    Well these days bikes will only have a sale If they are loaded with fancy electronics. The old school days of riding are slowly vanishing. Years ago I used to ride around on TLS and TLR. They are a very poor handling bikes unless your pour money into them and still... It might not be spot on. Having said that every time I went for a spirited riding and came home in one piece....... You will always get that satisfaction of having a good ride out.

    These days bikes are 200bhp and climbing. You are obviously going to need some decent electronics to keep that power in check. Also they are like mobile phones with technology. People wants them. Fancy dash.. Fancy controls...Electronics suspension... QS... TCs etc etc

    Take cars for instance.... You give a youngster an old school car with no parking sensors.... No cameras... No power steering... Keeps stalling with wrong clutch control ... I would be interested to see how long it would take him/her to do a parallel parking :joy:

    Technology is great and good to have but we should also be able to deal with things in life without relying on technology 100%.
