I use cruise in a vehicle all the time and I hate when I come up on someone going up and down in speed and I have to keep disengaging/re-engaging the cruise. I have only driven a car with adaptive cruise a few times in the mountains of northern Arizona on 2-lane roads. Each time I came up on these drivers who could not keep a reasonable steady speed and I was impressed with the ACC. It worked great. Now, in the 200 miles or so of driving, I never had an issue with with accuracy of the system, but a couple hundred miles is hardly a valid test, i admit.
Whether I would use it on a bike, I would have to wait and try it, but my thoughts are that I am rarely behind a car for more than a minute at most times, so I wouldnt think I would have much use for it. I really feel this is a car feature not a bike need, but that is just me.
Funny story... I was following a car on AZ87 into the town of Payson and I thought I would see how the system worked going down in speed until I had to stop (let the system do it all). Went form 55 or so, right down to 25 or 30, keeping the same distance from the car in front. The system worked great. Then, the car in front swung right, into a traffic circle and out of the sight of the sensor. That Honda wanted to fly then... LOL
