Gentlemen,
Time marches on and as tech gear gets cheaper we will see it added to more and more bikes. When it gets added to enough bikes legislation will make it mandatory (like air bags and ABS in cars). I bought a CB1100 because I like the elemental simplicity of the bike. To me it's as much a piece of art as it is a machine to ride. Because I live in AZ with our super low humidity and high heat, carburetors dry up quickly during storage and require rebuilding so I love the fuel injection. And electronic ignition sure beats points and condenser. I chose a non-antilock CB for myself but I paid for antilock on my sons Ducati.
Computer controlled suspension, stability control, ride by wire, and 7 different riding mode power and throttle control settings are things I'm not ready for or excited about. But I'm an old guy who likes old stuff. Sometimes bow hunting is more fun than high power rifle hunting with a laser range finding variable power scope. Cheers.
