My Yamaha FJR had Throttle by Wire. Did Honda ever upgrade their Wings to this technology?

Not as yet to my knowledge...Current throttle set-up on my F6B works just fine for me and does the job....Ride safeOriginally Posted by K/W Motoman
I agree 100%. My F6B is a marvel to ride. Someone asked the question about the Throttle by Wire and I didn’t know.
Makes me want to go out to the garage and take it for a night ride!
Nope, throttle by cable...its adjustable!

It's rumored that supposedly the new generation GL1800 will be throttle by wire
"Go sell crazy somewhere else, we're all stocked up"
Yes throttle by wire is a bit more precise but cable push/pulls work very well and is the extra cost of TBW worth it? If you have huge amounts of horsepower it is beneficial for better control of that power. TBW also works better I'm told with anti lock brakes. We have neither huge amounts of HP or anti lock brakes so the cables work fine for our needs. The new GW might be a different story.
