Those of you who are this way inclined (interested in sports tourers) might enjoy this article. The clutchless gearbox on the AE model sounds like a bit of a trick!

Serious question; You use the clutch much on an ST?

Except, obviously, when you are very very slowly?

Very nice3. Very nice indeed. But I think I'd stick with a normal clutch

Only to change gears and inch forward in slow traffic.

What a ripper of a bike. I think I would be tempted to stick with the normal clutch lever.

Would feel mighty different without a lever to rest fingers on!!
It's all very F1 trickle down technology isn't it?!
Cool, Might be nice for cruising/touring, so I would perhaps consider it for a touring bike

Only to change gears and inch forward in slow traffic.It doesn't like clutchless shifts? I know it varies from bike to bike, but I can be smoother on my current bike if I don't use the clutch once I am going 40km/h + .
