People ride for a long time in the saddle while sport bike touring if it's there as an option, switch it on, switch it off it'd be up to you......
To be honest I think cruise control is a good thing Sports bike or not! as nothing worse than having to hold a throttle at 50mph in roadworks for 20miles
Not having Cruise on a Sports Bike is a big minus for me. Brilliant thing to have on Tours, especially with forced Motorway work. Tiz £5 worth of kit on a modern electronically controlled bike.
I do a lot of touring on mine. The chance to have the throttle held open for you so that you can use or move your right hand whilst still moving - that sounds good and I could use that at times - it would be very useful. Personally, setting it for 70-80 or whatever and just sitting there - no
It's going to be the first question I ask the guys on the Honda stand at the NEC bike show in a few weeks time.....
Cruise control would be very useful as I find arm muscles do start to hurt at the end of a decent ride out, especially when the journey finishes with a long boring motorway stint. To give the right arm a rest, using the left hand for the throttle is a bit of a pain (see what I did there). Motorways only for left hand throttle.
