Good for you, no shame in that.
I'm still dithering.
Hmmm. Based on 90 minutes use this morning, I'm not convinced the upgrade from V to VI was worth the extra £300 - display isn't as bright as the V (my main reason for buying) and although the clock on the VI is correct, the clock on the bike is now four hours out. Haven't tried the routing or smartphone control features yet.
For anyone else dithering, I'd wait until you've actually tried one before buying.

If the V6 is much more responsive than a 5, then the 5 must be a really slow dog.
I like the screen, and I'm looking forward to controlling it from the wheel. But it's not as easy to use as a phone nav and much much less responsive...

How can you try one without buying it?
Most dealers are happy to let you play, or on a test ride bike.

Tried it both in automatic and not, no noticeable difference, and just not very bright, certainly not as bright as my nav V. Aiui the screen change with the VI is for bright sunlight, so I'll have to wait for some of that to try it again. Otherwise I'll be buying my V back off the bloke that just bought it off me!

Strange. In all the side by side reviews the 6 is much brighter.

That's interesting. Maybe I'll head down to the dealer to compare my VI to another one to see if mine's not right.

Silly question. You're not wearing anything polarised when viewing it are you? As I understand it the new screen has some sort of anti sun polarised screen?

Interstingly, the 6 looks slower...
Thanks for that - very interesting video. No, I'm not wearing anything polarised, just helmet visor, no glasses or anything.
Straight in
