If you look at the attached picture from an article by sportider.com, there is a linkage that prevents the DBW motor from opening the butterflies more than the throttle cable is opened. You may be able to remove the linkage and turn it into a regular DBW system which has blipping capability.

Still looks like the cable only does the pull-shut part... Unless there are twin cables running from the throttle-grip on an R1 or R6??
Secondly...
Do any of the DBW system work quickly?
Every car that I have been in that has DBW has been woeful.
Even naturally aspirated engines feel like turbos with very perceptible delays both going on the throttle and coming off of the throttle.
Of course my experience has been rental cars.
Seat, Yaris, and an Audi.
The last one (Audi) was not too bad, but the first two we almost 1/2 second of delay going on and at least 1/4 second coming off. I doubt that is all plenum related.
