The 2023 KTM 890 Adventure has electronic packages you can buy for cruise control, rally mode and other things. If it is a monthly subscription, I'm out. Pay once? OK, I can live with that, except all of it is already on the bike. A monthly service, no thanks. Stuff your bike. I think BMW bikes will be going this way. I think they started it with their cars already.
Pay per use, on products you own
I know car manufacturers have talked about it, some may even be implementing it.
Want heated seats that your car you bought came with? Pay a monthly subscription for them to be functional.
This is the first I've heard about it in the motorcycle world. I'm a cardo fan, but I'm not excited about this at all. I can only hope it fails.
Cardo pack talk custom
Prices range from 20 bucks a year to 40 bucks a year, monthly payment options available as well.
These options are fully available on the current gen pack talk edge, and bold(but older Bluetooth version and DMC version)
My friends and I use the bold, work great, no need to upgrade. I just don't like where this is headed considering the suggested retail of these new units are the same as the old, fully functional units.
