The "Riding Assist" technology greatly reduces the possibility of the bike falling over while it is at rest, was unveiled in January 2017 in a global debut at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vagas.  How does it work?  When engaged, the system uses minute steering adjustments to keep the bike perfectly balanced.

Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you're in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

Pappy!

Just saw that on another forum this morning. Pretty neat technology.

Might come in handy after a rather engaging Saturday night out.  ;)  I once saw a guy at a Wing rally that would come to a stop on his Wing, sit there and make small moves with the bars and never put the sidestand down. I watched him for at least five minutes before moving on, was told he had been timed once still holding at 15 minutes. I know with my c/t in back I can come to a stop sign, make a full stop then move out without putting my feet down. Doubt I'd want to walk away from it like they did in the video.

Be neat to enter a slow race with it.
