I just finished reading the lengthy review in the Sept. Rider magazine on the K1600GTL and I find it a sad commentary on the status of today's high tech excuses for transportation simple as that. Next thing you know BMW will rip out a page from Tesla's play book and have the lights and horn on the K1600 keeping time with the audio system as it plays the German national anthem. Honest to god if you gave me one of these high tech wonders I would immediately slap a for sale sign on it no hesitation. I could go on and on about things like traction control activation even whilst navigating curves or being able to select passive or active riding modes but the long and short is if this is what motorcycling is coming to count me out simple as that. Before this is over most transportation vehicles be they 4 or 2 wheel will become throw away items just like so many other high tech devices in today's world like flat screen TVs to name one. Oh, and if you gave me an electric car it would get a for sale sign pasted on it as in right now faster than you can say: "1000 pound lithium ion battery". Come to think of it what do you think your electric car will be worth when its fifteen thousand dollar 1000 pound lithium ion battery warranty expires after 8 years? Well, for the auto manufacturers this will be a big plus because now they can sell you a new high tech wonder for another $50K and simply recycle your 8 year old high tech wonder and no I don't own a smart phone and god willing I never shall. Grrrr...
And now boys and girls we end another inspirational rant about life on planet earth what's left of it.
