I’m literally the opposite. I love all the electronics.I too am a luddite. My 2017 truck is as basic as I could get, no key fob, just a key to unlock the doors. No cruise control, no heated seats but does have many extras I do not care for, backup camera, Bluetooth, computer screen on the dash and a menu of unwanted crap that while may be useful, it is a distraction and not needed. Give me a speedo, tach, dimmer switch and a blasting horn and I am happy both on four and two wheels.

All of the above are great moves forward in my opinion - at the same time I get why existing owners may not like it. I’ve come from a completely different biking background. The electronics and the styling are what has allowed me to make the shift. Where I grumbled a bit was the logic behind the access to the electronic setup. Seemed a bit dis-jointed, like they’d had different teams working on different bits of it.
To the guy with the friends with broken down BMWs, I guess don’t buy a BMW then! But I don’t really see why the electronic extras would be any more unreliable than they are in cars.
