I don't see a lot of these traits as "pushing the technology envelope."

Honda's has offered slipper clutches in different bikes for years.

Is a dry clutch really better than a wet one? (I'm asking, I actually don't know. But I don't think it is.)

You could adjust the suspension on my 01 R6 (front and back).

I feel adjustable levers are more of a perk than anything else. And with Duc, you pay the price tag for such perks.

The VFR has had a SSS for a long time. And really, is it pushing technology or just something different? Their MotoGP bike doesn't have a SSS, so there must be pros and cons to it.

400lbs and 30" seat height are not really advances in technology IMO.

Not starting a fight, just offering a different perspective.
