Not all manufacturers execute the various aids to the same degree of success.
Triumph's cruise control is finicky compared to the BMW system, which just works, really simply. Don't even start me on the Aprilia version, that just ended up not being used, it was so unworkable.
In contrast to one comment about electronic suspension I would say this is fairly well developed technology now with many of the manufacturers giving it a go. I like the ease of adjustment with an electronic set up. I fear it breaking down and the resulting costs.
Having had a bike with suspension built for me which was manually adjustable I know how much that means to the sheer joy of riding and the satisfaction of experimenting to dial that suspension in for your riding style etc. Electronic suspension tends to offer someone elses approximations of how things should be, not quite the same.
ABS seems to be a no brainer to me, as is Traction Control
