First reaction is a no from me, but I’ll reserve judgement, they might be useful. More shit to worry about batteries and charging though, a seasonal accessory for most too, which means the battery will likely be reduced or nackered after a year or two.
Definitely bmw prices…
I’ve never tried a HUD but I’m not keen on the idea. I don’t like the thought of having information permanently in my vision, it seems too distracting. I’d rather just glance down from time to time as I don’t need to constantly be told what the speed limit is or how fast I’m going or that I need to turn right at the next junction.
The moment I hear “game changer” i want to punch the nearest American.
It may find a market: some people revel in having the latest electronic gimmick, although this seems a particularly pointless one. Perhaps it’s the result of growing up in simpler times, or perhaps I’m just a grumpy old git, but all these distractions from the simplicity of just riding a motorbike turn me right off. It’s just modern capitalism trying to get people to buy stuff that nobody needs. Rant over.
This is the home of grumpy old gits.
Not sure i would like the distraction of trying to read something in front of my eye. What if you already wear glasses?
Expensive nonsense you really don’t need
I have one in the car and used it a while when I first got it. The novelty wore off and I almost never turn it on now. The only time I bother with it is if I’m doing a long motorway stint with cruise control on, so thats almost never.
Wow, only ÂŁ600.
Bargain…
I heard Tom Cruise has ordered a box full…
If it’s anything like the optional HUD on some new cars that I turn off, it’s a no from me based on the distraction (and my age)
I find the in screen display (HUD) in my car really useful and not at all distracting.
However like many have said I would not want that in glasses or on my visor when on my bike.
I think it may depend on the situation. Everyday riding then no but for longer drives out / touring (if the battery lasts) then maybe.
That being said, I didn’t move my Quadlock from
my Speed to my Thruxton and it’s great not having a phone in front of me again. Hadn’t thought it was a big deal or having much impact until it wasn’t there.
Funny you should say that. Not really related to the glasses, but whenever I have traded a bike in in the past, having put it back to standard, there always seemed to be something nice about riding it in standard trim again.
And how much tat you have spread across the floor after you’ve taken it all off.
