After having ridden my wife's brand spanking new LC and having crawled around, over and under it, having kicked the tyres I believe I can safely say what I found to be the most impressive technological jump over the previous models.
Is it the:
- steering damper? No.
- liquid cooled engine? No.
- integrated gearbox? No.
- wider tyres? No.
- wet clutch? No.
- counter spinning gearbox? No.
- speed control? No.
- auto mode LED headlight? No.
- various electronically controlled riding modes? No.
It is the fact that they finally redesigned the top box lid not to slam shut on your f(&*^()îng fingers, by itself, while you are scratching around for your ciggies! :thumleft:
