Cruise Control Alternative for all Motorcycles

What is this thing.

The ATLAS Throttle Lock is the most intuitive cruise control alternative ever built. When engaged, the ATLAS holds your throttle in place with friction so that you can relax your grip, shake out your hand, adjust your jacket, etc.

Calling it a throttle lock is a little misleading because it doesn’t actually “lock” the throttle of your motorcycle. You can override the ATLAS at all times. When you want to increase or decrease your speed, simply rotate the throttle like normal and the ATLAS will hold that new position.

How does it work? The ATLAS mounts to most motorcycles in 10 minutes. It clamps to the plastic throttle tube, between the grip flange and the throttle housing. The ATLAS Throttle Lock has two buttons. One to engage the unit and another to disengage the unit. When the ATLAS is engaged, a friction pad on a stainless steel tab presses against the throttle housing wall and, using pressure and friction, stops the return spring from snapping back. When disengaged, your throttle will function exactly like it did from the factory.

Who cares? We do. That's why we offer a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee as well as a 2 Year Manufacturer Warranty. We want you to be stoked on the new function your bike will have once you bolt on the ATLAS Throttle Lock.

Ride With The Best

The ATLAS isn’t simply a novel design, like some other throttle locks. The ATLAS is the most universal and intuitive throttle lock ever made, built for motorcycle world travel. It will be the last throttle lock you’ll ever need to buy.

Top Kit vs. Bottom Kit

The ATLAS Throttle Lock comes in 2 different configurations. A Top Kit and a Bottom Kit. Most riders will be using the Bottom Kit, but some will need the Top Kit.

The Top Kit was designed for motorcycles with certain interferences.

- Throttles with heated grip wires on the lower half of the grip

- Right-hand turn signals on the throttle housing

- If there is less than 1.5 inches (38 mm) of clearance between the tank and the throttle housing at full right turn.

The Bottom Kit will work best with the majority of motorcycle on the road.

- Works with throttles that have a heated grip wire that runs out the top half of the throttle grip flange.

Ultimate Guide to Motorcycle Cruise Control Options: Factors to Consider and Adaptive Technology Spotlight

Let’s talk about motorcycle cruise control. It’s a game-changer for long rides, but choosing the right one can be a bit overwhelming. I’m here to help you navigate through the maze of options available.

In this article, we’ll delve into the different types of motorcycle cruise control systems. We’ll discuss their pros and cons, and what you should consider before making a purchase.

Get ready to make your long rides more enjoyable and less tiring. Stick around and I’ll guide you through your options to help you find the best motorcycle cruise control for your ride.

Types of Motorcycle Cruise Control Systems

When it comes to enhancing your long rides, there’s a variety of motorcycle cruise control systems you can consider. Let’s dig into the three major types: electronic, mechanical, and adaptive cruise control systems.

Electronic Cruise Control

These are high-tech offerings designed to maintain a motorcycle’s speed without throttle input. Engaged using a button, they’re often found in more advanced, feature-rich models. Unlike old-school systems, electronic controls give precise speed control. But this precision isn’t cheap – these systems are typically more expensive and complex to install.

• Precise speed control
• Ease of use
• Usually integrates seamlessly with modern control systems
• Generally more expensive
• Complex to install

Mechanical Cruise Control

A simple, time-tested solution. This would be the throttle lock, a device that physically locks the throttle in place. While less precise than electronic counterparts, throttle locks are easy to install, affordable, and work on pretty much any bike with a throttle cable.

• Easy to install
• Universally compatible
• Less precise speed control
• Not as user-friendly

Adaptive Cruise Control

The newest player in the game, these systems adjust speed based on the proximity of vehicles in front of you. Currently, adaptive systems are generally limited to high-end touring models.

• Enhances safety
• Allows for dynamic speed adjustment
• Limited to premium motorcycles
• Expensive and complex to install

Remember, when choosing a motorcycle cruise control system, consider your needs, your motorcycle’s compatibility, and your budget.

Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Cruise Control

When speaking of superior precision and performance, Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Cruise Control is a standout in motorcycle cruise control systems. It uses advanced electronic mechanisms to monitor and regulate your motorcycle’s speed.

This type of cruise control is often found in high-end models. ETC integrates sensors and electronic controls, allowing for more efficient engine operation. Through ETC, you can set the exact speed you want and maintain it until you decide to change it or deactivate the system.

Isn’t this great? Just think about it: riding for miles, never having to constantly adjust your speed. The ETC cruise control does that for you! It’s worth noting: ETC is a bit pricier. Yet, you’re paying for the technology and sophisticated controls translating to precision and comfort while cruising.

However, complexity in installation is somewhat of a downside. When planning an ETC cruise control installation, it’s better to let professionals handle it — especially if you’re not tech-savvy.

The ETC cruise control offers:

• Better fuel efficiency : With precise speed control, fuel consumption reduces as your engine runs more efficiently.
• Minimal manual intervention : Once activated, it seldom calls for manual speed adjustments.
• Increased comfort : Long drives become less strenuous as you don’t have to constantly monitor and adjust your speed.

In the realm of motorcycle cruise control systems, Electronic Throttle Control sets the bar high with precise speed control and improved functionality. Increased cost and complexity might make some folks think twice, but when considering the benefits, it presents a solid choice for the discerning rider.

Mechanical Throttle Lock Cruise Control

Moving on from the sophisticated  Electronic Throttle Control  (ETC) systems, let’s explore more cost-effective options that offer simplicity and ease of installation. Enter  Mechanical Throttle Lock  cruise control: A twist and go solution appealing to those looking for basic speed regulation.

Unlike ETC systems, which rely on advanced electronics, Mechanical Throttle Lock systems are manually operated by the rider. These systems  lock  the throttle grip in place and maintain a steady speed until the lock gets released.

Comfort, cost-effectiveness, and simplicity are the main aspects of these mechanical systems. When it comes to fuel efficiency and precision though, they fall short compared to electronic or adaptive systems. They, more often than not, require the rider’s intervention for speed adjustments, especially in varying terrains or traffic.

Installation and cost are where  Mechanical Throttle Lock  systems excel. They’re likely the least complex motorcycle cruise control system and can be installed in a few hours. While offering  less control precision  than ETC, their  low cost  makes them an attractive choice for many riders.

As you can guess, comfort comes at a cost. If you’re on a tight budget or prefer to keep things simple, the  Mechanical Throttle Lock  system will do the trick. However, for those willing to invest in more advanced functionality, remain patient as you won’t want to miss learning about Adaptive Cruise Control Systems upcoming next.

Electronic Cruise Control (OEM)

Moving past the basic functionality of Mechanical Throttle Locks, I’ll now move to a more sophisticated motorcycle cruise control variant – the Electronic Cruise Control (OEM). OEM, standing for Original Equipment Manufacturer, implies this system generally comes factory-installed on your bike.

