As for Honda going after new riders, that is not a bad idea if they intend to survive. Most of todays young people would choose an iPhone, iPad, iPod, or a MacBook over a motorcycle. Sad but true. .

Simple solution.
Put an iPod / Pad / Phone / Android dock on the thing and give them a Bike App. That'll get them in. The Phones probably have more processing power than 6 high end Ducati suspension systems anyway.
Then include a "soul" control as well for the old farts.
Big sign on the side saying IOS6 and Android 4 compatible only. You might not know what the F^&*(k that means but they will.
They won't know it but the next time they upgrade the phone the bike will stop working.
The bike will only be available free with a 3 year subscription plan.
Geez I should be running Honda I reckon.
Here is a picture of me thinking.
