Interesting survey, but the only option you had for traction control and quick shift included ABS. I despise ABS, but would love traction control and quick shift on a new bike. You might get better results if you separated them into individual options.

TC piggybacks on ABS. can't have TC without ABS.

No offense..but a waste of time. And it kept saying there was an error in submitting my answers.

not true.

you can add a delta traction control system easily to any bike.. Bazzaz is an example of this. no wheel speed sensors, or other parts needed. its really just software code.

a wheel speed traction control system can also be put on a bike, and not add an ABS box. the ECU could do the whole thing.


or even with ABS and TC...an ABS equipped bike could have a ABS off/TC on option.

All the extras are fine (not needed for my riding though). But these bike prices are getting up there. Dont want a CBR that costs 16k though. Not for 6 years anyway

Right, but if you've already engineered the ABS (very popular option, save the luddites), it makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER to engineer a completely separate TC system to sell the three bikes that will opt not to have ABS but want TC.

The Kawi ZX 14R comes in ABS and non ABS versions. All versions have TC. The ABS options is $1k

They market what they think they can sell.

I have TC and QS with no ABS, so obviously you can. One word... bazzaz. It was $600 instead of thousands from the factory.
