SupaNova HSi integrated tail light

[trenner]

This past weekend, I had a chance to evaluate the new SupaNova HSi integrated taillight, from Vizi-Tec.  Here's a writeup of my experience, with pictures and video.

Enjoy!

Holy   

Perhaps a simple switch to change from daylight to night riding would be in order?
Bernard's light makes our bikes outdated - amazing
He has gotten himself into trouble though - now he has to make a headlight to match

Yipes!  Can that be legal... man that looks blinding - I want it

Any notions to when the production run will ship and MSRP?

[ToyDragon]

GIMMEEEEEE!  I want.

wow

can you get the bracket separately, I wonder?

[trenner]

I imagine so; they're a separate part number.

They're meant for integrated turn signals and integrated license plate light, though, so I wouldn't buy one unless your tail light is an all-in one unit, or you'll be rudely surprised.

Holy crap.

Awesome.  It be amazing if it had user-adjustable brightness.

The HSi makes my 490i almost obsolete.     Although the test 490i in the video doesn't flash 5x like mine does when you first hit the brake.

...the test 490i in the video doesn't flash 5x like mine does when you first hit the brake. 

Yep, my 490i is missing the SupaBrake algorithm.  I'll get it upgraded eventually (it's just a firmware change to enable SupaBrake), but for right now I'm too busy riding it to lose the tail light for the few days required to get it reflashed.

I heard a rumor that Vizi-Tech has a tank of sharks with frikkin' LASERS mounted on their heads!

How do you purchase this Tail light? he doesn't seem to have them on his website anymore, and my Emails I have sent seem to have never been answered, I got an email a couple of months back saying the taillights were now available, and then they disappeared again?

Whats going on with them?

All the old lights are sold out and won't be reintroduced.
The new light shown here will be on the market, I guess in small series, later...    I'm not defining "later".
I'm sure we'll be informed when it's time

Bernard (the owner of Vizi-Tec) is a forum member, and will probably chime in, but here's a recent post from him:
