I know, I'm eager to see how the CBR does too with its version of TC as well.

Re: Motorcycle.com reviews '08 ZX-10R

Adjustable slipper, a "not" traction control management system, and separate high/low compression. A few nice goodies it sounds like. But it gained 8 pounds? That sucks. I'd guess most of that is in the new emissions garbage. An aftermarket exhaust could cure that.

All the manufacturers are going to shy away from the term "Traction Control", for, most likely, legal reasons. God damn sons-a-bitchin' lawyers.

Yeah, I fully understand why it's a "not" traction control system. I'd play the same game if I were them. Either way, I'd still like ABS and "not" traction control on my bike if they could do it without increasing weight and decreasing reliability. One of my biggest gripes about some of the "high tech" stuff is that it is one more thing that can go wrong that the average person can't fix.
