Throttle by wire is 1950's tech?

Which typical Harley has fly-by-wire?

Understood and I mentioned the V-Rod as being the only forward innovation (other than buell) in a number of years. Too bad Harley didn't even design most of the VRSC (the engine anyway).

This point is completely valid and makes perfect sense. I agree.

Hope you're right.
