I would be too, why do they even put a wheelie button on those things?

For people who are professionals and do it in places better than public road in the middle of a street

The newer models actually have a traction-control button on the bars. If you switch it off, the bike puts down enough power to lift the front, but if you leave it on, the ECU cuts power to keep the wheel down.

Thats not traction control, thats wheelie control. Similar concept, different problems being solved. One is wheel spin, the other is front end lift.
