Send us Fan Mail Is Honda’s new E-Clutch technology cheating, or is it the future of manual riding? Annick takes the 2026 Honda CB650R out for an in-depth, real-world road test. After logging over 1,100 miles through heavy rain, stop-and-go highway traffic, and loose gravel, she breaks down how the E-Clutch actually works, how it stacks up against Honda’s DCT and traditional quickshifters, and whether it’s worth your money. ⚙️ Key Bike Specs & Highlights Engine: 649cc liquid-cooled inline-4, four-strokeHorsepower: 95 HP stockExhaust Design: Four-into-one header pipe stylingCurb Weight: 459 lbs with fluids (E-Clutch hardware adds approximately 4.4 to 6.6 lbs)Transmission: Standard 6-speed manual foot-shift with automated electronic clutch actuator and manual lever overrideRider Aids & Electronics: TFT display, ABS, adjustable Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), customizable shift feel (soft/medium/hard), and adjustable shift RPM points (no dedicated preset ride modes)MSRP: $9,299 (including destination fee) 💡 Key Takeaways from the Ride Not a DCT: Unlike Honda’s fully automatic Dual Clutch Transmission, the CB650R still retains a physical clutch lever and requires foot shifting.Anti-Stall & Seamless Stops: You can come to a full stop in any gear without touching the clutch lever, and the bike will not stall.Instant Manual Override: Pulling the clutch lever immediately returns full manual modulation to the rider; releasing the lever returns the system to automated operation.No Stoplight Revving: Because the automated clutch engages directly with throttle input in gear, you cannot blip or rev the throttle at a standstill without propelling the bike forward. 🔗 Links & Community 💬 Join the Discussion: Are you on "Team Clean" or do you let road grime build up for street cred?

This unique, neo-retro machine blends design cues from the '60s, '70s, and '80s into a modern, head-turning package that appeals to every generation of riders. In this episode, we'll dive deep into its daily street manners, break down its standout design elements, and see if its performance on the winding back roads and open highways lives up to its fierce looks. 📊 Key Specs & Highlights Covered: The Engine: Powered by the responsive 776cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine (shared with the V-Strom 800 platform but configured for street riding), delivering smooth power at any speed. Underslung Exhaust Done Right: Suzuki nailed the aesthetics by tucking the exhaust underneath the belly pan with a short side pipe and a sleek, decorative stainless steel shield. Ergonomics & Seat Height: With a 31.9-inch seat height and a narrow tank-to-seat junction, shorter riders (like Annick at 5'2") can confidently touch on the balls of their feet while enjoying a highly comfortable, upright standard stance. 8TT vs. 8T Upgrades: Discover the premium touches that set the TT apart, including custom stitching details, bar-end mirrors, a front quarter fairing, and a plastic lower cowl. Handling & Suspension: Built with beefy 41mm front forks (non-adjustable), adjustable rear damping/preload, and grippy Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires on 17-inch wheels. Highway & Comfort Test: We put the wind-buffeting protection of the quarter fairing and the vibration-dampening capabilities of those large bar-end mirrors to the highway test. ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro & Walkaround 0:45 - Neo-Retro Inspiration & The Underslung Exhaust...

If you would like to ride the extra mile, you can help support the show by - Buy Me a Coffee This episode features a detailed review of the Honda CB1000 Hornet SP, highlighting its technical specifications and real-world performance. Annick emphasizes the bike's 1000cc inline-four engine, noting its 155 horsepower and sophisticated Ohlins and Brembo components. A significant portion of the analysis focuses on the electronic ride modes, specifically how adjusting engine braking and traction control can vastly improve the handling experience. While the motorcycle is praised for its nimble chassis and competitive $11,000 base price, the review also critiques the restrictive stock exhaust and the "clunky" nature of the quick shifter at low speeds. Comparisons are drawn to the smaller CB750 Hornet, concluding that while the 1000cc model is a powerful "bare-knuckle brawler," the lighter sibling remains a more practical choice for daily commuting. Additionally, Annick addresses ergonomics for different riders and the bike's behavior during high-speed highway cruising.

If you would like to ride the extra mile, you can help support the show by - Buy Me a Coffee This week, Annick reviews the Honda CB750 Hornet, a middleweight naked sport bike newly released in the United States after being a popular seller in Europe. The review highlights the bike's ease of riding, nimble handling, and comfortable ergonomics, which she attributes partly to its parallel twin engine and relatively light wet weight of 422 pounds. She contrasts the Hornet with the Honda CB650R, noting that the Hornet is a simpler, more affordable machine at an MSRP of $7,999, making it an attractive option for both novice and experienced riders. The review also touches on the bike’s features, like its digital display, ABS, and quick shift capability, before concluding that it offers great value and fun for the price point, suggesting it is an excellent "blank canvas" for customization.

She expresses strong disapproval for the bagger racing format itself, calling it "stupid" and a "parody" due to the motorcycles' heavy and clunky nature, arguing they are ill-suited for serious racing. While acknowledging the potential connection to Liberty Media's anticipated acquisition of MotoGP and the effort to boost both brands, Annick ultimately believes this collaboration is a waste of money for Harley Davidson and suggests they focus on their core products and find a new CEO.
