Hi mate, have you had any update? Ordered 15th of may and still had no correspondence from Honda
Hi there, got an email also regarding the £500 contribution but nothing said about dates either. Edinburgh. Have been offered a hornet 750 instead as they can’t tell me when I’ll get it. Appreciate the reply
I do really want the CB650R but not sure I can wait until the end of October tbh, such a shame.
I’ve not ridden one if I’m honest. I’m actually considering getting a 2023 cb650r. Just completed das the week I put a deposit down so having to use a 125cc atm is killing me. Wouldn’t be so bad if I had something more powerful in the meantime. Still not heard anything from them. Don’t think they want to commit to a date. I’ve not even heard about the October speculation yet. The guy did say they were honouring the jan-June orders but unclear what that meant at the time. Are you going to wait?
I'm on the Polish FB groups and everyone mentions about some problems with indicators. But there are no details or official information. Only rumours passed on from dealers. There is also no recall for models that have already left dealers.
Thanks; that's clear. Not sure I'd want a first-gen one. If DCT is anything to go by it took ten years to refine....
This E-clutch system is much simpler than the DTC. But you are right, first gen is always tricky. But it´s Honda, thei seem to be the only ones to make it right the first time.
Awe no! I was in the situation as well, just passed my DAS and placed the order, had a delivery date of 4 weeks so sold my 125!
It’s frustrating as you see people getting brand new 2023 models and I’m not sure I’ll even use the e clutch anyway. Just added it due to only being £100. Im tied with having bought some accessories for it so unless I sell them I’ll need to wait, was considering getting a cheap run around, contacted Honda today to see if they would allow me to trade in my 125 and give me some form of approved used bike in the meantime. Shy kids and all that. Appreciate that I’ll let you know how it goes also
How long did you get a loan for?nice one mate looks amazing. Might have too. Will need to get rid of this 125 first but can’t see that being an issue. If you really liked the e clutch I’d keep your order
It will be worth it when you finally get it. Hopefully they agree to a loan of some sort as well. It would certainly help the wait time. What accessories did you go for?
Just an update for you. I was in trading in my 125 at the weekend and the salesman didn’t do much to help. Wouldn’t allow me to loan a bike for a couple of weeks. Didn’t seem to know much about why there was a delay. His take was” I’m still allowed to sell units that have arrived meaning the problem must be a supply issue. If it was safety related I wouldn’t be allowed to sell them” he thinks it’s the display as that’s one of the few parts that are on all the held up vehicles. Was hinting towards buying a new cl500 and trading it in later. It doesn’t make sense the amount I would lose on it. Not much help at the end of it all.