The Electronic Cruise Control does not merely lock the throttle at a desired speed. Instead, it uses electronic sensors and a mini control unit to maintain a preset speed, making it more precise than its mechanical counterpart. This system makes riding long distances less tiresome, offering a stable speed that adapts to various road conditions.

However, not every feature is rosy about the Electronic Cruise Control system. It’s not available on all motorcycle models; only certain high-end or touring bikes come with this feature pre-installed. Upgrading to a bike with factory-installed Electronic Cruise Control means spending some significant dollars.

Despite the limited availability and high cost, I can’t ignore the valuable benefits the Electronic Cruise Control offers:

• Consistent Speed : No sudden acceleration or deceleration, offering a smoother ride.
• Automatic Speed Adjustment : Responds to changes in road conditions, maintaining a set speed without manual intervention.
• Reduced Rider Fatigue : Long rides become less tiring as the system reduces the need for constant throttle adjustments.

Jumping from Mechanical Throttle Locks to an Electronic Cruise Control system certainly comes with a price. Still, considering the added convenience, it might just be a worthy investment for avid tourers. Yet, for riders looking for the most advanced technology available, Adaptive Cruise Control Systems take this technology a step further. I’ll tackle those next, so stay tuned.

Aftermarket Cruise Control Options

After we’ve discussed  Electronic Cruise Control (OEM)  systems, it’s only fair we examine aftermarket cruise control options. These systems are a beautifully viable choice for those whose rides do not come pre-installed with an OEM system, or for those looking to avoid the steep costs that come with buying a new bike.

One popular aftermarket solution is the  Vacuum Operated Cruise Control  system. It works by using an actuator driven by the engine’s vacuum. This system offers a middle ground in terms of sophistication and price between the Mechanical Throttle Lock and Electronic Cruise Control systems. Its main benefits include better speed consistency, easy disengagement, and less rider fatigue.

• However, be informed that like any other system, it has its cons too. Installation can be slightly complicated. Moreover, sudden throttle responses might cause disengagement.

Another aftermarket option worth considering is the  Throttle-by-Wire Cruise Control . These systems have seen rising popularity in the market, thanks to their revolutionary design that eliminates the need for a physical throttle cable.

• Using signals from the rider to control the throttle valve, these systems can give you enhanced precision and an overall improved riding experience. Watch out for a higher price tag though.

A variety of adaptable aftermarket systems are available in the market, catering to the needs and budgets of different motorcyclists. It’s all about finding the system that complements your ride.  Adaptive Cruise Control Systems , an even more advanced technology, is something I’ll be discussing next.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Motorcycle Cruise Control

In the quest for the perfect  motorcycle cruise control system , several factors come into play. It’s not merely about picking the most expensive or the most advanced – it revolves around choosing what works best for you and your ride.

Compatibility

Foremost, make sure the cruise control system you’ve got your eyes on is  compatible  with your motorcycle’s make and model. Every system won’t fit every bike – do your homework before diving in.

Consider your budget. Higher-end systems like the Throttle-by-Wire or the upcoming Adaptive Cruise Control systems may be more sophisticated, but they also come with a higher price tag. If you’re working with a modest budget, the Vacuum Operated Cruise Control could be your optimal choice.

Riding Style

Your riding style should also inform your decision. For folks often touring or covering long distances, an advanced system that reduces hand fatigue and enhances comfort will be worth the investment. Conversely, city riders might not find much value in a complex setup.

Installation Complexity

Just as it’s crucial to consider the product’s price, don’t overlook the installation process. How potent is the system if it’s too complicated for you to install? Don’t forget, some systems might require professional help, leading to potential extra costs.

In the upcoming discussion, we’re going to dig deeper into the newest technology in cruise control systems: the  Adaptive Cruise Control System . A marvel of modern engineering, it might just change the way we view motorcycle cruising forever.

Choosing the right motorcycle cruise control system isn’t a decision to take lightly. It’s crucial to weigh up factors like compatibility, cost, and your personal riding style. Don’t forget to consider the complexity of installation too. Aftermarket options provide a wide variety of choices, ensuring there’s a system out there that’s perfect for every rider. As technology continues to evolve, we’re seeing some incredible advances, such as the Adaptive Cruise Control System. This new tech promises to revolutionize the way we ride, offering unprecedented levels of control and convenience. So, whether you’re a seasoned rider or a relative newbie, there’s never been a better time to explore the benefits of motorcycle cruise control. It’s a game-changer that’s well worth considering.

Active Cruise Control

The new Active Cruise Control (ACC) rider assistance system delivers maximum convenience when riding your motorcycle: Using the electronic cruise control system with its integrated proximity controls, you can set your desired riding speed as well as the distance to vehicles in front of you. A radar sensor on the front of the motorcycle determines the distance to preceding vehicles using the yaw rate and vehicle speed. If this distance shrinks, the system automatically reduces your speed and reinstates the desired distance to preceding vehicles. This lets you focus completely on enjoying your ride, making even the longest tours relaxed. 

Three control features for the ride

The new ACC has three control features. Dynamic Cruise Control (DCC) regulates the riding speed set by the rider. Active Cruise Control (ACC) regulates the selected speed in consideration of the distance to preceding vehicles set by the rider. If necessary, the curve control feature of the ACC will automatically reduce your speed, enabling you to hit the curve at a comfortable lean angle. As  the lean angle increases, the braking and acceleration dynamics are limited. This helps you to ride in a stable manner.

The ACC gives you full control: As a rider, you are always in control and have the option of making changes at any time. 

Easy to configure

Riders can set the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead with the press of a button on the handlebar. The distance can be set to three levels, while the speed can be configured between 19 mph and 99 mph. Individual settings are visible on the TFT display.

The two control features "comfortable" and "dynamic" help ensure a more balanced or dynamic acceleration and deceleration. 

The distance control feature can be switched off so that you can also use the Dynamic Cruise Control (DCC) system on its own. This system regulates your desired speed in a range from 9 to 137 mph.

The Best Motorcycles With Cruise Control: Ultimate Guide For Long-Distance Riders

• Gear & Accessories
• The Best Motorcycles With Cruise…

What motorcycles have cruise control ? That’s a question many riders ask, especially those who love long road trips.

Cruise control isn’t just about comfort. It can also help reduce fatigue and improve fuel efficiency.

But not all bikes come with this feature. A few bikes provide this feature as an option, but some don’t offer it at all.

If you’re curious to know what motorcycles have cruise control and how it impacts your ride, then stick around!

Understanding Cruise Control on Motorcycles

Cruise control, once a luxury feature in the world of motorcycles, has become increasingly common. It’s not just about riding with ease; it changes the entire experience.

Here are some key insights into cruise control and how it works.

