If seeing is believing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xH7A6i7Z3w At 1:15 he shows the broken cable after he routed the throttle cables over it. The design goes back to '96 and Suzuki doesn't mess with a good thing. It's not available in Europe since it's almost impossible to pass the emission requirements with a carb. Apparently it is no longer sold in Australia because some sort of safety legislation. It isn't legal in California either. I'm heartbroken. My 2008 DL650 (V-Strom) has an electronic sensor but it also is mounted on the front wheel. Both are sort of a PITA when you're replacing the wheel. Neither bike has ABS although at least in the US the DL650 did have ABS after 2011. I don't know if they changed the speedo. The '98 Harley Sportster uses a Hall effect sensor that picks up the 5th gear teeth in the transmission.
