Now that's a good looking bike

[His Dudeness]

I like all of the concepts shown in that magazine....its as if the manufacturers are blinded to the fact that some bloke from leeds can manage to knock up a top design on his laptop during his lunch hour while they pile millions into making bikes look shit....I cant fathom it.

I know what you're saying but the guy in Leeds is creating something that looks good in a picture and that's it. The guy at Yamaha is thinking about the real world and all the technical issues that have to be solved to create a bike that handles well and makes crazy power without blowing up. All that within a budget where they can still sell it at a competitive price and make a profit. I don't know how they manage it.