The Nitty-Gritty of Electronic Cruise Control

Have you ever pondered the process that occurs when your bike is set to cruise at a constant speed? The electronic brain – an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) – communicates with the engine management system. Together, they adjust fuel delivery to maintain that steady pace. Pretty cool, right?

Premium touring bikes from renowned brands like BMW, Harley-Davidson, and the Honda Goldwing series now come equipped with this technology right out of the factory.

A Peek Into Throttle Locks

If electronic cruise control is too high-tech for your taste or budget, there’s another option: throttle lock or manual cruise control. This little gadget physically holds your throttle open at any position you desire. Say goodbye to sore wrists during those long straight rides.

You can add these aftermarket modifications to many motorcycles, regardless of make or model, because let’s face it – we all need comfort while cruising down highways.

While both types offer increased comfort during long rides, especially if highway riding makes up most of your journey, using them responsibly is paramount due to potential safety concerns.

Grasping the mechanics of an object and employing it securely go together.

Types of Cruise Control Systems in Motorcycles

Cruise control systems have revolutionized the riding experience for motorcycle enthusiasts. What was once considered a luxury has now become a necessity, with these systems becoming increasingly prevalent.

You may think that all cruise controls are identical, however this is not the case. Different cruise control systems exist, each with its own set of characteristics.

Standard Cruise Control

The first type is the standard electronic cruise control system, which can be found on many motorcycles across various brands. This system allows riders to maintain their desired speed without constantly gripping the throttle, providing an extra set of hands when needed.

Active Cruise Control

One step up is the active cruise control, a clever technology that utilizes radar sensors to automatically adjust the bike’s speed based on the road conditions ahead. This feature truly makes life easier for riders.

Adaptive Cruise Control

A recent innovation in the cruise control landscape is the development of adaptive cruise control (ACC), which takes the technology a step further by incorporating radar-based assistance systems. ACC systems allow the motorcycle to not only maintain a set speed but also adjust that speed according to surrounding traffic conditions.

Motorcycles equipped with adaptive cruise control use radar sensors to detect vehicles ahead and calculate their distance and speed. The ACC system then adjusts the motorcycle’s throttle and engine output as necessary to maintain a safe following distance from the leading vehicle. This feature provides an added layer of convenience and safety for riders, especially during long journeys or in congested traffic.

In recent years, multiple motorcycle manufacturers have begun integrating adaptive cruise control systems into their models, making this advanced technology more accessible to riders across the globe. As the technology continues to evolve and improve, it is likely that we will see further innovations and advancements in motorcycle cruise control systems that will enhance both the convenience and safety of motorcycling.

We’ve got other safety features that are often found alongside motorcycle cruisers, taking things up a notch.

Traction Control: The Unsung Hero

Traction control plays a crucial role in enhancing motorcycle safety, particularly in conjunction with cruise control systems. This feature uses sensors to detect any differences in wheel speeds, such as those caused by slippery surfaces or abrupt accelerations. Upon identifying the loss of traction, the system steps in to reduce power or apply the brakes as necessary, ensuring prevention of wheel-spin. In turn, this provides riders with increased stability and control over their bikes, especially during critical situations where maintaining a grip on the road is paramount.

The Cornerstone: Cornering ABS

Now, let’s talk about another player in our safety feature team – cornering ABS. This is one tech-savvy component. It works as part of the bike’s overall safety and controls system, using sensors to maintain a set distance from vehicles ahead while adjusting brake pressure during corners.

This feature shines bright when sudden braking could lead to skidding or loss of vehicle control – yikes.

Coupled with cruise control functions, these integrated systems significantly improve road safety for bikers worldwide – score.

So, remember folks – it’s not just about having cool gadgets on your bike, but also understanding how they work together for optimal performance and rider security.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does cruise control work on a motorcycle.

Cruise control is a feature that allows a motorcycle rider to maintain a constant speed without manually controlling the throttle. It can be a factory-installed system or an aftermarket add-on.

What types of motorcycles are more likely to have cruise control?

Cruise control is more commonly found on high-end, modern motorcycles, especially those with ride-by-wire systems. Touring and adventure motorcycles are more likely to have cruise control because it provides a comfortable and convenient experience for long distances. However, it is also becoming more common in middleweight bikes like the Aprilia RS 660 and the Yamaha MT-09 SP .

Are there any reliable used motorcycles with cruise control?

Yes, there are reliable used motorcycles with cruise control features. Some popular options include the BMW R1200GS , and the Yamaha FJR1300 . It’s essential to inspect any used motorcycle carefully for wear and tear, and to ensure the cruise control system is functioning correctly.

Can I use cruise control on a motorcycle with a manual transmission?

Yes, cruise control systems can be used on motorcycles with manual transmissions. However, you will need to disengage the cruise control before shifting gears or coming to a stop.

What are the different types of aftermarket cruise control systems for motorcycles?

There are two main types of aftermarket cruise control systems: mechanical and electronic. Mechanical systems, such as throttle locks, are simpler and less expensive but offer less precise speed control. Electronic systems, like the MCCruise or Rostra, provide more accurate speed control but are more complex and costly.

Motorcycle cruise control is not just a luxury; it is a game-changer for long rides. You have learned about the mechanics of how this feature works on bikes and its influence on your ride. We have delved into different types of systems, from adaptive to active, showcasing the future of motorcycle technology.

We learned that many touring bikes come pre-installed with factory cruise control out of the gate, especially newer bikes. Certain cruiser motorcycles as well as sport bikes also carry regular cruise control as a part of their features, it really depends on the specific brand as well as bike model.

Additionally, we have discussed budget-friendly motorcycles that lack this feature, which may come as a surprise. But don’t worry, aftermarket modifications are available to give any bike an upgrade. These add-ons can enhance overall performance and safety features.

Now that you are equipped with knowledge about motorcycles with cruise control, you can make informed decisions when buying new or modifying existing bikes.

MCCruise TBW Aftermarket Cruise Control Hands On Review

***My Pick of the Year So Far***

Video Review

The Rationale

When I discuss which products to review with our content manager I push for:

• Ones I hear other people recommend strongly in forums or in person.
• Products I personally believe will be useful or have a clear, positive impact .
• The more expensive ones . I want us to take the financial risk so you don’t have to.

The MCCruise system fits this criterion exactly . To this point, I haven’t reviewed a product that I like or will appreciate having on my bike more than this one. It’s not even close.

I’ll cut to the chase and reveal that the only reasons MCCruise didn’t get 5 stars out of 5 come down to the cost of buying the system being fairly substantial ($550 which is a lot of cheddar) and the fact it does take moderate mechanical skill to install it .

Some people might also point out that the control switch assembly is too big and will ruin the look of their bike as well. I’m on the fence about that one.

