I hate throttle by wire, I am pretty sure it's what killed my friend last year on his harley. He had his bike in for service twice before for the throttle sticking (was a brand new bike), harley dealer claimed it was fixed but then he went out to wyoming a week later and his friends who were riding behind him saw him rapidly accelerate into a curve and he lost it and died at the scene. He was a seasoned rider so no wise cracks about his riding ability. His bike is still in lock up for further evalutaion from his attorney and the dealer who claimed it was fixed. Another friend of mine has the newer bike with this feature as well and has had it stick twice already on him. Very dangerous the throttle by wire is reagrdless of it being on a car or bike.
