Bleeding brakes has always been one of my least favourite tasks so I was interested to read about the self-bleeding systems fitted to next year's Streetfighter. Hopefully, this feature may trickle down to the Monster range in due course (maybe it will appear on the new "project 1803"?). Pity it doesn't yet apply to the rear brake though, as that's the one that's a real PITA to bleed.

"All Streetfighter V4 models in the 2021 range are fitted with new front brake and clutch pumps, both self-bleeding and derived from those used for the first time on the Superleggera V4. The body of the new pumps has been designed with a configuration that allows a ‘natural’ bleeding, thus eliminating the need to intervene on the system in the event of air present in the circuit."
