If the Honda CBR650R and the CB650R share something in terms of sensations, it is that ease of driving, a perception of a comfortable and playful motorcycle for all audiences that look for a balance between comfortable driving and sportiness. The extra touch will come in the next version that the Japanese brand is preparing,
It seems that the Tokyo factory already has an update in mind for both the CBR605R and the CB650R. In mind and on paper, because he has applied for a large number of patents in which show what will be the main novelty and asset of the new models: an electronic clutch. It will be something that reaches the rest of the range, but starting with these two twins.
He electronic clutch is a small but important novelty with which Honda seeks a revolution. Unlike historical clutches that transmit the mechanical movement of a lever to a cable or hydraulic pressure, an electronic one is a system that converts the mechanical into electronic. Something like vehicles with an electric accelerator, since the clutch has a similar system.
The new clutch would transmit the clutch ‘peck’ electronically from a sensor via a cable. Naturally, force and leverage will continue to be necessary, but the ‘grace’ is that the pressure to operate it will be much less than before, creating a new and total sensation when shifting.
According to the patent registered by the Japanese, We can imagine three modes of this electronic clutch. An automatic one that does not require a lever and does not stall, another mode that automatically returns to automatic mode by disengaging the clutch at the driver’s will, and a third complete manual mode.
It is obvious gender to say that it is a great help for beginner drivers not used to the feel of a clutch, which is not that it is too difficult. Hence, this range will be the first to introduce it in the very near future. And naturally we do not leave aside the most experts, who would also want to check the delicacy and buttery feel that this new electronic clutch aims to have.

Any evolution results in additional expense. As pointed out Young Machinebringing forward this type of clutch in the new model would have an impact on the final price of the motorcycle of about 100,000 yen, which in exchange are equivalent to just under 650 euros. The next version of the motorcycles could be the lucky one to see this novelty.
