Excitingly different doesn't sell, Bimota Tesi or Benelli Tre anyone? they're all well "different" and sure you will get pointed at out on the road but usually accompanied with the comment "blimey you don't see many of them about"

Sportsbikes get lighter and quicker each year in the name of progress, they are technical products bought as a want rather than a need. Sure we like to look nice as well but the technology goes into the stopping and going, the looks tend to evolve rather than be a step change.
