    Just seen an advert for the latest gizmo from our friends at Garmin…

    Yes, the zūmo™ R1 Radar

    Motorcycle Radar!!!

    Take a look, although it only works with a smartphone or the Zumo XT2, and costs £520… but they will add a Zumo XT2 if you haven’t got one and total price then is £1,579.97 including tax.

    Just looks very 70’s computer game design to me, and not entirely sure it is worth the money over well adjusted mirrors.

    But then I’m tight with my hard earned money...o_O

    That sounds an awful load of cash for this. As you say what's wrong with well adjusted mirrors?

    This is very new tech and as time goes on no doubt the price will come down and reliability probably improve. It is becoming more frequently fitted to high end, and high price, bikes but I think, as I have managed to survive motorcycling for 60 years without it I will not be purchasing!!
