just for the record WET/SPORT/RACE modes adjusts the engine HP output and the way the engine delivers...NOT SUSPENTION...hence, even the BASE model has this feature ;-).
I'm all for the technology and electronic suspention would be nice to have but, notice the race bikes dont have it ;-)...
electronic suspention is a luxury, a nice step fwd to the future but it still is a marketing tool...its just another 1st the Pani need...but not an everyday neccessity.
As someone else mentioned earlier, 90% of S riders wont fine tune the settings after the 1st,2nd or 3rd time messig with it lol. you'll find your self more flickering from wet/sport and race mode on a daily bases.
Eitherway, enjoy. cheers
Not sure I entirely agree...
The superstock bikes have same Ohlins, but not the electronic adjustment. This is OK if you have a pit crew who are on hot standby with their snap-on tool chest and you're minimising the electronics on the bike for weight or reliability reasons. But for us mere mortals that maybe ride to our track days, DES isn't a gimmick, its every bit a good and far more practical.
