My 2012 BMW R1200R has an automotive type dry clutch. Running at low, like parking lot, speeds the throttle response was like an on/off switch. I installed a box to fatten up the fuel mixture and that helped. I finally resorted to keeping the bike in 2ng gear. That made it much better, but lugged the engine.
I did not experience that problem on my '14 CB1100. It had really excellent low speed manners. I don't think I would have gone to the expense of installing a slipper clutch, unless to original clutch was dead.
My 2016 R1200R does have a slipper clutch and it is great. It makes riding the bike, especially in town, super easy. As yet, I have not experienced any problem with lack of engine breaking.
