I like the drive-by-wire throttle in my bike. The traction control it enables has saved me a few times. Like when hitting wet leaves or a moist metal grate. The yellow light blinks, you crap your pants a little, and survive the little skid without even a story to tell. Much better than scooping yourself off the pavement. More expensive bikes even have rain and sport modes that modify throttle response. All impossible without drive by wire.
