Off Topic » CF Motorcycle's after-sale feature subscription plan

I think KTM gave it a try a few years ago. (Are they still doing that?) Now CF Motorcycles is planning to sell at least one of their motorcycles using a "subscription" plan for various after-sales options. There is a lot of swearing and general bitching about subscription concepts in this video blog rant. Fortunately, the subscription details for the featured CF Motorcycle model are shown during the first minute of the video . : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlyiLQ6WPRU

they can shove their subscription models where the sun don't shine, for cars and bikes alike (also TV's, vacuum cleaners, fridges, and soon toilets once some tech-bro decides to put a chip into one)

I despise the modern trend of everything needing an app and nickel and diming the purchaser at every step

Heard a worrying story at the weekend about a Chinese bike. The owner was leading a group of Riders when the Fly by Wire throttle suddenly went full throttle and flipped him off the back. Obviously the bike was damaged and he was injured.. Manufacturer wasn't interested. Bit worrying 🤔
