I'd say probably not, but there are modern bikes with the same function type system. My 2000 GoldWing has auto cancelling turn signals that are based on distance/time/lean angle. Very cool system... Only bad thing I've found is that the delay time isn't adjustable and I have a bad habit (good habit?) of signalling very early when I'm on the bike so that idiots behind me don't run into the back of me. Unfortunately sometimes the autocancel beats me to the turn and I end up turning with no signal. Oh well, life can't be perfect. But I do know that the big Wing doesn't have any FI glitches/surges. I hear that modern bikes have mostly cured the unfortunate affliction the GTS seems to have concerning off/on throttle transitions. The new YZF-R1 and GSX-R1000 uses throttle body vacuum-controlled injection so that the throttle bodies actually restrict the air/fuel based on load and RPM... no sudden off/on transition, more of a smooth roll-on. Might be another topic for discussion as to whether we can retrofit a similar type TB into our system...
