Mebbe they learned that a dry clutch is unnecessary on a road bike.

Interestingly I seem to recall similar shrieks of defence/distaste when a new model was released a while back…same thing different times

Nearly forgot,(Without riding either) I’d keep the 749

Saves on maintenance, stops the noisy rattle that bugs the neighbours and stops them being so grabby. Bit of oil round the clutch plates is fine by me (although I do miss my shiny pressure plate and springs

).
