Anyone who had the rear wheel lock up going into a turn over the top knows why a slipper clutch is such a great benefit.
It is truly a Ducati groupie thing on liking the "Ducati" dry clutch sound but a new ducati owner I am not. I have to admit I do say , "What a sound" but just with a different tone than most new wave Ducati owners put on it. As I sayed above I do love the looks of a open clutch....that part is killer, almost like looking in the insides of a fine watch!
