Abstract
A motorcycle having a throttle rolloff switch that is operatively associated with the throttle control and the cruise control device to deactivate the cruise control device when the throttle control is rotated to reduce the speed of the motorcycle. The rolloff switch includes a magnetically-sensitive sensor, a magnet positioned in spaced relation to the sensor and movable relative to the sensor, and a coil spring positioned between the sensor and the magnet so that the sensor and the magnet are normally biased in separated relation.
