THROTTLE BY WIRE IS NOT DEPENDABLE AND EXTREMELY UNSAFE . MY WIFE PURCHASED THE BIKE FOR ME IN 2011. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH NO THROTTLE RESPONSE WHILE NEGOTIATING INTERSECTIONS AND WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH UNCOMMANDED FULL THROTTLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TEN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS . BIKE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR OF THE TBW FIVE TIMES. IT IS CURRENTLY BACK IN SHOP FOR TBW ISSUES. TO DATE ECM, BATTTERY, TPS, ABS SENSORS, THROTTLE BODY HAVE BEEN REPLACED. OTHER RIDERS HAV HAD THE SAME ISSUES. I LOVE THE BIKE BUT NO LONGER FEEL SAFE RIDING IT NOT KNOWING HOW THE THROTTLE WILL RESPOND WITH THE NEXT TWIST. THE UNCOMMANDED FULL THROTTLE ISSUES WERE LUCKILY ALL WHILE NEGOTIATING LOW SPEED MANUEVERS IN PARKING AREAS AND WHILE PARKING IN THE GARAGE. LUCKILY AS WELL THE BIKES ARE STILL MANUAL SHIFT, WHICH SAVED ME FROM INJURY DURING THE UNCOMMANDED FULL THROTTLE EPISODES.