FYI: *** The kit only took about a week to arrive here from Australia and I had to pay $25 of duty as well. 

Not a Throttle Lock

Practically everyone has at one time or another spent $20 to $100 on some variety of throttle lock in an attempt to save their wrist and hand from cramping up on long trips. I’ve tried more than a few myself and they’ve always left me wanting and unsatisfied.

The MCCruise is a sophisticated electronic add-on that works the same way the one in your car does… only smoother and better.

This review is for the Throttle By Wire compatible MCCruise system made for KTM 1190 Adventure bikes , but there are also numerous kits available for bikes that have cable operated throttle assemblies instead. They’re quite different with the cable systems costing more to buy and being more complicated to install because of the need for an actuator servo to be installed correctly in order to work safely.

This means that there’s an MCCruise available for pretty much every bike on the market .

The Overall Experience

I installed the throttle by wire system in my 2014 KTM 1190 Adventure S in about three sessions lasting 2 hours each . I think that’s roughly how long it took but I’m not totally sure. I was battling illness and sub-zero temperatures in my garage which made me have to take breaks for a couple of days before coming back to it. Add to that my OCD tendencies forcing me to wait for parts I had ordered, needed to finish other repairs/maintenance while I had the gas tank removed like:

• Cleaning the engine air filter
• Removing the emissions canister
• Replacing both fuel filters
• Installing a kickstand relocation kit
• New chain and sprockets
• New mounting bolts for the bash plate under the engine

What can I say? I wanted to make sure my bike was totally ready to go for riding season. My point in telling you this is that the kit wasn’t difficult to install, just a little time-consuming. I’ll go into greater detail about the installation later. First, let’s talk about the performance of the MCCruise.

A “Quick” 160 Mile Test Drive

When the weather finally warmed up enough in this unusually cold month of April for me to contemplate road testing the MCCruise, there was still plenty of melting snow and ice on the ground outside my garage.

I steadied my nerves and bulldozed my way through the 4-inch deep pile of snow and ice built up in front of my garage and made it to dry pavement. It was an uneasy slip and slide lasting about 35 feet to the road, but then I was free of winter’s grasp ! I’m now looking at replacing my Continental Attack 2 tires with something that would have an easier time to get traction in snow as a result.

During winter here in Alberta, city snow removal crews throw down copious amounts of pea-sized gravel to give better traction to cars traveling on the snow and ice covered roads. That gravel is still very much thereafter everything melts and it creates deadly mayhem for motorcycles every spring. I was very much aware of this danger and tried to ride accordingly once I reached the clear asphalt. That’s tough to do on a bike as powerful as my KTM and I wisely took it out of my preferred SPORT mode in favor of STREET.

My plan was just to ride a big lap around the outskirts of the city I live in, lasting about 25 minutes and allowing me to adequately test the MCCruise at a variety of speeds, and on differing terrain.

As I got out of town and onto roads where I could safely engage the system to try it out I was caught by surprise when a red indicator light appeared beside the ON button after pushing it. For whatever reason, the red color made me think something was wrong or not working because I didn’t remember reading anything about it in the instructions to indicate that was normal.

I decided to throw caution to the wind and risked pushing the SET button .

Scenes from the old Stephen King movie Maximum Overdrive began flashing through my mind. I briefly imagined the KTM taking me on a terrifying and unstoppable ride right up to my bike’s insane top speed. Would I perish in a fiery crash brought on by my own incompetent installation of the MCCruise system? A glitch in the programming maybe?

Oh well, at least I would die doing something everyone would remember and talk about for years after. Remember that crazy motorcycle writer guy crashing at 200 mph into that field full of cows outside town?

What an idiot he was thinking he should have cruise control on a 1190.

The Red Light Means MCCruise Is On, But Not Engaged… Phew!

My irrational thoughts disappeared after the red light turned yellow and the bike very smoothly locked at the desired speed and stayed there until I squeezed the brake lever or pulled in the clutch just as advertised.

You know how most cruise systems jerk when you hit the SET button and let off the gas abruptly? MCCruise doesn’t do that. It’s super smooth when activating, but immediately drops off when you cancel it. Full credit for making this a truly motorcycle friendly system. No herky-jerky on a motorcycle, please and thank you. Well done!

Solid and Accurate

I was so pleased with the initial test that I HAD to ride longer than just a lap around Airdrie, so I headed west towards a huge hill that slopes upwards at a 45-degree angle for at least a couple of miles to see how well the speed would hold. I set the cruise at 75 mph at the bottom of the hill and it didn’t waver even 1 mph in the ascent !

I ended up riding further west into the still snow-capped Canadian Rockies that I love riding in so much. I logged a total of 160 miles to make up for some of the long winters I had to endure without any riding time. The MCCruise was flawless and completely earned my trust and confidence over that time and distance .

How Low Will It Go?

Most cruise control systems won’t activate until you’re going faster than about 25 mph and I was curious if that applied to MCCruise. After some experimentation, I found that I was able to activate the MCCruise at a surprising 18 mph as it turns out. That’s going to come in handy riding through construction zones this summer.

A Happy New Owner

Up until then, I was seriously considering selling my 1190 and buying a different bike equipped with factory cruise control. No more! That’s going to save me a pile of money and let me keep a bike that I’ll now really enjoy a lot more on long rides.

The MCCruise Brothers

The minds behind MCCruise are two Australian brothers named Tony and Frank Guymer . The testing data they provided me with showed that at 60 mph there’s almost zero variation in speed even when riding up big hills. My testing confirmed those numbers. It’s really well thought out and engineered.

Tony and Frank were easy to reach and prompt to answer questions via email or phone. Impressive considering they’re half a world away “Down Under”. I found them to be very passionate about ensuring their product is safe and reliable.

Firmware and BlueTooth

Tony informed me that coming in the next month or so you’ll be able to buy a Bluetooth connector to add to your MCCruise system to further enhance it This connector combined with an MCCruise app on your phone will allow pairing of the two devices.

When improvements to the firmware are developed by the Guymers you’ll be able to update the system this way.

Even better, the app will display your TRUE speed instead of just what your speedometer reads if you pair it with your cellphone and GPS app . The MCCruise app can be set up to warn you if you go over the speed limit for the road you’re traveling on. That could help save you money on speeding tickets and justify buying the system.

Intelligent Cruise Control

Tony Guymer told me that he and Frank had successfully programmed the cruise control system to automatically adjust the bike’s speed on its own to match the GPS road data. They chose not to release this feature to the public because the road speed limit data isn’t always accurate. All the same that is pretty cool to think this kind of potentially “intelligent” cruise control is possible with MCCruise.

The Installation

Now we get down to the nitty-gritty: getting the kit on your bike .

