Just saw this and thought it was interesting.

Watch the video. Anyone else think the conventional headlight view looks wrong?

About time someone put this system on a motorcycle, they sure as hell need it. I hate riding hard at night due to the fact that just like in the video, you can't see around turns. My 1125R with its frame mounted fairing/lights isn't as bad but it still leads to pucker moments.

A little over-dramatized on the conventionals, my HID's see around the corners fine. We all need more techno-gizmos on our bikes, don't we, just ask Dr. Greg.

Problem with some of these gizmos is that when they go tit's up it cost a fortune to fix them.

The video is insanely over-dramatized but it's an incredible idea.

I rally like Adaptive Bi-Xenon lighting and it's high time someone brought it to motorcycling.

Ya get SPOLIED

Click on Bi-Xenon and view the video.

By the way . . . . you are correct in that some of the fancy smacny gizmo and accessories can start to sting . . .
