I ride motorcycles to get away from this crap. I would like no part of this whatsoever.
Four of my bikes are so low tech they don't even have an ECU. That'a where I'm at and will stay.
I've got a phone mount on my adv other then that I'd agree with you.
Mine too, but as you and I well know this is not required for any essential function of the bike. And you can remove it at any time, yeet it into the bushes if it annoys you, or replace it with a newer and different phone running whatever you want however you want. If a rock takes out your mounted phone, you can pop down to the Dollar General and buy a $40 prepaid jobbie that'll at least map you home, and even so your bike will work without it.
I don't need any badly designed, dumbass user interface, potato processor, crap-for-a-screen electronics to be integrated into the bike. That's stupid.
I'm the same, my bike is older than me ffs. On the other hand, what do you think of beeline? I like the idea that it isn't actually a map just a "cooler/warmer"kinda navigation style.
If not, how do you navigate to new places?
E: nvm, saw your feelings on the matter as a response farther down
Sounds like I'm not buying a new KTM with that software on it