Instruction Manual

The instruction manual is written in a clear step-by-step style and has useful black and white photos in it for reference. It covers:

• Removal of all parts necessary for MCCruise installation
• Routing of the two wiring harnesses and where to attach tie straps
• How to disassemble wiring connectors on the bike and in the MCCruise harness
• Wiring color diagrams and what sensors and switches they correspond to. This also functions as a basic wiring schematic for the system and can be used for troubleshooting needs down the road
• Calibration of the system when the install is completed
• How to safely bench test the system in your garage before taking it out on the road

It Turns Out I Read “Aussie” Fluently

I impressed myself with my complete comprehension of the Australian dialect the manual was written in and how much it resembles our English language.

This page in the manual lists everything that comes in the kit and provides part numbers in case anything is missing. Everything in the kit gets used in the installation , including the packing foam. I found that out the hard way when out of habit I threw it away after opening the box weeks before I installed the kit. I didn’t realize that chunk of foam is used underneath the MCCruise electronic control module for support when installing on the bike. Oops. Good thing I had some extra foam kicking around.

TPS Harness and Main Harness Installation

There are two harnesses to be installed that run from just underneath the handlebar riser mounting clamps along the right side of the frame under the gas tank, all the way back to underneath the passenger seat area.

The TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) harness installation begins with removing the left side mirror and sandwiching the control switch housing mounting bracket in between it and the mirror perch (photo above). You have the option of a normal or high mount depending on what configuration you have to work around on your bike’s left handlebar.

I installed the standard height bracket as pictured above. There’s still plenty of room to use the buttons on the left handlebar.

You can alternately mount it underneath the left handlebar if you prefer as shown in this photo below . Looking back now that may have been a more discreet location for it.

The MCCruise TPS harness has two connectors on it that match the TPS connectors on the bike’s harness. You need to connect them in between the two halves of the bike’s connector.

In order to get access to the bike’s TPS connector, you need to remove the gas tank and the left side intake tube. Even after that, it’s a challenge to be able to cram your hands into the small opening in the frame available to access it. The instructions say to remove both intake or snorkel tubes, but I managed it with only the left side removed.

Photo Above : This shows the view looking from above at the small opening in the frame to access the TPS connector.

The bike connectors are all fairly difficult to pull apart using only one and a half hands while working through only a small opening, but it can be done if you’re persistent and use a very small screwdriver to help by pushing down on the locking tab.

Photo Above: The mess that is the TPS and Main MCCruise harnesses that are installed in the jumble of connectors located behind the triple tree clamp area.

In addition to the TPS connector, you’ll also have to pull apart the ones for the front brake and clutch switches located in the same small area and plug in MCCruise harness connectors. After doing up everything in this small area you’ll have twice as many connectors jammed in the space just flopping around. I wrapped tie wraps around the whole collection and secured them in an ugly looking ball to the frame. As you can see in the photo above it’s not pretty, but should hold together.

Now it’s time to route both harnesses towards the back of the bike along the inside of the frame between it and the airbox.

This photo shows the gap between the frame and airbox where the two harnesses have to be routed from the front of the bike to the back. The two steel tubes on the left of the photo make a good anchoring point and guide for the harnesses to follow as you route them.

That bundle of shiny wires is the TPS and main harnesses coming from the front and running along the right side frame all the way to the back of the bike where the MCCruise control module will be housed underneath and behind the passenger seat. You have to loosen off the orange body panel screws on the lower part of the photo in order to route the harnesses under the frame and then up and over it to the control module. Do all this while bearing in mind where the seat will land on the frame so that it won’t pinch the harnesses.

There’s also a wire with a clear plastic connector coming off the main harness that plugs into the diagnostic plug you see sitting on top of the battery in the photo above and another that you route to the rear brake switch located under the bike’s electronic control module.

Roadskin Taranis Jeans Hands-On Review

Note: ***MCCruise offers a pass-through patch harness to support other accessories or “dongles” already plugged into the diagnostic port. Other add-ons can live downstream of the MCCruise connection with this patch harness installed allowing the MCCruise and another performance-enhancing system to operate simultaneously. No worries, Mate!

The final yellow wire off the main harness runs across the frame of the bike above the rear shock to end up connected to one of the spark plug coil connectors as seen in the photo below. Again, the way to do this is clearly explained in the installation instructions.

Install The MCCruise Brain

This is the “brainbox” for the MCCruise system that makes the magic happen. You’ll have to unlock the large, rectangular connector that plugs into it and insert several wires in the correct pin holes before you connect it to the brainbox (electronic control module if you want to use proper nomenclature). The instructions show and explain clearly how to do this , thankfully.

Once that’s done you can stick the brainbox to the roof of the pocket in the black plastic body panel at the rear of the bike. The instructions call it a “duckbill” if I recall correctly. Velcro tape is included to hold it there and then you stuff the packing foam from the kit (that you wisely didn’t throw away) under it to keep it in place. A perfect hiding place for this important computer module to stay safe.

That shiny black wire in the photo above with the clear plastic spade connector on it also needs to be plugged in to supply power to the system from the bike. You’ll find two wires with these spade connectors just hanging out in the back of that body panel waiting to put power into whatever you decide to connect to them.

Removing the Emissions Canister: Optional

In the last photo, you’ll notice two hoses on the left of the power wire, one of them has a blue dot on it and a bolt stuck at the end of it to plug it off.

Those hoses came off the emissions canister which I chose to remove from the bike in order to make room for the MCCruise control module and free up the area where the bike toolkit is supposed to be kept too. I don’t need the canister in the area I live to comply with emissions regulations. You, on the other hand, may need to keep it in there depending on where you live. Check and see what your local laws regarding fuel tank emissions are before removing this canister.

This photo above shows the canister in its mounting bracket and how it would take up all the space in the duckbill area.

The hose with the blue paint on it in the photo before the last one came off the nipple in the center of the canister. That’s the one you plug with a bolt. It leads to the PCV on the left side of the engine . You can verify this by trying to blow air into the hose. You shouldn’t be able to flow any air into it if it’s the PCV line.

The other hose leads to the right side of the gas tank cap area and is a breather . If you blow in it air will flow out the end of the hose at the front of the bike if your gas tank is removed or into the tank if it’s still installed at that moment.

Trace the breather hose back to the area just in front of the bike’s battery/computer area and cut it there as seen in the photo above. Tuck the rear portion of the hose down out of the way. Feed the front portion of the hose back towards where it connects to the gas tank cap and then re-route it so that it runs straight down along the frame somewhere so that it can drain anything that comes out of the gas tank breather without pouring it onto the hot exhaust anywhere.

Doing it this way leaves the option open of putting everything back the way it was using a barbed fitting between the two cut sections of the breather hose if in the future you need or want to put the canister back in the bike. Don’t worry, removing the canister and plugging the PCV hose won’t damage anything or throw any error codes on the bike.

