Congratulations Lou! Very nice looking bike, you have to be excited for spring! Was the bike delayed because of the dock workers strike on the west coast?
Slipper clutch. Why is this not standard equipment on all new models? KTM390 and Yamaha R3 have now BOTH put out great new bikes and left out slipper clutches. Too expensive during production? Doubt it. Makes me wonder if a slipper clutch causes more mechanical problems than it is worth...
