Oh, I see. For the average rider, the best difference is easy 49 state registration. For some the lower seat height is an advantage. The counter-balance engine may have an advantage in more flywheel weight. And maybe that advantage overcomes the dis-advantage of having a chain drive oil pump. The upside down forks are more of an advantage in higher speed off road work. But there is no denying the advantage of easier registration.
