    Cool 2006 Yamaha FJR1300A and AE

    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.

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    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

    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 + .
