I didn't notice that, good spotting. Guess it must be really easy to pass emissions/noise regs if you're using a relatively lazy engine and have no need for traction control.

Ride-by-wire is still a relative rarity outside of the flagship bikes. Like Slavvy says, there's not a huge amount of need for it on a low-powered bike.

It's advertising the Boeing employee motorcycle club. It's at the factory campus up at Everett where they build the 787.

As I learned in bike fix school, most modern ride by wire systems still have a cable for safety to force the throttle bodies closed if the computer shits itself.

Interesting! Cars left that setup behind like a decade ago. I would've thought they'd just use the automotive solution of having a big fuckoff spring attached to the TB so it snaps shut when the actuator stops holding it open. But perhaps because of having multiple throttlebodies this isn't feasible?

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.
The clutch is still manual, so you can always pull that in. Won't save the engine, but will stop you from running off.

First thing that caught me out about the 1290 was that if you're rolling with the engine on in neutral and you turn the key off, the bike doesn't actually turn off until you come to a stop. Haven't tried it with the killswitch yet, but I'd imagine that will kill it regardless.

Then I don't see the point of a cable, especially as you can hit the KS or grab the clutch then turn off the key.

Probably because the ignition doesn't operate a conventional relay type setup and instead just sends an on signal to the computer.

Off season motogp video pass is only 99 cents. Basically you get full races etc bact till 2002 and highlights back to 92 I think, till the season starts with testing in March. A steal...or their way of stopping you from stealing and making a dollar. Only Thursday and Friday.

I forgot I had mine on auto-renew and they grabbed the full amount 2 days ago. Though sometimes it is fun watching some of the older seasons. I work an overnight shift so if I start to nod off I'll try to find an exciting race.
