GSXR-1000 A, B, C power switch.
The GSXR-1000 has a switch that kinda tames the motor A-full power to C-less power, softer delivery. First off, why bother, isn't that what throttle control is all about? Are they trying to attract every noob out there to buy something that only a small percentage of riders are actually qualified to ride? I guess the GSXR1K will be soon considered a beginners bike. Strange.
Where does everyone see this going? Will 600s get it to make them more beginner oriented, then rechipped to allow full power. What about having a tiered licensing system like europe, 30hp, 60 hp, unlimited?

I thought your right wrist was supposed to do this job? Guess theres a switch for it now.....I can see this being a selling point, preying on the eager wallets and ignorance of buyers. I think it's gonna sell to the guys who want to start of with a 600, but move up to a liter bike once they've outgrown their 600, you know, like in 2-3 weeks. (sarcastic tone here)

I agree. I don't see the point of it. It gets the rider used to the C setting, then one day, he unknowingly clicks it to A and crashes into a stopped car. WTF are they thinking?
I'm claiming "retardation" on this.....(unless someone else has a logical, well thought-out explanation supporting this as a "good" idea.)

Any respect I had for those at Suzuki has just gone out the window. If you are serious - this must be the biggest joke I've ever heard.
I personally have a problem with slipper clutches. It's too bad they're being used in MotoGP... it's like training wheels or something.
This is retarded. Suzuki bucks salls.

New engine management system is four time more powerful than the previous system and allows the rider to choose from three engine settings to match riding conditions with a handlebar mounted switch

This is too funny, why even ask this here? Go ask on a gixxer forum. If you want to bash a product have the ***** to do it to their faces.
