You should check out some of the new liter sportbikes.

That would make me nervous. I don't want to have to worry a computer could unexpectedly override the commands I'm giving the bike.

That technology is already here in cages. And hell no, no one but me is deciding when and where to apply brakes. More government and insurance nannies..

Auto throttle would be more useful.

As long as it is a option not the only choice it's really not that bad of a idea to go ahead and give people the choice!

Stuff like that makes me want to buy a Shovel Head and that's going a ways. I used to ride one.

You aren't kidding! Launch control, wheelie control, wet traction control, steering stabilizers that adjust themselves the faster you're going and on and on. I"d like to see HD incorporate the wet traction control into their bikes. Complete auto braking on the other hand is lunacy. Of course, so are litre bikes on the street.....
