No, it's not real. It's a CG job by Luc1. Credit is even given to him for the work on the page.

i dont see why you would be worried about fly by wire throttle, im sure all the worst case scenario's are covered by the manufacturers..

do u think they would send something out to the general public that could malfunction and cause seriously devastating consequences ? ? the americans would sue em to bits. its probly been done before but in this day and age i cant see it happening.

I'm not sure about this whole fly by wire revolution..... Unless you can plug your bike into your PC and control the programming it seems kind of crap.... You have to buy an aftermarket computer to make even the smallest change.... And considering EVERYONE does something to their bike in the end the most popular bike will be the one that people can most easily make changes to. At least with carborated bikes you could adjust cables and wires etc.... Sure it makes more sense to do it all computerised.... but still.

hmmm
just caught this

saw a pic supposedly of the '07 6R in the latest AMCN
mit fuggin' HUUGE side zorst
maybe Photoshop..maybe not
but the AMCN story said..only one engine

anyway Stereo
fly-by-wire and computerized stuff ain't so bad
with something like a PCIII (or LS1Edit on a car)
stick the vehicle on a dyno, plug laptop into system connector
and tune away

does it work????
well we have Paul (Blue 12) on his 12 with 180 rearwheel hp

and me..???
I just had an 'Edit' on my FI V8 Commodore (and got a Monaro
Cold Air intake added too)...she went from 191 rearwheel kw to
227kw....

woohooo ...watch out rear tyres

cheers

.

if you are worried...do NOT fly
all modern commercial aircraft (Boeings and Airbuses)
are FBW
and for that matter so are our defence aircraft like the Hornets
(but ignore the F111s...being designed in the 60s means they use
...string or rope sumfing like that

)
