Stark co. - Suggestion box

Good point!

They could make it look foolish while at it. A soundbox strapped to it, acentric motor to shake it etc etc. They can easily make 5 maps that have curves like gears. I'm planning to do that as soon as i get an EX. In the premium subscription you should be able to do that and i've been curious about that from the get go.
HP per wheel speed (that's what the Stark can simulate) maps are out there for some bikes. If you could link the HP output into a sound/shake box you could do some cool marketing stuff with that

I am also kind of thinking you could make it seem real and basically put the critics in a spot where they are staring at a potential product that is everything they asked for. Maybe it would change their mindset. Could include a smoke machine and a VP race fuel sent dispenser. Really cover every base and see what the response is.

it already have haptic signal on the phone screen just so you know

I'm not sure you understand what haptic means. On every other bike I've ever owned, when you press the indicator switch, there is physical feedback - a click, snap, or something similar - that lets you know that, yes, you have successfully pressed the indicator button. That's haptic feedback. I don't have to look down to my dashboard to know that my turn signal is on because I felt the switch through my finger.

On the EX, there is no feedback, and because the indicator switch is so poorly designed, it's impossible to be sure that you've actually started signalling without looking down at the phone screen. Approaching an intersection is the most dangerous time on the road, and having to take my eyes off of what's in front of me to verify that I've hit the switch correctly, and then having to repeat if it didn't work the first time, adds unnecessary risk to riding in traffic, and is a problem that every other manufacturer has solved.

I assumed haptic signal was something else, i didn't think twice about it. You have a point, but I have to say that at least on my bike there is a click on the button. It's something they updated in the latest models because my previous Varg didn't have it. Now I feel like I've pressed the button correctly

I’d love to see a resettable trip odometer that doesn’t go to zero unless I hit reset. Most dirt bikes have this.

since ever trip is recorded with total distance maybe thats why they didnt put that

Hold on, there's a high-tech solution to know if it's on or not without having to look at it: the blinkers noise.
So you mean they don't do that?