Final Checks

You should have the control switch box in place, all the wiring run now and the computer installed. Use the supplied tie straps to anchor the harnesses down tightly and so that they won’t get pinched by any moving parts of the seat when installed.

Now it’s time to check your work for errors and calibrate the MCCruise to your bike’s throttle position sensor . This is a way of making sure the cruise control will work without having to risk a failure while flying down the highway on the bike.

Self Diagnostic Mode and Calibration

The process is explained in the instruction manual of how to put the system in test mode using buttons on the control switch while watching the little LED light beside the ON/OFF button.

This video goes through the installation process and the way to test and calibrate the system.

I Wholeheartedly Endorse it

This Throttle By Wire MCCruise system is a super smart add-on for bikes like the KTM 1190 Adventure S or R, Honda VFR1200X or even the new 2018 Honda Africa Twin.

These bikes and many others have TBW technology on them but still no cruise control option from the factory.

How manufacturers can seriously say these are touring/adventure bikes and not provide cruise control is a riddle I’ll never solve. Some are coming around now and we’re seeing cruise control on newer KTM bikes for example, but this isn’t the case with many others. The legendary sport touring Kawasaki Concours has never come with cruise control for example.

Luckily MCCruise is a viable option that can make you as happy as I am now that it’s on my machine.

There have been issues reported with some of the earlier MCCruise systems for cable actuated throttles . Those systems used engine vacuum to control the movement of the throttle and from what I’m told Ethanol gasoline was leaving gummy deposits in the system causing problems with them. Those issues have since been resolved by Tony and Frank with some preventative measures and improved new designs like the mini electric servo systems .

The new TBW systems have no worries mate because they have no moving parts to gum up . If you have a TBW setup on your bike and no cruise control, the MCCruise is a no-brainer.

McCruise TBW Aftermarket Cruise Control Image Gallery

As a special offer to Web Bike World readers, MCCruise is offering an 8% saving on their already low sale price of $640 AUD for the KTM 1090 & 1190 ADV R kits.

Just use the discount code ‘webbikeworld’ (without quotes) in the cart to receive your special deal and experience true cruise control this summer on your KTM motorcycling holiday.

I bought one of their products way back in 1997 for a Kawaski Concours. While a bit on the pricey side even back then it was a quality piece of gear that worked perfectly for the 12 years that I owned that bike. As the review mentioned, they are great when it comes to customer service and I swear that I even placed a phone call one time when I had a question and they answered and solved the issue over the phone. I was living in Dallas TX, USA at the time and I don’t recall what time it was in Australia but it wasn’t during “normal” business hours for sure. Great product. Great company and great service.

I honestly don’t understand the reasoning for the exclusion of a factory cruise control. There is no excuse in this day and age to not include it on a tourer of any sort.

I’ve had bikes fifteen years old that weren’t premium when new even, that had it.

Anyway, great write up and review. I’ll be bookmarking this for future use.

Tony thank you for giving webbikeworld readers a special discount! Once people get to try MCCruise on their bikes I’m sure they’ll see just how valuable having it as an option can be in their riding life.

William and Duncan, I had it on my 1999 Harley Davidson ultra classic but not on my 2014 KTM 1190. It just blows my mind that was a reality. I looked seriously at buying a Concours too, but the lack of cruise made me go a different way. There’s no rhyme or reason other than cost I would say. I think manufacturers are starting to catch on, but at the same time there seems to be this strange attitude out there among bikers that having cruise on their bike will somehow diminish their experience. Totally not true! It has allowed me to ride literally twice as long in a day and feel refreshed instead of tired.

I installed an MCCruise on my wife’s 2009 Moto Guzzi Norge in 2011, had one problem of my own making which they diagnosed and I corrected. It worked flawlessly afterward. The install took some time but the instructions are perfect. Don’t rush. They have pdf of the documentation which I put on a big screen TV in the shop to better aid seeing detail. Great product, great support. Kudos for expanding the product line to TBW bikes. I have a happy wife and you know what they say.

Well,well,well how about that. I haven’t visited webbikeworld in a while. May in Michigan is when we start riding in Ernest and there’s an article here about my bike. I bought my KTM 1190 ADV last summer. In January I ordered the MC Cruise for Katie (bike’s name) I name all my bikes. I agree with you on most of the things written here and can’t tell you how I like it because when I tried the initiation sequence nothing happened. No light so there’s a bug in the system somewhere. I’m riding her and there are no error warnings so I guess I’m safe for the time being. If and when I have the time I’ll let you know what I find out.

Hey Jim, nice picture of the 1190 with the mountains in the background. I was watching your review of the MCcruise and noticed your windscreen. I bought my 2016 1190 last summer. I’m curious about your windscreen. I don’t care for the stock unit. I also noticed you commented about the stock seat and agree. The stock seat gave me numb butt after about 50 miles. I bought a one piece unit from seat concepts. It made a world of difference for me. I also found a set of Tusk Panniers frame and bags from Rocky Mountain for about half the price of your touratechs. I had no issues mounting them and am happy with them so far.

Hi Mark, thank you for the kind words. The mountains close to my home make any bike look amazing. I’d love to show everyone my favourite roads in person if it were possible so they could take their own photos.

The windshield is the KTM OEM tall tinted windscreen and it works brilliantly to block just enough wind to be comfortable. It also comes in clear. Here’s the link to buy on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-KTM-Adventure-Windscreen-60308965500/dp/B01D5051KU

The Tusk ones have a good reputation as well from what I’ve heard. Good job saving some money to spend on riding gear instead. I’m always in favour of saving where you can without giving up quality.

Re: your MCCruise issues. It sounds like probably one of the connections at the control module is loose or connected incorrectly if you have no signs of life whatsoever. It could also be that you don’t have any power on the aux connector in back alternately causing the issue.

You aren’t located close to Calgary Alberta by any chance are you? If so I could help you troubleshoot it, otherwise it would be smart to contact Tony Guymer at MCCruise and he’d be more than happy to try and help.

I believe this is from a customer named Mark. I contacted him several days ago in response to finding out about his comment saying: ‘Please check page 28 power connection is correct. If you have no lights, it sounds like it isn’t connected to power. Do you have a blown fuse in your accessory circuit?’

He came back to me saying that was his thought too, but he is too busy to investigate further at the moment.

As the manufacturer, I don’t think I can do more. We are in his hands as to how to help. I hope the end result is as public as the first comment ….. there was no contact before the comment appeared on web bike world.

Tony Guymer – I thought I would reply to you here instead of directly in case it may benefit others.

I bought and installed your system on my new Honda CTX 1300 last year. I absolutely love it and use it very often! I can echo the article here as far as my experience overall except that the type I have is apparently different, (and about twice the price, but worth it to me). The MCCruise has turned my sleeper bike into a legitimate touring machine and allows me further trips with less fatigue and hand shaking.

