I know the 04 doesnt. If so it sucks. When my back tire is cold it spins like crazy if I get in to it.

No.
The 2006 cbr doesn't either.
No current sportbike (road version) like GSX-R, ZX-10, or R-1 have it either.

Traction control has been illegal in AMA until just a few weeks ago, they decided that since most teams had it anyway, (especially Suzuki who has the best working system) that it would be legal next year.

Maybe in a few years, after developing the tech in a race environment and making it more practicle we'll see it in a road going bike.

As the top litre bikes, and new Hyperbikes (ZX-14, new Busa etc) approach 200rwhp, we'll either get a HP ban (limited) or some sort of traction control. Have you tried riding a 400lbs / 200rwhp machine before with a street tire? Definatly not for an under experianced rider.
