I don't love the idea of surrendering clutch control (which I find very helpful and important) to the ECM--I like to be able to modulate and slip the clutch at will--but the hand/upshift-foot/downshift technique is very interesting.
I also like the idea the system includes what is essentially a quickshifter, although I doubt it has many practical applications on the street. Cool, nonetheless.
I can see how the system has some benefits and for some people will be worth the extra cost. I don't see it replacing manual clutches, but I can see similar systems offered on many bikes as an option. I don't think I'd really want it unless the system included a manual clutch overrride. Even then, eh...
Yeah, and why no 6th gear on the FJR? I never really understood that.
Nice job, Pierre.
