A straddle vehicle includes an expandable bus topology to operate one or more peripheral devices from a single location on the straddle vehicle, the peripheral devices being physically distributed about the straddle vehicle. The topology includes a bus trunk and a main hub controller. The main hub controller attaches directly to the peripheral devices and/or other bus trunks. Additional peripheral devices attach to the main hub or other controllers. A user interface module operates from a single location on the handlebar as the sole user controller for the peripheral devices. For easy operation, the module includes a four-way rocker and other switches manipulated by a user's thumb. Preferably, the bus topology operates according to a controller area network (CAN) protocol. Peripheral devices include cell phones, CD players, MP3 players, radar detectors, navigation devices and radios, such as AM, FM, XM, WB, GMRS or CB. Methods for control are also described.
