Strangely, it has pretty sucky engine braking. The XB's have gigantic heavy flywheels, so engine braking is minimal. The slipper clutch for my bike is $1500. No thanks. I rev match. It's the best I can do. The short wheelbase and my big monkey ass make the rear light, so jamming down a grear or two can make things interesting.
I rode a buddy's VStrom and thought it was going to throw me over the handlebars.
I feel an 1125 is in my future.
