Really great idea, but I'm going to have to wait until the patents run out and the Japanese get ahold of it: £615 = $807. That's 1/3 the cost of my PCX.

Cool feature set.

Great idea. A bit bulky, but that will be solved as technology progresses. The one thing I did notice was where it was placed. Looks like you would have to have a specific type of helmet. Add that to the cost, for those who do not have one of those yet. I wonder how practical it would be for a scooter rider. Scooter are usually meant for short trips, where the GPS is not needed. Still, great concept.

Will have to see how these catch on moving forward. . .some people just like to pull over, check a map, hydrate, maybe light up a Marlboro, chatter, and then get back on and ride. The Marketing people must be really scratching their heads on this new technology about where and to whom it's going to sell. Just my two cents. . .. ;)

Such a device is important for larger scooters or motorcycles that travel a lot outside the city. For PCX is very expensive and rarely necessary.

I like the idea, but it's a bit too "in your face" for my liking. Not sure if it could stop a helmet distributing the energy in the event of a crash either.

On the occasions I need GPS assistance I just setup my iPhone then put a bluetooth earpiece in before putting my helmet on. #sorted.

When is "more" too much ?? Just another way of doing something we all already know how to do. Its all about the toys and the "techy" influence that appeals to man's psyche..

I still like maps. You have to divert your eyes off the road to check the small screen, enough time for something bad to happen.

"The one device to simplify your ride"

What an outright <BLEEP>ing lie.

How the <BLEEP>does a "Head-Up Display (HUD) with integrated navigation, communication, camera and music" simplify riding a motorbike?

None of these things are required to ride a motorbike, every single one of them makes an already dangerous task more dangerous.

Save yourself some time and money, just go and ride over a cliff.

Fixed :)


To post a youtube, place only the letters, symbols and numbers seen After the = sign (of the youtube video you chose). In this video you would choose and cut 1bVCfCW1y8I. You would then paste that between the two center youtube brackets (you create by clicking the youtube button found above the message box). It will look like this: [youtube][/youtube]. When your done with your message and youtube attachment, click preview. If all looks good and you're satisfied, click submit. Showtime :)
