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?

    If it’s any consolation I’m riding a '96 Hornet 250 and its given me zero problems in the last 3 years. Maybe Honda don’t make them like they use to these days though.
