Which bikes are running such wizardry?
As far as sport-tourers, seems like only the adventure-type bikes, like KTM 1290 super duke GT, BMW S1000XR, and Ducati Multistrada. Surprisingly, BMW 'normal' sport-tourers (K1600GT and R1200RT) still don't have it, at least to my knowledge. The clip above only shows its braking advantage. You can literally hold the throtle wide open on a curve, and the bike will accelerate the hardest possible without crashing you, just like a motoGP bike. You also have multiple wheelie levels, like 1" off the ground, of more if you like, while still being safe. And stoppie control too. It has several very sophisticated sensors, that know exactly what the bike is doing. Practically all top-line sport bikes have it now. Hopefully the new Connie will at least offer it as an option.
