a slipper clutch n ABS is for those who cant control their bikes.

Since Honda hasn't put any of that on their bikes though, who knows. It could be an amazing innovation that changes sportbikes forever, or it could be an absolute joke. But I'm going to keep an open mind about it and wait for it to come out to give it a try myself before making any accusations as to whether it is or isn't good to have.

I couldn't disagree more. That's like me saying "well, gear indicators are for people who can't count", which would be far from the truth. It's there as an aide to assist the rider. ABS and a slipper clutch would work in the same way, to serve as an aide in case you cross the line into which you would absolutely need them.

well I would like to think they could stiffin the front and weaken the rear....since it seems the bike was set up for someone weighing 1 buck fitty.....I have torked mine to the ends just to ride it but for the best I need new springs....so instead of the powercommander and custom map....I would choose suspension....does anyone know about what time we should be hearing or seeing something???
