What's the story
Honda has launched the 2025 CB650R and CBR650R bikes, making them the first motorcycles in India to feature the innovative E-Clutch system.
The advanced technology, developed by Honda in 2023, removes the necessity for clutch lever operation during starts, stops, and gear shifts.
It promises to improve rider comfort in daily traffic while retaining sporty riding thrills.
