Now that all the major shows have been and gone, and all the new models have been revealed, I feel it's a bit of a let down. Where's the excitingly different bikes, the sort that make you stand up and take notice. For sure the new Ducati 1098 is great and a massive improvement over the 999, but all the sportsbikes are just getting lighter and quicker, and next year will be the same again. How about some unusual innovation on real world bikes that you can enjoy on the road, not just the track.
