Yup - especially if it feels like it puts a filter in between the inputs and the outputs, or if it somehow lessens the experience. But in this case, it's technology that just lowers the required energy to maintain speeds for long distance cruising. Instead of having to come in and out of cruise control manually every time you come up on another vehicle; the speed is managed to track the car ahead until it's clear again to accelerate back up to preferred speed. It quickly becomes addictive for any significant highway cruising in a car, and I can't imagine it would be any different in a motorcycle. It's obviously completely superfluous for any entertaining/aggressive/twisty type riding that generally makes motorcycle riding so enjoyable. But we all are sometimes caught on long highway slogs, and anything to make them safer/faster/more comfortable/less energy draining, all seems like a worthwhile effort.