The question I have is about the upcoming bluetooth and firmware update possibilities. Can you provide further information about that and if it will work for the type system I’ve installed, the compact electro servo? Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback – that is what makes my job satisfying.

Our Bluetooth module is compatible with MCCruise kits dating back to about 2008. It will facilitate software updates without having to send the module back here to Australia. Moreover, it can correct your speedo reading, giving you accurate speed on your phone in tenths of a MPH or KPH. It displays the speed limit, but the GPS location and speed limit data are not yet good enough to CONTROL the cruise control SET speed, but it could do that – if and when we turn that on – which could be done remotely using the Bluetooth module!

Most importantly in my view, it constantly logs your speed data and retains the last few minutes. If you have an accident or get booked you can download it to an email in an excel file and check whether you were really ‘in the wrong’.

That is what I love about MCCruise. The potential and how high tech it is.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg Jim! We are now having fun working with companies providing them ATV QuadCruise for autonomous pilot projects.

My company’s twenty years’ experience refining the software and hardware to deliver precision speed control is now combining with our new CanBus expertise and Bluetooth module to provide the platform for big agricultural companies to easily instruct our QuadCruise & Tractor PTO Cruise to control vehicle speed, while they focus on steering, braking and whatever else they need. Our platform already works and is proven reliable and accurate over years of operation.

If they tell it to stop by setting zero speed via CanBus – the engine returns to idle. If they set any speed above a minimum we prescribe for the particular vehicle to avoid drive-line damage – the vehicle starts and goes to that speed.

There is no doubt this is where the future lies with precision GPS control of steering – and speed via our speed controllers, you can readily imagine in the not too distant future having a fleet of vehicles happily tilling or sowing or harvesting or spraying and a drone above with a person overseeing it all – on the other side of the planet – or maybe the gear is on Mars and the person on Earth! That’s stretching it I know, but this is where we are headed.

There is an important rider to this however: we all have to think carefully about the moral imperative of people’s well-being with this type of development – it could be a two-edged sword. The rich could get richer and the poor get poorer.

For millennia people have had to work to survive and challenge and striving is in our DNA. The psychological impact at the personal level, and flow-on impact into society as a whole, from massive under-employment could be devastating.

…. but in the meantime, our staff are having fun!

Maybe a bit late to add on to this post, but I recently bought and installed the McCruise cruise control for my 2018 Africa Twin Adventure Sports. Some say a cruise control on an ADV bike is like swearing in church, but I love it. I thought it was the biggest ommisiion of Honda not to add when they went to TBW on the Africa Twin. Since then they added it on the 2020 model.

I use my bike as much as possible and that means I get to ride a lot of highway. Riding for an hour non-stop without having to check your speed all the time and not worrying about any speed camera’s is a bliss. So much more relaxed and my right hand is greatfull too for not having to grip the handle bar all the time.

The install is very wel documented and easy to do when taking your time. The hardest part was getting the %@#@%# hoses back in place on the bottom of the airbox (which I should not have taken off in the first place, because you don’t need to (the snorkels is enough, please change in manual)).

I love my McCruise and I know I am going to enjoy it even more in the years to come.

Thanks for leaving the comment and I’m glad to hear the McCruise is working for you. I completely agree with your view Honda missed out in 2018 when they brought in TBW on the ATAS. I actually cornered a Honda rep that year at AimExpo and gave him a piece of my mind about that exact thing. I also told him that I was disappointed in general with the changes to the Africa Twin compared to what other companies had done with their premier adventure bikes.

I said “You’re HONDA! One of the most respected builders in the world and you’ve got a fantastic adventure bike in the AT, but it’s not the best when you miss having a basic feature like cruise control. Just do it! Put your full effort into building the best adventure bike on the market already!”

Hahaha he told me they already did build the best adv bike on the market despite my criticism, but I think he knew the truth. The 2020 AT is so much improved over the 2018 and is definitely a top tier machine now comparatively speaking. I would seriously consider owning one that’s for sure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is the kaoko safe to use.

Yes, since the Kaoko unit only uses friction to keep your throttle open, it cannot fully lock your throttle  and can be overridden in an instant and is 100% safe in the hands of a responsible rider.

How does it work?

When engaged, the Kaoko simply applies friction to the motorcycle throttle sleeve that is located underneath the rubber grip. This allows you to set the throttle at any position and even allows you to adjust the set position on the fly as you wish without needing to re-engage the unit every time.

Can I use the Kaoko if I already have electronic cruise control?

Yes! Since the Kaoko is purely a mechanical device, it does not interfere with your electronic cruise control and can be used in conjunction with electronic cruise control. This makes the Kaoko particularly useful when cruising at lower speeds where electronic cruise control cannot be engaged.

How long does it take to install?

Depending on the motorcycle, installation typically takes 5 – 10 minutes.

Does it work with aftermarket hand guards and heated grips?

Yes, we have units specifically designed for use with aftermarket hand guards or heated grips (or a combination of both!)

PRODUCT REVIEWS & APPLICATIONS

Twisted throttle, installation & review, aug 10, 2017.

“Looking for instructions on how you can install your Kaoko Throttle Lock? Maybe you’re wondering what the benefits are? You’re in the right place. This elegantly engineered but ultimately simple device holds the throttle in place for effective cruise control, especially on flat ground. The effect is enough to let you roll down the highway and give yourself a break. Imagine leaning back for a few miles, relaxing your right hand, and start to think that last 100 miles won’t be hard at all.”

Jun 24, 2015

“Kaoko does a great job at giving you a ton of different options, ranging from universal to bike specific!”

10 Great Bikes That Never Made It To America

10 best motorcycle intercom systems, 10 great japanese motorcycles for beginner riders.

If you know how to drive a car, you probably already know what cruise control is. You get up to your desired speed, set the cruise control, and allow the vehicle to do the work. There's no need to step on the gas, and it makes cruising more enjoyable by reducing the work and helping you achieve better gas mileage.

What if you could have these benefits on your motorcycle? Fortunately, with some modern motorcycles, you can. These bikes come ready for cruising and long-distance riding on the highway thanks to cruise control being included as a standard feature. Try it for yourself with these fifteen motorcycles, or check around for yourself and find a model that you like. There are numerous bikes that have come out for the 2023 model year that have this feature built in.

Updated April 2023: A substantial number of bikes on the market have cruise control as a standard or offer it as an optional component, so it is hard to write about just a few. That is why it was decided to add a few more to a list that needed updating anyway. So, below, you will find the original ten motorcycles with cruise control and a few new ones that have been added.

