Honda's "E-Clutch" is a hot topic. It retains the manual clutch lever and clutch operation, but instantly switches to automatic clutch operation, and is an amazing device that can automatically switch between MT and AT freely depending on the time and situation. But wait a minute. Before that, aren't the CB650R and CBR650R models just too good!?

Proper lineup of good products.
It is safe to say that Honda is a leading company in the world of motorcycles. From the Super Cub, which has sold countless times around the world and is closely related to the lives of everyone, to the CBR1000R-RR, which showed its strength again in the Isle of Man the other day, Honda is "amazing" in every sense.
Among these Hondas, the one that I think is "a good model" is the 400X, now called the NX400, which can be ridden with a regular motorcycle license. This is really "good". It is not complicated, easy to handle, meets all needs, and depending on how you ride it, it can even satisfy your hobby. It is comfortable, fuel-efficient, and "reasonable" in every situation. It is justified as a motorcycle and as a machine.
And in the same sense, the models that I would like to praise are the CB650R and CBR650R. Since it is an engine displacement that cannot be ridden without a large motorcycle license, it should be emphasized for hobby use, but it has the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of riders, and there is no complexity by minimizing electronic control and detailed suspension setting functions. It's a motorcycle that you can ride without hesitation, and even though it's a four-cylinder, the price is reasonable. It may sound obvious, but among the many large-displacement motorcycles (over 400cc) these strangely cutting-edge days, this kind of "ordinary sports motorcycle" that "ordinary people can ride normally" is becoming rare. What's more, Honda has released it with a four-cylinder engine. This shows the strength of a leading company, and I can't help but think that Honda is proud of having such a universally good product in their lineup. First of all, I would like to praise and thank them wholeheartedly for this point.
