I would like to see this features on the future Buell models

......umm, nothing says 'hooligan' like training wheels :)

I would shed a tear if EBR ever did anything like this
 
Imagine you don't need to use side stand anymore. Motorcycle can also follow you out the garage or it can get a tight parking spot. It also will help you balance at low speed or when you are staying at traffic without putting your feet on the ground.

Minimal speed I can keep my feet on the footpegs on my 2009 BuellXB12Scg is 1-2 mph. My Buell has 240 rear wheel, it helps a lot to keep my feet on footpegs at slow traffic, but when traffic stops I have to put my feet on the ground anyway. I hate to ride at constantly stopping slow traffic, this feature will be priceless for future Buell motorcycles.

When I ride my bicycle I can stay at one place and balance using front wheel without putting my feet on the ground, I trained this skill a lot, but I would not do the same on my Buell without this assist system.

So you are saying you should balance on your motorcycle with zero speed? I never saw any person who can balance his motorcycle staying in traffic.

I don't like Honda design, Buell has the best design, the most pleasing aesthetics, but not all Buell models, just a few of them. The most important thing for me is how motorcycle looks. And there are some features I would like to see on Buell motorcycles.

It looks like they combined fuel engine and electric motor so motorcycle can move slow and smooth at low speed without rider using electric power.
 
Dropping your bike (especially a Buell) sucks for sure. I should know I'm pretty experienced at it. I dropped the Ulysses in the service entrance of the dealer when dropping it off for a tire change, dropped it at the bike rally last year when my wife (who had a few too many drinks) jump on a little less graceful than usual. Shoot the second day I owned the uly I slipped on some mud and dropped it in my yard. (Those aren't the only times either) Now fortunately the Ulysses wide bars and the cases on mine protect the rest of the bike really well. Still wouldn't take the assist, just seems wrong! And y couldn't that guy pick up a lightning? I'm barely 5'7"and 175 I can pick up buella no problem,guess it must be all the practice!
 
Yeah, rider assist, I think I'd rather drop the bike or crash and yes, I've done both and still hate when it happens !

I know I can't pick up the Explorer by myself, I'm happy to say I don't yet know if I can pick up the ully by myself.
Old, 155lbs, I used to be 5'9".

Only time I could see the value on this would be for our veterans and handicapped that want to ride but just need this type of technology to get it done.

Other than above, I could see it's uses when I want to answer my phone or want to text !
