Those pipes, such a clean design. Still in the upright/naked competition for my next bike. For 2024 I guess they're coming with an e-clutch. With this you still have to shift with your for, but you don't have to pull the clutch.

The riding position looks a little too aggressive, but I still want to sit on one to see how it feels. It does come with a price tag of ~$9,400 MSRP which is on the priceier side of this class.

Anyone have one of these with the e-clutch?

Has anyone seen the white CBR650R in person? I have to have it shipped to where I live and I can’t decide between white or red. I feel like white paint can look meh or beautiful but you have to see it in person to know for sure

I have not! What region are you in? I didn't even know they made a white edition.

Once it's in put pictures of it on here so we can all be jealous of you.

Very nice. From the picture, looks amazing. White can sometimes be hit or miss, but on this one, it's really well done.

Thanks for the advice. I’d like to see it in person but I think I’ll enjoy it either way. I’m gonna go for it while I can
