Braking during cornering

[Gimlet]

I've never understood why you need hill-hold on a motorcycle. A manual car, yes, because your'e trying to operate three pedals with two feet. I have it on my car because it has an electric handbrake which is either on or off with nothing inbetween - though I can still manage with just the clutch because it has plenty of torque at tickover. But on a bike with the brake operated by the right foot and the clutch and throttle controlled by the hands it's the easiest thing in the world. Strikes me as just another complication and another piece ot electronic gadgetry to potentially go wrong.
