What are the chances of a cable and spring breaking at the same time?
I think this is a more plausible answer as to why most bikes have this crazy setup... (found on the web)
I did find out that some time ago that Honda was in a law suit and lost because of a throttle stick(single cable).After this it seemed that the dual cable came out and everyone jumped on the band wagon. If a throttle would ever stick it will be because of lack of maintenance.
