Don't think that's correct if I am honest, slippers have been around for ages, they primary design was for the likes of Dukes etc (twins) that had loads of engine braking, thus the clutch circumvented the locking of the back wheel on a down change, not so apparent on a 4 cylinder machine, although as we have more powerful bikes now, especially GP machines slippers appear more and more.
