Which isn't to say a 5-speed is trash and should be ignored. A few people have retro-fitted the clutch to pre-16 models. Which suggests it has some value for even 5-speed versions. I have a '17 and am quite happy to see the motor loafing along at the bottom of most highway speeds. However, a roll-on from there is immediately quite ...um... spirited. As always, ride your own ride. [/QUOTE]
