I have an "old to me" Ducati that will occasionally, for seemingly no reason, show a warning light on the dash that according to the owner's manual means " Outer lighting ON "
Cool.
I like the dash in my old GS.
It has a tach. A BIG HONKIN tach.
That is all.
Nary a bell, switch, warning light or speedo. Just a 5 1/4" tach.
I just discovered that Lane Departure Assist in some cars will annoyingly tug on the steering wheel to keep you in your lane if you try to change lanes without signalling.
As a motorcyclist I think this is The. Best. Feature. Ever.
Make it mandatory on every single car and truck manufactured from now on and make sure the driver can't turn it off.
Technology must be cheap to add to a bikes instrument panel.My "new to me" Ducati has a bunch of functions that i can't imagine ever using.Some are common sense,odometer...ok.trip counter...ok,average speed...wtf!,current fuel consumption...who cares? Average fuel consumption...more who cares? Remaining range...ummm,trip counter? Fuel trip counter....Do i really need to know when i'm going to be walking?
My gps is the same.Why do i need to know my max speed?Average speed?Time in motion?Etc Etc. Ok,max speed is cool.
I have never (in 100,000 km) used the "lap timer" function on my 2004 ZX10R. Even if it were a track bike ... it relies on you pushing a button at a certain spot to indicate the completion of each lap. If I'm riding on a track, I've got a whole lot more on my mind than that!
But ... even better is the "eco" mode indicator on the digital dash of a Kawasaki H2. Point #1, if that light is on, you're doing it wrong. Point #2, that is on a bike that will pass everything except a gas station.
Ignition key and steering lock.
... doesn't seem to slow the crooks down enough, would be way better if the wheels just fall off when somebody tries to steal it.
Way back in 2018, Ducati announced it was working on front and rear radar systems for a forthcoming new model to be launched in 2020, and the Multistrada V4 is that bike.
