You are actually right, that there isn't much sense in having a dry clutch on a road bike but since when does it make sense to have a 2-stroke any way ;o)

The main reason for having a dry clutch is the ability to change the plates in it, without having to change gearbox oil and the lower drag. BUT the NSR is the only roadbike apart from a Ducati, that has that RACY sounding clutch.

People who know racing bikes, will look admiring at you and assume that yours is a real racing bike with plates, as soon as they hear that chatter of the clutch.

Its the biggest BLING factor on a bike, AND THE OTHER GUYS CAN'T BUY IT FOR MONEY

PS I wouldn't even consider a NSR250R, You could probably find an R owner who would swop bikes with you, especially if yours is a real SP
