I thought it was a weird omission in this day and age, to leave off the cruise control for the 13 and 14 models. Obviously , Honda realized the mistake by including it afterwards. However, I knew the bike didn't have it and personally really wasn't an issue for me. I've never had a bike with it. Both my Valkyries were without it and all my previous bikes did not have it. Between the throttle boss on the Kury grips , I just never have any fatigue in my wrist. The Helibars probably help here too. The majority of my riding is back twisty roads where cruise just doesn't work. Or I am riding with others and the same thing. I am sure , if I had it , I'd soon miss it if I didn't have it on the occasions I hit the interstate.
