I think you and I can agree that motorcycles were never meant to be disposable. I mean, the whole point of buying a bike is that you like it enough that you're going to keep it for at least several years, right? You buy it, live with it, mod it, crash it, fix it, and keep riding it for years. Sometimes decades. But lately, that idea’s starting to feel a little… outdated.
Because if you look at what’s happening with a lot of the new motorcycles flooding the market today, particularly those from Chinese manufacturers, you'll notice that bikes are starting to behave a lot more like smartphones. I'm talking frequent updates, rapid redesigns, and new features rolling out before the last version even has time to settle in the market. And if that trend sticks, it could seriously reshape what motorcycle ownership even means.
Take fledgling Chinese manufacturer Kove, for example.
