Clarion intros "drip-proof" CD player for scooters

If you've got your scooter all tricked out but are still looking for a way to drown out the noise (or jet engines, as it were) you may want to give Clarion's latest CD player some consideration, which promises to hold up even if you regularly go for drives in the rain. You'll also be able control it relatively safely, with the included remote control ready to be attached to your handle bars. Of course, you don't necessarily have to use it with a scooter, with Clarion also suggesting it as a solution for motorcycles and "leisure boats." What's more, Clairon's also planning to release an iPod interface for the unit, although there would seem to be other, less expensive ways to enjoy your iPod while you're motoring about. Look for this one to be released in Japan next month for 44,100 Yen, or about $375.

About time manufactuers began to recognize the largest auto market in the world! Granted the iPod setup I have for my '05 Stella 150 is a bit more suited for my needs, it's a good start.

Now, if they would only make an affordable heads-up display interface for this that would be perfect

Oh dear. Now not only do we have to listen to the whiney 'ning-ning-a-ding' of oncoming teenagers on scooters, now we have to listen to their music too?

Do you even know what a scooter is? :|

don't worry, I don't think a scooter has the battery nor the space for a very thumping system.

Most of the folks on scooters here aren't teens, but folks in there 30s and 40s. The teens are too busy crashing there twin 15" equipped bitch-baskets and racing themselves for no reason from stoplight to stoplight.

Over here, scooters are generally 50cc and incapable of going any faster than 35mph.. Why? Does the article refer to something else?
