1400GTR Kawasaki's Night Sight Bike : DigInfo

DigInfo: http://movie.diginfo.tv - Riding motorcycles at night is dangerous because of limited visibility so Kawasaki Heavy Industries made their 1400GTR that will soon have a night vision camera system that helps the rider see at night. Not for sale yet, Kawasaki is planning to put two infrared cameras that can detect pedestrians and other vehicles and relays it to the driver through a helmet attached eyepiece and a speaker system. On the currently available on the 1400GTR a sensor has been attached to the tires which notifies the rider when the tire pressure is too low.

I would have settled with a redesigned headlight reflector. kawa low beams are unsafe to begin with. no wonder people cant see at night. your damn headlight only shines 15-20 feet out in front of the bike!!!!!!

I just run high beams all the time and adjust them down a little!!

That's cool stuff. I just bought a new 2008 connie after owning a 92 I must safe much improvement. It's nice to see they are continuing to upgrade this fantastic transporting machine. Anyone know if you need a specific helmet with the camera system? thanks.
