Re: interesting thread

Kind'a takes the man out of the rider don't you think?, bit like an automatic 4X4 you loose the option to use your own driver/rider skills offroad and I would also think it would be well dodggy in ice/snow conditions. On the plus side though, opens up the world of safely "gesturing" cagers who carve you up.

Re: interesting thread

would be interesting off road depending on the set up as you now auto box 4x4 give better traction and a better power delivery than manual clutch models. For slow and technical suff on a large bike where you dont want to give it the welly, traction would be controled.as Stan said need to give it a go first. you now that old blitish sceptisism.

ive reviewed some evidence that says you might need one as you have developed habit of throwing your 990 at the feet of damsels in distress

Met a guy on a 640 Adventure, he reckoned it was The Best Ever modification to a big dirt bike and made the tricky stuff much less tricky.

He also said that taking feathering the clutch out of the riding equation made it much less tiring.

I think they're about $730
