Anyone seen this review?

Looks good to me, although not sure if road-legal in the UK.

A tad pricey at £549 too!

Yeah seen this on SVRider, Good idea and looks to work well but doesnt help the majority of us with a dual light set up

The use case is a bit disturbing though. "Bikes lean over as much as 50 or 60 degrees when they go around corners" - this is true, but if you do this at night, you're asking for trouble no matter how amazing your headlight technology is.

They should say "even if you lean over a little bit you get an unlit spot" - which is aptly demonstrated by the video. I'm impressed by the results.

Oh and the start up flashy pattern - I WANT ONE!

True, but for those with the naked (like me!), I'm certainly intrigued.

Great idea. Makes me think though, that maybe they should make use of the gyroscopic auto-leveling mounts used for GoPro's. To have the entire headlight reflector spin around as you lean, with the bulb fixed in place in the centre.
