Speaking of these new bikes, with ride by wire, clutch assist etc.
How's the engine braking? I keep reading there's very little to any on the new 1200's.
Can anyone confirm this?
I feel like it’s quite similar, maybe not quite as much braking as the 790 engine but that could also be the five speed tranny. The drive-by-wire throttle does take some practice as the computer is significantly faster than closing the butterfly on a carb and that can cause uneven running on the wind down. You really feel it in town especially if you get on an all red light pattern.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
