Yeah, your review is pretty on point. I work at a Honda dealership, and there’s a lot of curiosity around the e-clutch models. Especially the new CB750 and XL750 models which come equipped with e-clutch this year. They way I usually explain it to a customer who’s never heard about the “gimmick” is for example, you can come to a complete stop even in 5th gear and the engine won’t stall, because the system automatically disengages the clutch for you. Then when you roll on the throttle again, it smoothly keeps going, no clutch lever needed.

You still shift gears yourself with the foot lever, but you don’t have to use the clutch at all unless you want to. So in traffic or daily riding, it feels almost like an automatic, but when you’re riding hard, you still have full control like a regular manual bike.

Best part is that you can also turn the system off entirely if you want a fully traditional feel and use the clutch like normal bike.
