my 08 ultra's TBW is a little less responsive than my 05 RKC but not a problem once I got used to it.&nbsp\\; Sparks, if you are unconfortable, park the bike until the MoCo figures it out.&nbsp\\; I'm riding the hell out of mine!&nbsp\\;

Yamaha/Star motorcycles will have at least one model with "Fly-By-Wire" in 2009 - they offically call it "Fly By Wire".&nbsp\\; For Harley it is "Throttle By Wire"

9,000 + miles&nbsp\\; No problems works just as advertised,&nbsp\\; Wish there was a little make that a lot more acceleration but I don't think that is a Throttle By Wire problem.&nbsp\\;

I believeYamaha R1 has had it for a year. If not that bike then it is one of the main fours literbikes. Supposedly this is hot technology and you will see alot more of it. I commend Harley for goiong with it.
