure point of the front brake could have been more clearly defined - but you can't have everything in this price range.
