Sounds to me that’s his shtick. Why “X” bikes suck. Aside from the fact he is entirely in love with the sound of his own voice, he really didn’t say anything that proved his point. In fact, the Connie is one of the least gizmo sport tourers out there. And I didn’t see the wheelie he promised, either....
At least he pronounces the name correctly. Beyond that, he is a dork.
What a moron. Oh dear me, I have too many options! Maybe the dealers should only sell one bike, have them all exactly the same. Then he wouldn't have to make any decisions. No that wouldn't work because he would still have to decide to buy the one bike or not.'
Yeah, but beyond the video and the guy that made it, what are your thought on all the electronics on bikes? How much is too much? What electronics do you wish you could get a Concours with? What do you wish you could get one without?
That is the reason I posted the video. Just to get the discussion started.

All is good. I mostly set mine up the way I wanted it and never touched it again. In fact I want more. I want ride modes with ESA. It's why I bought a Multistrada. The only electronics on the C14 I don't like is the way it goes into PANIC mode when the fuel is low or the batteries in the TPMS are low. The flashing waring that requires pushing 2 buttons in the right sequence at the same time is very dangerous IMO. Have it come up for 5 seconds and then just have some small light or icon stay lit would be fine. Or just allow the rider to acknowledge the warning by pushing the menu button on the left handle bar once.

I haven’t seen those warnings yet. Guess I need to read some more of the manual.
I don’t get the rider modes tho. Why not just give full power all the time and let the rider control the power with how much throttle they give it? I don’t understand why anyone would want less power?
You haven't been low on fuel yet, then?? Wow- wait and see. Blech! Poor design.
Because
1) You might be riding in poor conditions and just want to be conservative beyond ABS/TC.
2) You might be learning the bike or loaning it to someone and want a "chill" mode.
3) You might want different throttle response (not necessarily "less power").
4) You might want to extend your range and have a safe but extra lean mode (what we have now with FEAM).
1) I thought that was the reason for TC.
2) the Concours is not a bike I would recommend for learning on, or loaning it out to someone that I would be concerned about on it.
3) Why? Isn’t that what the clutch is for?
