Totally agree.they could have just made it an accessory unlock, keep the initial price tag low, let people choose what they want and still make a profit after the sale (like with heated grips, or quickshifter(why you would want that on a touring bike is beyond me))
but no, why make a competent all rounder for 10k when you can sell a tiger 900 Gt pro for 19
they did the same with the higher priced 850 sport
They have optional:
heated grips
quickshifter
bluetooth kit
etc
etc
instead they're gonna let people use aftermarket "mechanical" options when the TFT screen would be great at adapting to that type of option, they have screens for everything on that screen
big missed opportunity
