Who has rode a 2007 Yamaha R-1 that has the NEW " Throttle by wire" ??

Question:
Just wondering if it is smoother and better. I know this is the first bike in its class to have it. I think it is a great idea, super smooth and better response. I am sure, the other 3 Japaness companys will follow. I want to get this in th Kawasaki, and I know Suzuki and Honda will follow.

I have, and you really cant tell the different, except when decelerating, or rolling off the throttle. Its a bit more smooth, but I'm sure you could feel the difference when you put aftermarket stuff on it.

My 2006 Vulcan 2000 won't start after storage with full battery?

I haven't tried it but I hear that it's basically un-noticeable. I'm not sure how I feel about the whole fly by wire thing. I like knowing that my hand has a direct connection to the throttle. Reminds me of all the problems that Audi had back in the day with their throttle getting stuck wide open

I only road one at a demo day in a parking lot. I could not tell the difference, but then again, I was not on open road. The reviews I read said that it is not noticable.

I'd like to buy a 125cc Bike in Indian Market ...Suggest?

I *HAVE* taken one for a test ride and I concurr that it is absolutely un-noticable. Granted, the test ride was merely 10 minutes of city riding, so I didn't have anything approaching the opportunity to open the throttle up.but I couldn't tell the difference.

Oh...and to the individual mentioning the Audi's "unintended accelleration" phenomonon of the 1980s.just so you know, that was proven to be the result of stupid people pressing on the wrong pedal, rather than anything mechanically wrong with the car..
