Thank you everyone for all the information.
In Japan, have finally started delivering CB650R E-clutch to dealers.
The photo is my bike that will be delivered this weekend to me.

Even at this stage, Honda seems to be prioritizing test drive over delivery to customers, but my dealer was gracious to the customer over everyting.
It seems that several people have canceled their orders in Japan.
My dealer is lending me a CB1000R as a response to my expired motorcycle inspection, and giving me a 50,000 yen option.
I admire the dealer, but the manufacturer is poop.

Those who've taken delivery of the new CBR650R, how are you finding it please?

Also interested to read feedback from owners on the Honda RoadSync please?

Answer 1: Amazing, fun and comfortable, the only "issue" if issue can be called, once you turn off the e-clutch then you have a full manual transmission, no quick-shifting in case.
Answer 2: useless, I've installed a Quadlock phonesupport (but you can use whatever you prefer) and placed my old smartphone as Navi, much better navigation experience and you can do everything.

Thank you for the feedback. Disappointing to read the navigation is poor
It's just a turn by turn and I've seen that when it's active it's impossible to enter the menu, for e.g. to check the heated grips level. Since the phone is just below the dashboard there's no sense to use it and honestly having the notifications it's just a burden for me, while I'm riding I just want to enjoy the ride😅
Here's a picture of my setup, I took it from lower so while I'm riding I can clearly see both screens.
