  1. Re:As one more biker... on Heads-Up Displays for Motorcyclists · · Score: 2, Insightful
    After reading through all those comments here, I really wonder what kind of biker would actually need that Information at all!

    When riding my Honda CBR600F-Sport, make that a F4i-Sport for you american guys, i can tell you my actual gear and speed (within 5% accuracy, Id say) without glancing on my Speedometer.

    The feeling on your bike is way much more intense than in a car or anything, so I really wonder how anyone can want to be distracted by any kind of crap in your field of vision.
    The saying goes "Your bike drives to where you look at" - and when Im glancing on some wacko Nav info or stuff, I sure dont look where I want my bike to go...

    This HUD stuff has no place in a motorcycle environment.


    Besides: I always strived to get the lightest helmet I can lay my hands on, and then someone would willingly put several hundred grams of equipment in the most important safety device? Nah, 100% nonsense, get away with that stuff! :)

    /me loves his 1.210 gr X-Lite N801 Carbon/Kevlar helmet.
