MT-07 or GSX 8S? (self.motorcycles)

Looking to upgrade from a Z400. I’m split between the tried and true MT-07 and the newer GSX 8S. Both seem like solid bikes. I’m leaning towards the MT-07 but am worried that I am missing out on features that the GSX 8S offers.

Do you feel like not having a slipper clutch holds you back at all? And do you have the newer TFT display?

I’ve never ridden with a slipper clutch, but I’ve never felt held back on that bike in the slightest. If anything, it’s a bit too much fun, even restricted to 48hp. Can’t stop popping wheelies.
