  • I feel like the biggest reason is to get something without traction control and less power so I can safely find the limit.

    Why not TC?
    Get it out of your head that you’ll reach the limit of any bike. Even if you can, unless you’re on the track, don’t try to.
    Never ride 100% or find the ‘limit’ of the bike, because you might not be able to come back from said limit.

    Nothing wrong with TC or electronics. I find it an odd cognitive bias when people disregard safety measures. Why not drive without a seatbelt?

    If you’re riding for fun, get the electronics, ride in peace on sketchy country roads. if you’re gonna ride on track, turn them off and go fucking ham.

    This makes sense.

    I'm definitely in the gathering information stage here and appreciate the input from those with experience.

    Thanks all.
