motorcycle list with cruise control for real touring comfort

motorcycle list with cruise control forum question

I wanted a motorcycle list with cruise control because wrist comfort matters on long rides, and a throttle lock is not the same thing as real electronic cruise.

I found this related page while comparing notes: motorcycle list with cruise control. I wanted a practical thread before guessing.

Would you compare factory cruise, ride-by-wire, safety cutoffs, gear range, comfort, wind protection, service costs, luggage, fuel range, insurance and whether aftermarket options are safe?
