NEW EFI DRZ400SM is Dumb

New DRZ400S and DRZ400SM (DRZ4S and DRZ4SM) have finally come out. Suzuki rocked the old one for a quarter of a century but it actually happened, A NEW ONE. But is it even worth it? Is it just the KLR650 treatment, new plastics and EFI? Should we care at this point? Seems to be heavier with a bunch of nanny electronics we don't want. Still a 5 speed, still a 399cc. Is that worth it just for EFI?
