I understand, but since the launch of the website telling people they were going to sell the GPR50, the throttlizer and some other display board, they haven't updated anything. Its not vapor ware in that it hasn't been built. Its vapor ware because it hasn't been put into production.
The least they could do is add a note updating the population about its status. The last time they updated the entire website was in February of 2007. Thats over a year, and they don't even have a product out the door. I understand you defending it, it does look like a cool product, but its far from being a potential for use in a motorcycle.
