A slipper clutch costs about half the price of your average bike (yes... complete with cool 3-spoke chopper wheels...). Is it a cheap series... or becoming like most other race classes: the one with the deepest pockest has the best chance of winning.

RTFM??
2005 on Monster 620s came fitted with the wet slipper clutch as standard - some people would rather buy a newer, low mileage bike to race than an older one which needs work.
The Ducati APTC clutch was available for around £300 from dealers which is a shed load cheaper than even my current project....
