I keep looking at my new Hayabusa and thinking it looks unecessarily conservative wierd.\u00a0 It is not the same ‘out of this world’ design that the original model was subjected to.\u00a0 The original’s design was judged completely wired!<\/p>\n
The new one just has bits added on to the original design – and its doesn’t look\u00a0 as ‘original’.\u00a0 I keep going on about design because I’m trying to understand what was the key thinking was…<\/p>\n
I believe that they should have kept the original design, updated the rear end treatment and the exhaust pipes better quality exposed metal parts, changed the instrumentation but adding features rather than less! Of course the ability to change power settings\u00a0 should be retained!<\/p>\n
That said the Hayabusa is still imposing in the physical form unlike the 1000cc+ bikes that want to look like a 250 wannbe.<\/p>\n
I’m bringing it up again because the new 2008 Honda CBR1000RR is weird looking thing\u00a0 but I admire it more because the usual conservative Honda has given us something you can miss for any other model!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
