The faired sportster version of the E-Clutch story. Beginner-forgiving in town, engaging when you open up that screaming inline-four.
The faired CBR adds wind protection and sportier intent to the 650 four. Approachable around town, it's genuinely entertaining when you wind that engine out on an open road.
Same E-Clutch tech as the CB650R: clutchless, stall-proof, but still foot-shifted unless you let it manage the gears. The most relaxing way into faired four-cylinder sportsbikes.
Sporty looks without sportsbike stress, plus A2 potential. The committed riding position and firm pillion seat are the usual sportster compromises.
A sports bike you genuinely can't stall, that still rewards when you want to shift yourself. The most approachable way into faired four-cylinder sportsbikes.
