Very nice. It is pricey; however, Freewire from Sena to integrate the GW systems of the 1200/1500/1800 costs more.

For me, the display is too small, and worse is that the large angle that you are required to divert your eyes down and to the right is way too extreme and takes your eyes and attention much too far off of the road in front of you.

It's just too much of an attention diverter and distraction for me. (Watch the video and see how much it diverts your attention off of the road in front of you.)

As usual... YMMV.

Sort of neat what they can do. But way too much clutter and fuss. GPS thing could be cool for those adventure rider types, and the speedometer feature could be neat for those stripped down builds. Don't need integrated audio control--The ride is my music. Don't need integrated cell phone capabilities--If I need to call somebody that bad, then my bike is probably broken, so I don't need my helmet on. I don't need my helmet to take pictures of the scenery for me--If the view is that nice, I want to stop and see it, now...Not later when I download my memories from my helmet to my computer. I'm not one of those 'new gadget' guys, though. But I can see how this would get the attention of those that are.
To each, their own. If that is what puts a grin on your face, then go for it.

"The one device to simplify your ride"

NOPE!

I dont think any device could simplify my ride.
When I ride there Is
no phone
No gps
No music
No screens
No camera (at least most of the time)
If I find myself needing those things, I will borrow a car newer than mine. :-D
