Well the 08's are out and it seems that only the Touring bikes are using the DBW system. How strange is that? No throttle cable drooping below the bars. Talk about a excellent hidden wire bar opportunity now. Controls to the tree, nothing in between.

Maybe next year.

Will WOT be affected? I know in GM trucks if you mash the gas it takes off quite slow and smooth. How are the baggers gonna do burnouts?

I had it on my 99 Vette. Awesome. No delay.:driving:

DBW does affect takeoff in my '05 Silv but very very little, you have to be looking for it. To me the system seems better than a cable.....

DBW is a great feature and I would really like to see it in the vrsc line. Not only do you lose the cables but you would reduce vibration transfered to the handle bars through the cables.

DBW is quite an amazing system. The computer modules is what determines how fast you're going to rev up the engine when you slam it to the stops. A prime example of top of line DBW is the Air Force. Fighters have been using them for years. The ability for a redundant system is much greater as well. In the space of one cable, you can fit 3 wires. If the cable were to snap, you'd be screwed. If one wire fails, the 2nd wire picks up and away you go.

Hmm, ABS, Brembo's and DBW on the touring bikes. Sounds to me like they are getting the platform ready for a "modern" engine :diablo:

I thought the new IDS for the touring models was interesting too.
