    If I wanted a nanny I would hire one. I would have a hard time buying an EBR if features like this started coming on the bike.

    Imagine you don't need to use side stand anymore. Motorcycle can also follow you out the garage or it can get a tight parking spot. It also will help you balance at low speed or when you are staying at traffic without putting your feet on the ground.

    Minimal speed I can keep my feet on the footpegs on my 2009 BuellXB12Scg is 1-2 mph. My Buell has 240 rear wheel, it helps a lot to keep my feet on footpegs at slow traffic, but when traffic stops I have to put my feet on the ground anyway. I hate to ride at constantly stopping slow traffic, this feature will be priceless for future Buell motorcycles.

    When I ride my bicycle I can stay at one place and balance using front wheel without putting my feet on the ground, I trained this skill a lot, but I would not do the same on my Buell without this assist system.

    If you can't ride on your own then you shouldn't be on a bike to begin with . End of story

    So you are saying you should balance on your motorcycle with zero speed? I never saw any person who can balance his motorcycle staying in traffic.

    I don't like Honda design, Buell has the best design, the most pleasing aesthetics, but not all Buell models, just a few of them. The most important thing for me is how motorcycle looks. And there are some features I would like to see on Buell motorcycles.

    There are no future Buell models.
    That brand died in 2009.

    Lunatic, this is the only time I'll ever correct one of your responses to a post.

    What you meant to say was, "answers to questions ANY REAL MOTORCYCLIST never asked."
