...Slipper clutches are for the slightly more "extreme" or inexperienced riders... it's not the engine braking that's "bad" but the after effects... slipper clutches were developed to minimize the rear end stepping out on you in a corner when you are shifting down under hard engine braking (or, in my opinion - being that I have quite a bit of experience with riding twins - wrong choice of gear!)

...if you are not used to that, it can be a nasty surprise...
