Apparently Honda has been developing [url=https://www.advrider.com/honda-e-clutch-makes-life-easier-but-only-if-you-want-it-to/]a new clutch system.
New developments are welcome and needed, but I am glad I got two CB1100 with 6-speed standard shifting

It almost seems to imply Honda could originate after sale option packages (for a princely price, I'm sure) to take care of CB1100 clutch duties when the it is convenient to do so.
Should be interesting to watch how far the Honda lawyers will allow Marketing to go.
