Yea all that and I don't think Kawasaki has even put their 800cc bike on the track yet... Come on Kawaski are you going to play catch up like you did on the 1000cc platform???? About the time you could compete the class changed!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it that fun to be a fuckin loser?

What the advantage and/or disadvantage of a dry clutch? I think I'm looking at a dry clutch.

don't glaze as easilly too!
Nice lots a carbon bits....
I really like the front carbon rotors though.
In a couple of years they'll have the bugs worked out, and more affordable!

Noisy.......rattles like heck. Someone who wants to ruin your day can walk buy with an oil can and squirt oil on your clutch plates. Clutch dust on your boot..................

Is that a slash-cut pipe or does it have a can?

I always liked the rattle.
+
Shorter lifespan
Easier to glaze plates
Feel changes significantly with temperature
You can't save the steels when replacing the frictions, all plates must be replaced each time.

Those look like old school cast rims. I wonder what's up with that.

JB-Magtan, Enkei, PVM and other brand wheels are used but they are all forged.
