Traction control on a normal 600 or 700cc bike is a nonsense.
Clearly, if you can't manage a bike of that capacity without TC, then you're 'over biked' and need to cut your teeth on something sensible that is less likely to hurt you.

I shall be happy to take your enlightened advice once you can show me how fast you react when you go through an unseen diesel spill.

Keep your mind open on the Scrambler. I much preferred it to your other options after a test. The MT is a great bike and gets rave reviews but it’s a different ride and for me not in a good way.

Yes, I’ll be testing the three for sure. I’ll try to keep an open mind as best I can!

You seriously think TC will save you?
And what happens when you hit that diesel spill on a bike without it?
That's when riding ability counts.
I'm not anti rider aid per se, they have their place.
But in a crisis they're no substitute throttle control and riding ability.

What happens to you without it was my question so no need to send it back to me. You claimed TC was not needed on lower powered bikes, I gave you an example where it might save your bacon. Otherwise you’d have to be Marc Marques to have a slim chance to react fast enough to keep it on its wheels.
