It maybe could have used a few changes but I was soo excited to see these come out. It does seem a bit small and I would prefer they scaled back on the video screens and stuff like that (some differently styled front and rearlights would have been nice too) but I always thought it was a good start. Maybe it would have been too expensive and there wasn't enough of a market but how I wish they would do something similar. Thanks for posting the video Pete.