15 Cruiser: Harley-Davidson Sportster S

The Harley-Davidson Sportster S is the bright shining star of the Harley lineup , yt may not be the biggest bike produced by Harley, but it is definitely the sportiest. This punchy little bike is incredibly popular because it offers the perfect combination of performance and comfort. It has a surprising amount of agility for a cruiser. You may not use the cruise control while cruising around town, however, it will come in handy when you get out on the open roads on the weekend. The Revolution Max 1250T engine powers the Sportster outfitted with traction control, drag-torque slip control, wheel lift mitigation, and cornering enhancement.

14 Cruiser: Indian FTR

The cruiser title is a bit unfair for the Indian FTR, as it has a 1,203cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine that packs plenty of punch. Cruise control is only a natural addition; as Indian claims, this is the "do anything" bike. Thanks to improved rider ergonomics, you can comfortably and confidently cruise around town, commute to work, or conquer the mountain twisties. The base FTR model is pretty bare-bones, however, the FTR Sport and FTR R Carbon have ride modes, lean-sensitive stability control, cornering pre-control, and wheelie mitigation.

13 Cruiser: Ducati XDiavel

The Ducati XDiavel is the Italian version of a cruiser , the overall riding position is more upright and relaxed, a departure from the traditional forward tuck we typically see on a Ducati. However, the XDiavel doesn't tread too far from Ducati tradition regarding technology and performance. In addition to cruise control, it has a ride-by-wire system, power launch, and Bosch IMU.

12 Cruiser: Honda Rebel 1100

The Honda Rebel is one of the most popular cruisers on the road today , it is low and light, and the engine is lively with plenty of torque. Your body will relax into the saddle as you make your way around the back country roads. The Rebel has a fresh new take on cruiser motorcycles with a blacked-out style. It comes equipped with cruise control, anti-lock brakes, and wheelie control. There is even a USB-C port under the seat, making it easy to charge your devices while on the go.

11 Adventure Bike: BMW R 1250 GS Adventure

It should come as no surprise that the BMW R1250 GS Adventure comes with cruise control. This is just one of many technology features that BMW has packed into the bike , for example, the headlights fully swivel to be adaptive for maximum road illumination. What makes BMW adventure bikes so popular is their rider comfort. You can customize the seat height, adjust the handlebar height, and there is a selection of seats that you can choose from. The increased comfort instills confidence in the rider. In addition, the comfortable riding position and engine reliability allow riders to travel further.

10 Adventure Bike: Yamaha Super Tenere

The Yamaha Super Tenere is a legendary adventure touring motorcycle that has proven itself year after year , while you probably won't use cruise control during the off-road stints, it will be handy on the pavement. The Super Tenere shines when you challenge it with an epic cross-country trip. Powering the bike is a cross-plane crankshaft engine designed to withstand rugged riding conditions. Yamaha ensures riders are ready with included cruise control, electronic suspension, traction control, advanced fuel injection, and rider-friendly ergonomics.

9 Adventure Bike: Ducati Multistrada V4 S

The radar adaptive cruise control takes a little getting used to when first driving this bike because when it senses that you are within a specific distance of another vehicle, it will automatically back off the throttle. Yes, it makes it safer for you while on the roads, but it can sometimes become frustrating when trying to reach your destination.

8 Naked Bike: Yamaha MT-09 SP

You wouldn't expect the Yamaha MT-09 SP to have cruise control. However, this gritty inner-city prowler has this convenient feature and much more. The MT-09 SP is like a new era for Yamaha , Yamaha engineers put in some serious work revamping this bike, and thankfully, they listened to the people. The result is a bike that has a lighter and more powerful engine. The torquey response will make you smile as you remember how fun motorcycles can be. There are three ride modes, plenty of rider aides, and cruise control.

7 Naked Bike: CFMoto 700CL-X

This Chinese-engineered bike is relatively new to the States, but the CFMOTO 700 CL-X has been overseas for more than a few years. It is a motorcycle designed with all the tech that could be imagined at a surprisingly low entry-level price. It has a 74 horsepower liquid-cooled engine that can push out up to 50.2 pound-feet of torque at 6,500 RPM.

6 Sport Bike: Kawasaki ZX-10R

The Kawasaki ZX-10R may stem from Kawasaki's years of racing experience, but it shines on the road too , this liter bike has a laundry list of features, making it a great value. In addition to the electronic cruise control, it comes with launch control, engine brake control, cornering management, and traction control. These rider-assist features help the bike perform better while riding on the street or testing your skills on the track. Twist the throttle and feel the smooth power delivery from the 998cc engine.

5 Sport Bike: Aprilia RS 660

Sport bikes are not as popular as they once were, but there are still a number of bike enthusiasts out there that will ride nothing but a sport bike. One of the best sports bikes to hit the market in the last decade or so has to be the Aprilia RS 660 that brings all the available technology to the table, including cruise control and a powerful 100 horsepower 660cc engine that delivers an incredible experience.

4 Touring Bike: Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring

The Moto Guzzi California 1400 Touring is a bike that may not turn heads, but what it lacks in style, it makes up for in performance. Built for riding long distances, cruise control is a natural feature to include. It is just one of the many creature comforts that make this a luxury motorcycle. The saddlebags boast an impressive 9+ gallons of storage. Then there is the smartphone connectivity that lets you view the bike's data with a tap of a finger.

3 Touring Bike: Honda Gold Wing

Since the early 70s, the Honda Gold Wing has been one of the premier touring bikes on the market. Since the 80s, it has been one of the few bikes that always offered cruise control as a standard feature because the people at Honda knew how important comfort is to consumers when cruising across the country on a motorcycle. The new Gold Wing will continue with this tradition with an optimized cruise control function, along with other innovative technology such as four ride modes, a smart key for keyless access to saddlebags, a tire pressure monitoring system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto integration, and more.

2 Sport Touring Bike: Yamaha FJR1300

The Yamaha FJR1300 proves you can still have fun riding a touring bike , the cruise control feature is one of the simpler features on this bike. For example, it has lean angle-sensitive LED lighting, traction control, and advanced ride-by-wire fuel injection. In addition, you and your passenger can adjust the seats for maximum riding comfort. The integrated luggage system has a quick-release system, making packing and traveling easier. A nice touch is the fairing glove box. This hidden compartment also has a 12V outlet inside. This makes it perfect for charging electronics or plugging in your heated gear while you ride.

1 Sport Touring Bike: Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX

Arguably one of the most commonly known sport bikes from decades past is the Kawasaki Ninja, and even today, it is one of the most talked about models around the campfire. The Ninja 1000SX is a newer model that offers you, as a rider, numerous creature comforts such as cruise control, traction control, power modes, ABS, smartphone connectivity, traction control, and more. To top that off, the inline-four 1043cc engine offers 124.3 horsepower at 9500 RPM and 75.4 pound-feet of torque at 8000 RPM. That gives the bike a 0 to 60 time of 2.99 seconds and a quarter-mile sprint of 10.9 seconds.
