I had a K3 650. Did 31,000 miles on it from new. Cracking bike.

As my first V-twin the engine braking made a phenomenal impression on me, I'll never forget locking the rear up on a down change on the A406 and next day seeing the big, black mark I'd left.

I now have a K6 650. I've done 450 miles on it. Suzuki definetly seemed to have improved the fuel injection as it is very smooth, even at low speeds.

My question - Does the K6 650 come with a back torque limiter device?

I ask this because this bike does not have the engine braking of its predecessor. No matter how clumbsy I try to be, the back wheel responds with no more then a mere twitch.

I know that this should be viewed as a good trait but I can't help but feel that this, taken together with the improved fuel injection, makes the bike very docile meaning it can now rightfully be referred to as "chick-wheels".

The seat is also lowered and the position less sporty.
