I hope that's not a touch screen. Anyone who has ever ridden a bike can tell you how impractical and distracting that would be. Try using it in the rain, with gloves on.

Definitely looks like a touch screen interface from the photos.

The screen itself is distracting enough even without being a touchscreen. I really disklike the tesla-esque design with it, it feels completely wrong for a bike.

That was my first thought as well, it only looks pretty to someone whose never had to pull over and take off their gloves to check their phones GPS...

It also looks like a free tablet to anyone bold enough to rip it off while you're parked on the street.
