Lots of tech and lots of ugly. Each manufacturer appears to follow the same concepts of packing more and more tech and nannies into their bikes and making them hideous at the same time. The organic riding experience is disappearing.

Amen.
I find it much more engaging to know I'm in charge of every aspect of the ride, managing traction while accelerating, braking, turning.
Call me old-fashioned, I like to shift with a clutch, hold the bike on a hill with the rear brake and spin the rear wheel (or choose not to) with the throttle. If I get too close to the car in front of me on the highway, I either roll off the throttle, or use the brakes. No fancy radar required.
*shrug* at least there's still dirtbikes, old bikes and the Race Mode/Rally Mode/All Nannies Off mode...
