[QUOTE="69ST, post: 181881, member: 5"] The inherent disadvantage of the semi-automatic is that it affords the skilled rider less control, overall. Downshifting, at speed, as one would do on the road is a biggie. So, too, is dealing with trail riding, when the sudden shock load reversals...as when navigating whoop-de-doos...beat the piss out of the driveline; being able to squeeze a clutch lever, spares every part from the sprocket dampers to the primary drive gear from taking a real beating. It's also a helluva lot easier pulling in the clutch, to freewheel at any speed...than it is holding the shift lever, or finding neutral. For that matter, shifting into neutral, at speed, is usually accompanied by a loud "KERAKKK" an unmistakable byproduct of gears being hammered. [/QUOTE]
