What is it with all these electronic gadgets abs, traction control, engine mode, to control how much power it makes suspension modes for different styles of riding seems that some riders have forgotten/unable to ride a bike by feel and the seat of their pants with out a computer to do it for them.
Im with you on this one. All adding value for the manufacturer, cost for servicing/repair onto the owner. Bikes would cost much less, be lighter, and more affordable for new riders. £10k for a new bike. Jeeez, thats more than I paid for our first house :lol

That's very true, that's why you buy them second hand
as I said you can get a very nice low mileage Multistrada for 6 - 7k.If you've not ridden a bike with gadgets, go and try one you'll be amazed
It's like when ABS first appeared on cars, or sat nav many were knocking it, not many do now, chances are you've got both on your car and possibly your bike
