a slipper clutch n ABS is for those who cant control their bikes. Most racers have em now yes, but most have em set so they rarely do anything. I rathers have a updated appearance, more/smoother performance, and lil things like a gear indicator.

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.

I think it looks Sweet.
I like how they brought back the ducts in the seat.
Wish they would powder coat the rear sets & pegs black.
I wish it wasn't, so that way I don't want to wait for one

I yet to see a GP bike with a shorty pipe like that tho lol.
MotoGP bike have 2 or 3 small cans on em.
Thats more like squidly exhaust. and if it were to come with a tail pipe than short n small, it would have a muffler heavy as hell under it.
