How about developing an electronic cruise control. One that comes on new models and could be retrofitted to the older ones too. It shouldn't be difficult to do, since it's already a throttle by wire. Just add it to the electronics and put some simple push buttons on the bars.

How about a choice of colors. Adjustable seat height, handlebars & foot pegs should be easy to engineer too.

Agree...would like to see adjustable footpegs. I bought a set from Thurn and, for me, they have made a big difference in my knees and hips. Also had Rick Mayer work on the seat which moved up the seating position some via placement of the "bucket" and is much more comfortable on long rides...well worth it.

Bah, go buy a cage.

I wouldn't wish carpal tunnel syndrome upon you, but if it were to happen, perhaps you would change your mind.

Amen to that... short of a dedicated track only bike I'd like to have electronic cc on all my bikes for the same reason. Those who are eager to shout "Throttlemeister" have obviously never had a bike with a electronic cc unit installed.

I'd love a Honda sourced ECC. I use a Throttlemeister today as I'm unwilling to cut into the electricals for an aftermarket ECC.

With that stuff added it would be a 20k sticker price no doubt! I like my Corbin seat but some say its hard as a rock but shaped in a bucket so its not as hard as the stock seat, perhaps most people would prefer the Sargent or a made to order variation. I have a spring loaded throttle lock the Manic Salamander - its ok, but $800 for a CC is out of my price range for what I get, its just for a little wrist relief on those long slabs I dont have full blown carpel tunnel so the extra money is not worth it. Traction Control for a street bike is overkill too the vast majority of us dont ride like a motogp superstar, but if you got the cash then why dont they offer it as an option?

I don't know about you guys. But my Viffer is a beauty. No complaints, the ergonomics are in the best places (for me). However, that seat is real pain in the rear (literally). Also, the alternatives are expensive.

Maybe we can ask them to make a better seat.

Hey Honda,

Bring back the Blackbird.

Oh wait, wrong forum. :tongue:

Hey Honda,

Either make your fairing clips easier to unlock or cheaper to replace. Kthnksbai.
