Wait a minute. The Victory doesn't have traction control?

I don't know if I could spend all that money on a new Touring bike and not have traction control.

That is like buying a New touring bike without cruise control, or without a powered windshield, or a head light that doesn't shine around the curves.

Nope just wouldn't do it.

When I do buy my next bike it will have traction control and all of the above plus more.

I wonder if there is such a bike on the market now?

The 2016 will have ABS Pro and Dynamic Brake Lights.

Yes I did Dave! I can spin the rear tire in first just by snapping the throttle on quickly.

With partial integral brakes, a rider really only needs to use the front brake lever to stop. I rarely use my rear brake by itself. The new bikes have hill start control too.

That doesn't even sound like a motorcycle anymore. Might just as well buy a convertible.
