right. like doing a quick launch quarter mile? there's something about reving up to 10k and dump the clutch. can't afford it.

Lol. Its a learn how to wheelie thread. If throttle control and balance was perfect, the thread wouldn't have started would it?

It may be easier to bring a bigger bike off the ground but everything else is harder. Its bigger, heavier, more sensitive, and more expensive. Sounds like an awesome learning machine.

And I say cover the brake because shit happens, power or clutch. But yes clutchies are much nicer. And its not so much to bring the bike back to the ground (although it is good for emergencies) as it is a less sensitive "height modulator."
