Honda Files Patent For Blind Spot Monitoring For Bikes

[SalvageSV]

I found this pretty cool. With how my SV rumbles though, I don't see the haptic feedback doing much good. lol

Smart idea but still wouldn't trust it. Nothing will replace my shoulder checks, until the neck arthritis sets in! Drop the bike, ain't gonna be cheap to replace those sensors!!

Neat but would not want it on my bike. It is sincerely not that difficult to look behind you for a split second. You're on a motorcycle for gods sake...

Being that it's Honda, I can see this on something like a Goldwing. They already have everything aside from a power liftgate. It makes perfect sense.

I use blindspot mirrors, I run one on each mirror They're really helpful, especially at high speeds where looking behind you is dangerous.

As long as you don't let it replace your shoulder checks!

I've had a couple of cars with them. I love them. Lights not on there is room for me to barge in.
